I can't believe Bert's just let me ride away on a brand new Stage IV Harley Davidson. This is gonna be FUN. Keep it weird y'all #shadetreearmy
Flip is my hero. He gets the girl every time, wins the races and steals the bike out from under you..
He's kinda like Elvis in that way.
He's old school like that. Steal you bike, steal your ol lady and ride off with his massive balls just draggin out behind him.
Time for a rematch!! Haha
Or is he riding a girls bike. LOL
I've come from the future! Don't give Flip the keys!!!!!!!
Damnit! Now I’m my own grandpa
Don’t you mean the past? Flip’s video on the Road King was out on Sunday.
@@shadetreesurgeon Have you figured out your payment plan yet? Don't think giving this one back is gonna be easy.
Hey Josh...you lucky bastard! Ultra cool bike. Forgive me cause I'm a bonehead motorcycle enthusiast, but I've never understood the plethora of Harley model and feature nomenclature, fer instance what exactly does 'Stage IV' signify?..It would be helpful if sometimes you could maybe explain for those of us who are not hip to all the buzzwords, acronyms, etc. That Harley afficionados toss out with such ease...and leave
Me dazed and confused as to what all that cool sounding stuff really means.....yeah I'm an idiot but crave a deeper understanding of the coolness😁😉👍👍
I love how they mount those remote shock reservoirs.
Hell yeah, congrats brother! 🤘🏼
Perfect timing!! I literally just lit my morning safety meeting with a fresh cup o coffee.
🥇
HELL yeah
Bike looks awesome man!
Burn it down homie. 😤😤😤
Safety first
With all the Harleys on this channel, the one that appeals most to me is the old crusty glide. It still has that characteristic low idle, and more character than all the new machines combined. I value character way above power or 'shiny'
Preach bother
Verse evo 9.5:1
hallelujah 🙌
I love the Crusty Glide the most to. There is just something about it.
The Crusty Glide has become his channel’s mascot... I mean let’s call it what it is
@@iliketofish7080 May he who is without oil throw the first rod.
Yeah sorry mate, I know the M8s ride all smooth and up to date : something like being pillioned on a highway by a Victoria's Secret model after you've dropped some Molly .
I have to wonder though how long will we be seeing the Clubbed to Death look....6 twin cams listed today on marketplace, 6 very close to cloned bikes waiting for the trend to move on.
Git those cuts on and...."Ridin down the road "....Sons of Anarchy "
I'm fine with the platform....just be nice to see pre 99 bikes left alone to appreciate. ..or maybe just be appreciated by those who want 90's models enhanced to suit owners unique needs
Shadetree is always there to bring some motorcycle joy to my life when I need him
Two observations: 1. Flush mount caps/gauge that will reduce the possibility of you tearing it off. 2. Flip apparently won again. ;) Ride safe!
Looks like they child proofed that fake gas cap thing for you. LOL
I think the fake gas cap is actually a gas gauge on the special.
@@mattbroussard7409 It is.
@@699669king Nice. I want one so bad!
@@mattbroussard7409 ... A gas gauge? :)
Matt Broussard he might try to twist that one off too 😂
Lol, when they call that bike back, you’re going to be like nah, I’m keeping this beast, send me the bill.
I wish man lol
I love Burt's and I have never been there 🤣. Though they support Shadetree with motorcycles which gives me content to enjoy 😎. Nice bike!
Love the fact a company can support someone who keeps it honest. Loving the videos! Watching in Scotland
Who would have though Flip Na would be so much fun to watch. His awkwardness around a camera makes for great content.
Oh yeah that thing makes my 88 twin cam ultra engine look like a Briggs and Stratton 🤙🏻
Been watching the channel for about 5 years. It's awesome to see how far your channel and life has come. I remember when you first started talking about brap star garage ...... now it's a real thing, you used to talk about wanting to do real honest reviews on new bikes .... Now your doing it. Your hard work and dedication has paid off congratulations brother. Hopefully someday I can make it to Florida and stop by Brap star and meet you and the gang
Well that gave me the warm and fuzzies... thank you for the kind words my friend :)
That's the perfect bike, that I can never afford...
Same here man
That is literally the rhtheroic for every harley lol
@@SILK334 I got my sportster for a thousand and rebuilt it for cheap
Just get yourself a channel, like shadetree did 😂😂😂
shadetree surgeon how much did they say? Is that a reveal at a later date?
