Well the first thing you need to do is get a Factory Service Manual (99482-84) and Part Catalog (99456-84A).
Do not get a Clymer's or some other after market manual. They will not have the detailed information you will need to care for the model you have. Oh, it will have information for oil changes and other such mundane stuff. But if you need in depth information. You will be out of luck.

Well my stock 1984 flhs shovelhead is a shovelhead upper and a shovelhead lower.shovelhead in the middle too..so was the only other !984 flhs shovelhead i ever saw.
I had a guy pull up to me on a 1984 flhs evo.
It was all evo evrything.same year though.. Had a dif/frame /dif everything.
Never saw a stock 1984 flhs shovelhead/ evo combination.
In fact i have the manual and -there isn`t one.
Also i have the harley davidson card for a 1984 flhs shovelhead and it`s all shovelhead.
Do ya think because there is a 1984 flhs shovelhead and a 1984 flhs evolution that that`s causeing some people to think that harley combined engines too?
