@@hardtailsuicidaljockey6827 I thought twin cams were oil hungry not shovels. Both my shovel heads were tuned by me all the time to get the Rhythm and it was way slow. That was in the 70s. In the 90 and 2000s I was a extended warranty and Harley was one of my customers. I say (1) engine failure do to low oil and it was on a police bike the lived most of it's time idling and on Radar traffic duty. I say alot more bearing failures on R-1S.
@@60viking I'm an evo guy to me that's the most reliable engine they made . I had pans on up but for trouble free and reliability evo is the way to go if you treat them right . I have a twincam Electraglide and I hate it I think that motor sucks.

watch those damned sneakers though.....some years ago I wore the same kind...gotr sideswiped by a car, at night, with his lights out....guy came out of an alley and turned onto my path hitting my right leg with the side of his door....the brake pedal punched a 2" hole to the bone in my lower calf. The bike does sound awesome...
Sneakers are a styling thing. I prefer my feet intact and usually wear combat boots with steel shanks when riding my kickstart bikes. Neither would have saved your calf but you could always go with motocross boots. They actually work as road armor and of course don't melt like sneakers.
I'm getting ready to stroke my Shovel out as well. What Cam grind (lift and duration and Center lobe) are you using for that stroker motor? BTW don't you think your idel is just a bit low? Low oil pressure on engine is No Bueno! (Good)
how did you end up at 85 ci? 4 5/8" stroke with .060 shaved heads? or 4 1/2" stroke with bored cylinders? 4 5/8 stroke with shaved heads and stock bore setup is what I have planned but i thought it came out to just under 86 ci. I will also have about 9 3/4:1 compression. Have you dyno'ed the motor? if so what hp and torque numbers did you get?
4 1/2 stroke + cylinders bored .020 over... brings it to about 84ci - 85ci there abouts... Didn't bother having it dyno'ed... she's running sweet & that's good enough for me... only bike I've dyno'ed is my other bike... '07 twin cam dyna wide glide...
I have a 76 with the same gear whine. I'm running a belt drive 8mm inner primary and an Andrews cam. I hear the same engine whirr/whine in your bike as mine. Are you running a belt drive and when you changed the cam gearing out did you purchase a matching set of timing gears? The newer bikes, Evo's and Twin Cams will never have this sound......Shovelheads Forever.
I've had Shovels (currently '78 and '82 Low Riders) and Evos for many years and miles. The cams physically interchange though of course grinds are different. Converting to Evo tappets is a pretty common mod and that doesn't change the sound either. Most of the Shovel sound is exhaust. I never met anyone who gave a shit about matched gears but no doubt some folks sperg about that stuff. Much love for my Shovels but the only good part is the engine (and those need top end jobs more often due to not shedding heat very well). The stock starter design is horrible, later five speeds are far superior transmissions, and while the frames LOOK beautiful they ride like a church pew.
I love to see all that awsome old Iron getting the appreciation and love that they deserve!!! There is nothing like the style, ride or the sound of an old Shovelhead!!

Your choice man, but after building many stroked Shoves (some S&S crates) I'd trash the carb and go with a flat slide or even CV (NO SU!). Yeah I know but it's what works best. Just sayin. 30 year builder here
Now that's the sound of a real man's Harley .me I ride a 1982 FXS lowrider. Shovel,s for ever
What a beautiful sound,I could listen to it all day long.
I’ve had mine since 1982 bought brand new added s&s super b, drag pipes stripped her down. Sounds like a horse trotting. Shovel heads forever
Me too
Shovels have the best rhythm.
Not when the idle is that low not good at all for the engine. ....

