So going to load picture of what I was told is a 66 FL shovelhead . The vin starts with a M.
What are your thoughts on worth and reliability ..

Thanks

 

Not starting with No "M" it ain't..
VIN should be on the Engine case and be "66FLXXXX"
If VIN on Frame [Likley] it is an Assembled Title... which is Not an H-D....

 

Well that thing has had the crap modified out of it. The only thing that looks to be stock is the magneto and right side cover. I have no idea of it's worth or reliability but I have a feeling that the only person who should buy something like that is the guy who already knows.

It sure is sexy though.

Thanks guys, That's what I was thinking also.. It could be a headache ,but I sure like how it looks though..

Yeah and that M vin I didn't think was original from what I could find.

 

not much value there, assembled vin, no correct parts, but its cool. get it cheap and ride the hell out of it

 

Heads-Up... I see an E-Starter on there... and some very short shocks... Guaranteed the Chain is eating into the Starter Housing.... Gonna give ya Problems... Tho Some think Low is = to Cool... If the chain don't have a "Run" it is just a Show Piece...

 

hey carl that is a distributor and an aftermarket one at that not a mag

 

Here is a picture of the left side.. And thanks for all the replies.

 

Which is not a huge issue if running a belt drive primary.

That is a sweet looking bike...doesn't look like the builder took any shortcuts..


That depends...IF the motor has Harley cases...still has the VIN, AND you could get a title for it...the motor alone would worth more than a cone shovel bike...and even if none of that is true, just having a generator shovel in it will bring more money...my guess is "get it cheap" ain't going to happen.

 

I like the seat in the first pic better.
I thought it was a different bike at first.
