Note... the FLH [looks like what that is] did Not come with a Kick Starter... hoping whomever adapts one does Not use Chiwanese Parts...as I sense Disappointment pending!!!!

Tho there are some open inner primaries with e-start capability!!!

LOL
Looky here... if you want Strike thru text just include an "S" with Parrens around it!!!!!
But... Can't go back and Fix it!!!!

An FX with Forwards...or Boards???? I do Not see the Thru hole for the FX Shifter .. And... I cannot see the Ratchet [on the tranny] to identify FX or FL either... and they were certainly different... especially so in 1973 and 1974...
