I have a 88 flt with the fiberglass fairing that i converted to the flhs nacelle like rizzos. Im now converting to a rk nacelle and would sell my chrome hd flhs nacelle if you are interested

 

The EVO motor will drop right into any 1979 to 1984 Rubber mount frame with a Shovel. The frame was designed for the EVO use in later years. The bolt pattern in the Primary for the motor is the same and will also bolt right up.

As for converting to the Secondary Drive Belt on the Enclosed Chain models, it would require changing the inner and outer primary, as well as associated parts. The clearance for a belt is not enough to clear the belt.

I know. I had a 1982 and tried to convert mine. It cost me a lot of time (and some money) before I found out why I could not just change the pulley and add a belt.

 

im wanting to know if its to much on my bike to ride it a few hundred miles at 70 mph at 3500 rpms . I have a 100 cubic inch revtech with a 5 speed tranny. the bike is a 1980 flt. im asking you guys before i go and put a 6 speed in the bike i just got the bike its my first big twin ive had sporsters but now that i have this the wife and i want to see the country on it. it runs almost 4000 rpms at 75 mph i just dont know what these revtechs can handle on a long trip

 

I put a lot of miles on an '83 with the enclosed chain-it was a good setup,never leaked at all,chain lasted forever too.

 

Start a new thread,will will get more help.

 

Just bought a 1980 FLT but i can't find Vin # on engine or frame...I am 61 yrs old have been riding HD over 50 yrs I have a 1980 & 1981 FXWG this is crazy no vin on engine or frame...What am i doing wrong...Medford

 

Larry, welcome to HDF from the UK. The modern style of 17 character VIN wasn't introduced on Harleys until 1981, so your bike will not have those long numbers. Your bike should have a short number on the crankcases, just below the cylinders on the primary side IIRC. The frame number is normally on the side of the steering head casting, on a dedicated boss. If it has been repainted over the years it could be smothered by paint.

 

not sure if you found it or not ......but it is on the neck right behind the headlight

 

Where are the fork stops on 1980 FLT? I am building a basket case FLT, not sure if I have them. Doesn't appear to be cast on frame or triple trees.

 

Your bike should have a fat rubber bumper on each fork leg, between the trees. They bump against the steering head. If your frame is unrestored at present, you may be able to see the witness marks just above the level of the bottom tree.
