Here we go, so over the last year or so I've slowly began collecting parts to build my shovelhead chopper. I started with this 68 FLH motor and trans. I've since ditched the magneto and 4 fin s&s cam cover and have stock replacements for that, along with the right heads instead of the S&S ones on it in the picture. As of right now the motors all apart. I'm going to try my hand at polishing the cases myself and then it will be fully rebuilt by Rayco Machine
After finding the motor, I grabbed a pretty decent straight leg frame off of someone off of here whose name I can't remember right now. It's got most everything chopped off of it and had some pretty heavy molding especially on the neck. I expected a horror show under there but upon removing all that bondo I found a beautiful stock neck, with the neck lock still in there to boot!
So paired with that, I picked up a set of American Racing Mag wheels, also from someone on here and a nice adjustable panhead wide glide fork that I threw some 6" over tubes in. Here's where it was sitting before I broke it down to do a little welding then sandblast and get ready for some paint.
