1959 HARLEY PANHEAD WITH ORIGINAL SIDECAR. 3RD OWNER DOCUMENTED. GROUND UP RESTORATION IN 2009 BUT SIDECAR IS STILL ALL ORIGINAL. BOUGHT IT FROM THE 2ND OWNER WHICH BOUGHT IT IN 1968. FOUND AND MET THE ORIGINAL OWNERS THAT LIVED IN FLORIDA AND TOOK TRIP UP TO VISIT AND SEE THEIR FAVORITE BIKE. THEY ONLY SOLD IT BECAUSE THEY HAD YEAR OLD BOY PASS AWAY AND NEEDED THE MONEY. SHE TURNED OUT TO BE FRIEND OF MINE WITH THOUSANDS OF EMAILS SENT BACK AND FORTH.I HAVE COPY OF THE TITLE FROM 1968 AND ALSO COPY OF THE SALE OF THE BIKE WITH THE SIDECAR FROM 1959. QUITE INTERESTING THAT BACK THEN THEY HAD TO PAY EXTRA TO MAKE SURE THE PAINT CAME FROM THE SAME BATCH WHEN ADDING FACTORY SIDECAR. THE ORIGINAL OWNER TOLD ME THAT SOMEONE HAD TAKEN PICTURE OF THEIR BIKE WITH OTHER BIKES IN FRONT OF THE DEALER BACK IN 59 BUT SHE DIDN'T KNOW IF IT EVER MADE IT INTO MAGAZINE. IT TOOK ME YEARS TO FIND THAT PICTURE IN COPY OF THE ENTHUSIAST MAGAZINE JUST AS SHE DESCRIBED IN FRONT OF THE DEALER WITH THEIR DAUGHTER SITTING ON BOX OF OIL IN THE SIDECAR SO SHE COULD SEE OVER THE WINDSHIELD. COPY OF THAT MAGAZINE ALSO GOES WITH THE BIKE AND MANY OTHER ITEMS INCLUDING SOME PICTURES FROM BACK THEN AND BOTH COPIES OF THE TITLES. THE BIKE LASTED THIS LONG TOGETHER AND EVERYTHING COLLECTED FOR IT WILL GO WITH THE BIKE. ALL NUMBERS MATCH, ENGINE CASES, AND THE NUMBERS ON THE SIDECAR FRAME AND TUB ARE THE SAME PROVING THAT IT CAME LIKE THAT FROM THE FACTORY. PRETTY AMAZING STORY THAT THE BIKE WAS NEVER CHOPPED UP AND SEPARATED. EVEN THE SECOND OWNER WAS OFFERED GOOD MONEY JUST FOR THE SIDECAR BUT HE WOULDN'T SEPARATE THEM. PREFER TO SELL IT TO SOMEONE THAT FEELS THE SAME. THE BIKE RUNS GREAT AND LOOKS GREAT, NOT PERFECT BUT NOTHING MAJOR AT ALL. ONLY APPROX 2000 MILES SINCE THE RESTORATION. MOSTLY ALL CORRECT EXCEPT SOME OF THE PLATING IS CHROME WHEN IT SHOULDN'T BE BUT THATS AN EASY FIX IF YOU WANTED TO DO IT.  I LOVE THIS BIKE AND LOVE IT JUST SITTING IN MY GARAGE BUT ITS TIME SOMEONE ELSE GETS TO ENJOY SUCH GREAT STORY. 
THE BIKE AND STORY CAN BEEN SEEN AT 'antiquemotorcyle'. GO TO MEMBER STORIES, THEN PANHEAD STORY AND THERE IS 21 PAGES OF PICTURES AND SHORT EXPLANATION OF EACH PICTURE. IF YOU CANNOT FIND IT EMAIL ME AND WILL HELP. AM LOADING SOME PICTURES OF THE BIKE BUT IF SOMETHING IS MISSING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE JUST LET ME KNOW.
