Always amazed that folks think a special paint job raises the price/resale value on a bike by a gazillion samollians.
Other than "paint" and "decals", that bike and my 84 FLH are the same (tour-pak & passenger backrest are on the shelf). That said the one in the title of the thread is probably a heck of a lot cleaner and probably has less miles than mine. But Shovels (like all old iron) are supposed to be ridden and not just admired from a distance IMHO.
And yes 1984 was "officially" the last year for the Shovel platform, but there are registered 1985 Shovels out there. Seems there were a few left over parts and such.
Nice bike...seen them advertised for stupid money, which they don't seem to fetch.
Still, one at a reasonable price would be nice to have..... laced wheels and white paint. IMHO the '82-'84 FLH belt drive was a pretty special bike.
No departments had a lot invested in shovel spares so the surprise of they will be getting evos was rejected and harley assembled the bikes they had agreed to in writing

well it is a last official year of production , limited edition , special paint , 100% stock , 3 miles on the odometer bike . that's got to worth something . maybe not as much as the owner is asking .
