Electric Starter Conversion for a 1962 Panhead

Part One of Conversion

We've done this electric start conversion about a dozen times now and it really makes a difference with the old motors especially with hot starting. The customer also requested a magneto which seems a little like overkill but it does produce a nicer spark and has automatic advance and retard. Still waiting for the starter from the manufacturer....we'll update when we are complete.

Oil Tank Mods

We used a stock Softail oil tank because it has a large battery tray. The tank was modified to accommodate the passenger foot peg mounts and new tank mounts were made to fit the rigid frame.
