Harley FXWG/FXST Shifter Plate & Smooth Shaft  (1980-86)

This is a reproduction plate, and its features are based on the OEM plate used on the FXWG from 1980-86 and the FXST models from 1984-85.  One of our sources shows additional use on the ElectraGlide Sport and FLHS-80 models from 1981-84.  Unique to this plate is the peg mount-to-shifter shaft bore spacing, which is wider, compared to the '87-later plates.  Also, this early plate used a different shaft bushing, which means early and late shifter components, in general, do not interchange. 

Also, there were two possible shifter lever styles used for the 1980-86 vintage.  The first style was the Shovelhead-era clevis connector which was retained using a clip.  The second style used was a early Evolution ball-joint type fitting.  The style included, here, is the early, Shovelhead-era version.  So the clevis-style connector is used.  Further, the shaft has a SMOOTH end.  So the smooth style shifter levers must be used.   However, splined shafts were also common to this vintage.

FITMENT NOTE:  as noted above, both clip type and ball joint type rod connectors were used for this vintage.  So you should carefully review your shifter rod connector types and requirements, prior to purchasing.

FITMENT NOTE:  both smooth and splined shifter shafts were used on Shovelhead-era shifter assemblies.  This shaft has a SMOOTH machined finish.  So a smooth style shifter arm must be used.
