83 fxrs help
Okay so the PO swapped the inner primary for an flt set. Shop told me the oem part number for the og inner casing was 60654-82a. I picked up a 60602-79a. are these interchangeable? I was told it came off an 83 fxr with 5 speed as well, I just want to be sure before I tear mine down

well, he swapped the oem inner case for an flt case, so I'd have to drill to reinstall mid controls. I'd really just prefer to take it back to og condition since I'd have to take it apart to drill anyway

I was thinking the 79a/b/c inner primaries were all 4 speed For 79-84? the guy that sold me the inner case had it on an 83 w/ 5 speed tranny from what he said

I thought they were model year designations, but regardless, the 5-speed FXR didn't come out until 1982.

I've got an 80 FLT. That's the first year for a FLT and the first model with a 5 speed. FLTs were never set up for controls like your FX. The current p/n for my inner housing is 60643-81B, but it's original p/n was most likely -80. 1980 FLHs were still 4 speeds, and had different primary housings (60508- )
