in my speedometer when i bought it the guage never lite up where can i get a bulb and is this an easy thing to do?

 

Minor historical correction - the Dyna name didn't come into play until 1991 when the FXDB Dyna Glide Sturgis was introduced.

In 1985 you most likely have a FXRS or possibly the more rare FXRC Low Ride Custom. 85 was also the "transition year". The shovelhead was being phased out though still appeared in some bikes until they used them all up. The Evo was the new engine.

Lots of 85 FXs had a mish mash of parts, making them a real bear to restore.

It would help if you posted a pic of your speedo so we could see exactly which type you're dealing with.

 

its a fxrs, this is my first bike, its an 85 with 6700 miles on it.

 

dont know if that worked i can email it to someone if you know how to upload them thanks. also it it back fires, it has drag pipes on it and was told it was jetted.

 

also i just saw my fork seal is leaking how hard is this to fix im a diesel mechanic but never worked on harleys is this something i should take to a shop?
