- 1967 FLH Brilliant Black and Birch White Refinishing a 1967 FLH. A gentelman in New Jersey looked long and hard to find a restorable 1967 Electraglide and found this one out in Kansas. it had been painted two tone Maroon and Red, but other than that was a very nice bike. We did this with the 74 Shop in Saugerties, New York. Steve, the owner of the 74 Shop, dissasembled the sheetmetal and sent it to me for refinishing in Brilliant Black and Birch White.

The outside are in finish primer-surfacer, and the insides have been painted.
The tanks and fenders in finish primer and guide coat, with the insides of the fenders painted and masked awaiting final sand and color application.
Saddlebags also needed to be striped and painted. Fibreglass can only be striped mechanicly. We sand and gently sand blast the edges where a sander won't go. Chemical striper will destroy the fibreglass, then the bags have to be thrown away.
These are the tanks and fenders painted and assembled. We use patterns I made from original paint sheetmetal to apply our two tones.
To avoid potential damage to fresh paint, we like to install the trim on the fenders. this also insures all the straightening has been properly done.
1967 is probably the prettiest Shovelhead model. It has a great two tone, the early dash cover, the cast iron oil pump, and the last year of the mouse trap.
