Default 71 FLH replacement Hand Controls

Looking for some OEM style hand control and switch replacements. I have looked all over the net and have drawn a blank. Do any of you know where I might find a set and some other parts as well. Thanks.

Well looks like I found what was needed at a site called Mass Classics. They have tons of parts for the bike.

That's all Vtwin catalog pictures & products or Taiwan Teds as we lovingly call that place .

Try http://www.jirehcycles.com/ You'll have to call for a catalog on cd unless they have the web site fixed and the cost savings is well worth the wait . It's the same stuff as Masclassics at 1/3 or less the price , been buying shovel stuff from them 30 years now

Go to J&P Cycles web site and request their vintage motorcycle catalog. Lots of old Harley stuff. Found a bunch of stuff for my 73 FLH there.

Thanks for the info Twisted. Will give them a call. BTW the bike is not mine. My brother bought it from his brother inlaw. The bike runs great but there a a few odds and ends that need fixing. He wants to restore everything back to factory specs all except for the upgraded brakes.
