my Blue ironhead and my buddys' yellow one. Pics from a couple years ago. I bought mine for 1000$ back in 2010. Cut it in half the night i brought it home. Weld on hardtail and many hours and engine/ trans. dollars later. Had alot of fun on that bike , a good friend mentioned buying it from me one too many times and i sold it last spring. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry .
The hard tails look bad ass as it gets , but they are young man’s rides . Years ago , hard tail , hand jammer and kicker were the answer for me . Now it’s a swingarm and a kicker , very rare on a hand jammer . My 75 has a pogo seat , 84 has frame mounted seat and it’s tough . Be safe my friend
Be careful with oil cooler mounting , you will end up with famous fender crease if not careful . Look back at a previous post of my Shovel , you can notice there is a small triangular bracket that raises the cooler up to prevent it from contacting the fender .
