Just wanted to introduce a new bike I have been building for the past few months. Purchased this shovelhead last summer 2021. It was pretty much stock. I did a full topend rebuild and some other changes to the chopper.
Cold Start
Yes Shovelhead is spelled correctly...The font I choose is a little funny with some letters.

I have watched hundreds of chopper and bobber videos. This one is aesthetically P E R F E C T.’ How can two wheels and an engine look so right! Hats off to you man
@@psjasker appreciate the feedback 🤘🏾
I'm gonna have to agree with you man.
Gotta love the sound of a shovel. I own 2, wouldn’t ride anything else. Great looking scoot.
Yessir! This is my first shovel. So been trying to take my time with it. I love.
yea fuck new bikes
@@nicolasbustos9686 Why? They're superior in virtually every way.
@@geneharrogate6911 Yeah, except they have no soul. New bikes seem like a kitchen appliances, functional yes but no soul.
@@christopherhughes8402 Clearly you haven't spent any time on a late model Ducati.
Man that’s the real deal ! Absolutely perfect !
Appreciate the kinds words brother! Thanks for stopping by
I rode my '75 FXE for 24 years before finally upgrading to something a little more modern last year. I bought a Street Glide when I have a fender bunny and a Sportster S for times I just wanna go fast and alone.
Thats awesome man. I'm limited on space so its one toy for me now and days. My last place I had 3 bikes also haha
i'm trying to get my first harley obviously i see the sportys are more cheaper 48 883 1200 and good for beginners i also rly like dyna street bob . what's a good starter bike i could get for about 3,000 ? also i have read 50k miles on a moto is high are you guys just putting new engines in ? thanks
Sportster should do you right
@@RustinRoberts That Sportster S is so fun to ride.
Now that's what I call a chopper. Has all the fundamental goodies to turn those heads.
Amazing, I love the sound. It’s like a pure music. I am looking for one on my age 1972. I really believe that one day I will get what my heart ask for
Anything is for sale at the right price =) haha Go ahead and get you one man! Life it too short to go without having fun.
I was born in 1972 and I have a 72 shovel. They’re out there, but getting harder to find.
Nothing better than a clean all business Shovel.
The old Bike never Die
Well this ones rebuilt =) haha
I need the engine Brother ha ha ,really
Do you have the other ?
I sure do!
Proper. Right side shift, open CHAIN primary, properly fettled shovelhead soundtrack, struts. Well done.
Right on! Thanks!
Shovels don’t shift on the right side and that’s an open BELT primary. But you’re right about it being well done.
This is such a sweet build, love that it still has a split tank on there
Yea man, tried to keep it nice and clean
She’s beautiful man. I’m sure she puts a smile on your face every time you see her
Every time! Just need that warmer weather. NYC is still doing it’s slow transition into spring 😭
Is it the simplicity that we all admire and love in these old bikes? That is a really sweet bike either way.
I feel you man. 🙏🏾
the best and great HD Sound ever- Shovelhead !!!
Thanks 🤙🏾
Best sound ever !! Best look ever ! Great bike man.. hopefully one day I’ll get the chance build one.🤘
ALL DAY!!!👍🦻🏻💨💨😎
Potato potato!!💨💨💨✝️🇺🇸
Oh yeah!
Awesome!
Had a rigid shovel in the early 90’s.
Now at 51 yrs old I ride a 14’ Street Glide
Right on!
Nice bike, looks like a fun build!
I noticed your rear master cylinder. Just a bit of advice, the brake line comes close to the exhaust. You might have some trouble with your brake fluid heating up or not cooling down. If you can find a 45° or a 90° strait out of the body so you can guide the line away from the heat you will have better luck.
Keep up the good work. Shoveleds forever ✌
Thanks man! I actually have another master on the way here that I will have to fab up another bracket to work. This one is updated and has the banjo style fitting on the end =) My current setup hasn't given me any issues. Even on long rides. The stainless steel braided line with the heat wrapped pipe, all that together seems to be keeping the heat to a minimum luckily.
@@archstanton3379 Ill be switching to PM rear caliper soon =)
Bang on! That’s the sound! And low! Wow!
LOVE THAT SHOVELHEAD!!! great work. I like all makes of bikesform around the world, but the shovelhead is like riding a a skeleton bike. You can see all the working parts!!! I hope to get one some day....
