Shovelheads?.....!!!...

[rockher_man]

Had my trike stolen last August.....less than
75-feet from where we were sleeping...the fork
locked, NO battery.....had a new one inside for
Fri. morning install.

Woke up, opened blinds, gone.
2001 FLTHCI with Frankenstein conversion.

So.....been searching since then with NO luck.
Don't want a new one.......$$$...


One question.....

Where are the SHOVELHEAD Trikes?!?

Only a few Shovels to be found with 2-wheels!

Just a drag..

Short answer - there never really were any, except for a few custom builds.

Harley made the Servi Car starting in 1932, and from 1937 until the end of production in 1973 they used the same 45" Flathead engine. (Harley's longest production engine - 34 years with virtually no change)
From the 70's and earlier until the late 80's and early 90's most trikes were home built or factory made (think Stires, Trike Shop, etc) mostly based on VW engines. The first conversions were for the most part Goldwing based, and by the time the kit makers got enough interest to make HD conversions profitable the Shovelhead was long gone. Even now the choices of conversions for Evo's, especially pre-'94 are hard to find.
