About This Product
When you are rebuilding the bottom end of a classic Shovelhead, you need components that match the original factory specifications for a reliable fit. This MCS sprocket shaft is designed as a high-quality, OEM-style replacement for 1972 to early 1981 Shovelhead models. It is built to handle the torque and stresses of the Big Twin drivetrain, ensuring your primary drive stays properly aligned and supported. Replacing a worn or damaged shaft is critical for preventing vibration and premature bearing wear in the crankcase. This part corresponds to OEM number 24001-72, making it a straightforward choice for restorers and mechanics looking to maintain the mechanical integrity of a vintage motor.
Manufacturer part number: 517990.
