Ace ’57 Pan

This classic looking 1957 Panhead bobber was built for a customer in Japan by the Ace Motorcycle shop in Kobe, Japan. The builders were given a used 1957 FL bought in the US and some basic ideas of what the owner wanted. The builders at Ace came up with this gem. They used a narrowed “Glide front end with the front wheel from a K-model. A set of fatbob tanks were also narrowed to give it a lean look. The solo seat was custom made. It looks like the Japanese like our antique bobbers.
