Linkert Carb - Shovel head bars
I recently kicked the S&S habit and put on a Linkert with a 'Chopper Throttle Adaptor' in order to use my existing set-up and keep riding. Not good! I picked up a set of early Superglide bars with the internal throttle - but of course it is pull instead of push. If I can find a shovel left side spiral, will that be a push type? Does a Pan left side spiral fit the shovel bars. Thanks for any info!

Re: Linkert Carb - Shovel head bars
Shovels didn't have a left. The same spiral was used on both sides from about 53 to at least 68. I don't have my 84 parts book handy, but there may have been a -74 spiral. The part you need is 56220-53 I'd bet.Ripley/Fla wrote: If I can find a shovel left side spiral, will that be a push type? Does a Pan left side spiral fit the shovel bars. Thanks for any info!

Re: Linkert Carb - Shovel head bars
Spirals are the same from left to right. The reason one pushes and one pulls is because they are both twisted towards the rider, making one operate in reverse. The -53 spiral pushes. It is quite common new, used, and repop. Probably a dozen on eBay right now!If I can find a shovel left side spiral, will that be a push type?
