    It's in self service mode under the primary 😂
    There will be some head scratching I'm thinking 🤔

    She started life as a 1973 FLH1200, still has matching numbers but oh my!
    Thankfully he has the genuine service manual in the box of bits, that will help some.
    Has a half fitted Ultima ignition, I'll have to pull it all out and start from scratch to be sure it's set to the cam and stroke properly, no destructions but I'm sure I can hunt them up on the net, he hates points apparently.

    Think it's an E Steve, no Bendix in the box of bits so it shall remain an S&S I reckon, been a bit off so haven't really looked at it in depth as yet.

    Nothing meaningful Stuart, I'm going to put it on the lift as soon as the sporty comes off, hopefully sometime this weekend if all goes well, have to go to town for appointments today and tomorrow so might not get much done till Saturday.
