Congrats.... I hope you don't change it from the current Blue metalic if that's correct but it is very sweet.. I also like the addition of the buck horns... Is that the first year of the belt drive and are your tubes 2" over?
That still has a 4 speed?

No they had belts on the 84 shovel FXWG, and maybe earlier.
Yes, it's the original 4 speed.
Stock length fork tubes on it now. Previously I had 2" under tubes. I reinstalled the factory original tubes. Had them tucked away.

Great looking bike. Love the early solid mounted fxwg fxsb and fxef.
When I was in the market to upgrade from an Ironhead sportster to a big twin it was between an 84' FXSB Shovelhead and an 85' FXSB Evo (used market). It was a tough decision but I ended up with the Shovelhead. It's been a great bike and I'm sure I'd been just as happy with the Evo.
Next bike WILL be an Evo though.
