Still... I would like to see some Iron Heads in the shovel configuration... Those who really know... know that Nothing sounds like an all iron Harley... be it Sporty or Knuck even... easy to make an Evo sound even better than a Shovel... put Iron cylinders on it... Got some right hear and I can prove that!! But. here we go Racing again!!!!!

nothing in the world I ever heard sounded like Pete Hills knucklehead Top fueler back in the day - he has many films on the tube but a lap top speakers cant handle the sound as they stop working when he bips the throttle
we had over the years end up being parked next to him - hated it like to make you jump when he hit it - everyone went to the fences when it went down the track

really dont care what they do now or in the future - eddie knight from jersey had a 2 engine iron head fueler raced at Englishtown many times held the record for a time
that's the sound I want to remember not the fake **** they race today like pro stock
and V&H cheated everyone back in the day - but the jersey boys knew what they were doing and like jersey boys let them its not our business
hydrogen propylene was what they used in the fuel is what was said don't know for sure -- But after a race they never went to get him at the end of the track like we all did
as it need time to evaporate so it did not show up in the fuel check -- pro classes got plenty of time between round not like us who were round robin - so it played into the scam
