Since All Shovelheads around Me are Cone Bottoms... they only require the frame tab on the Right Board... the left rear goes to the outer primary!!
You may be thinking Earlier... or??

 

same with my 78 & 79 FLH's, only had the primary tab on the left, musta changed it at one time to save 0,03c,.. cheap fu**'s

 

Could be guys been a while, but I've had a couple cone frames come through with that left side tab under the primary, still got one I cut off in the spare fab bin.

 

Nah.... Yer gettin Old... like the rest of us!!!!
I do Think the '58 - '64 DuoGlide frame here has tabs both sides!!!
Too Lazy to go look... maybe later...

 

That’s quite a sense of humour you have. I look forward to seeing your evidence.


My first H-D was a 1974 Electra Glide that I bought used in 76 and although I do not currently own it, here is a photo of the bike from back then. The rear of the left footboard was bolted to the aluminium outer primary cover. In fact it was the very first thing I noticed about the bike.








The boss on aluminium outer primary covers is even shown in some of the appropriate H-D parts catalogs.

Took a minute and Checked... the '58 - '64 Frame does in fact utilize the Frame mount tab on Both sides... so the "twizted one, would be correct on early (non Shovelhead) models...
No Harm... No Foul ... this would be a Bad Place, if we need to Reprimand, and Harp, an Honest Mistakes!!!

 

I'm curious why the OP has dodged the numbers issue twice now, this the second time he's run this exact thread.

 

Numbers can be Pesky!!!!

 

I’ve owned a Duo-Glide since 1977 and I am well aware the 58–64 frames have a tab on both sides for the back of the footboards but the frame concerned is not 58–64.

The OP asked for help with info about his frame and that is the frame I addressed. The OP was told his frame was missing a tab for the footboard but I disagreed. And I did so without reprimanding anyone. If nobody disagreed about the alleged missing tab then where would that leave the OP? He would be left thinking that the tab was indeed missing. But it isn’t missing because it was not required in the first place, given that the frame looks like a mid/later-75 to 76 model as I mentioned in my first post.

Agree...across the board... Correct information trumps "feelings"
The aforementioned frame... is one that I personally would Avoid tho...
