Hi there, this is my mate David '81 Shovel.

Engine and box are rebuild within stock specs,
but using Andrews cams and 9,5:1 JE pistons.

The chassi was made by him,
just like the gas and oil tank.

Foot controls are modified dyna glide ones
and custom selector done by him.

The fork as 4" drop
'95 Tube
2004 Lower legs
Progressive springs
Ts Fatboy '98

'96 Fat boy wheels worked on

Float 13" front disc
8 piston Spielger calipers

etc, etc...

...hope you like it.

All comments are welcome.
