ORIGINAL: WS6 Formula

I would like to have a Panhead, pretty much like my friends bike below.

NICE! I love the puddle of oil under it. As a Shovel Head owner I know all about leaks. They dont leak, they mark their spot!!

If I had the money I would have one each Knuck and Shovel.

I do like the TC-88 for its reliability though.

Shovels sound the best with drag pipes and are great when running good. I love my evo. very easy to work on.

I am [sm=owned.gif]by a panhead with Dago fishtails. AND a shovelhead with 36" drag pipes with 2 1/2" baffles.
And would dearly love to have gotten one of the 113" knuckleheads from Flathead Power B4 they sold out to S&S last year.
Here's a link, do not like to post the pic here, it is LARGE and requires everyone to scroll back and forth, and I don't like to do that.

Shovels look the best and with drags sound the best IMHO. But for reliability sake, I would take a twinky.
