      If I had to get a Iron head HD that was best for ease of operations, maintenance, and just good ol dependability, it would be a shovel... I love the prestige of Pan heads and Knuckle heads and even flatties, but a shovel is most dependable, in the iron head realm

    Owned a 77 FLH for 20 years. Loved that stump pulling torque! Life took over and I said goodbye to biking until 2004 When I bought a new FLHT Twin Cam. Still have and it’s been a great bike. Due to health I haven’t ridden in a year and a half , but hope to this spring. As nice as it is I still miss the feeling of hitting a hill in 4th and just feeling the hand of God push me up the hill.

      I went through a rough time with my health, physically and mentally many years ago. I willed myself to deal with the pain and get back on 2 wheels again. Eventually I could ride for several hours through the mountains near my home in Australia. I credit the riding with my recovery both mentally and physically. Even if you only go out for 15 minutes at a time, it will help you immensely. Hang in there brother, ride you must, it's therapy for the body, mind and soul. 🇦🇺👍

    I started riding HD in 1981, still riding now. These bikes all sounded great but nothing beats the confidence of riding the Twin Cam engine and knowing I will get home without my gear shif lever, exhaust pipes or something else shaking off the bike. That said I'm off for a ride. With my luck I probably have a breakdown now that I've talked smack.

None of this modern, fancy, "Twin-Cam" stuff; a hyper-expensive, over-complicated mix of whirring camshafts, chains, and gears! Simple "bottom-ends" rule!....A wonderful sound...just make sure that the oil pressure is sufficient at very low revs!...LOL...! Take care, all!.... 😀....😀....!

    Shovel heads just have that pure Harley sound. For me it's a tie between the shovel and Evo, as I grew up around them both. Also something about odd firing twins that I like, considering my favorite antique tractors are the two-cylinder john Deere's. Rather it's cyl-1, 180°, cyl-2, 540° repeat so it's a little more poppy than a harley

      Had my 1999 Heritage since new. I put in a Andrews EV27 cam, kept the original CV carb and installed a Thunder Slide kit. Blowing out Vance and Hines Longshots . There's not much out there that sounds better.

    The blue sportster tank springer's short pipes seem to my ears and chest the more compelling. Makes me wonder if it's because the exiting sound is closest to the origin, the engine. Anyway, love them all~
