1982 Harley-Davidson Shovelhead 'Lyle'

Few motorcycles carry presence quite like a Shovelhead. Produced near the end of an iconic mechanical era, this 1982 Harley-Davidson represents the kind of heavyweight American engineering that helped define generations of touring riders.

Originally commissioned for police service, this motorcycle features the higher-output configuration typical of fleet bikes — built for durability, torque, and long hours on the road.

Today, it stands as both a capable vintage rider and a compelling collector platform.

The bike runs well and has been recently serviced by our team at The Dog’s Hogs Motorcycle Repair Ltd., offering mechanical confidence alongside its historic appeal.

It is equipped with classic touring essentials including a windshield and saddlebags, and is further distinguished by a genuine alligator hide seat — a rare detail that complements the motorcycle’s unmistakable character.

Cosmetically, the bike shows honest signs of age consistent with a machine of this vintage. Rather than diminishing it, this patina contributes to the authenticity collectors often seek but rarely find.

This is not a restored showpiece. It is a true survivor from one of Harley-Davidson’s most celebrated eras — increasingly difficult to source in running, complete condition.

Whether preserved as part of a collection or enjoyed on the open road, this Shovelhead offers a chance to own a meaningful piece of motorcycling history.
