About This Product
MCS pivot bolt for the starter gear lever. It fits 1967 to 1980 XL Sportster models and replaces OEM 31478-67. The original bolt wears or seizes after decades of use, causing sloppy starter engagement and possible ring gear damage. This replacement restores correct lever movement and proper mesh with the ring gear. A small part, but it keeps your Ironhead reliable. Check the condition of the lever bore when fitting.
Manufacturer part number: 997867.