I just wanna say that I come to watch you on this channel, not because of the camera work but because your bike monologue sessions are extremely entertaining. I’d watch you talk and ride for hours.
Hey dude. He did clean his shit out the back when he was done. Thats a good friend!
One of my buds from high school took my car the same way. He got a surprise when he found out it didnt have power brakes lol
Shadetree keeps making me want a Harley more and more. I thought I’d never want to own one before watching his videos and now the thought keeps creeping into my mind.
That thing sounds and looks amazing! Can’t wait to see the dyno numbers!
My local custom shop put together a full S&S motor on a Road King last year. Full track type build. At the time there were like 3 in the country. Dyno'd at something like 150hp, IIRC. They had it out at a poker run to break it in, had a little spot where we got down to one lane road, he cracked the throttle open to get the line of bikes moving a little bit again, pulled the front end off the ground and was doing 90+ in a heartbeat. Built right, those vtwins are NASTY.
Hey man nice road king, you made the right move slating the heritage, I must remember that one it pays to be honest. Keep it weird, 😎
Haven't watched any TH-cam in a minute. Glad there's a bunch of shadetree to catch up on while I got this rona.
If there was a GoFundMe to buy this bike for him, I’d throw in on it.
He would never make one...
If we started a go fund me for every bike he liked we’d all run out of cash and he would run out of room. Haha
This is proof you live a charmed life! Keep living the dream, we all need inspiration
Love the exhaust note. I gotta admit I’m getting a bit tired of bikes (and cars) with exhausts that are just outright obnoxious. They don’t sound good, they’re not supposed to, they’re just stupidly loud in order to say “look at me!!” like a toddler with a drum set.
I can’t begin to tell you what I’d like to do to the simpleton that tears past my house on the back wheels of his exhaustless quad bike. What a bellend.
theres something about this guy....i like it. no fuckin about straight up dude .
your energy and attitude is awesome.
stay blessed in the world of bikes!
The Clark Kent road King has revealed it's true self and put on his cape, 🐱🏍
The smaller front fairings look really nice when done right, IMO. That bike is a good example.🙌 glad you're enjoying it!
Can you imagine how wild this 131 is gonna be on the softail? Lol
Random fact, the 1st German Tiger tank captured in WW2 complete is 131. It’s still functioning in working order today at the Tank museum U.K. at the Royal Armoured Corps HQ in Bovington. They get it out for tank fest and tiger day.
Shadetree: The Heritage is alright
Harley Co.: OH really....Bert's you know what to do! Release the BEAST!
Harley Co.: see em give a bad review now...
I don't understand why so many riders try their hardest to hide from the wind. To me it's all part of the visceral motorbike experience, it's elemental
....."it's not all cream puffs and sunshine, I've still got to clean up urinals". i couldn't have said it better!
It's OFFICIAL I am buying my Father's 1988 Sportster 883. He is the 2nd owner it was his first real street bike. And now I'll make sure "Girdy" stays in the family
If I lived there, I wouldn’t buy a bike from any where else. People confident in what the sell, businesses the support the “little guy” (sorry about the fat joke) are people I would support. Bad ass bike my friend.
LOL! No offense taken man
after years of finagling with windshields, i find your points about them spot on
That is the sweetest Road King I have ever seen. Flip seemed to have had fun when he took it for a ride. And on the plus side it looks like you can't break off the fake gas cap on this one.
Wait until you get about 1000 miles and everything is really starting to work well. I couldn't believe the change in power once broke in. It could be my imagination but i swear i could feel the difference when it was broken in.
Congrats on the beautiful new ride. Enjoy and don't ride faster than your angels can fly.
Behold! Our champion arises! So pumped to see more of this bike. Everything on it looks great except for the bars. I'm with Flip, don't like the riser trend nowadays. Black mini apes at the same height would be way better. Keep the great content coming!!!!
Grease Rat : Like the sign says, "speed's just a question of money. How fast you wanna go?" (Mad Max, 1979)
Wow awesome guys/gals at Berts.
Shadetree steppin up in the world
3 months from now, a collar shirt, 6 months a sports coat,9 months chinos 12 months the beard is gone, Shadetree transformation 😂haha I know you'll never change, which is good.
“It just started raining OUTSIDE” 😂😂😂
I couldn’t agree more. The Road King is the iconic Harley Davidson Motorcycle. You have the bonus model with that bad boy 131” 10 plus yards of American V Twin Power. 😎😎😎
I like the bike, but the fairing and bars just aren't my style. That engine is bad ass though.
