1981 Harley Davidson FLH Shovelhead

Just purchased this, has not been started in 2 years, seller said not sure if it runs, I flushed the fuel, changed a broken fuel line, put in a good Battery and it runs, I love the sound of Shovelheads, will give you an update when I take it for a ride.

Shovels have a hemi combustion chamber; hence, the rich, robust, throaty sound.

Single pin crankshaft

[@stillbill6408]

@@justinjones9042 Yes; however, A Knuckle, Pan and Shovel head all share a hemispherical combustion chamber. The later Evolution, Twin Cam and M4's do not though they all share the same common crank pin design. The Hemi chamber is what makes the early Harley's sound (in my opinion) so much better.

80” Shovel - in my opinion , The Motor Company’s best effort . I owned (6) shovels . (3) 74” and (3) 80” . I enjoyed them all ; I just felt that the engines started easier and gave me better service that were the 80” ones .
Thanks for sharing .

Hey man! I was bidding on that bike 😂. I was the second highest bitter at 5900. The first time it was auction and I guess the person did not perform because it came back on. I think it went for about 62? I liked it but did not really need it so I’m glad you got it and I hope you enjoy it.

If it's got 20,000 mi on a shovelhead it's time to rebuild the motor

[@stormking57]

Just the top end.

[@dump_gas_go_fast]

I have done 50k plus on my old shovel years ago and I rode that bike hard

[@userer4579]

Wow, a motorcycle made for dwarves. That's pretty thoughtful.
