- I think the person looking for the 71 Shovel softail---84 cu may be on the
- wrong track.
- For a start Harleys in 71 were 1200cc (74cu) big twins,Sportsters were
- 883cc. Harley never made a Shovelhead softail. All softails are evo motors
- and of 80cu.
- I am assuming that this letter was a joke, If it was then agent 99 got me.
-
- Sporters prior to the 70's were of 900cc, during the 70's the displacement
- reached 1000cc then to 1100, it wasn't till the 80's that the 883 was born.
- Harley never made a softail in the 70's but there were companies such
- as Saviour that made the amen frame and the also the softail frame, Harley
- didn't invent the softail frame custom manufacturers'(sp?) in the 70's did.
