Hello,

come on over and check out the link above ,

many of us still prefer the shovel ,, it's who we are and the soul of the machine makes the difference .

 

Looking good Thunderbolt, will check out your site thanks

 

Most shovels are a love/hate relationship.I think youll always see one around.There are times when Id like to bury mine up to its handlebars in the back yard.When it runs it screams.

 

If your are going to rebuild with all the electronics and epa sh** on todays bikes you will want a shovel. Easy to carb., remember those,and can be wired up in your sleep. You see from this site the guys who are willing to take your shovel and I can assure you that you can go into any Harley shop and tell the gray beards you are putting together a shovelhead and you'll need a keg for all the volunteer help.

I went to a "biker" bar last Sat. called Mcghoo's. Their tap system is an old shovel head motor. Really cool !

 

oh hell no....shovelheads are not obsolete....any more than a 67 big block Vette with factory sidepipes

 

i was always told by some bike builders that they really like the shovel for high compression since there cast and not aluminum...also a friend year before last picked up a shovel for 10.000 really nice and then he spent the year putting another 6 grand into it..

 

I built up a '78 FXE from a rolling basket case - it was an $1,100 buy, then I added another $8,000 and lots of time. It's light, fast, noisy, and gets a lot of attention. In comparison to my '04 Ultra, the shovel is fun - the Ultra is comfortable.


$0.02

 

Were the shovels built strictly during the AMF era? I'm relatively new to the world of Harley...just curious.
