I'll try to find some at home later.
Only other one I have right now is from when I rebuilt the top end.
EV 27
9.6 pistons/rings
valve job
lifters
pushrods
Super E
I have owned the bike since new, and it was still running fine. I just wanted to pump it up a little.
This pic shows the polished and plated rear wheel I got as a take-off from an FXSTC. I have since gone back to the spoke wheel for more of an old school look, since I took off all the pretty colored paint.

85 FXWG schematic
I'll add that I have a very nice copy of the factory schematic if anyone needs it. It can be blown up on your PC while the original service manual image is blurry, small, and barely legible.
PM me and I can email.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you lower the rear 2"? There is no way I could lower the rear of my 85 Low Rider 2". I had 1" shorter shocks on it and the belt would rub on the starter gear case. I would like to drop the rear a bit......
