I suggest you wait until you buy a motorcycle, and go from there...

the Early /Late was in the VIN... or, better yet... Look, the derby cover comes right Off!
BTW I have an empty Shovelhead style RubberGlide Tranny Case... Put whatever guts you want to in it... excepting post ?? 1993??? IDK when that changed... maybe it didn't; One day I will put some guts in it and see how late it can go...

FYI the rubberband 5 speed FLT was made from 1980 on, 82 & 82 were the only FRX shovel 5 speeds. Same trans.

Thanks for your input.
