*A piece of Harley History
*
The Shovelhead engine, named for the shape of its cylinder heads, was introduced in 1966 as the successor to the Panhead. Significant improvements to the engine resulted in an increase of 5 horsepower and better heat dissipation thanks to the larger aluminum heads. This provided more power and reliability without losing the iconic Harley characteristics. The FXS model, with its low and streamlined profile, was beloved by riders seeking a combination of traditional Harley power and a more modern, sporty appearance. The Shovelhead remained in production until the 1980s and grew into a symbol of the rugged, untamed American motorcycle culture.

The FXS Shovelhead is a true classic that perfectly reflects the history of Harley-Davidson. With its distinctive V-twin engine and classic lines, this motorcycle offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of motorcycle history and enjoy it on the road.
