Thanks all. Bought it as pretty much a basket case. Guy was going to turn it into a bobber but lost interest. Spent the last 4 years slowly returning it to a flh. Parts are hard to come by as you know. Took 2 years to find a 4 way flasher switch. Saw a 81 heritage edition back in 84 and loved the olive and orange so thats the colors I went with. Complete rewire when I got it and it started right up.
if you cant tune out the dead spot some get in the mid range - they make torque cones that go in the front of the pipes - it make a venturi out of the cylinder head exhaust exit
they are called - torque cones - we have also had luck with a carburetor insert called a turbulator mid usa sells them for the S&S - some will tell you its smoking mirrors but we installed well over a 100 at least - and you cant get the guys to remove it as they laugh at who ever
and that shovel engine loves this spark plug - bosch platinum 4022 gapped at .035
