Barn fresh parts
I met doug who had these items since he was 16. he bought this 1961 colorado police pan, and as the story goes built a chopper,but he had the sense to stash the original paint matched set aside in the barn at his pops house... these have found a nice home

changes
I got this pan when i was 21 from a older guy i used to work for. 2 summers before he convinced me to buy a 1968 fl shovel from him which ended up being my first motorcycle and at that point i had no clue of the sickness that was to come. the pan was my first exp. with jockey suicide and he threw me right on it, i paid him for the bike and kicked her over, i shifted to first gear and rode off, the bike was running barely and it was just chugging and puffing up the hill (maybe 5mph), i really didnt know much about old bikes still at this point so i just went along with it took it up the block and back..longer story short ive been workin on this bike to this day and it went thru a complete overhaul. i got rid of everything except motor and trans and built a bike with more original parts..it has already been thru a few changes, im not happy with the way it is now, so back to the drawing board.

95YR OLD HOARDER
So this is a young gentleman i met about 4 years ago and bought a 40 el extreme basket motor from. he is quite the internesting dude. there is literally oil drums filled with matching cased knuckle and pan motors. i had to go there many times just to recieve a few little parts. i will never forget the times i have spent 9 or ten hours in his junkyard sweating and rumaging all his treasures. there is six cargo trailers filled and he even converted his house into more storage and moved into a trailer outside.the whole place is a booby trap and the windy path around the property is a single footpack with walls of trash and stuff on either side of you. i think he said he hasnt thrown away a piece of trash since 1969....
it is way to hard to actually try to take a picture of this place by heres my best