this is one of the most badass shovelheads I have ever seen
Nice ,,,,,,,
Yeah this is my go to video when I start getting the urge for a loping pan head or shovel head. Could listen to it all day
Good sounding Shovelhead!
Love that super low idle. Sounds great.
Idle sounds like a Tennessee walking horse that knows what's up.
I own 2 Sportsbikes, 2 cafe racers ... and this seals me DEFINITELY getting a Harley, being the waste of money & performance it is n'all !!! 💖💕
completely in love with that engine bro
Sounds like a beast!
Such a rhythmic idle love this sound
1982 1000 sporty chopped, bored stroked, custom saddle tanks, highway pegs, quad headlights, o-ring roller final drive chain.
I dig those white walls
Sounds Great, Brother---- I have an 88 cu.in. shovel (TourGlide) in my shed, runs every day I can run it.
the sound of the bike.. super cool
Nice frame sound
That thing sounds badass
I would love to own one, love the sound.
Love this bike looks beautiful bet you it goes stops and handles well. Sounds awesome!
I love the low speed lope but but he factory always wanted a higher RPM
The fucking noise.... wonderful!!!!
nice sound man, nice sound and good vibrations
I bet your neighbors just love you lmao
Omg amazing sound
slick machine ya got there man.

Thanks for the info brother. I’ll be building my flh with a similar component list.
sick bike
I learned the hard way why the old bikers all wore boots. If that thing backfires while you are kicking it over you are going to limp for a week.
nice Bike.nice Sound. .
shovelhead life
Clean build
nothing sounds like a shovel =]
Sounds sweeeet!
Raise the idle a little. You don't want to drop the revs.. You'll lose oil pressure.
Truth. I never let my bikes old or new idle for long or at very low RPM. That roller bearing bottom end needs all the oil it can get.
I don't think new bikes like it but a shovel can idle slow.
I ride a Pan but no other HD made has the sound that a Shovel does.
sweet . no fan of slow mo idle though ,,,
Hermosa Moto !
Giddy up....
It's running rich
Does it move?
Picking a tune 😃
It's a Shovelhead with an S&S carb. Mine won't idle at cold nor when hot. narrow band when warming. They just love fuel and 6000rpm.
Bruce Miller mine idles perfect, whit an s&s super e
it sounds sooooo goooodddddddd
watch those damned sneakers though.....some years ago I wore the same kind...gotr sideswiped by a car, at night, with his lights out....guy came out of an alley and turned onto my path hitting my right leg with the side of his door....the brake pedal punched a 2" hole to the bone in my lower calf.

Well, I was 16 then...ever since then I wear heavy leather engineer boots all the time.
it idles so very cool. i have a Similar Engine setup with s&s super e. it idles Not so perfect. Can you tell me the carb setting and jetting you use?
Badass..Stsarts easy with that Dyna 2000i! I have same ignition..what compression Pistons are you running?
I'm getting ready to stroke my Shovel out as well. What Cam grind (lift and duration and Center lobe) are you using for that stroker motor? BTW don't you think your idel is just a bit low? Low oil pressure on engine is No Bueno! (Good)
Cool. Can i smell on exhaust
OK, maybe I'm crazy, but is this the bike that inspired AC/DC's too hot for teacher song? I searched the googles, and I didn't see much.
BeeUUUUTiful!!!
Beautiful bike brother. Sounds phenomenal on the Dre beats headphones i'm wearing right now, lol. Feels like i'm standing right next to the bike.

Crank it up!
Noise pollution. Love it

SOUUUUUUND i LOVE THAT

Ooh.... not good using your left leg... if it kicks back you're in big trouble...
Need better octagon gas got a skip. Should be a steady thump. After thump.
That's not how that works lol
You should never kick start a bike with that leg
Dumb ass rookie !

Are the drag pipes 2" or 1/34" in size and what brand are they purchased from.
they're 1 & 3/4" drag specialties with slip on baffles... changed them now though... now i'm running tapered turbos from H.D Development

I always think its brave to kick-start a bike with soft shoes on. 🤔🤔👟👟. Nice build though, sounds awesome 😁
never seen anyone kick with left leg...lol
👍
Love that sound!!!! Awsome!!
