1975 Harley-Davidson 1200 FLH Electra glide, Shovelhead, Shovel

1975 Harley-Davidson 1200 FLH Electra Glide imported from Florida last year. Rebuilt engine and gearbox. Fitted with brand new S&S oil pump. wiring loom. police handle bars. pogo stick and saddle. battery. front and rear brake master cylinders. It is in the workshop at the moment being fitted with a newly bought belt drive primary and multi spring clutch kit. which will eliminate the shifting and finding neutral problems associated with the old style Harley clutch fitted to these early models. Also has had many other new smaller parts replaced such as handlebar switches and ignition and hard luggage locks. Fitted with a later CV carburettor and Dyna S ignition for better reliability. Nice driving bike runs and sounds like a shovel should. really comfy to ride with the pogo sick/saddle. The chrome and paint is not great in some parts. mainly the fork bottoms. rear rack and some marks on the primary cover all of which does not bother me in the slightest as I think an old Harley really suits a bit of patina but would upset the chromo boys.

The kit I received from the states is not as listed. It is a better BDL one with their new heavy duty ball bearing lockup pressure plate.
