Here's another shot...anybody know the year? 1980 FLT ?

looks like an EVO so at least mid 80's

Shovel 1980

i thought the shovels had the starter lengthwise on the primary

The shorter primaries on the rubber mounts have the solenoids like that. On the longer primaries from solid mounts they are mounted lengthwise.

Hoist!

The shape of the cylinders looks like a late Shovel 80ci, which was introduced in 1978 running in concurrent production with the 74ci, which was discontinued in 1981.  The Shovel era ended in 1984 and was replaced by the Evo, which looked like the Shovel.

            (Wilson, Hugo.  Ultimate Harley Davidson. (2007)  Originally published 2000.  Dorling Kindersley Limited.  Great Britain.  pp 92-95)

 I'm thinking this one is somewhere between 1980 and 1984.

If you can't see the rocker boxes like in that pic, you can tell easily by the base nuts that attach the cylinders, instead of studs, like they still use today.

Hoist!

Man you nailed that one. Good one, have a beer for your fine work,  .

We sure missed you in HS.

You do know Bikes Blues & BBQ is in two weeks, Hint Hint. A nice short day ride from here.

You sure?  Actually I "ballparked" it.  Can't tell the exact year.  OK, I'll have a beer..........since there are over 110 of them in that "rustored" vending machine in my garage.

Missed you guys too, Scooter.  Originally I was to have given up HS to take Renea to the beach since she let me spend all that $ on engine work for the SEUC.  Turns out we both had to work..............and it didn't matter anyway since the SEUC is still not finished.  I guess I could have ridden the Sporty, but it would have taken me a week to get there.  I'm good for 30 minutes on that thing, and then I gotta get off it.  No amount of pain killers would soothe the aches of 500+ miles in one day on the Sporty.  My body is just too beat up for that.

BBB, man I'd love to, but since we couldn't go the beach, we're headed to MV.........and the weekend before that (6-7 OCT) were headed to the NCTS and NNCS races at Talladega Superspeedway.

Tell Val, Cary and Steph I said "Hello!"  Hey, you guys owe us a visit here in Alabama.  You need to help me drink all this beer and show my neighbors how to construct "Redneck Fireworks."  I just bought an oxyacetylene rig just for you Brother.