I believe the 131 doesnt mean ci but because it has 131 lb torque
I think it is 131 Cubic inches.
That color dragged a memory out of the old organic archive.
One of the customers on my service territory in the early 80's was the Harley plant in Tomahawk, WI.
This was where the custom parts for folks like, oh, Elvis were made.
I was the first ordinary Joe to see Malcom Forbes' custom one off ruby metallic body parts.
Every time I visited, the plant manager was like a little kid, showing off new builds, new machines, etc.
Fun times!
Rocket 3 vs roadking kong
That's a clean Road King man, it's a tank on two wheels!
If this one is Road King Kong then your Goldwing should be Roadzilla..🤪
The road king in on point, and with the legend suspension, dang 😍. The urban street chickens always give me a laugh 🐓
Nice bike, that 131 is almost 2200 cc's, and still not as big as your rocket 3, I'll bet the rocket will take it though.
It's closer to 2100...
That Triumph Rocket 3 would get its ass handed to it if the tech at Berts HD dyno tuned,shut down the rev limiters and turned off the bikes top speed governor ,Triumph & Metric bikes dont limit their motors performance or top speed as HD does .
Levi Garrett all manufacturers limit their top speed, & the rockets engine is in a completely different class to a Harley twin, Rockets go very well standard but their power potential when modified is ... well let me just say on a different level to anything Harley . I have a good friend who owns & runs a motorcycle tune up / mechanical upgrade shop , he has literally hundreds of bikes Dyno results , Rockets are in a class of their own
@@peterchown1552 Sorry pal but " all manufacturers do not " limit top speed ,both of my Hondas are NOT fitted with factory rev limiters,nor are they fitted with max
speed governors coded into ECM's ,matter of fact,now that i think about my past bikes my gen 1 Busa wasnt coded with rev limiters or max speed governor in its ECM,so much for that .
Levi Garrett yeah ok sweeping statement, but most modern large capacity bikes are limited in some way. What I was really trying to say was harleys are generally the lowest performing bikes you can buy & to suggest this is due to limiters is insane.
the year i bought my 1st harel it rained every day that season. My 1st ride i got 50 miles from home and it started down pouring. the road was like driving in a creek. i still put 200 miles on it. i had a rain suit but i was soaked when i got home.
Loved the quick iron pony reference. Only real Ohio boys heard that one 🤣
The evil laugh from flip is the best part!!!
Finally a “stock” HD that can outrun the Indian Challenger...
You can always find the bar from the back parking lot because they always use an empty beer keg to prop the door open.
100% agree with your definition of "A motorcycle". No gizmos, gadgets, or soon to be antiquated tech platforms. After 20 years on RGs and SGs, I got tired of the tech. DISTRACTIONS! All I need is a speedo and I don't even need that. Sweet ride man.
Nice! And no fake gas caps for you to twist off....priceless!
What a beauty. Didnt think it could look much better than it was but damn, its bad ass now.
That bike is amazing!!! The road king special was my favorite Harley already but this is perfection!
You scored SHADETREE ! YOU BE STYLING NOW .
Just seems like a genuine dude enjoying life, my favorite TH-cam... er Helly ya
Love that Flip snatched from ya and done a mini review, love yaz content!
L.A. style fairing and bars with a 131 power plant. I imagine you holding on with your feet flailing in the wind behind you like some type of weird super hero minus the cape. You have the extremes of a comfortable classic to a CVO Road King, nice perks of success, enjoy 😊
Josh I'm glad to see the bars are back open in Florida! Your working All right.
Enjoy! I Put a 131 in my Electra glide, front wheel comes up a little when you start banging through the gears. It’s a good time
Sweet!!!!!!!!! Bert's treats you pretty good. Great looking bike.DON'T FORGET THE GAS CAP.
I’ve got no complaints lol
The crusty is the best bike on this channel! Nothing like the "potato potato potato" sound of a carbed harley!
That bike looks like complete awesomeness. Motor work and suspension. A man I can identify with.
I’ve picked up maybe 8 new bikes since my first BRAND NEW bike in 2005 and it rained on me for every bike. Must be good luck cuz I’m still breathing at my extreme old age!! Always great video my weird little brother!
Hah! I’ll take it
That is pretty dope that you tell what you believe and they stand behind the project and do it again keep it moving
Great video 👍🏻, a righteous RK for sure, it was cool seeing her in person this weekend at the Shame. Thanks again for the beer! You’re right about the staff at Bert’s, SUPER friendly people, huge inventory, cigars and FREE beer! I told them Shadetree sent me, then spent a bunch of $$ on apparel, all things good ✌️
Glad I got to meet ya man, stop by any time!!
