| The Shovelhead was an
air-cooled, 45 degree, V-twin motorcycle engine manufactured from 1966 to 1985 by the Harley Davidson Motor Company. It was made in the 1200cc bore and, after 1978, in the 1340cc bore for Harley's Big Twin bikes, replacing the Panhead, until it was replaced by the Evo. The name "Shovelhead" was a continuation of the convention of naming the engines for the shape of the rocker covers at the top of the engine. The Shovelhead has subtlely rounded rocker covers that resemble the shape of a shovel. |
