Default Help me out, what do I got?

I have looked at countless pictures of bikes and I have not found one that looks just like mine. something is up with the oil tank. I believe it to be a 1200 cc FLH. it is titled as a 1980 FLH Does it just have a aftermarket tank with a remote oil filter? Any help would be appreciated

Thumbs up

The engine is a SHOVELHEAD between 1970- 1985. First year Shovel being 66 with GENERATOR bottom, ending in 1969. Then going to an ALTERNATOR system with points in 1970 which is the bottom end you have. Tank emblem looks like 61-62 PANHEAD, thats all i can tell you, and it is definetly an FLH MODEL. Stock was 74 cu. in. 1200 cc. GOOD LUCK! And Welcome from Surrey B.C. CANADA
