Of course, tastes are different and that’s exactly what makes a bike. With passion and smeared fingers, the dusty piece is reanimated and brought to life by some glamorous touch. Glamorous enough to be shot in a motorcycle magazine a good 50 years after the birth of the Shovelhead engine.
In our rebuild we start in the heart of the Shovel engine! 1966 was the year of birth of the Shovelhead engine, a revised only in the area of the cylinder head and valve train Panhead engine.
This time it reminded imaginative spectators of the underside of a typical American coal shovel. During the construction period of this engine, a distinction is made essentially between the so-called “Early Shovel” (early Shovel) with displacement of 1,200 cm (recognizable by the kidney-shaped right engine case, the timer sitting on the camshaft housing and the generator sitting in front of the crankcase) and from 1969 / ’70 delivered “Late Shovel” (Later Shovel, generator behind the prime mover) with 1,207 cc displacement.

The Shovelhead Harley-Davidson engine got its name from the shovel shape of the upper rocker box covers and was built from 1966 to 1984. It replaced the Panhead and was later replaced by the Evolution Big Twin. Since ’78 the engines have been divided into “Early” and “Late”, where the cubic capacity increased from 1200 to 1340 ccm.
