shovel head jugs on a sporster
hey guys its been a while. Wondering what machene work is needed to put shovel jugs, heads, and rocker boxes on an old iron head. I have the chance to get the whole upper end from a 74" shovel for nothing. need to know about push rod issues if any, the base of the jug if that needs to be worked, and if I need to get longer pistons or shorter ones. also if I have to stroke the motor to get it to work, or can I leave this part the way it is. thanks.

Google "Shovester". That's what they were called back in the day. Since the BT has 1 cam & the XL has 4 cams, there are "issues", as the weinies say nowadays. Seems like Trock had a hand in building them, but that might just be my memory acting up.

They talked a bit about the 45 Magnum, too. I rode one of those once. Owner said to be nice, 'cause he figgered the bottom end wouldn't hold up. I was. He blew it up himself tryin' a hill climb.
