#Chopper #Shovelhead #HarleyDavidson
Just wanted to introduce a new bike I have been building for the past few months. Purchased this shovelhead last summer 2021. It was pretty much stock. I did a full topend rebuild and some other changes to the chopper.
Cold Start
Yes Shovelhead is spelled correctly...The font I choose is a little funny with some letters.

Nice bike, looks like a fun build! I noticed your rear master cylinder. Just a bit of advice, the brake line comes close to the exhaust. You might have some trouble with your brake fluid heating up or not cooling down. If you can find a 45° or a 90° strait out of the body so you can guide the line away from the heat you will have better luck. Keep up the good work. Shoveleds forever ✌

@RustinRoberts 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks man! I actually have another master on the way here that I will have to fab up another bracket to work. This one is updated and has the banjo style fitting on the end =) My current setup hasn't given me any issues. Even on long rides. The stainless steel braided line with the heat wrapped pipe, all that together seems to be keeping the heat to a minimum luckily.