Thanks man! I think everyone should by one and give it a ride.
I like the personal touches you've put on this beautiful shovel. Just bitchin'! I've had 3 shovels over the years and I do miss them. Don't sell it or you'll miss yours too.
I lost count on toys I've sold that I miss haha
Where did you get that carburetor filter cover
My 76 fxe will start on the second kick too, when it's warmed up
yea its still a bit chilly over here in NYC
Great work. Nice eye. Not too much chrome with simple details. Runs smooth with traditional clutch rattle. This guy iloves his bike.
Much love! Thanks for the feedback
Sexiest shovelhead I’ve ever seen in terms of style. I wouldn’t have done it any different myself
Glad you like it! Check out some of the other videos when ya can 🫡
Love the bike! I have a 74 shovel and I love that old sound.
Very, very cool man...that unmistakable slap. Love it.
amazing bike , respect from Russia!
Glad you like it!
It's very cool! I am riding the 1979 FXS Lowrider in Japan. I long for American culture.
🇯🇵 🤘🏾
I love the idle. It barely stalls.
Low Idle ftw
That sticker had me cracking up. Most people don't know what that means!
✊🏾
That frontend setup is sweet 👍
Good looking shovel
Appreciate it ✌🏾
Cool Harleys and ford's forever
Love it ,great job!
Thank you!
Cannot argue with that sound!
HNIC HAHAHAHA!
=))
It's intereresting....nice.....great bike.....I want it....
That is one beautiful motorcycle
Awesome bike...even better sound...love it.
Glad you like it!
Bro, I'm a little bit in love with that bike. 😍
Me too 😂
Perfect motorcycle!
Classic!
Nice placement on the oil filter!
awesome sound
It has to be a Shovelhead, but without a shock absorber, it's going to be a tough ride 😉
It was an extremely rough ride. Which is exactly why I sold it haha. Cool ass bike though.
beautiful motorcycle
I love it
In my ♥️ the only REAL Harley is the old school ones 🤘
Yessirrr
Sounds and looks good!
Thank you !
Solid work, congrats 🔥
Thank you!
nice build!
Thanks bud. She is sold and I miss her already. ON to the next one haha
I like your bike man. I'm building a 50 pan alot like that.
Thanks man! Good luck with the build!
Awesome sound
Thanks for listening!
Perfection brother. great video..
Glad you enjoyed it
sueños, solo algunos sueños.
bastante simples.
SWEET JOB "** FULL EFFORT
ALL HEART 😊😊😊😊😊
WHAT WE LIVE FOR **MAN**
Nice bro. Looks clean
🙏🏾
nice Putt putt😎
She a nice bike purrrin
That thang dope bruh!
Thanks Homie!
@@RustinRoberts no doubt. I have to catch up with you sometime. Looking forward to cruising this season.
Man you got my bike
Cool bike. Never got rear strut bars, just makes the bike uncomfortable without the look of an actual hardtail. To each their own.
Frame is in the near future 👍🏾
@@RustinRoberts cool brother.
Awesome sounding shovel, also loving the front end. How does that springer feels on nyc streets (pot holes), what size front tires are you running
Its not too bad but not something I would prefer. Takes a committed rider haha. That was an 18inch springer front in
Nice build man, just got my 74 ripped apart for rebuild,
Not gonna rebuilds itself! Get to it!
That's a good looking bike but you should have kept the shocks on it just got shorter shocks I think they look better than those struts but it's your bike not mine buddy and it's a pretty one
I agree. I wanted to do shocks but I couldn’t achieve the proper stance I was looking for without having the tire rubbing inside the custom fender.
Very nice
That bike looks really good but it also looks really uncomfortable to ride with the pegs up so high
It’s got it’s uncomfortable spots but I don’t ride to make it feel like I’m on a comfy couch 🤷🏽♂️
LOVELY BIKE MAN, WHAT HANDLEBARS ARE THOSE
These are Indian Larry ape hangers
Shovels rule hear no Evo see no Evo own no Evo
Nice!
Bad ass Ty!
Thanks Homie!
Bad ass
Poezja.
niceeeeee
Beautiful bike! Excellent build. Solid work!
Thank you very much!
that's amazing. I'm bein sincere. I really want to get my license.
Go get it dude!
siiiiiiiiiiiiick
Hey, great bike. This might be a bit late, but I was just curious where you got your springer front end from?
