I am looking for the correct handlebar for my 1971 Electra Glide. My parts book on pages 162 thru 165 do not list a handlebar for the 1971. Have I overlooked it? Thanks

The parts Catalog that I have is part no. 99456-84B. It states that it is for FL Models 1941 to 1984. I ordered this book from my local Harley dealer. Is there another book available? Thanks

The bike that I recently acquired has some type of aftermarket handlebars and maybe forks as well. I am trying to gather information about correct items for my bike, so I know what to look for as replacements, to use at a later time to get my bike closer to original.

i would go to oley and look at the restored bikes from the AMF era it will give you a real idea of what to do

The show is a little far for me at this point. Also, I still am not sure what the originals looked like - without any pictures. You mentioned that you had some originals - what condition are they and what would price be shipped to 37803? Thanks Randy

Still looking for the part number for handlebars on a 1971 Electra Glide. My parts book does not list it. I plan to take off the current handlebars and want to replace them with original ones. A nice picture would also be very helpful. Thanks
