Good find man! My cat does the same thing when I am wreching.. FL, FX, FLH Mid star was 67-72. 73 is the first year of the double dual bananna calipers front and rear and the introduction of double flange rear wheel for sprocket and disk. 73-74 is a single flange with deep dish front rotor. Star hub was 36-39 stepped, 40-57 minor changes but similar in design, "welding/brazing/recessed grease zerk", but fixing the dangerous prewar internals, big change was for Hydro rear brakes 58-66 star hub with the milled brake side mounting.

In 1982 I bought a ‘70 FLH exactly like your ‘70, right down to the blue original paint. Really brought back memories. Reliving a lot watching this video too. I had that bike down to the frame so many times changing it around that I can still remember every nut and bolt on it. We did a video with my friend assembling it in time lapse in an early Easyriders video that I now have on my KZitem channel. Sadly, I was almost killed on it, when a schizophrenic ran me over on the way to work in ‘96. The frame was bent every which way, but Dr. John straightened it out for me near perfect. I put it back together with a beautiful candy blue paint job and sold it to Chica’s then business partner Don. It’s in Japan now. Enjoyed this video, thanks for the memories.

It was interesting to see even up into 1972 this frame still had the right rear swingarm pivot bracket from the old Duo-Glide style (tool box mounting boss (undrilled) and the rectangular boss on top of the swingarm pivot for the old oil tank mounting bracket). The left rear bracket had been changed and no longer has that boss. I’ve had ‘67 and ‘68 frames like this. Harley made a bunch of running changes from the late ‘60’s up through the ‘80’s.
