Big, bold, and beautiful, Harley-Davidson´s Panhead series virtually defined what a Big Twin motorcycle should be. Beginning in 1948 with a thoroughly modern enfine, Harley continually refined the Panhead with ongoing chassis, powerplant, comfort, and apperance improvements. Hydra-Glide, Duo-Glide, Electra-Glide, each generation offered a better, more civilized machine and set the benchmark for large-capacity, long-distance mounts.
One look at today´s Harley-Davidson makes clear the importance of the Panhead era. The American Big Twin of 1948 to 1965 is clearly echoed in the Evolution-engined machines of the 1990s. no one better appreciates Harley´s past than The Motor Company itself.
Hatley-Davidson Panheads is both a celebration of one of H-D´s most-beloved motorcycles and a thorough technical analysis of rhe many changes made throughout the Panhead´s production life. More than 100 color photos combine with an exhaustively researched text to create the most complete history of the Panhead series.
