$10 shovel update

As you know i pulled the motor for look.So after removing topend and then splitting the cases.The good news is that the previous owner stock it full of great s&s parts.First thing i noticed is the heavy spring collars.Then the s&s pistons and cylinders which miked out to 3 5/8 bore which was good that the bores still had the cross hatch showing.Leading down to the s&s 495 cam which also looked in good shape.So i figuered i'm this far and the cases have already been polished but needed to be redone i figured what the hell and split the cases.To which revealed the s&s 4 1/2 stroker wheels with heavy duty rods.Which brings me to the best part after doing the math i now the proud owner of a 93'' stroker.Needless to say all of this just saved me about 2500.00 bucks.Hey not like i was bumming it was supposed to be 74''.Hell i'm just happy to finally owning a shovel.I know most people dream of pans,knuckles but for me it was always the untrustworthy shovelhead.

This was done the shop to check timing.The bike is 90% original still has the dealers sticker on the oil tank from where it was sold new.the hack is a repop and the paint has been redone with factory graphics and color.All an all pretty sweet unit.

project 10 dollar shovel

So i have begun working on the shovel this weekend.Started by stripping it down and looking over what needs to be addresed.First removed nacelle and found both front fork tubes were loose for some time.The swing arm bearings are shot and it needs totally rewired.Since i'm gonna redo the entire bike into something i'll enjoy and the fact this bike has been sitting for at least ten years non eof this suprises me.So i figured the first place to strat was the motor.Saturday i went to the shop and pulled it.As i was doing this i found that the inner primary bearing was on the verge of exploding so i'm pretty happy i did'nt try to take for a ride before this.Starting monday i'm concentrating on tearing down the top end to check everything out and refresh the mill.here's some pics more to come at end of the week.