Haha never too late man. Appreciate you stopping by. This is 18' springer from MID-USA. I also run this on my softail chopper.
@@RustinRoberts thanks man. Got a 77 fxe that I’ve been locking to put a springer on.
Thing is awesome! Can I ask for an explanation of your rear suspension set up?
Rear end was just a 10" hole to hole solid strut
@@RustinRoberts ah okay so no shock or anything of that nature under the seat or anything? I’m new to the bike world and I’d like to snag one of these eventually.
I did end up putting springs under that seat but I feel like it made it worse
Love this bike, nice work!!
What is the back fender? what size front rim and tire?
Where did you find your air filter cover I really like that. The s&s tear drop is a timeless look but it kills my hip and knee trying to bend around it
That the flat air cleaner is from old-stf.com/
@@RustinRoberts Thanks Bud !
I have a 81 shovel completely modified, before that a 72 88 incher
Nice man. They are great!
I see a chiropractor in your future.
Yea I wont be riding this way forever haha
how is it to ride with the pegs so high?
It’s not bad. I’m on the short side so it isn’t bad for me. I’ve ridden it for almost a full day with normal fatigue I’d feel from riding a dyna
What brake caliper did you use? Is it the stock banana caliper?
At that time yes
@@RustinRoberts I didn't know you could reposition it like that. How'd you do that?
What length is your springer
Awesome sled man keep it up doing good work 👏 🙌 👍 👌
Thank you 🙏🏾 it’s 18”
I was eyeballing that springer as well. Care to share what brand it is? And the size of your front wheel and length of your rear struts? Diggin that stance man. Nice work.
Nvmd. I just saw your answers further down in other reply’s. Thanks for posting the video man. Best of luck with your build.
Thank you!
Nice looking bike was thinking about putting a Springer on my 71 shovel was just wondering what brand yours was see a lot of different ones out there was just curious to see who you went with thanks
I got mine from MidUSA. Good quality American made parts for sure.
Great bike! But idle is dangerously slow, vey bad for the bottom end.
Wil keep that in mind. Thanks for the feedback!
My mom was born in 1973
Shoblehead?
Its Shovel. The font I used makes the V look like a B for some reason =/
Sad thing is this tank covering the beauty of this engine
I actually like the compact look on these bikes but I see what you mean!
💯❤️🔥
👍💪🤘
what size and brand is that portable garage?
This is a 13x13 ft car port by Shelterlogic
@@RustinRoberts thank you!
Are the NY police giving grief to riders yet? I hear the authorities want to put a lid on loud bikes.
So far I haven't had any issues. Usually they dont bother anyone on Harleys. Its the loud cars they are trying to catch and kids on dirty bikes/quads.
They never ride em very far.
I Do my best
What the song please ?
Its the shovelhead song
Music please lol

Esse terremoto devia atingir a Rússia
What size rims?
19 up front and 16 rear
@@RustinRoberts thought so, thanks. I’m trying to find a 19” for my evo fatboy and I’m having a hard time
Why do you have to take a stock antique like a '73 Shovelhead and destroy it like that?
These bikes need to be saved for future generations to enjoy. You're not the owner of this machine, you're only a caretaker. Think about that.
That’s what museums are for. A stock anything is just boring to be and there is a subculture of Harley that needs to be taught also. Cheers 🤘🏾
@@RustinRoberts I think you've missed the point. Future generations of motorcyclists won't be riding those bikes in museums for the same reason today's generations don't fly aircraft found in museum's. It's not possible. That's why they are in museum's. That is why motorcyclists need to preserve these bikes so others can ride and enjoy them.
You can fabricate you own frames and engines and transmissions or buy from someone who does and then modify them to your liking. What you're doing is selfish and thoughtless. Have some respect for the sport and other people.
@@thespiritof76. I guess myself all of us that modify/fab our own bikes are selfish then.
@@RustinRoberts You said it. Don't forget selfish,arrogant,untalented and careless.
Is it for sale?
Nothing is never not for sale haha. Money talks and I like money haha
@@RustinRoberts how much you thinking,I have to pay to have it shipped.
@@rickwilson2398 I'd let her go for $14k
what’s size springer look cool bro 😎
18” 🤘🏾
Amazing bike man. Can’t wait to see some more ride videos on it
Appreciate the feedback! Thanks
