Default China Shovel

Just joined today and already have received post as to my query.

I live in China and have found a 83 shovel brought over iin 85. After checking to see if it was stolen I was able to buy it for a good price and will start to rebuild it this winter. There is one official HD shop in Beijing and two not authorized, any and all input will be welcomed as the last HD I owned was an 77shovel FLH and I chose this bike cause it was the closest to what I already knew.
