    Don't know how hard it would be to find 62 hand shift tanks. Trans top should be easy. Is it going to be a daily rider or just ocassionally ridden? They are a blast to ride but if your not dedicated, shifting it could get old fast.

      I love my hand shifts. I even converted my 78 FLH to a frame mounted hand shift, pre 47 shift pattern.

        It just becomes second nature after a while. If you like it, I say do it!

                  I guess its all in knowing how to search.
                  His price is ridiculous. Make him an offer he can't refuse.

                        Hello Esquire, I think I have the tank you need. I sent you a private message.

                        Best regards,
                        IRon

                            I agree with Chris, $600.00 for a Left side hand shift tank for 1961-62' is way out of hand. Especially if some one like my self could put it to use on their personal bike, not to resell, and is a fellow club member! It seems some members are all about profit! Not all of us are millionaires. Most are working class trying to put together a bike that they love. Just like my self. Of course it did not sell on Ebay and I did contact him to see if he would be more reasonable to no avail! Oh well, I will keep looking. Patience is virtue!
