That 76 Electra Glide brought back memories. I purchased one used with 20,000 miles and after a 300 mile road trip with my wife discovered it was rebuild time, burning oil like crazy.
We tried the build a bike thing at Mid-O a couple of years running but it always turned into a scavenging session for various race bikes that were already supposed to be running that weekend instead. I think Cycle World or Motorcyclist did do the build one year with a Kawasaki 440?
If you are going to post - learn the content. Frame numbers started in 70, that's not a 72 front fender, that's a wishbone frame (probably not HD for 2 grand) The roller was a 70s Shovel - you get my point You will catch on, just do your homework before uploading. Good luck
Can’t know everything. That’s why we have comments sections. 👍 I can’t speak to big twins, but for sportsters numbers started in 1971, number pads on the frames started in ‘70.

Yeah, shovelheads are funny like that.
I'm always amazed at how many people dont know the difference between a casting and a forging.That was a forging on the '70 sportster frame,Chief.
Why don’t you explain it to us then?
