Harley Davidson "Shovelhead" I believe FXEF
It has an Indian head on the tank, 1940's.
1970's or early 80's Mani, I'll find you a link
Well haven't found one I'm looking for so I'll do some history: Harley- Davidson made the "Shovelhead" from 1966 - 1984. The 66-69 was a generator lower end, Your's is not one of those. The Bike has been "Customized" it has a repoduction taillight for starters, Known as a bee-hive, these where on Knuckelheads. It is a "LOW-RIDER" model. Take notice of the dual gauges on the gas tanks and the narrow front end. The low rider was first made in 1977 and first belt drive was 1983, so it narrows it down to 1977-83,
hope the driver didnt fall off the cliff
LOL van, I didn't think to ask that question
I hope not too vansky !
Thanks for all the help on Id of it . I think it was a great shot . I thought it might be a Harley and now I have to figure which family member owns it so i can go get it although I am afraid of heights

Thanks for the newest photo Mani, it shows me the belt drive, that dates it to 1983-84. Shovelheads last two years. Evo's took over from there. Again great M/C love it.
