2015 (SFRO) OLSSONS CUSTOM Harley-Davidson Panhead Bobber 1440 – A Masterpiece in Old School Style

Basic Information and History

A genuine custom build in show condition – crafted with uncompromising precision, passion, and the finest components available on the market. This motorcycle is the result of a 15-year enthusiast project and has had only one owner since new. It was SFRO-inspected and approved in 2021, which means it is permanently exempt from vehicle inspections.

Built in classic 1957-style Panhead old school fashion, but with modern solutions discreetly integrated. The bike has only been ridden approximately 1,500 km since completion and remains in near-new condition without any scratches or blemishes in the paint. All documentation and receipts are saved.

The engine is professionally hand-built, and the frame is custom-ordered from VG-Frames in the Netherlands. Several components such as the fuel tank, oil tank, rear fender, wheel hubs, and handlebars are specially manufactured for this build. A bike that runs like clockwork and delivers true riding pleasure.
