Only two bolts are visible on the left side of each head, the right being inside the rocker boxes. The pan and shovel barrels bolt to the case with four bolts and to the heads with five bolts, all bolt heads being visible externally, as can be seen in the photos. The cam cover is late panhead. The exhaust ports are either modified to shovelhead style flanges (a common mod) or he's using aftermarket shovel-style heads with pan covers. -- Toosmoky Work to ride, Ride to Work... http://users.tpg.com.au/smokey61/cafe
