Be hard to pass that up especially if the bottom end was still good

Good luck

 

if the bike starts to leak from the trans the front pulley splines are probably on the way out. I had to replace the main gear too because the pulley got so loose it destroyed the splines on the main gear. the OEM pulley is about 1/2 inch wide in the spline area the revised upgraded pulley is 3/4 of an inch, but I wouldn't change anything until you start to have problems with it.

 

Thnx for all the replies,seems the early Evos are solid,knowing what I know about em if it's a clean unit I'm gonna ****** it up. Haven't heard back from the guy yet but the pics pass the sniff test.

 

I got a 85 FLHT? up and running for a friend of mine. Only thing of note was the aftermarket parts books were wrong a lot of the time. Not a big deal if you get a model correct factory book, but creates some headaches with the likes of JPcycles and other online shops.

 

factory parts book is part number 99438-86B. I just happen to have it sitting next to me.

 

I'd go for it, clean title and running/riding....my wife would get mad.

 

Go for it! The only downside I can imagine is that if you have to find a replacement seat, it might be a bit cumbersome.

 

I have a 1985 FLHTC. they have weak cases prone to crack. As for the rear caliper, I would like to know where to source a decent rebuild kit? I have one for the rear master cylinder but cant seem to find one for the rear caliper.

 

43946-79 is the part# for 1 piston, seal and boot. you will need 2 of the kits because the caliper has 2 pistons..

 

So you are able to order through the dealer? I have tried here but was told they don't make this kit any longer. Well I will try again with the part number you have me. Worth a shot thanks.
