| Panheads
are motorcycles that were manufactured
by the Harley-Davidson
Motor Company from 1947 to 1966. The
difference between the panhead, or FL
model as it is officially known, and
the EL model, is that the panhead's
motor has an overhead valve
configuration. The EL, also known as
the "flathead", has a
side-valve configuration. The panhead
earned its name from the appearance of
the valve covers which are deep
"D" shaped pans bolted to
the top of the cylinders. |
