1984 flh
I know where there is a 84 FLH, pretty clean looking for the year and sounds great. I might consider it as a collectible I can ride. Mileage is wrong as speedo has been changed, but the way I look at it to keep an AMF Evo running this long it must have been maintained pretty well and kept up yo date.

Hey Bikerlaw, you are right of course. My memory ain't what it used to be, I should have done a little refresher work before posting. Thanks' for the catch! It's still a really cool looking bike though.

I would say take it for a ride. I rode an 83 from the dealer before the rubber mounting, shook like a beast. Didn't really bother me cause I was only 26 at the time. To be honest, I wasn't that all impressed with it at the time. The style is the same as my current 90 fxrs-sp. I don't recall it being an evo, just an 80" shovel, but I'm old and my memory not so good. my bad. But, I do remember it being a 5 speed.

Not yet, I just brought home a 98 Fatboy today, don't need the OL throwing a hissy fit right now. The FLH ain't going anywhere for now, in fact it's in storage for the last couple of years, so I'm just going to cool it for a few weeks or so, then maybe bring it home for a winter restoration.

Hi Warrconn. No it's kind of rounded, actually very similar to the fatboy except the choke **** is in the middle of the dash below the speedo.

1984 was the last year of the shovel in touring bikes, so an Evo engined FLH may be a 1985 model first registered late in 1984. Be interesting to see some photos! I test rode a red '85 FLH at Daytona, while riding a hired FLT!
