bull *****, Shovelheads are as good as any other bike of the time. My 1980 74" had front and rear disc brakes, electronic ignition, a factory oil cooler, got 50 mpg on unleaded and factory bags, everything bolted together with Allen heads or Stainless nut's and bolts. The Japanese were still using points and rear drums, pot metal nuts and bolts and phillips head screws, The first Goldwings didn't even have factory bags.
How many early '80's Japanese bikes are still on the road? how much are they worth? Shovelheads are worth more now than when they were new.l
