Here is my next project its a FLH SHOVELHEAD frame with a evo in it , ive set it up in a jig and cut the seat post and rear down tubes its all done right with correct size tubes and puddle welded  slugs i added 1 1/4http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a468/fianog/shovel-evo2.jpg inches to the seat post area

trying to post pics and texts with out the mistakes

yeah i see mate thats cool sorta looks like my frame, i see the later model tank mount for post 84 bikes ,on my frame the front head gets close to the frame as you mentioned the seat post needs to be modifed a tad doing more work on the frame today

got the frame  painted ,rebuilt engine is fitted as is the frontend im putting on a polished nacelle and using a spoked 16in front rim, you can see my trans its a 5 speed into 4 speed case just got some parts in last week   trans plate  trans parts etc etc should be a  roller pretty soon !!!

 Hows this project going

Are you still working on this??

I was wondering if anyone knows of a person who can do these modifications or a company that makes a replica shovel frame with the necessary clearance ?
I am thinking of building a 71 or earlier bike with either a evo or twincam motor & 5 or 6 speed gearbox.
Is there a clearance difference between them or does twincam go where evo goes?
From what i understand ,its the frame that dates the bike,not the motor,(that's in Victoria) but that may have changed.
Also what happens when you use a pre 70 frame ,as it has no numbers-I have seen a few old bikes with no frame no,or VP no- registered?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
