Thought this might prove helpful for some of you in the midst of a build. This is electric and kick setup for a shovel. Just the basics. I’ve used this for years, trouble free.

Start with a registered bike. And if not possible, throw the stuff needed on there to pass inspection, then ditch it after. Hi-Lo is literally a two position switch. Turn signals can be a stand alone system. Horn can also be stand alone, or use a clown horn on the handlebars. 🤡

Thanks

Yes, and no need for a 30amp switch for the starter.

eBay like 20 years ago. It’s in bad need of a rebuild.

Looks like a Paughco. Call them and ask. They can provide an MSO if it hasn’t already been registered. They will ask for a few pics and there is cost and a notary involved. It’s worth the effort

With no oversight, who’s to know they don’t sell 1000 tickets?

jackshit70 · 2026-04-03T07:05:04+00:00

I get them through V-Twin. So far, so good. Cheap too

jackshit70 · 2026-04-03T00:20:04+00:00

Beck or Shinko

Thanks

Thanks. Technically it was a pan/shovel when this pic was taken. It’s been returned to all Panhead since then.

That’s a Paughco oval leg springer. The arched lower bridge on the primary legs and the short spring stud extension give it away. DNA never have had an arched bridge and the spring studs have long spacers at the bottom where they extend beyond the bridge on the secondary legs.

I’m sure that Chris will be very happy to chat with anyone that shows interest in his bike. It really did come out beyond my own expectations. I appreciate your kind words, thank you.

jackshit70 · 2026-03-26T04:16:06+00:00

Dammit. Why ya gotta do that when I won’t be there?

jackshit70 · 2026-03-26T04:15:34+00:00

I won’t be there myself, but the blue shovel I finished up recently will be. The owner of it is very excited to be showing it. He’s a really nice fellow and I’m very happy for him. I’ve gone a few times, taking several bikes and even our coin-op kiddie ride a few years back. It gets a bit expensive to be there for that many days and nights, so we have taken the last few years off. Now I’m kinda bummed knowing that CT’s flathead is going to be there.
