Experimental Panhead ~ 250,000 miles or BUST !

Experimental Panhead Website

Take a few minutes out of your day to read about this site I ran across...A Link at the top of the article "Experimental Panhead Website" will take you to their website for a ton more interesting information.
So in a nutshell ... Someone is taking an antique motor, a 1948 Harley Davidson Panhead to be exact and riding it 250,000 miles without any woes...I believe that is the jest of it.

To read more about it go to the web link provided above. You really have to read it !
 There is a brochure on the site about the objectives, sponsors, engine specs, etc.

Some really fantastic graphics done by  Inuendos Design Co, in Siloam Springs, AR !



 

 The Experimental Panhead is a real world experiment starting with an antique engine…

…a 1948 panhead, and building it with modern technology that is available for a panhead, mostly Evolution and Twin Cam technology along with a few other tricks. The goal is to see if we can make the Experimental Panhead engine go 250 thousand miles in the real world on American highways and perform as well or better than modern Harleys.
