Arlen Ness air cleaner back plate. No idea on the bags.
Fork legs could be Harley or aftermarket. The HD parts will P/Ns on them.

 

Hey A#1 sorry I missed this. I hear ya about not getting beat up.

The primary drive is on the left side of the bike. Inside of it there is a sprocket on the end of the crankshaft and another on the clutch assembly which is on the end of the transmission. It's all covered by the primary cover which is that large chrome piece on the left side of the engine/transmission. On yours, there is an oval cover bolted on in the middle that has the end of a shaft sticking out through it. That is where the mid control shifter would go. Since Wideglides come stock from the factory with forward controls, they don't usually have that shaft sticking out. I don't know why someone would change it, one guess would be that this bike originally started out as something else, like a Low Rider, and then some previous owner changed out a lot of parts to make it into a Wideglide. That's just a wild guess, though.

I hope you're enjoying your new bike.

 

Or someone broke the cover and found one from a LR for cheap... The VIN should tell you what it was originally.

 

Yeh, VIN number has it as an Anniversary Wide Glide.


Thanks for the explanation, now i get it......but it does leave ya scratchin your head a bit.

 

How about these mufflers? Obviously Samson brand, but I wonder what model they are. 26" long.

 

From you pic I would say Longshots...but a full set of pics would be better...you know, front , back and both sides...I had a new 1998 Superglide bought new in 98....

 

Looks to be polished stainless steel "twisted" spokes. Those wheels look like HD stock units, built with those SS spokes. Landmark Mfg does those twisted spokes for pretty much everyone, including Buchanan and HD themselves. Keep an eye on them as they've been known to loosen and/or break at the hub. (Especially on rear wheels, not so much on front wheels.)
