Default 4speed blockhead

I've been ridin this 85 fxsb since '91, and tore the tranny down after a snap ring came out in the oil drain. I've had no prob's getting the gearset from Andrews, but it seems that nobody has an output shaft for a belt drive 4 speed!

Is there any chance somebody here on this board might know of an Andrews shaft # 208800? I haven't ridden the poor baby since November, the shaft is backordered from Andrews and I'm gettin tired of waiting for them to build one for me...

I can't believe it took me this long to find you folks here. Y'all seem like a well-informed, helpful groupa people. I hope we have a long and happy relationship.

Check out my profile (if you like heavy metal music) and click on Muzzlestamp's web site for some good audio downloads- the drummer's my son, who's been playing with classic rock/blues bands since he was 2 (he's over 30 now....).

Welcome aboard - Not sure if you've poked your head into the tech forums here but they have some really thrifty people hanging around ;-)

Also the forums for Want to Buy/Sell stuff are good for keeping your eyes out for that particular need!

get that baby back in gliding position!
