Default 1967 flh



1967 FLHFB according to paperwork. Originally from Texas, moved with the owner to Ohio, sat mostly covered in an enclosed garage the majority of her years, moved back to Texas. Only 'non-original' parts are the battery, tires and rear brake line from the T-fitting to the rear master cylinder inside the drum. 6732 original miles on the clock. Even has a tach (factory option). Color choice is Sparkling Burgundy.

According to my info the color choices were this, Black, Crystal Blue and HiFi Blue. Guarantee this will not get lost in a sea of modern black baggers.

Had a good looking 50' over the weekend and the seller pulled it 8 days before bidding was over.
I was already packing my bags for the trip to pick it up.
Have several FB groups that I subscribe to. Just happened to pop up on one of them. My 49 EL was mostly a basket case that I found in West Virginia many, many moons ago. Spend over a decade getting it together with as much OEM parts as I could afford. Since I took the pic, I found the correct backing plate and air cleaner cover.

Whatever you say slick. You find one in another OEM '67 color available, buy it and post up please . I happen to like the Sparkling Burgundy color.

Couple more pics...

Just gorgeous. What does the FB designation after FLH mean?

FB stood for "foot shift" tho it did not show up on the VIN pad but did on the title. FLHFB = 74ci with footshift, FLHB = 74ci with handshift, FLFB = 74ci with foot shift.
