Don't understand. Are you looking for a part number for new valve guides?

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your first post

Google is your friend.

Just search 1977 Harley Davidson shovel head valve guide.
Guess your using a translator. Over there guess, it is limited.

Sorry I didn't introduce myself, my name is Ben I live in France, Normandy, I am restoring a chopper based on 1200 flhs from 1977, I changed one of the two cylinder heads (the other was dead) for a 79 cylinder head and I am looking for valve stem seals for the guide model in the photo, I cannot find the model of the valve guides (maybe they were only fitted a few years). THANKS

We balanced the crankshaft to the micron (photo of the crankshaft before balancing), changed the crankshaft bristles for jims, performance crankshaft bearings, we installed a high flow S&S oil pump, increased the size of the oil ducts in the crankcase engine, machined the cylinder heads to fit two spark plugs per cylinder.
