Description:
In the 70s, Harley-Davidson was in crisis, like many companies in the USA... And if it weren't for the general situation, maybe the history of the Shovelhead motors would be more fun. But what it was. The main thing is Harley survived!<br>
By 1966, due to the heaviness of motorcycles equipped with an electric starter and rear suspension, the need for a more powerful engine was ripe. This was the Shovelhead 74 - V-twin with a 45-degree cylinder collapse of 1208 cc, produced until 1983. It was 10% more powerful than Panhead, which was replaced. The advent of Shovelhead in the first years increased sales of H-D motorcycles by 26% to 36,310 units per year.<br>
The name Shovelhead - "spade-headed" - traditionally came from the shape of the valve cover, which at this motor resembled an inverted shovel, which at that time was loaded with coal.
