Nice Shovel! I have one as well that looks just like yours, except I'm running a 21 inch white wall on the front, have the same tin (Road glide front-end) and have 16" ape hangers. Other than that same color same everything. Nothing like a Shovel man!!
If ya mod the rear fender behind the batt box, you can use a FXE battery box and battery thus allowing you to run Super Glide style drag pipes of different styles. . I did it to my EG and used Paughco shotgun drags. Before that I had the set up you are running.
@@robertvanleeuwen6819 see if this link works OK....... [img]i.imgur.com/oYTcRE3.jpg[/img] The bracket holding the rear shotgun dragpipe was made out of a 1968 Ford Galaxie 500 (ex NC SBI car LOL) lower (driver's side)front brace rod for the lower control arm of the front suspension. I had 25 hours torch, vice and big fn hammer time making it to that shape to fit and hold the rear pipe. You could pick up the rear wheel off the ground by the pipe if you held right where the bracket was...and nothing flexed. Solid as a rock mounting . The rear pipe never, ever came loose or needed attention. I made the front pipe brace too. This bike was a 1976 full dresser when I bought it used for 1200.00 with 12000 miles on the odo. Photo is from 1993 Myrtle Beach rally IIRC.
S&S does not make a 103 shovel motor. In fact 103 inch is too much for shovelheads unless serious top end redesign is done with valve angle. A guy in Canada does this and has a video on youtube of a shovelhead he built that way and is 128". If you like the sound of shovels this one will leave drooling. The S&S you see is the carb filter cover and an S&S "E" carb is the only way to go on a shovel. here's a link to 128 inch. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Me40j59H3C4.html don't bother with an android phone , a PC connected to a real sound system will reveal the massive output which is akin to nitro fueled dragster.
