Watch Jake and Sid talk about the bike, share stories behind many of the build decisions and find out what's next for this '48 Panhead chopper.
Can We Build a Chopper in a Day?!
We recently decided to build a chopper from parts we had laying around the shop. To make things more interesting, we wanted to challenge ourselves to see if we could build it in one single day.
Mitch Johnson's 1981 Harley-Davidson Wide Glide Shovelhead
Mitch bought his shovelhead roughly seven years ago as a completely stock 1981 Harley-Davidson Wide Glide. It's gone through several iterations since then which include some Japanese- and Indonesian-style influence.
This cone shovel is part city ripper and part shop guinea pig featuring a slew of early iteration Prism Supply parts. Check out the video and let us know what you think of the bike!

"Wildfire" 1965 Harley-Davidson Survivor Chopper
If you've been paying attention to our channels lately, you'll recognize this bike. It's a 1965 Harley-Davidson survivor chopper built by Gino from the Philly area. It's a pan/shovel engine nestled into a knucklehead frame with flame molding in true '60s chopper fashion.
Wildfire | PART 2 | 1965 Harley-Davidson Survivor Chopper First Start in 20 Years
In the first episode of our attempt to get Wildfire running we got 'er to start, but there were a number of issues to address before calling it a running bike. The pushrods were extremely loose and the fuel tank still had rust, which was wreaking havoc on the petcock and carb.
Wildfire | 1965 Harley-Davidson Survivor Chopper First Start in 20 Years
We recently got this 1965 Harley-Davidson survivor chopper, originally built by "Gino" from the Philadelphia, PA area.
We're told the last time this bike ran was around 2002, so we decided to get 'er running during a recent shop night. Watch as we comb through the pan/shovel chopper, troubleshoot issues and discover cool aspects of the bike all in the midst of general shop shenanigans.
Prism Supply | Shop Tour
We’ve since expanded to a 7-person team operating out of an old fire station in Charlotte, each of us focused on providing parts for vintage motorcycles with an emphasis on quality design and U.S. manufacturing.
Paradise Road Show
We just back from a trip out west to see a bunch of our friends at the Paradise Road Show. Our trip started with a visit to the Cycle Zombies crew where we got to see Beach Pig and Tropical Beef, Matty Matheson’s two panheads that feature a slew of our parts.
After that, we got to see the show in Palm Springs at The Saguaro. Our friend Jonny shot some photos while perusing The Golden State, so keep scrolling to enjoy his pics from our trip.
