Enjoy - not much sweeter than a smooth Shovel - well maybe a smooth Pan. Looks like you have good times ahead

It's in my garage now and the bike runs and sounds fantastic. I really can't find anything wrong with the bike so far.

What's the title say , is it a 74 shovelhead or registered as a special construction ? I'm asking because the Id numbers in the ad didn't sound right, says S&S lower end and it mentions a blue tag on the frame all of which would have different numbers . Florida is pretty lax about that **** and that one is definitely a swap meet special but a well done one.

The bike has always been titled as a 74, all #'s match on title and frame. I don't care if it's a swap meet special or not I love the bike.

Oh don't get me wrong all my sleds have been swap specials and that one was done well somebody put some time & effort into it. Good to hear the number match I've seen some nightmares over that.
