Default Wiring Harness for a 1980 HD

HI,
My dad is giving me his 1980 AMF Harley Davidson – FXEF Fat Boy Super Glide that has not be running in 5 year.
The bike has around 50,000 mile and need a new wiring harness.

congrats - does your dad want another son?

first off, it's a FAT BOB.....****not**** a Fat Boy. The Fat Boy was ten years later and not as cool *ducking and running*

you could try your nearest dealership. Give them the part number out of the book. You *DO* have the factory Service Manual and Parts Book, right? You most definitely need those, they are your No 2 requirement after gas.

I know it is very unlikely that the dealer might have it, but they can also do a nationwide search to see if any other dealer has one lying around. I got a 15-year-old New Old Stock loom for my bike ten years back at a parts counter.

Otherwise, most major parts houses such as JIREH offer replacement looms. OEM style and colour coded

Have your Indy look in the V-twin catalog. They have a ton of the older (good) stuff

Worse case scenario, remove the old harness and build a new one that matches.

rewire it yourself, no wiring loom needed, it'll usually run better too.

Dude, take a digital camera and take a picture every time you remove something, don't ask me how I know.
