Nicks Panhead for sale

It was basically built from a stock '61 FL - matching cases, proper trans, original swingarm frame with a pan hardtail welded on, stock '61 rear brake, stock '61 dual point ignition, '61 primary, oil tank, stock controls chromed, etc. The chopper parts on it are all mid 70s aftermarket - bars, steel trees, spool, seat, Branch/Mikuni carb conversion. I replaced all the soft parts, brakes, some gaskets, and changed up the seat, otherwise it's as built 35 years ago. Featured in Dice issue #26. It's a good runner and has been ridden from Phx out to Las Vegas, CA and, Mexico. No breakdowns to speak of. It sat in a garage from '82 to '08 with a chipped gear in the ratchet top which locked it in 4th gear. Phone  (480) 620-3749. I'd like to get $13.5K for it.
Thanks. -Nick
