The ever elusive Pan-Shovel

Wondering why these aren't used more often

You can buy brand new re-engineered motors now.
Sure helps if you have a burnt out old motor in a nice old school bike.
Alot of custom builders like to use them too.

Nice engines but really expensive! between 8-14000 dollars each for a panhead.
I guess its worth it for a one of a kind show bike.

that's a shovel, not a pan
Most people use Evo engines as they are half the price.

Knuckleheads are even cooler

It's a Shovel top end on a Pan bottom, hence the monicker, Pan-Shovel.

This is all Shovelhead.

Perhaps, but they're boring and common.

I was expecting someone to post a pic of a shovel/pan with one head of each.

I'm working on converting a knuckle to 12V right now.

Actual working headlights are a good thing

there are slab side or "genny bottom" shovels that look the same. doesnt mean its a pan-shovel just cause it has a slab side
look here for the shovel history http://shovelhead.us/history/
