904171 Pivot shaft, starter gear lever

This pivot shaft for the starter gear lever is a precision-made component essential for the smooth operation of your bike's starting mechanism. It is specifically designed to fit 1980 to 1988 FLT Touring models and 1982 to 1988 FXR models. Over time, the pivot shaft can wear or become scored, leading to binding or improper engagement of the starter gear. Replacing a worn shaft with this high-quality part restores the mechanical leverage required for consistent starting. This shaft replaces OEM 31495-79 and 904171, ensuring a perfect fit within the starter housing. It is a vital part for anyone servicing the electrical and starting systems on these classic eighty-inch Big Twins, providing the reliability you need every time you hit the starter button.
