Right Hand Shift Panhead Gas tanks

#1

Post by RicD13 »

Does any one have any information on right hand shift for Panheads? I have seen RH shift tanks for 45" Ul's but have not seen them i pictures or person for a Pan. If they were not made, is there any information on RH shifting system? I have 2 Chiefs that are RH shift I would to make the pan RH shift also. Any help would be appreciated.

H-D never made a right side shift for Panheads. Even '47 Knuckles with right shift got '46 and earlier tanks. If you did it you would have to fabricate all the bits. No '47 up shift gates with a Big Twin spacing were ever made and 45 gates don't work.
