$3500 Shovel on her best day all cleaned up and starting properly. You know what your guns are worth, trade him $3k worth of guns and start some Shovel love.

Thanks for compliments on the Ironhead and the thoughts on the Shovel. The more I look at the green bike the more I see dollar signs to take it back close to stock. I might pass.

Depends on the green. Tried to match as close as I could factory color from 60’s-70’s. I get a lot of compliments on the color and she certainly isn’t bad luck. Runs like a dream.
