Shovelhead Choppers Compilation | 73 stunning bikes shown in detail

Shovelheads forever! Or at least for 48 minutes. Here are some of our favorite Shovelhead choppers we've shot over the past year or so. We've got bikes from Born-Free 12, Born-Free 13, Fuel Cleveland 2022, and Born-Free Texas.
Super picky and only like Slabside shovels? That's the first half of the video. Cone Shovels more your thing? Those start at about minute 23.

3:57 -- That's a great performance styled Shovelhead. I really like that cone/kidney cam cover. A long time ago, I met the guy who designed and fabricated them. Al Korf did up this one right and righteous!

[@davidlairson7998]

I would love to go to a place that had all these custom bikes at it. I would even like to put my bike in a show like this. Granted my bike wouldn't fit in. But my bike is beautiful and all custom and attracts a lot of attention but it's a big wheel bagger.

[@leroymitch3153]

i can only wish

[@Mopar46]

Was that bike at 9.03 ever featured in Easy Rider mag, in the early 80s? It is stirring some kinda memory in my brain.

[@brandonmarlowe6848]

Ate those hard tails custom frames? Or a specific model?

[@ChopCult_09]

The Throttle Addiction Shovelhead/Panhead hardtail will mate to all Panhead and Shovelhead swingarm frames from years 1958-1985 www.throttleaddiction.com/panhead-shovelhead-weld-on-hardtail-with-cast-axle-plates/

G,day legends! Great video! We created a documentary on Australian bike builders. Let us know what you think ! cheers

[@paulfrancis5728]

is it legal to ride a motorcycle with no brakes in the US as it seems a tad dangerous

[@peeteriitiz]

Maybe I've been around too long but there was not a stunning bike in the lot. A lot of 70's bike that have been refurbished.

[@kenneththompson6710]

'promosm' 🤦

[@davidchereneimmel8820]

I seriously do not understand the guys who run around without an air cleaner... foolishness!

[@davidmcfaull3162]

Just for show day

[@GeemailMailboxx]

Mine has a velocity stack with just a mesh screen between it and the carb. Love it. If it rains I just put a finer mesh cover on temporary. It all points to the side so you really don't have problems with it, at least I never have. It sucked a bumble bee in it once, but they are soft and mushy, my motor ate it whole, let out a burp as a thanks for feeding it and just rolled on. 😊

[@davidchereneimmel8820]

@david mcfaull yes I can understand that, the look is cool. But after 40+ years of riding I have seen plenty of crap ( dirt) in my air filters that would have otherwise been sucked into my engines causing wear. To me air filters are proven protection to help engines last longer. After all we wouldn't consider running without a oil filter would we? Carry on Brothers

[@JesusLives889]

​@@davidchereneimmel8820actually most vintage bikes had no oil filter. This was an aftermarket add on.

[@davidchereneimmel8820]

@@JesusLives889 what does that have to do with air filters?

[@3RDOOR]

Sexxy ❤❤❤

[@sweezyjackson4935]

These choppers are the skinny jean wearing vegan bikes of the chopper world. I miss the real choppers from Bourget and his peers back in the best days of the chopper.

[@franksliwa362]

Personally these bikes aren’t my style..no suspension to speak of..a 1 gallon maybe a gallon and a half tank good for 30 miles maybe… not meant for more than 30 minutes of driving…not really practical

[@jasonmyers3847]

Who gives a shit what you think?

[@franksliwa362]

@@jasonmyers3847 Did I touch a nerve?

[@robertcostello8876]

I think the chopper Era came and went.who the hell wants a hard tail really?? I rather have a stock knuckle haed or pan head at least you can ride them without a sore ass and bad back.maybe these guys still have these backs because they couldn't sell them years ago.maybe try again to sell as an classic bike.
