Default early 1984 EVO FLT tour glide shovelhead top?
Just curious I have a 1984 FLT tour glide with the 1340 EVO top end shovel bottom end, could it take a shovelhead top end, would it be compatible?

How you going to bolt it on? Nothing is impossible, but one does start to cross the "silly" line occasionally.

While an 84 EVO has shovel castings, they were machined for EVO jugs...so it would not be a bolt-on affair...same amount of work as putting a shovel top end on any other EVO.
