The Harley-Davidson FX Shovelhead, produced from 1966 to 1984, is a legendary motorcycle that cemented the brand's reputation for rugged, powerful machines. The "Shovelhead" moniker refers to the design of the engine's rocker arms, which resembled shovels. These engines were known for their raw power, distinctive sound, and durability, allowing riders to tackle any terrain. The FX model, introduced in 1966, was specifically designed as a "factory custom," featuring a longer wheelbase, a larger front tire, and a more comfortable riding position compared to the standard FL model. This made the FX a popular choice for touring, cruising, and long-distance riding. The 1976 Harley-Davidson FX Shovelhead represents a significant milestone in the model's history. This year saw the introduction of the "Evo" frame, replacing the previous rigid frame with a more modern, softer-riding design. The 1976 FX also featured the iconic "peanut" gas tank, which became a defining element of the Shovelhead aesthetic. Its powerful engine combined with a comfortable riding experience solidified its reputation as a capable and desirable motorcycle. The 1976 FX Shovelhead continues to be sought after by collectors and enthusiasts for its classic styling, mechanical simplicity, and the raw power it delivers. The Factory Service Repair Manual offers valuable insight into the workings of this iconic machine, providing a detailed guide to maintenance, repairs, and troubleshooting for owners and mechanics alike.
