Production numbers
Ran into and ole timer last night while enjoying my ole iron( i am 65 so hes a bunch oler) He said my 82 flhs wasnt a big seller ...like 700-900 produced and lots were changed at the dealer ...running boards ,brake pedal and exhaust. Never been a restorer of these to any extent . So what guides do the guys doing correct restoration use? Probably never do a correct...well you never know....I know this bike is no rare animal but if i need to look up others it would be nice... Interesting ole timer said he ran the cannonball some years back on and indian ....
I know this is the only place I trust the knowledge thats shared...

.when i gave it its 5000 mile service it still had the chalk marks on the underside of the tanks, It still has the factory clips on the oil lines as well

plenty of blokes make a living out of cruising around US looking for cheap HDs then import them back and make a tidy sum selling them. Shovels are gaining in $$$ as 60s brit bikes are either plateuing or going backwards IE: 1969 bonnys were up to $16k-$18k few years back but people who want them now need a bike with an electric start so prices are now $12k- $15k Personally i hope he realises his $17k for the FLHs....good for us FLH owners
