I love it! That slow motion and bell chime just before it kicks over... Priceless! Then it sounds amazing! We are in the process of rebuilding my father's 70's style chopper. It started life as a 1963 Duo Glide but he chopped it after an accident in the last 60's. It hasn't run since the mid 80's but we should have it back on the road in the spring.
In my opinion, the best looking Harley motor is the Panhead, best running is the EVO, but the very best sounding Harley motor is by far the big twin Shovelheads. Well done mam.
@@davidmaclane5487 NOT MINE, the shovel is the last of the real metal engines,the evolution was a advertising ploy,and they got cheaper as they progressed,gear driven,abuse taking sobs,you gotta put up with a little reality to enjoy the sound of real,own one find out
@@davidmaclane5487 - To me it sounds like the Wright R-1820 nine cylinder radial engines I worked on in the Navy. US-2B Tracker with the NARU - Naval Air Reserve Unit, Naval Air Station Memphis TN.
@@mypronounismaster4450 nothing my point is the gear driven engines are best,the gear whine is better than the late chain driven bikes,chains wear,then chains wear the parts,fact
I had a '78 1/2 FX Glide that came with a learning curve, after which kick-starting wasn't an issue. It was an AMFer, of course, but it never leaked oil and I never had anything beyond routine maintenance issues that go with time and miles
Obviously, I understand why people would want a starter. But an old skool kicker is just so awesome. Then you get rewarded with that sweet shovelhead soundtrack. Like a choir singing "Halleluyah"
I"m not a big guy,5-9",175.I rode a 1982 shovel,hardtail,wide glide for 12 years.I had kick & electric start,it was a "Stroker motor,S&S internals.Cold,2 kicks everytime.Warm,maybe 1 or 2,if I F"d it up,maybe 12.The thing that alway"s gets me is how they alway"s get on the right side of the bike and come down on that kick starter with all they got,totally unnecessary,that"s all "drama".I was alway"s asked"how can you ride a rigid?,that thing must kill you."No again,you just have to learn to relax"Went on many long runs and listened to "Softtail riders whining about their backs,my answer,"Nothing rides like a hardtail"!
You're welcome. I've built and ridden choppers since the 1960s. I don't ride anymore. For me, people who drive in America don't care about how they drive these days. I don't build bikes anymore -- it's too expensive. Ride safe.
From the 60s to the 80s a sporty tank on a chopper was pretty standard. You lose close to 20 lbs of tippy top heavy weight compared to a split tank and dash, a couple of potential fuel leaks, and the hassle of the split tank mount installation if you alter the backbone. Besides, it gave you an excuse to stop for a beer every hour or so, lol
Yeah it is less ergonomic but we do it for pure looks. You are both negative minded and lack basic perception. Body weight is centered over the kicker providing the most kick power. Guess you did not notice he is putting his full body weight on the kicker. Anyway, Ever see someone start a Yamaha XT/TT500? I have heard way more injury stories from those and BSA 441's and B50's than any Harley. Welcome to the world...please drive thru.
Интересно нужно ли американцам говорить что холостой ход никто не дрочит вот так, его один раз настраивают и только зимой чуть выше делают, а они чуть ли не в каждом видике про эти чопперы их теребят
Had stock keihnin on my FLH for years and years. Great carb if ya tweak it right. Years later I threw an S&S shorty E which is still on and never have a prob kickin it over. Been using the same sequence since. Maybe I've been lucky...
There is a reason & there will be reasons, more than just one, everyone will say this is how your meant to do & so on. Type in how to kick start shovelled at the top & do a search. I think you have to crank it a couple of times before you, turn the petrol on & pull the chock out & then you crank it again & it should start, thats what pick up from watching or something like this.

3 years later. Did it happen? Is the bike on the road again?
Shovelhead and evo are my favorite sounding bikes/engines, i could fall asleep listening.

Not lied about those evos damn things were bulletproof
I kicked and kicked for years. These days the worst thing that will happen is a sore thumb! Can't beat the sound of a shovel!
It still sounds like an irrigation pump engine

Love the sound of an old shovel
Thank you for your comment
had one just like it back in 1971, love it

can't beat that shovelhead sound.
The purple looks great. Sounding just as good

Mark Runyon Thank you.
"potato potato potato...."ahhhhhh I love my Troublehead.
I have a 76 shovelhead.It a nightmare to get started.
I thought the video was too short, I can listen to that idle all day........
cool👍
Such a cool bike! Mad props to the owner of this bad girl!
I NEVER started my panhead like this. I always straddled the bike, so I could catch it, if the kickstand folded up…which it did on rare occasions.
sounds and looks like a perfect runner
cool👍
A very clean shovel here. The right combination of fork and frame. And its got a front binder. It reminds me of my pan/shovel.
Simple is beautiful
Awesome ! I like the slo-mo effect for the final kick !
Yes, the slomo is great!
I agree! Super nice touch. Having grown up with kickstarting, I appreciate this guy's skill.
And the little ring of a tiny magic bell.
I just love the sound of those old Harleys. They sound sooo beeefy !!!
The gloves ❤
Good Stuff...Very Nice!!!! - 👍
Thanks
All what I needed to learn with my Shovelhead's kick, was tactic.
And because I have weight and power in my legs enough, it's very easy for me.
He didn't just start her. He woke her up. People that don't "get it" never will.
Good sounding Shovelhead.
That piece of shit , must be a joy to ride, with that hard tail frame and that old vibrating Shovel motor!
A real motorcycle no chrome left just fuck n ride like you stollit 🤣👍
Those fancy leather pants are like the icing on the cake.
now thats a bike.
Purple was a very popular color on choppers in the 60's it represented psychedelics.
For all you that don't know any better... that's a REAL bike!!! 81 for life!
Old and don't need to go that fast, nothing beats a early Harley. Not picking or choosing, but my Shovelhead ain't going nowhere.
Feel the same about my shovel.
Brings back memories of hardtail chopper days, now, have to be a softail man, cruising......
Giddy up giddy up giddy up love the sound of a shovel
Saw a 100 lb woman start an 80 inch flathead at lake tahoe with one kick, shut the guys up making comments
Man I miss my 76 FXE. Had both electric and kick start but most times I used the kicker
man sweet bike. I hear a distinct knock in the motor and a definite clack. better have that checked out .
Thank you
I even like the sounds it makes before it starts
What for f...ing gloves are you wearing? Leather pants, Haaarmmmy coat, and white gloves! Lololol such a badass!
Kicking a shovel is easy... set choke turn key ..find compression stroke ... and boot it
Fine job! that is one heck of a cool bike.
RAT BIKE !!!
Looks and sounds real good.
Thats sounds great...
I have an 84 harley fxrs first of the evo engines..
Love the sound of a shovel though

