About This Product
This starter shaft housing from MCS is a critical component for the electric start system on early 80s Big Twins. It provides the necessary support and alignment for the starter drive gear, ensuring smooth engagement with the ring gear. This housing is a direct replacement for OEM part number 31387-80 and is designed for 1980 to 1986 belt drive models. This includes the 1982 Classic, 1983 to 1984 FLH, and 1980 to 1986 FXB, FXSB, and FXWG Wide Glide models. If you are experiencing grinding or poor starter engagement, a worn or cracked housing could be the culprit, making this a vital part for your restoration.
Manufacturer part number: 998780.
