This is me and my 1968 Shovelhead, back around 1980. before hitting a car and destroying everything except the engine, transmission, rear wheel, and seat.
Rebuilt it in a donated swing arm frame, and added electric start stuff at that time, and still have that rig up and running today....

Re: Before The Wreck
Dual disc front end in 1980. Pretty progressive for a chopper. Is that a triumph fender?RooDog wrote: ↑Tue Sep 13, 2022 2:58 pm This is me and my 1968 Shovelhead, back around 1980. before hitting a car and destroying everything except the engine, transmission, rear wheel, and seat.

Re: Before The Wreck
Yes, pretty progressive if you liked to stop as well as go, glad to see them on there. Here are dual discs on my Shovel stroker in '75, a Honda 750 fork with an H-D Sprint fender.
