Well I found a bike to fill the void of the bike I never should of sold. It was a 1980 Super Glide FXEF in root beer brown.
I haven't picked up the Low Rider or even seen it outside of a dark garage with a broken door. The owner said he parked it when they pulled the lead out of our gas here in California.
The bike looks OEM from what I can remember. It is all black with the two-in-to-one exhaust still on.
The air cleaner is off and I didn't see it setting near by. He said it should be there.
My question is, do you think it could be a 1200 or were they all 1340's in 1980.
Thanks for any info on what I should do first. I pushed the kick starter by hand and the motor isn't stuck.
For 1980 MoCo produced 3,169 FXE 1200 Superglides and 3 FXS 1200 Lowriders (along with 5,922 FXS Lowriders). So the odds are that if it is an FXS it is probably a 80 in version. And as stated the Vin will give you the information needed.
FXS 1200 will have a 2F number; FXS 80 will have a 7G number

thank you
I will have to wait as I couldn't get to the bike very well.
