In my sleep, I assembled what I guess my subconsious mind feels is the ulitmate bike for me. Then I took that bike on many runs and even up to Labor Day in Maine. Everyone was loving the bike and I was so psyched that I'd finally accomplished my goal!
So what did this amazing bike look like?
First, start with a Panhead frame (straight-leg, please)...
Then add on an FLH front end and some tires (I'd opt for solid rims, but Google Images isn't cooperating)...
Toss in the shovelhead engine...
Then...well...then I guess cut the rear third off, so the ass end is riding on the frame, immediately behind the seat...
Yep, this was basically it....well, with solid rims, and painted rattle-can black.
How did the rear end roll along? I dunno, in my dream I was always facing forward. Maybe it had little caster wheels or something. Or maybe it had Big Wheels on the back - that would explain some of the slide outs I was doing.
See? When I said "dream bike" in the post's title, I wasn't kidding, because I was most definitely asleep when my brain came up with this thing...
Good thing I wrote all this down. I'm going to need to refer back to it when I get the build plan moving.
Wish me luck...
