Sharp lookin bike! I have a 67 flh mostly stock have not had many issues other than some valve guide problems that were cured by the right mechanic. Certain parts not easy to come by - carb rebuild kit was a challenge but did get one. plan on constsant tinkering to keep things working... Get used to doing carb and valve adjustments. Not sure if this is common or not, but this bike is the smoothest riding bike. Better than other shovels and even some jap bikes. a tinker toy, but I love riding it!! Safe riding!!

I too have a 1967 FLH.
89 ci.
All original sheet metal.
Very smooth bike.
Painted it 1957 Bel-Air teal and birch white, that looks as if it should've been an OEM color scheme.
