luck with your retoration.Go to a bigger swap meet and someone there should have a set of head pipes to fit an `80 shovel.Toby
The 80-81 have the 2into 1's , my 82 has no crossover on factory drag pipes , AND NEITHER do the original non amf fxb of the ( original 14 ) that willie g and co. took on the 650 mile ride from factory to factory when they came out that year , some have crossovers , some dont !

1980 fxb shovelhed and I'm having some challenges with my exhaust hook up because the stud broke off and I re-tapped it but it's not sealing up any suggestions

Thanks

Great pics, thanks for sharing them. I'm a big Sturgis fan and have an '81 in storage myself, I hope to resto in a few years.

Kind of an old thread, can't imagine you aren't finished yet, but IMHO the Hunting Harleys guy (Todd) is the best and he has a short youtube of a Sturgis (maybe 2) and I think it's '80 or '81. Mean lookin' machine.
