Thought I'd show my husband's shovelhead he built. Ready for a show!

[texback]

Nice build. Good luck in the shows.

[Madhatterxlch]

Pretty sweet.

Pretty cool build but just out of curiosity, how do you get around right hand corners?

[Fredo]

I don't see a kick stand so I'm guessing air ride, up when riding

[benlilly1]

Yes, Air ride. My husband made the frame, gas tank, oil tank, back fender, pipes, front end, handle bars etc... of course seat made by me. The motor practically was the only thing not custom made by him. This photo has a couple things missing when I took it. It also has hidden tail lights.

That is a lot of frabrication, nice work. I'll look for it if ti ever makes the Calif shows

"Ready for show"

I'll say. That bike is a show stopper. Very very cool. Does he have the build documented on the web? I would like to have a closer look at some of those details like the primary and forward control set-up.

Thanks all for the comments

Petersenj20, He just won Indiana Bike Week best of show. It will be photographed for Easy Rider in August after Sturgis. Some of the build is documented on his website but down to the end not much posted due to finishing it up. I do have photos though on my computer.

I was asked if it had air ride and I mistakenly said yes but it's hydraulic instead. The forward controls are from Excell Componets.

Congratulations on the win! It's well deserved.

As a guy that collects Old bikes.. He has a lot of time in to that build.. and he is very talented.. This is a picture of my 73 Shovel a little bit of a change ..

Nice Shovel, Itch! Did you do all the leather for it or is this original?
