This video serves as a documentation of craft that this a dying bread, the small business. It is wonderful to see a man that thrives in the "small batch" business model; every product that leaves his shop goes through his hands and his hands only. Elvis lives and breaths Harley and specifically FXRs. He has given his life to creating the world that is Elvis' Place, working 24/7 (almost literally). The process which he employs of serving the public openly and honestly can remind us of the roots of what this country was founded on: Hard Work, Entrepreneurship, and Passion.

I've bought parts from Elvis. He's great to work with and a man of his word. Yes his stuff costs, but when you need it and they don't make it no more… you know the story.
Great Philosophy. Thanks for sharing it.
i love that you sell what you ride. love fxr's and sporty's
$600 for a FXR seat hinge and clip, yes thats right, a disgrace, ripping people off is one thing, trying to say you are there to help people is a massive piss take.
ENJOYED THE VIDEO!
Hellz yeah great video... 210TX..😃
Thanks nice vid from working man...👍🏽
I'm going to log this info in my desktop, I just bought a 'new' Harley 2004 Sportster, it's new to me. On to what you were saying about "Paid Vacations", hourly wages, etc; The only way I've ever gotten a vacation is to quit my job. I resorted to working flat Commission, hourly sucks. The harder I work the more money I make. I like your channel, enough to subscribe, leave a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell. Thanks for sharing.
Look's cool! A true businessman.
I love my 93' FXLR ... but I sure do miss my 2000 R6!
Hello from Montana. Thanks for the video. I'll check you out when I need parts for the old 87. Good luck to you.
I had fun watching the video
Fxr's Forever.Respect
Great video brother. I will purchasing my first FXR after the New Year. I will go through you for all the shit I need.
FTW
Cheers from So.Cal.
I just bought an fxrt fairing for 50 bucks I'll take 3000 seriously Haha. Props man its buisness
my first harley was a fxr. it came with 1340cc shovelheadengine.
that's what i got 82
It's his stuff, if he wants to ask a certain price for it it's his choice...just like it's your choice to either buy or not buy or look elsewhere. It's called America...freedom of choice. Please don't fault the man for working hard at building something. Be happy he is doing something for all of us to keep on enjoying the beloved Harley FXR.
+1 Good comments! Some people may sell over-priced merchandise, but many, many more peddle over-opinionated balderdash.
I can't believe the prices he sells parts for !... he is not helping out the real bikers out there !... I'm in Detroit I have one of the biggest fxr parts places around and I don't charge ridiculous prices like I see on his website !...
the mighty fxr! ive had my 1988 fxlr since 1989 wouldnt sell it for the world.
Can't turn a wrench but can sure over price his shit on eBay, now that's his idea
of being talented?
Would you do what he does, with the hours he puts in, for less?
We all have choices in life. I'm retired, own my own home and just pay utilities, property taxes and gas and have been riding the fuck out of my Harley's for over 40 yrs. I do sell a few Bagger parts on ebay but always start out at $9.99 no matter what it is, and if it sells for 10 bucks oh well... His shit is still way over priced.
@@RoadKen53 sounds like old Ken doesn't need to make money anymore... Congratulations Ken... I'm FAR away from the word "retirement"... if ever it comes at all. By the way Ken, I'm guessing you didn't work for FREE.... did you??
Somebody must buy his stuff
stuff is worth what someone will pay for it. People must be paying it for it. FXR parts not easy to find .
A better name should be.. "CROOKS INC"
Howdy "E",
I don't know how l o n g that I have been buying PARTS from you --- but --- I started a while ago
My 1st BIG V-Twin was an EVO 1985 FXRP ...
I beLIEve that I read an article about you in one of the national Bike Magazines ...
I remember that I purchased a lot of the PARTS off of that bike
when you changed you idea of what YOU wanted it to be
Gas Tank, Rear Fender, most everything that I needed except the FRAME, ENGINE, & Transmission
I'm not a QUANTITY Buyer - but - SURELY appreciate you when I need my FXR or DYNA Parts
THANKS for WHAT You DO ...

