The Harley Davidson FL is a motorcycle model whose designation dates back to 1941. The FL prefix is mainly used for large-frame Harleys, including the Touring and Softail series. In particular, it refers to traditional style motorcycles with a sixteen inch front wheel and large diameter Springer or telescopic forks. The FLH 80 was produced from 1966 to 1984. It belongs to the "shovelhead" generation (nickname coming from the "shovel" shape of the cylinder heads), with a 1,337 cc twin-cylinder engine, called "1340". It is equipped with the Electra Glide system, i.e. an electric starter allowing to get rid of the kick. The model we present is to be put back on the road, on a healthy base equipped with its resin saddlebags and a carp tail exhaust.
