84 FLTC Newbie questions
hello everyone new to the forum. I just picked up an 84 FLTC. I know she is missing some parts and I am also gonna need replacement parts im sure once I go over everything. My question is whats my best route for getting parts? and finding out what the part # is? is a parts manual available just for this series with diagrams? Thank everyone in advance for any info.

I visited Daytona in 85 and hired the identical twin of your bike! Plenty of experience and help in here, so welcome to HDF from the UK.
Harley publish a service manual and parts book for your model and year, it will probably cover all the big twins. You should be able to get new copies from any dealer, possible secondhand ones from Ebay.

One other way for parts is here. I have noticed that some forum members have parts that they aren't using and would be happy to send them to you.

As you're new to this stuff, I'll just add that I have found through personal experience, that in general, it is best to stick with OEM parts whenever possible. Some aftermarket parts are good quality, better than OEM, some are the same and a whole bunch are junk. I ride an Evo (that I bought new), so I don't have to buy a lot of parts. That means that I don't buy enough parts to be able to know which parts are as good or better than OEM and which parts are junk. I do know that the HD part will be either as good as the original part or about the best approximation of that part available today. It is pretty easy to save $20 today and it cost you $200 tomorrow. Kuryakyn anything is a good example.

Is it an Early 84 or Late 84? That is the year they changed the clutch assembly. Early 84 has the shovelhead style and late has the one with the diaphragm spring.