The top 👌
very good !!
say what you will, he's got the stuff if you got the cash, your free to find it for less like he did so don't gripe about the $$$$
Schools teach the entire class the same way and at the pace of the slowest student, they can bore you to death even in a subject you really like.
You are an example of the American businessman with fighting spirit and resolve. Don't let those haters get to you, if they cant afford your prices then they fuck off or die. Most likely these haters will never have the balls to do what you have done!
Excellent video and nice setup you have, hard work and fair play goes a long ways. Believe me, when I was a kid bagging groceries I listened to this same crying shit I'm reading in this comment section everyday lol. Only difference is instead of old ladies its whining self proclaimed bad ass Harley riders. lol Keep rolling and thanks for the video! Thumbs up!
thanks Gerald... agreed.
keep up the good work
good to watch
Good man. All the best to him! 👍
got a 83 shovel fxr basket, built it from the bottom up, heat cycled a few times, been sitting a couple years, still fires right up, haven't ridden it yet hahaha, got 4 shovels and 6 ironheads, do I have a sickness?
yes big time
Great philosophy, but I do the FLs.
I'm trying to build a shovel top on a pan lower end. I think Elvis place can help me
It's not that difficult at all. Harley made them factory for 3 years.
I do not k now this guy personally, so I cannot comment his character. But would I buy from him? NOT A CHANCE. His prices on second hand FXR parts are nothing but a rip off. Absolute ridiculous prices. He should hang is head in shame.
I don't begrudge him asking a premium for his parts because that's how economics works. But if I were looking for FXR parts I would exhaust all the other avenues before I bought from him because..... that's how economics works.
exactly
TOUGH FUCKING WORLD!
Does he have a web site
As I’m from the uk and have a fxrs and need parts
What’s this video about except your self?. You have done nothing different to most other self employed people?
Look, I admire a person who works hard BUT his prices are outrageous. He just about cornered the fxr market and feels like he is the shit. I sent him a msg about his prices and I received a sarcastic letter back. I always try to support the independent shops but only fair people
If you have a man bun? you never seen a real Harley.
Your dogs not ugly....lol
$700 trap door cover 🤣
89 fxr is in need of some help . Shit , I started at $1.75 hrs. Trim . Do you do how to ? Revtek 10 prowler 6 speed durl disk front-end. Bla bla bla . Having short problems at the breaker
Elvis, Ur right on with the wise for youth. Bro ride my FXR hard in Detroit ole '85'. I would like to hear back from you and build a friendship. We can talk more when I hear from you. 'RIDE WITH PRIDE" FreeWheelers M/C Detroit 'GUIDO'
He is a thief. Do not but his inflated prices. Ebays biggest rip off merchant.
Why are there so many sad, unhappy, unfortunate humans on this planet? Huh... 99.7% positive and a "thief". Dumbass. Here is a direct link to my eBay feedback... for anyone that really cares; www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/elvis_place-hdparts …. now I've got to get back to work. Good Day.
@@fxrking whatever douchebag....
you said you have been working 7 days a week for 37 years because you need money for your toys. If your working all the time when do you enjoy them ?
+austin p *you're
I used to enjoy riding... a LOT, austin p... with 4 trips out to Sturgis and back, multiple trips to the Love Ride in LA, Hollister, Laughlin, etc.... but we just had a Granddaughter enter the picture.... so this 50 year old has gone and slowed way down. Also, "working 7 days a week" doesn't mean constantly swinging a hammer... it means that I'm constantly trying to figure out a way to pay next month's bills... and move forward in life. It's not always easy but needs to be thought about constantly.
hey elvis i have lots of parts i can sale you. i respect that you do this.
Thanks Dennis, but I'm doing my best not to acquire any more inventory. I would suggest eBay or a local swap meet.
@@fxrking I have a lightbulb I will sell you How does $5,000 sound?
I disagree with the opening thought. I learned how good getting great money was at 18 15$ an hour my first jib. And I worked dry hard for it. And I starve and am hungry for more and I push myself to make more money each job I get.
The rattling off of shit he has to do to run his business was hilarious 😆...no shit dude! You have your own business...Yes! You have to do all of that shit??? Well done Captain Obvious😆
You keep doing your thing E' f@#k the Haters.

are you only online? do you have a store in the bay area i live in oakland and i am looking for mid controls for my 1985 FXR
@@patrickgibbons3469 yes sir, my store is a self-serve site for anyone inside the US --> www.elvisplace.com ... I hope you find exactly what you're looking for. I do not have a storefront for customers. I tried that once. It was a mistake.
he can sell his parts for whatever he wants if u got something from him and found it cheaper later on tough shit
Oh I think if you want a part and it's pristine you pay the money.
So many people fucked up there FXRs. That's why they're the money bike. That includes letting them sit in the rain, neglect, poor maintenance, and rank modifications.
"Iron American Dream" on TH-cam
You can just ride the stock bike like an asshole.
Not sure how this guy sleeps at night . Just a dishonest person who scams others . If there is a such thing as karma his day will come. Very sad individual.
explain.... u cant just attack someones character and then leave it blank... what a businessman is dishonest ? no ! you must be a socialist who believes everything should be free without markup.. wow no explanation just a dumbass comment from a nobody
Well said and thanks, +thesnodude5150 ... have heard nothing but negativity from that sad human.
I think my rare FXR light bulb is easily worth $6,000.
This guy doesn't thinks it's a good way of life to work harder than others for less. XD
Yes folks..he is very expensive..But he has it and you dont..Pay up or play else where...
