I agree that the early shovels need to have more attention here but its up to all you shovel lovers to bring it here .I'm always wondering about them had 2 myself from 77 to 81 where are they?? there were lots of them around but now i rarley see one anymore. I heard a rumor that H-D bought the used ones from dealers and sent them away overseas but I never came close to finding any proof that this happened anybody else hear that? I cant believe that they are just sitting around in barns or we destroyed all them. I always will remember the fun i had with them while they were trying to chase me up the hills on my ironhead (lol)

Just out of curiousity, why are Sportsters listed, and Shovelheads aren't? A 1984 Shovelhead is still a new motorcycle to me. But, so is an Ironhead Sportster (to me, that is). But, if the older Sportsters are being recognized, why not the older Shovelheads? JMO.

Just to add my opinion ( no real monetary value here) My first bike was a 71 FL which I still have. I bought a 91 FLHS 3 years ago because the wife liked the ride better. I took the Shovelhead back to a solo bike and get 10 times the pleasure riding it over the EVO. The only problem with the 71 is the total loss oil system if you know what I mean. Still it runs too strong for a rebuild and it starts first kick every time ( no electric start) As a matter of fact I sprained my thumb with the kickback from the electric start EVO!!!!
