If you type "shovelheads with magnetos and kick starts" into Google and click images, you will find pics. If you click on videos, you'll get videos.

Technology is amazing!

I saw you had an 80's shovwel. Im in desperate need of a good pic showing the brake line routing from the banana caliper on the rear to the rear master cylinder. if you could help me out it would be much appreciated. mines an 82 FX, itll be the same as yours.

this is my 78 Shovelhead, with Morris rare earth magnet Magneto on a burkheart cone (sadly a repop by V-Twin, needed a LOT of work to fit and work, had i known it was by tiawanted i would have avoided it, but got it good in he end)
i have a cable advancce /retard lever on the bars from an old Brit bike, with a Nitrogen filled strut to ai retarding when the levers pulled back at idle,
works great
