questions on fitments on '72 Ironhead

[FLH_Rider]

Many moon's ago I had a '64 XLCH and right now have picked up a '72 that's missing cam cover and cams along with primary cover and sprocket cover. Hence no distributor either.
I was wondering if a magneto cam cover will work? I wouldn't mind setting it up like my old '64
This one is an XLH but kick only. I may try to find an electirc starter to save my leg.

If anyone knows the years of fitments I would appreciate it.

Thanks,,,,

 That's easy. Just pick up a J&P catalog. It will show the years and models that the parts fit. If you are still confused, you can call their tech guys.

It's kinda expensive but it works.

are you looking for cams too ?  I think I have a set of " P " grind in good shape

I believe a mag style cam cover will fit but of course you need to run early style ('57-'70) cams to drive the mag. You have to keep the later style ('71-'76) sprocket cover because of the later wet style clutch.

When I decide which way I want to go. I'll get in touch Sonny.

I do need everything on the cam side.
I need to make a list up of what is missing and start acquring parts.

Thanks for the info,,,,
