Making progress
Sorry it has been a while since I posted anything guys. I have gotten quite a bit done since I last posted. I started stretching my bags. I am using a two part marine foam and then gonna glass over those when I am ready.
I have all the wiring done except the tail lights since I don't have gap fillers made yet. I am getting ready to route my oil lines and fire it up at some point today.
I put the front oil filter on as you guys know and I am wondering what lines go where. My service manual is kinda vague on this part. I have the two ports out of the oil pump. My manual says hi and low but both are even in height with each other. I also have a port out of the block which I am guessing is the vent, but I went with the head breathers for now cleaner look and no puking oil.
Also the bigger port in the block is what I am assuming john was saying is the primary oiler which I don't need so I can block that one off correct?
So stoked to get this fired up.

86 was also the last year for the wide glide until the dyna ,fxdwg came out in 92 or 93.
The 85&86 are pretty much the same, I believe it's a two year only frame ,learned that seat searching...84 you could get with a shovel or evo, frame different and seat won't fit.
