Can anyone tell me where I can find parts diagrams online (FREE) i.e. Engine, trans and possibly complete bike. I have HD manual but it seems pretty vauge and not many diagrams. Thanks
And when exactly did they change from right side to left side shift?

so here is your homework. befriend google, learn how to navigate it's wizardry and find out when they switched from right to left side shift your damn self! lol. good luck and remember, the dog ate my homework aint gonna fly round here! lol.

 

Home work completed.... Right to left shift in 1975.
So Im guessing my bike is a early 75 model as it is still right side shift.......
I did decode the engine VIN, 3A43812H5, with stars at the beginning and end.
And it came out as a 1975 XLH. So thats why I was a little confused about the shifter change.
THANKS for the link, bmxatv.
BTW this is my 1st Harley and it a basket case.....

 

you get a smiley face for a job well done on your homework. see that wasn't hard. lol.

 

I had a late 75 that shifted on the left. Switched it back after I bought it. As I remember they wanted all bikes to shift and brake on the same side.

 

Looks easy.

 

 

I love my 75 ironhead! shifts on the left,kicker! good luck, will be well worth it!
