It has a seat post bushing my guess it was originally a police bike but bought for street use - every thing missing or damaged is available reasonable money
25,000 miles is fine - if you go through it totally and spend the time it takes and the money you will end up with a life long friend = but you cant throw a plate on it and go it will not be happy on both ends

It has a seat post pushing but the VIN says it’s an FLH 80 classic.
I do understand what you’re saying. This isn’t my first AMF bike. I understand the connection you get with a machine by working on it.
I also know me, though, and I recognize that once it’s working like it ought, I’m going to grow tired of it.
I’ve ordered some pieces… oil filter, covers, and am waiting a bit but thought I could address the carburetor issue.
What’s on the bike is an S&S Super B. I’ve no idea how long it’s been on it but the owner who says he owned it since 1982 says the local Harley shop convinced him to go with it - at some point. It doesn’t look new.
But, the original Keihin came with the bike. I prefer the idea of using the Keihin so I thought I’d open it up expecting to see rotten rubber and varnish and expecting to spend some cash.
I was surprised, though, as things look very clean inside. Almost as if they pulled it and cleaned it up for the shelf. Part of me thinks they did clean it up and couldn’t make it work right so they went with a new one instead.
Legitimately, though, it doesn’t seem as though there has been fuel in it. Have a look :
