-1975-1976 Sportsters use shifter shaft bushing (34037-52) in the right case and bushing (34037-75) in the cam cover. \\ +All part numbers were gathered from period specific Sportster parts catalogs from 1957-1985 including supplement ​and updated catalogs. \\
-As result of the Sportster going left side shift in 1975, the shifter shaft got shorter out of the right case. \\ +
