Got this bike and she was butchered and striped down putting bags back on question I have is this right on the rear of the frame for a 1984 FLT?? (see photos) looks butchered to me? anyone know what should be on the back of the frame? some help would be appreciated









Thanks

 

here is a pic of a stock 83 FLHT...not sure if they are the same...but looking at these pics I would say it is...still have that frame section lying around if you need repair parts.

 

Kino, I think that's pretty similar to how it is on my '94. The chrome strut covers go over the top of that and hide the ugly!

 

Yea ditto on my 95, someone wanted to be able to bolt on newer accessories and changed the rear tubes. Just find the chrome covers. Looks like they did a nice job welding them in.

 

yea let me know what parts you have and are willing to let go of let me know what you want for them just PM me

 

Mine looks more like something went over the 2 ends of the frame what do the covers look like? need to search for them what are they called? this to me is just fuggly dont like the rack in the back Im also missing the bars that go from the 2 front bars of the bags that wrap around the side of bags to the back hard to find em will need those and a set of floorboard brackets they are gone.If anyone sees or knows where I can find these let me know.Will keep my eyes on ebay

 

the covers are part # 47551-79A & 47552-79A if you want to put bags back on it your going to need a lot more than that

this is what its suppose to look like from 1981 to mid 90's you need to do some fab work to put it back so you can mount the bags the rear plate mount slides into the tubes that have been cut off they are held in by rivets

 

DGyver and Tom1984,

Would it be better (meaning easier and and CHEAPER) to leave as is? Or, if he's gonna have to fab new brackets or rework the welds for older, original stuff, should Kino just go for 1997 - 2008 parts as they are literally all over ebay and craig's??
Just wondering out loud???

 

Take a look at my posts on tour pack removal, there's some close up shots of those tubes and covers

 

I have a fixed trunk mount if Ya want it for shipping, is also tag mount. Bolts to those tubes
