Hello,

I just purchased a 1981 Sturgis that needs to be restored. Do any of you have a brochure for 1981 or know for sure the specifics of this bike? Did this bike come with a chrome dual staggered exhaust with a cross-over? And was the heat shield on the cross-over black? I was told this is the exhaust it came with?? My bike has a non-black eye brow over the headlight is that correct? If someone could help me out i'd appreciate it as I would like to restore this bike correctly the first time.

Thank you in advance,

Terry

 

Regarding your questions,
1) The exhaust pipes were chrome “staggered shorty duals”. There is no cross-over. Both pipes are on the right side.
2) No cross-over pipe, therefore no cross-over heat shield. My brochure has no information (text or photo) regarding other heat shields.
3) Yes, the mufflers are tapered.
4) Yes, there does appear to be a shroud of some sort over the headlight. It is black.
Good luck.

 

Thank you StreetGlider57 for the information and the jpeg's. It is exactly what I was looking for. I unfortunately can not view the jpegs (I have an email off to the webmaster in hopes of getting that resolved).

Terry
