Got a New Toy

Just got this. My Dad’s old 76 FLH 1200.
Pretty dirty, been sitting for about 15 years.
Hope to get it looking and running like new again.

That will be a lot of fun… dates back to when Harley had a few quality issues though. I’ll bet those tires are hard as a rock.

Yes the old AMF days.
My brother in-law has been riding Harleys forever.
I asked him what parts on this bike are prone to problems, he said, all of them. :astonished:
It will be a cool old bike.

My first time to ride a Harley was in 1980. I had been riding mostly jap bikes. My buddy bought a used Harley and it sounded great. He let me ride it, and something fell off before I made it down the street 200 feet. I stopped to pick up what ever it was, and almost dropped the bike. It was pretty embarrassing. I finally go to ride it on the highway and really liked it. He sold it a few weeks later when he discovered it would not run if it got wet. I didn’t get back on a Harley until the AMF days were over.
