Thought somebody might be interested ... Unfortunately, no picture of serial number.

In his description, he says "This is the first year true shovelhead ..." OK, I will admit that the Sportster OHV motor looks a lot like a Shovelhead, but is there any GOOD reason to make this statement? Was the term "shovelhead" ever used by ANYBODY to talk about Sportster motors? Is the later Shovelhead motor a direct development of the Sportster?
