2000 Harley Davidson Santee

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Wanted a Panhead are Knucklehead Style Bike Troublehead problems lol.So Put at the time was the Newer Evolution Motor (Blockhead) on a Santee Ridgid Frame with Kick Start 4 Speed Rotary Top (Cow Pie) Transmission

What motivated you to start your project?

New Harley Davidsons just cost to much at the time due to the Yuppie Invasion.And wanted a true feel of Riding a Vintage style Ridgid Harley Davidson.So I made My Own.

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the bike?

Keeping it true to the Bikes of the 40s and 50s and the feel of Riding a bike of those Days.Keeping it Kickstart only (for now anyway).

What are you most proud of?

Over the Years I’ve changed the Bike around a few times.But recently think it’s finally the way it’s going to stay as long as I’m alive.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

Nice Panhead!
