Clint I understand about the putting the honda engine in Harley, for me that would be just wrong, I owned bikes most of my life, the first street bike was a shovelhead when I was 17, and built bought and sold quite a few the newest had the evolution engine. It worked awsome but I still like the shovelhead the best. They do tend to loose a few more bolts and parts along the way but I didnt care. I had a honda for about a week I aquired in a deal I made with someone, rode it once and it wasnt for me. So I do respect your preference to the 2-stroke engines. To me Harleys and Newells are a little different, for you they are close to the same.
Do you have any pics of the 82? It would be great if someone took it and give it the TLC all Newells deserve and put her back on the road.
