You gotta like the looks of a Shovelhead. But the best part ( which you have not experienced yet) is the sound. You will be thrilled with you purchase. It's a diffrent ride too. Balanced much better then newer bikes.

Don't know where you are located. I know nothing about this guy, just did a search. Price sounds good. Even better if gave you a little for the core.

That would be KILLER if i was in Ohio! I live in South Carolina...:sd Im gonna end up taking it to my mechanic who does all the work on my other bike and let him look at the tranny and see what he thinks. I appreciate you trying more than you know

Hi Harley made a lot of changes to there bikes around 1980, 5 speed tranny, 80 cu. in motor, different frames

....the right tranny with the correct tranny main shaft is key to getting the the trnny sprocket lined up with the motor sprocket! make sure you get the correct tranny ! good luck!

Looking good. What way did you decide to go on the tranny?

I bought a Turtle Top case off of ebay and then used the good parts out of the old tranny and replaced all the ones that were worn or in bad shape. The way she sits right now along with the spokes i recently aquired ive got 47 in it.
