The panhead was my first bike but I like the shovelhead too.

Back in the day, the Pan/Shovel combination seemed to be the thing...

shovel for me

I like the generator shovel myself

Late model Panhead is my choice.

This answer your question ? Runs as hard as the TC 103's and I've had it 30 yrs and counting :D

I like the look of the Knuck's too, but over-all I think that a well maintained evo would give you less problem(s) than the aforementioned,(pretty much bullet proof) and was the motor that saved the moco, but that's just my opinion. Most of them are still on the road too. The models before the evo were way too finicky and were way too high of maintenance, but that's just my opinion.

Love the looks of all of them,but I would have to pick the shovel as my favorite.

Yep. S&S makes versions of the knucklehead, pan and shovel using today's technology in manufacturing. Motors come in different displacements depending on what you're looking for and willing to spend.

S&S makes some nize ones and very $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