I like the road King for the same reasons you do. Simple is better for me. I want to hear my bike not a radio. If I want a radio I'll drive a cage. I know you are going to have a blast on that bike, I know I would!! Be good and be safe!!
That red is so dang niiiiiice, oxblood red is best red.
"We got motor, we got suspension and shut up." I'd just add stonkin brakes to that list
Sweet Road King. Sorta reminds me of the red HD bike that Arnold rode in Terminator 1.
T-Bar and faring look spectacular
The remote reservoirs for the rear shocks look like either rocket engines or warp nacelles from the Starship Enterprise. As if it needs any more help hitting warp speed!
I'd tell people its whistle tips, ha.
@@pyrolysis2129 The whistles go WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Look’s great always was road king fan, thanks for sharing. Hope my 19 H-D-Tri-Gilde is still there....running from hurricane Laura we live in Calcasieu parish dead center. I lived thru Rita guess will make it thru Laura..
Flip taking that bike was like spy versus spy🤪🦆💨🦆💨
Another bad ass comment left down below. Shadetree rocks because the gnome says so!
Hey dude came across your channel a month or two ago and your my favourate by far too many biker youtubers try act badass and grumpy all the time but your just a good guy man keep up the great videos bro
A real man goes RISERLESS on the handlebars! 131ci got my butt puckered thinking about it! Rip that puppy!!!
Niiiiice Congrats!!! You really need your own TV show. You are sooo funny bruh!!!!
I used to live 10 minutes from Iron Pony, moved to Lexington, ky last year and there's nothing that even comes close to that place here, I miss Iron Pony soo bad .lol.
Road King Kong!!! Is a legit beast!!!!! I have been waiting for you to pick that bad boy up! Can't wait for the the next videos!!
You don’t even know the happiness of listening to tunes while riding. It steps up your experience like, 6 times
Love the way Flip took off on tjat bike!
Super excited to see the videos that will be made with that giant Beast! #BRAPSTAR
Oh it's fast in any gear. Makes a 900 lb bike feel like a 300 lb bike. There is a lot of torque going to that back wheel, respect it or it will get away from you. I spun the back tire going from 4th to 5th passing cars. It's a whole lotta fun so if you can do it, go for it! Only con is that engine gets hot, especially the catalytic converter. Not the bike to get caught in traffic. The 128 and 131 Stage Kits make the same horsepower at 121 and differ in torque by a few 126/131 respectfully. You can get WAY more if you tune it right. The budget way of doing it would be buying a Road King, Street or Road Glide standard and do the 128 kit. It's all covered under warranty and extended service plan if you stick with all Harley parts.
I had a built RK back in the day. Ever seen an EVO with Edelbrock 4 valve head? I had one. Surprised more then a couple crotch rockets. Cam, Flatslide Carb, Crane Ignition. Samson. exhaust. A beast. I also ride liter bikes.
Started watxhing this with my old man, as soon as it pans up to the air intake we're both just "pwooaahh look at that beast"
Iron Pony is probably the coolest one stop shop for bikes in all of Ohio! Never, I repeat, NEVER go there on payday unless you really like eating Roman for the next two weeks lol.
The bike is my literal dream king!!!
Impressive bike. I love big engines. Just converted it. Just shy of 2,100 cc.
Hey ShadeTree you should consider adding The Road King Kong to your collection permanently. That is a very nice Harley and it fits you perfectly!!!!!
I can’t even look at Harley, I’m still heartbroken were no longer getting the Bronx they’ve been promising for two years 😩
Well, been wondering how big of a motor upgrade I wanted to do to my 05 Road King. Now, I think I'm going to be disappointed if I don't go massive like the 131! Geez!
In the words of the almighty Tim "Toolman" Taylor....
MORE POWER!!!!!!!
Congrats man! Bravo, see honesty does pay, KUDOS to Bert's!
Now they're gonna put 131cu in for softails now!
'Foul Mouthed Swamp Troll' Lovely phrase Josh. Keep up the good work.
G'day Shadetree, I have never owned a Harley in 47yrs of riding. THIS roadking is something else, thats for sure! I would gladly have this bike in my garage right next to my adv bike. Just beautiful, grunty and simplistic. What else do you need? Thanks for the ride brother.
