Shovel head parts...coming my way.

Shovel head parts...GOT 'EM!!!!
I recently purchased a '72 Super Glide from our local HD dealer.
They dropped the bike off along with a pile of parts, including the original seat, pipes, front fender and a windshield.
The salesman also left his card with a name and number of a guy with '72 parts.
Turns out I know the guy. I called him last week. He said he'd have to dig the parts out and to call him back.
I called him today. He said he only had a chance to find some of the parts but there's still 2 boxes he needs to go thru.
So far he's found:
A boat tail with the rear fender, an NOS seat for the boat tail, a gas tank and #1 tank bib, parts for the dash, and the oval AC cover.
Oh, did I mention a pair of 'glass bags?
Price? Everything above for $1000.
Can't wait to see what else he comes up with!!!!
This was just too good, I had to share.
I'll post some pics and more parts when I get 'em.
Here's a pic of my '72.

Nice shovel! Now if you really want to go all the way with a restoration, i wonder how hard it would be to find that one year 2 into 1 exhaust. With a little luck the pipes and the straight kicker arm that came on those bikes might be in the box of parts. Oh i just saw where the original pipes came with it!

You can bet my surprise when I saw all those parts. The dealer never mentioned they had 'em.
I rode it over to the previous owner's house and he gave me the service manual plus a parts catalog.

And I too am looking forward to see what came with the OP's bike. All-in-all it looks like a great rider

If i had all those hard to find parts there would be no way i could not repaint it and put it back to factory original. There are very few of them left in stock condition. I know it was a fairly crappy bike by todays standards but in 1972 when i saw them on the showroom floor i would have thought i was in heaven if i had one. We would love to see what it looks like after you finish with it.
