Re: Shovels
Well I'm new to the Harley scene and wanted to come here to introduce myself and get some much needed help. I'm Justin Winstead, originally from Texas but I've been in the Army for just over 11 years so I'm from all over now. About 2 days after I got back from Iraq my father passed away and left me his '52 CPT. America replica. The title says it's a '52 but from what I know the original CPT America was a Pan-Head but I believe I have a Shovel-Head...(again, I'm new!) and I've been told that they didn't make Shovel-Heads back then, so to be honest with you I have no idea what I have!! It needs a little TLC but I'm up for the challenge as long as some of you guys can help me out as far as explaining things to me and I'm open to any suggestions. I've uploaded several pictures of it on my profile so feel free to check them out and email me some knowledge...just keep in mind that I'm a greenhorn here so you'll have to dumb it down for me! Well, I guess thats about it for now, I have too many questions to put in here and I don't want to use up all your paitence right off the bat. Take care

Re: Shovels
Hi all, I'm new here. Hope i can contribute. I've experience with custom fabrication and building. Been fooling around with bikes for about 20 years and fiddling with HD's for about 10, on and off. Hoping to pick your collective brains for shovel info. I ride a creative but practical custom '79 1340 FXLR. I'm quite sure most of you guys would hate it. I have a 'if it don't work, it goes in the bin' policy to Harley parts, hence the 'creative' tag

Re: Shovels
yap I have been riding the same shovel for 25 plus years and have almost 300,000 miles on it and have redid it about 4 different configurations "bagger, chopper, hot rod and now back finally to the original FXWG "except someone stole my Commemorative 1982 Medallion off of the front fender at bike week a few years back and I have not been able to find a replacement, so with that little tid bit always remember this Harley Davidson Shovel head - making mechanics out of bikers since 1966 and I am proud to say ( edit) glad to admit it!

Re: Shovels
Yup, I'm new here. Just bought an 83 FXRS. Love my shovel, specifically wanted a shovel, and I searched long and hard for it, got exactly the bike that I was looking for. Having a blast tinkering with it and sorting it out, just finished converting it to a CV carb, with the help of all of the information that I have gathered from researching this forum, all of you guys rock. Great forum. Still getting the CV tuned but almost perfect. The difference that the CV carb has made in the way my shovel runs is unbelievable compared to how it ran with the old butterfly Keihin.

Re: Shovels
The CV is a big improvement over the older Keihin carbs and it's a hard carb to beat for functionality.
