  • Found a nice one.

    1967 FLH, sat in the same spot for 48 years. 3114 miles. Has not moved since 1968. Battery was removed and fuel lines were replaced in an attempt to get it running before I got there. All it's missing are the original battery terminal bolts and fuel line clamps. One saddle bag lid scratched up.

    Any one know what bolts were on the battery terminals originally. 1038cp or circle f I know they are 1/4 x 3/4 but what markings on the heads?

      That's a beauty D.Ed. Early Shovelheads are the best looking Shovels.

        Great looking Shovelhead. I agree that the flatside shovels are the nicest. Enjoy!

          That is a rare find, what a beauty. I am curious about the VIN range as your machine has the later rear crashbars as mine has, mid 13,000 numbers.

            11127 Does your bike have original battery terminal bolts? Trying to find out what markings on the heads.

                This windshield doesn't have the King Size sticker on the inside. Should it?

                    It really is. Does anyone know if the current 10014 clamps are the right fuel line clamps. I want to have this judged, swore I would never do this, at Oley this spring. Any help would be appreciated. Need the correct battery terminal bolts too. The bike is running now and sounds great. Still puking out the breather, I think all 4 qts were in the engine.

                        D.Ed, My 67 has 71,000 miles and I am owner # 3. OEM terminal bolts are long gone. I wonder what the Harley Davidson museum has to represent 67. If pulled off the line to archive, I would expect it would have correct hardware whether FL model or XL.

                          1967FLH6.jpgHad it judged at Oley. 99 1/2 points. Lost a 1/4 point for a inline fuel filter I installed due to sediment in tanks, did not trust the screen on petcock, and a 1/4 point for some corrosion on some hardware. Very pleased. Had tons of compliments at the meet. A great weekend at Oley as usual.

                            I saw this bike and had a long discussion with the owner. It is a fantastic example of an early Flatside Shovelhead. One item that did come up was the type of clamp for the gas lines which was asked by him earlier in this thread with no response. On my 68, acquired from the original owner with 3900 miles, the gas line had spring type clamps which were determined to be correct. Would these clamps be correct for his late production 67?? Or would the crimp on type similar to the clamps used on the oil lines at the pump be the correct ones? Either way, this bike is an example that should be used for restoration comparison. As was told to me when mine was judged, "It is so good, it is too good." LOL.

                              D.A. Was good to meet you and thanks for all the interest and info. No one seems to know the answer to the clamp question.
