A fine example of rock n' roll history, this bike started life as 1972 shovelhead FLH, although it now more closely resembles a Dyna model. After a fair amount of refurbishment, this bike now looks nearly identical to the way it looked in 1983 when owned by David Lee Roth and featured in the Van Halen video, Panama. During the 1970's customization craze, this FLH received some radical modifications including a "freaky Freddy" rear fender, low rider style front fender, wide glide front end, custom fabricated sissy bar, cool blue and purple flame paint job, and hand stitched custom king and queen seat. Diamond Dave owned the bike from 1983 until 1985, then it passed from one Van Halen crew member to another until it ended up in the hands of a private collector in Florida. Although 36 years old, the bike fires up perfectly and is in excellent working condition. Keep your eyes open, especially during AMCA events, to see this bike tearing up the asphalt! Please enjoy the YouTube video below of out-takes from the Panama video featuring Dave cruising around L.A.
