Changing bars isn't so simple on the old Glides.

The wet stuff doesn't matter, it dried eventually.



Wasn't real simple taking off the instrument cluster, more patience than skill, though. Should be able to get it off without removing the fairing, but since I was taking it off anyway...



And... no bars.



Be aware that if you get deep into the front end of a sharknose, it gets messy. Real messy...

This guy had what looked like the tour pak you're looking for last time i was in there. http://www.graybeardscyclebarn.com/
These guys have a lot of EVO and shovel parts as well.

These are the places I check when I need a swap meet in between swap meets.

I hope you put it back to stock! (mostly)

Definitely not as simple as I expected. Bars are not real high on the priority list at the moment, but I will have to take a look and see what I can do with it.

Thank you- the ebay site has this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/80-92-HARLEY...item4183826948

I cannot picture the mounts for the bike though- don't have it back yet. Anyone with this bike- how do these mount up?

Nothing sweeter than an old Tour Glide. This one is an '86. As you can see in my signature pic I just updated the old butterfly to an S&S Super E. My bike has never, ever run so well!!



I by a lot of my parts from Ronnies They have all the part breakout diagrams and list what is still available. Even the fairing and caddy can be bought last I checked.

thanks..i like riding big bertha..not the fastest thing I have owned but is one of the best ones I have had on the interstate...that extra weight helps from being blown all over the place...anybody with an 80" evo I highly recommend a 10-1 compression with a good cam,nothing extremely radical, you will not be disappointed
