Looking for your opinion on fitment of an exhaust. I'm thinking about dropping a cone shovel motor into my 1989 FLHTC frame w/stock 5-speed. A company called GasBox sells some nice exhaust that I believe might work. I know the engine will drop into the frame no problems. Will what they offer work? See pics. I know the bike is an FX, but the description is for 70-84 FLH. I'm just worried about clearance of tranny, but it looks like that it will clear a 5-speed with no kicker. What do you guys think? I don't think the FL frame changed much from Shovel era up to 1989 Evo, and I know the 1980-1983 FLT shovels were rubber mounted engines.

 

It's for a shovel. It's not going to fit your evo

 

Always wanted an exhaust like that for my twin cam. But longer with fish tail and in black ceramic satin finish

 

he plans a shovel transplant

 

Should fit...fx and fl 4 speed swing arm frames are the same. And if it will clear a kicker and spring, it should easily clear a 5spd

 

Thanks guys. In 1980, Harley already introduced 5-speeds into the FLH line, and rubber mounted shovel engine in the FLT ('80-'83). If I do the engine transplant and end up using these exhaust, I'll let you know how they worked out.
