My bike is a 1985 FXWG, Evo engine with a 4 speed, rear belt drive.
My starter relay the the old style big unit and now is located under the transmission held in place with a couple small Allen screws. Doesn't look like this is where is should be. Does anyone know the original located for the starter relay. thanks a bunch.
On the Shovelhead models similar to yours, the relay was attached to the underside of the battery tray.
AND it's the 1" square (or so) black plastic relay. My FL has a screw to hold it in place on the battery tray.
Mine is not the 1" square (or so) black plastic relay it is the older style with the large copper bolts.

One of the fat terminals goes to battery + (10ga wire)
Other fat terminal goes to the small terminal on the starter solenoid (10ga wire)
That's the way mine is 1986 FXWG.mounted below battery behind rear brake reservoir.original was a pop rivet.relay number is 31506-79B , a 3 wire auto will work
