RE: 1975 ironhead question, for a newbe

Hey there Pinion, what's weird is that your manual shows it as being a 1975 model, but looking around the Sportster site it shows that the "H" designates '70 through '79 and 5 as the year. So your manual and other sources are right. '80 was the last year to use a letter code which was "J", and '81 on up used a different serial number system.

piercedreality......
If I could offer you a suggestion here, it seems like you have searched under 1975 ironhead and found this thread (which is fairly old) and related to another problem a member had posted before.
My suggestion is to start a brand new thread regarding the problem(s) you are having and this should result in a better response, and hopefully some answers to your question(s)........pg
