Do it.... seriously

@@andrew9145 oh i am!

If I had to get a Iron head HD that was best for ease of operations, maintenance, and just good ol dependability, it would be a shovel... I love the prestige of Pan heads and Knuckle heads and even flatties, but a shovel is most dependable, in the iron head realm

@@klaytonvonkluge4905 awesome bikes. Mines brown and vintage looking. Park next to a brand new bike, you'll get all the compliments. My 8080 sings

And the head

Need a spliff with it

LISTEN TO A OLE ROYAL ENFIELD BULLET MINE IS A 1966 MODEL THE OLDIES ARE ALLWAYS THE BEST IM A BRIT HOW FAR DO YER GET BEFOR YER HAVE TO FILL UP

Coffee makes a sound?

I'm in

@@eciekoc yes you just have to stick your ear right in your hot cup of coffee you'll hear it

Here a beautiful sounding of all HD shovelhead, what materials of pipes, love it.

Agreed, the soundtrack all of those shovelhead Harley's thumping is something that I could listen to all day

The real thing is much better. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jt9xdtB21Mq2kXk.html

Best sounding bike ...

Yeah, but those open primairies... I hate that ratling and squelling. Sounds broken!

So much fun aren't they! I love the 48! The older Roadster has to be the best all-round I think. Best handling and double stoppers on the front.

And the most bullet proof design.

Then u must love ratty VW’s

@@keithrobinson8028 Actually I do. I have a ratty 69 VW trike I sometime ride. Let me guess...you're a convertible top BMW CAR guy.

​​@@JohnDoe-ny1wp Bought or built? We know what we like and that'll never change. You though, will follow the next fashion-wave that'll hit you. I know who is more fun at parties, do you? Those ratty bugs will make ladies talk to you about their parents having one of those and yap, yap, yap. It's actually quite fun. But will they look at some 80k dollar convertible, with matching luggage? Not at all! Don't be so judgemental. It doesn't suit you Sorry JohnDoe, it wasn't for you, but the bully above. Sorry!

I'm sorry you had to live threw that. Once you get a pumped up EVO you will be mad you had spent your life with a type writer sounding valve train

You are one hundred per cent correct.

Согласен, даже мы ничего подобного не сделали!!! Хотя хватает нашей мототехники отличной. Но по звуку, это шедевр, даже до нас этот звук доходит.

Agreed 👍

I like knuckleheads better, but that's purely aestetics. I have only ridden twin-cams though... But the look of the old board-trackers is just the best! Frame, engine, wheels, seat, handlebars and not much more is needed. Pure riders machine, full of temperament and Joy. Wicked fast and deadly. Just like i want them!

I hope you're health gets better and you ride again. 2 wheel Therapy. Be safe.

I went through a rough time with my health, physically and mentally many years ago. I willed myself to deal with the pain and get back on 2 wheels again. Eventually I could ride for several hours through the mountains near my home in Australia. I credit the riding with my recovery both mentally and physically. Even if you only go out for 15 minutes at a time, it will help you immensely. Hang in there brother, ride you must, it's therapy for the body, mind and soul. 🇦🇺👍

If you can't, then at least get a trike. It really is not that bad to ride one of those. And they make really nice ones these days! Just go and get those handlebars between your fingers, it'll make you seventeen once more. Best of luck to you my Brother! Ride on and be safe.

I had a ‘75 Shovelhead, but the I got married….😢. I miss that bike.

Trouble head

panheads forever

All Harleys sound like agricultural machinery from a bygone era, but that's just part of the charm.

@@stevenjackson4161 amen nerver forget my old shovelhead

All Harley 45 degree engines are really 2 cylinder radials. Same as Prat and Whitney.

I’ve got an old John Deere G, Ducati Desmo L2 and a Shovel. They all sound amazing yet are completely different. ❤

Love my evo, I have a twin cam as well but it doesnt come close to the evo or shovel

I like my Evo, but loved my rubber mounted 5 speed Shovel 10 times more.

Can someone not pop round and help you out? That would be nice...

@@troyhowling2497 If I’m not able to get it fixed myself I can call a mobile motorcycle mech that can come out and get me going again. And it will still be cheaper than taking it down to the Harley dealer. The best therapy for a disabled veteran is wind therapy! They’re is nothing like it. I’d love to get an organized group of disabled veterans together to meet and ride as group. The VA told me to get rid of my Harley and I think you can guess what I told them! I’m an old biker and they can’t take the biker out of me. Just having her sitting in the garage gives me hope! Thanks for the reply!

Bellaaaaaa!!!!

Starves the engine of proper oil pressure.

I have 3 evo. One is a little 1200. Withb1250 kit. Evo is the best . Milwaukee 8 has best power. Pan shovel and nuckel is cool. But.

@@MichaelSmith-lj3fe Nah. Evos are like a kitchen appliance. Yeah, they do the job, but, yawwwn.

Solids with 440 Sifton cam and an S&S B series carb full box of taller gears ad 5.5 Pago tanks ,still kikkin my own ass for sellin her .

Had my 1999 Heritage since new. I put in a Andrews EV27 cam, kept the original CV carb and installed a Thunder Slide kit. Blowing out Vance and Hines Longshots . There's not much out there that sounds better.

@@johngaulding3710 that sounds amazing! Do you have any footage of this beautiful machine?

@@Math4real.Schramm What's funny is I have plenty of pics but no videos. I have never been much on doing either myself. But I could make one.

I have 88 heritage and had a 79 and a 78 1200 shovel. I can't decide. I run single fire dyna . S&S super e and a EV-27 cam with delkrons and Ultima 80 inch wheels and knife blade rods. 1 3/4 shotguns and I good to go. Nice setup for myself for apes !

how about a kawie 900 triple?

My ironhead with drag pipes used to rattle my neighbors windows across the street. Loved the loping idle.

I'm

My youngest son has the same savage

IRONHEADS FKN RULE!!! 🤘😎🤘

My thoughts exactly, I guess it does look cool, badass kinda thing but Im so used to putting me left foot on the primary a lot of times I dont think I could unlearn it.

I'd agree. That romping Shovel, slow rolling canter is a perfect Harley Iron horse sound. Next would be the Evo, Potato Potato Potato tune they put out.

S+S Makes a shovel 8 or 9 grand i

@@johngee4912 you can just buy the bolt on covers if you're on a tight budget, but you might get some head shaking from the die hard bikers lol

I know somebody makes modern Pans and Shovels probably improved and more reliable but there not cheap

​@@davidefland1985 I've seen these replica builds, there are companies that make them brand new, not sure how well they fare like if they could be used everyday or more for show or occasional sunday runs but either way they look the part. I love the Evo engines and of course the reliability but the older Harleys have so much character so ideally I'd love one that looks and sounds something like these old Knuckleheads or panheads but had the modern reliability, preformance and fuel economy of the newer bikes. I suppose the Shovelheads are kind of a compromise of the two in a way, they do need looking after and know how but they have decent pulling power and they look and sound great..
