I recently recieved a 75 sportster, Ive been looking for local parts and found a guy selling and parting out a 69 sportster. Will these parts work for me?

Are you looking to purchase a complete parts bike, or specific parts? If specific parts it might help to list what you are looking for.

It depends on what parts you're looking for. Engine parts? No. Other stuff? Maybe some of them but probably not enough to make the purchase worthwhile.

You can use this on-line parts website to compare those two bikes, to see if the parts you are interested in have the same part numbers.

NO---No they are no interchangeable --- as far as engine and trans is concerned . 69 was a 883 and shifted on the right
