I believe the majority of 1984 FL, FLH, FLHS, FLT parts are
interchangeable,  Harley tried to sqeeze alot of extras and funky
combos out the door before changing to the Evo motor, in fact most of
the bolt on parts range from 70-84.

I believe our lawyer has ok'd our Shovelrider "T" shirt design, as
long as we print the following disclaimer on the shirts.

"Logo is three seperate shapes containing text and should not be
confused with any other group or company"

The first run of shirts will be run for Orange County California.

If you have enough interest in your local county, you may order your
own shirts thru me (minimum of two dozen).

Open To All SHOVELRIDERS

Phase 1. Shovelriders unite

Phase 2. Open Shovelrider shop/shops for club members

Phase 3. Annual Ride

Phase 4. Become a respected presence in MC community

EZG

Glad to have you,
If you have enough riders interested up north you can add a county
chapter.

In the beginning its all about a membership drive that we can all
benifit from.

Ride Safe

I own two old shovels. One is a fully customed out 84 fxr and the
other is a 66 shovel Sportster on a hard tail frame.  I am in the
process of chopping it out.  Wish I could make one of the meetings.
How about I bring this group to Houston, Texas?  Anyone object???
Would love to have a satellite branch of your club here for those of
us die hards.

I ride a 1970 stock Electraglide and have had about every problem you
could imagine and it seems to me that if you want a reliable motor
you should stay as close to stock as possible on your original Harley
motor.

If you want power and speed then the new version of shovel motors are
better all around.  They oil better, leak less, more horse power, and
come with a warranty.  Downfall is more money.

Ride Safe,
EZG

Enjoy your site and am glad to see one for shovels.  Don't live in
Cali; live in Florida.  Hope this club takes off so we can get a
chapter out here because I know a few shovel riders out here.

For your info, my baby was a '69 but is now a 2003 custom, complete
overhaul.  Started her in 1993 in Tempe, Arizona.  She now has a 93"
motor.  Kept the heads, rocker boxes and frame.  Feel free to look at
my pics of her in the photo album.  I've done some of the work myself
and had some help from friends.

Hello,

I ride a slightly customized '80 FXS. What I would like to find are
some of the original tank decals, you know, with the AMF still on them.
Would you happen to have any of those laying about? Also, do you have
any kind of list or price sheet of the stuff you have available?

Thanks,

Loyal
'80 FXS-80

We are cosidering changing the monthly meeting/breakfast/ride before

first Saturday of every month.  Same time and place 10:00am Lakeview

I have for sale, several sets of Shovelhead Rocker Boxes.  Some
complete, and some bare. Also, some really nice Shovel Cylinder
Heads. E-Mail for photos.

serviceable parts shipped UPS daily.  Please call on me for your
parts needs.  Thanks

From March 2002 thru March 2003 there were only three members in this
club.  Actively seeking members was not a priority.  This April and
May we have gained seven new members and I have been passing out
Shovelriders M.C. cards at local events.

I believe it is time to seek new members to make this club benefit
ALL of us.

At the Memorial Day ride in Riverside CA. I spoke with several
Shovelriders who were very interested in the ideals and intent of
this club.

John Acosta AKA EZG

Welcome Shovelriders! If you know any Southern CA Shovelriders send
them this way, the first order of club business is to actually have
members that ride together once a month.

I will give this project til May of 05 to gather momentum.  If it
survives, we will seek out riders and new chapters where ever there
is enough interest.  If it fails, hey we all still have our Shovels.

I have seen other shovel clubs fail or fade into nothing, perhaps it
was due to lack of funding or planning.
