On a scale from 1 to 10, how would rate the complexity of rebuilding a Shovelhead (1973 in this case), 1 being extremely easy needing nothing more than the ability to read a manual, a little mechanical ability along with some common tools and 10 being extremely difficult with the need for a lot of specialty tools and specialized training or expert help? I am a pretty good wrench having rebuilt more than one automobile engine, but have never had a motorcycle engine apart (one exception was an old dirt bike I used to have in my younger days, but it obviously was not a HD V-Twin).

Let me know what you think.

Hello from FL.

I wanted to get the opinion of some people. I currently ride a 2002 Honda shadow spirit 1100. I am looking at moving to a Harley. I found a beautiful 79 shovel that would be within my range if I can work out the $. Any tips or thoughts on that. It's mostly stock. Yes. That means a 4 speed tranny. Some of my riding is highway on 95 sometimes holding 80-90. Will this bike suite my riding? Keep in mind that's not my usual riding. It's usually semi-city at about 40. I just want to make sure it will not fall apart.

Any input would be helpful. Also. If there are threads
for this that would help as well.

And for those interrested, even though it's not a Harley, here is a link to pics of the shadow.
