The Words "Basket Case" is sometimes over used in the
motorcycle industry... This Build by Ed's Heads started out as a TRUE BASKET CASE....but really should have been called a BUCKET CASE! |

The 1979 Shovelhead parts show up...Several trips bring in an Original Frame, 2 wheels, a broken shock absorber and then the buckets arrive! |

The "Troublehead" is now taking shape of a real HD Shovelhead. Both fenders were fitted. A new CV carburetor was added using custom spacer brackets to clear the tank. Yes that's a HD tractor seat. See the finished product below! |
