hey all. just wanted to say hi. just got rid of my 80 FLH for an 86 FLHTC. currently in the process of making it mine and eliminating issues. if this group is as good as the Shovel group, I know I will be in good hands. looking forward to good advise.

 

Welcome Elmo.... You'll get everything you need... There's a lot of good guys here. Where upstate are you..? I lived in Poolville for many years...

 

Welcome
Not sure how the shovel forum works but we like pictures here

 

Welcome to EVOLAND. The only difference between us and the Shovel guys is

WE GOT PARTS!

the strip down begins

 

Im from the Finger Lakes Region. about half way between Rochester and Syracuse along the Thruway.

 

Congratulations on your new ride..!!
Excellent choice btw.
I don't know how your '80 FLH was set up, but given my personal experience with my '85 FXR allow me to respectfully recommend you acquire a spare clutch release finger, right side push rod end, and throw-out bearing kit.

 

Nice bike and welcome to the EVO section. Hold your wallet tight! People around here like to spend other people's money.
