That looks pretty complete but of course all china made, as mentioned by johnjzjz
I actually am helping a guy get a '79 FLH put together, and there was a lot of electric start parts missing so am using JP to get.
No chance of getting OEM from Ebay or craigslist?

Yes, try ebay, facebook or chopcult. You might be able to find an entire primary from someone who dumped all the stock stuff and went with an open belt drive.

You could work towards the end idea of putting it back to electric start

NY is a very small town so i have no idea your location to point you to events that could get you close in buying

but you need to know what your looking for - jp cycles buys all the early stuff from V twin as he is the importer for china - just so you know

I do have the part still attached to the inner primary as well. This is from 1984 FXE.
Hope this helps

Tee&vee are you still needing those parts? Not sure if they’d work on a 76’ though.
