Description

This is a used, clean V-Twin Manufacturing early-style 5-speed transmission mainshaft 5th gear (Main Drive Gear), engineered strictly for initial-generation chain final drive Big Twin platforms spanning 1979 to 1984. Exhibiting a distinct flat matte silver steel look with no surface shine, this durable aftermarket gear serves as a direct alternative matching original factory dimensions for part number 35028-79. [1]
The component has been thoroughly cleaned, scrubbed, and inspected under clear lighting. The main drive gear teeth faces show a uniform operating mesh pattern completely free of localized drive shearing, deep stress pitting, or micro-cracks. The internal bearing races are smooth, the mainshaft spline tracks are sharp, and the outer drive sprocket threads are clean and unstripped. It is an ideal, budget-friendly replacement part for addressing transmission gear whine or refreshing a classic chain-drive Shovelhead bagger or vintage FXR gearbox back to clean running condition. [1]
  • Condition: Used, excellent structural and mechanical health.
  • Specifications: Tailored for 1979–1984 chain final drive 5-speeds; matches early 1.000" bearing path mainshaft dimensions.
    Fitment
    The mechanical architecture fits 1979–1984 Harley-Davidson Big Twin 5-Speed Models utilizing an early factory chain final drive configuration: [1]
    • Late Shovelhead / Early Evo Touring (1979–1984): Tour Glide (FLT, FLTC), Electra Glide Classic (FLHT, FLHTC)
    • Shovelhead 5-Speed FXR Series (1982–1984): FXR, FXRS, FXRT Super Glide II [1]
    Fitment Status: Verified exact early chain-drive architecture matching original equipment factory dimension guidelines. Replaces factory cross-reference OEM P/N 35028-79 (V-Twin distributed replacement part code 17-0577). This gear features a smaller internal bearing track path designed strictly for early 1.000" diameter mainshaft configurations. It will not fit 1985-up configurations which migrated to factory belt-drive main housings and updated offsets.
