Cool looking machine. Amongst other things mentioned, it has a '72 or earlier front end.

Great find, congrats! Enjoy the ride.
Last year I brought a 74 FLH home from the northern lower. It had been setting in a garage 1/4 mile from my north house forever. Never even knew it. Been setting inside for 14 years. Bought cheap to say the least. I went through everything. Before I brought it home I dumped a good dose of MMO in each cylinder and let it set for a week. I did the go through everything routine. You know, the necessary stuff. Rolled over twice and fired up. Wasn't a mosquito around for a 100 yards. Runs like a dream, it's a keeper.

It took a bit of learning but soon was able to start my 76 XLCH on the first kick almost every time ... Won more than few beers at the bar after bragging then proving it
