Help with a 71 fx restoration
I can't add to my original post so I will need to start another.
 \\;
Thanks to everyone for all the help that I have received so far on this project. I have nearly all of the big parts except for the stock exhaust and handlebars. If you know of any \\;that are or might be available please let me know.
 \\;
Thanks,
Roach \\;

RE: Help with a 71 fx restoration
part number for 71 FX Bars 56086-69 right w/signels, 56087-68 Left, 56089-69 right wo/directional signels. Judging by the part number these were probably used on Sportsters also in 68 and 69.

trying to find one. LOL I saw it on eBay, one month later for 9.00
thats life I guess.
 \\; \\; The HD museum trailer is coming to my town Thursday. I am going
to take pictures of 1980 Wide Glides. If I see anything on your bike.
I will send some pictures. I am not sure if there will just be old
pictures or bikes also.

The 71 and 72 FX's were almost identical. Two piece handlebars with internal throttle cable. On the left handle bar is the horn button, the button on the right handle bar is a kill button, which on the FLH's is the starter button.
