S&S crate motor probably 93", dunno about the pipes and what they did to the heads, that's some hinky **** there.. Price is right the motor alone is worth it.

My .02 cents, that is a hodge podge mess of a bike that I might decline if offered to me for free, except to part it out. If you want/need a Shovel in your life, there are many better places to start. Just my opinion.

yeah I know but had to do something wanted a brand new shovel
and it was a choice between ultima and S&S with two year warranty
so I chose S&S cost a small fortune but runs very well,
I bet you bolt that engine in your frame you'll never take it out,
the only thing that will be sold for parts is that flattie, just my opinion

With that S&S motor and straight pipes, there are a lot of ponies just being wasted and going out the exhaust. Wiring that is visible looks like a spider's web. That is someting that definitely needs immediate attention.
