Default Shovelhead Inner Primary Help

I'm needing a new inner primary for my shovelhead. My bike has parts from different year models on it.

Here is a pic of the one I'm needing to replace.



Looks like it has 9 holes. Any ideas what year or model I need to look for to find one like this?

Thanks guys

Several will interchange, any year shovel except the FLT or FXR since it doesn't look like you are using mid controls. And FYI the earlier years were beefier if you are shopping local, only real difference is the later, one starter bolt went through instead of being a stud.

Where you located?

Thats an 8 hole. You need a 9 hole inner for your outer, my 84 is a 9 hole and the part number I would think on the inner would be a -83 part number.

If the only thing wrong with yours is that broken chunk of lip, have someone tig it back on, it's really not that critical.