Love it! Sounds so cool! Looks so cool!!
Do those engines have a compression relief switch or something like that to use when kicking it over?
Not as original equipment. But when properly tuned(which isn't hard to do), AND you learn your scoots sequence, kicking them over is a pleasure.
Wow you really gave it the white glove treatment!
Now that's a real Harley Davidson anything from a knuckle head to a shovel this new shit they got out now ain't nothing Harley about it
I put my left knee on the seat and then kick with the right leg. Much less exhausting. Been kicking for 30 years.
Nothing like the stcado of a 92in shovel with 40in drags going through the gears...
And what God created was good.
Seems like a small gas tank. Dope though something different. The slo mo kick was fucking sick
Thats is the business right there brother!!!....kickstart,...real bikes!
The power is in dem cow hide pants.
No, this is horse hide pants.
@@fxe1982 OK then....horse hide pants....
Boy that looks like it'll wear you out fast.
Sweet ride bro...
Check out that fuel tank - a ONE gallon ?
It's 2.25 gal. Thank you.
thanks for bringing back memories
Memories.
Wish I never sold my 79' Shovel. Those look like Vanson leather pants?
Thats the lope we love. Iron American Dream youtube.
I see that you parted with your shovel. what do you ride now?
My 82flh ain't got no kickstart.....but Iam ok with that.....yours looks loved
I don't think it's a comfy saddle. With big butt, narrow saddle to lean back.
Maaan what are you wearing?? Nice bike though
I miss my shovel...👍
What kind of oil pressure does it have at that low rpm?
They are designed to idle low and that's not even low idle for a shovel
Idling at 950 rpms - probably right around 20lbs per sq. inch.
On cold day, with SAE60, probably 60psi. Till it warms up,
Good old shovelhead!!
15 less kicks than most shovelhead videos I've seen ,I'll give it that .
Stroked?
Jesus that fuel tank seems way too small for that bike
From the 60s to the 80s a sporty tank on a chopper was pretty standard. You lose close to 20 lbs of tippy top heavy weight compared to a split tank and dash, a couple of potential fuel leaks, and the hassle of the split tank mount installation if you alter the backbone.

Can someone tell me why people don’t straddle the bike when kickstarting a Harley
Your dead rite I think that they think it’s cool but it’s actually dumb
Yeah it is less ergonomic but we do it for pure looks. You are both negative minded and lack basic perception. Body weight is centered over the kicker providing the most kick power. Guess you did not notice he is putting his full body weight on the kicker. Anyway, Ever see someone start a Yamaha XT/TT500?

Gorgeous
Wear any leather jackets?? Levi's jeans or leather chaps??
Just like a ballerina
stupendo !!! splendido sound !!!
i have a 1972 Harley Davidson 900 sportster chopper 7 foot springer front end my grandpa gave me my first bike and I have a 1988 Suzuki gsx600f katana
Cant get that sound outta a twin cam!!
That fuel tank size looks like a water bottle for such a big bike
That's plenty of fuel. Probably a 70 mile range. It's not a Touring bike.
It is a fuel bottle holder

Anyone.no.the.secrh.an.rake.of.the.frame,and make.of.frame.?
Nice bike ❤
Thank you, I appreciate your comment!
i didnt know 82's came with kick start
my Sporty82 is electric start
\but my72 is kick
Some have both my 76 has both
Not 1982 except for the engine
all you need is a bike in a good shape
Chopper Dave's air cleaner! Fuck Yeah!!! Nice scooter!
I will do my best to try to kick start any Honda.
Cool beans
just like my first bike 57 Pan
Looks like you park it in tub salt water. Lots of rust
Sweet.
Don't try and kick it with a S&S you'll flood it and it will never start. Mine had a flat slide mikuni first or second kick.
Had stock keihnin on my FLH for years and years. Great carb if ya tweak it right. Years later I threw an S&S shorty E which is still on and never have a prob kickin it over. Been using the same sequence since. Maybe I've been lucky...
Very nice!
Every Harley video I see someone is trying to kick start this same way, is there a reason for that?
There is a reason & there will be reasons, more than just one, everyone will say this is how your meant to do & so on. Type in how to kick start shovelled at the top & do a search. I think you have to crank it a couple of times before you, turn the petrol on & pull the chock out & then you crank it again & it should start, thats what pick up from watching or something like this.
You'll likely find the reason in the comments, there are tons of videos.
TUNE IT UP CHECK THE PLUGS
BEAST
Ian Mangham Thank you.
Runs sweet
Ian Mangham Thank you.
Cool bike
It sounds like a lawn tractor
You sound like a clown shoe 😜
Where did you get those pants?
sounds like lawn mower
