Man, she’s perfect. This brings back great memories when only real bikers road Harley’s. Before the yuppie’s started buying Harley’s just to be cool. Back when you had to know how to work on your bike when you took to the highway. You did an amazing job on bringing her back to life. Ride Safe.
Nice! Particularly the turbine wheels! They are the coolest alloys around!
Nice shovel, it looks and sounds great. It was actually nice to see a video done on some of the roads I ride all the time. There are a whole lotta bumps on that section of the Sprain from 287 up to Hawthorne but its a good ride in spite of them. Thanks for the show and tell !
What a beautiful FL - nicely done!!! :)
I have an 81 flh electra glide heritage same wheels you have lowered, hydra glide front end it was a peas and carrots buy back model only 784 made in 81. It looks alot like yours only satin black both are beauties yours is just right mines close even have the same seat ! Thanks for the video my frame engine and trans are numbers matching but the orange and green paint as well as the big seat and bags all gone Thanks again
What a great bike & Video !!! Luv the part of you riding down the Hi-way. !!!
Just awesome !!!! TY Sir !! You are a great rider as well !!! 😎👍🙏💕
Just saw this video. I have a very stock 1979 80cu sitting in my living room on Medford L.I. Make me a offer. Clean title. Plus those hard to find mag wheels.
Nice shitty pot hole roads. 75 miles, has a good chiropractor.
What kind of Clutch do you have, my 1980 flh finding neutral is impossible.
Stock 5 finger. Mostly okay finding neutral, it's easier to roll into it than find it at a dead stop, definitely does have it's moments.
Great video. Could you send me or post TR's contact info? I'd like to ask him about doing some work to a vintage HD. Thanks
Can I send privately. I'm not sure how to do that on YT.
just off the assembly line
I have always luved the FLH just a beautiful machine!
Now that is sweet👍S&S make superior repro parts, carbs and whole engines. If I was doing a rebuild I’d use their Pan in a second. I think they do a knuck as well. Ahh that sound and no kick( I’m old and can’t kick like I used to). From what I hear runs nice and smooth as well👍
Oh my, she’s a beauty! I love this bike! Beautiful job!!!

Beautiful ride
Thanks again for sharing and the ride😁
She's a freight train with that five speed. I'll bet she moves.
Im not a fan of the fl but I love that one thanks for sharing about the B cam, I want to run one but it's only a 74 with 9.0 wiesco pistons
I'm glad you said it is actually a BSA. 😁 A splendid motorbike.
looks good i have a 76 flh that looks similar orig paint
Hey man beautiful bike. I also have a 79. Would love to put the same forward control and floorboards on it do you have any information about them? Or where I could pick them up? Appreciate your time thanks
Nice bikes !! Ride on brother's !!!
A super bike (an Harley Davidson for sure) a road the sun life's good 🤘
nuthin' sounds like a shovel!!!
Beautiful bike friend from a fellow Shovelhead owner in Oz...
These are definitely one of the best looking bikes ever made only thing i don't like is being well over 6ft tall myself they seem to be made for guys under 6ft.
I'm over 6 ft and it helps if you install the old style buddy seat. It's quite a bit taller and takes the strain off your legs.
Absolutely gorgeous,,,, he f my favorite,
Nice job on shovel I built a 93 inch shovel I love mine. Again good job ride on Nick.
Damn Nice FLH real sweet👍
TR i'm in search of a bike similar can you be of any help
so beautiful!
Don't get me wrong it's a beautiful bike but what part of the motorcycle is still Harley? With all the mods it sounds like it's an S&S instead of a Harley-Davidson. Keep'em stock! Especially vintage beauties like this one.
I have the 81 FLH. Looks identical to this - same rims and all (Your engine is a little cleaner!) Great work - hope it's still on the road!
How do you like the b grind ?
Got one in my stock 74. Not much difference from the stock cam ...?.was told it'd be an upgrade..shit I don't know
Oh yeah., fkn cool machine btw
She's a beauty
Nice save and rebuild. The seat on the frame appears not too smooth.
Thank you. the seat is a little harsh but I think the video made it look worse than it is because of the quality of the roads. I changed the bike around a bit and put on a pogo seat. Check out there second video th-cam.com/video/vVW6SdGG5Jc/w-d-xo.html
Greetings from oregon brothers grew up on pans and shovels my fav was 1980 80 made Sturges twice miss it now riding 1990 heritage softail love em
1979 with 80'' ? to my knowledge the 80'' came in 1980 and the last 74'' were also in 1980
Nope. 1978 was the first year of the 80, produced simultaneously with the "74ci until 1981.
@@vincentlawler3033 Thanks
CLONE😂😂😂
Ol shovel purrs like a kitten,glad you did a video that shows that bike doing what it was built to do which is go down the rode ,I just purchased a 77 electraglide 100 percent original and bone stock ,I like riding it way better than my fat boy, also I absolutely agree that is the best looking front-end on any bike .sir great video but I must ask if you can send me some info on the engine builder.thanks from western NC
The FLH is a beauty, but my heart lies with the T160. I’m just up the road in Putnam Valley, do you have anything for sale?
Ian. That black Trident is on Craigs List right now. Have a look at it and reach out to TR. He’s more than happy to talk to you. Search Triumph Trident New York.
Thanks, will do.
Boss Hawg .
Do you have a contact for TRs garage?? Need a shovel redone
Hey Blaine. TR and I just mess about with old bikes to amuse ourselves and he is a great mechanic who knows a lot about older bikes but there's no professional shop.
Ive been hearing horror stories about S&S the last few years. Something is not right at that company.
Nice bike! Did you have to drill holes on rear fender to install new seat?
Lot of work, time and money, but worth it
Very cool. I have a 73.5 FLH with 5200 original miles. I would love to collaborate with you about its restoration
hey Valentino, what did you have in mind?
Awesome bike very nice
Got a 77 in the garage , beautiful ride
The seat on frame ,,, ouch .
Great content,Sir.
I love this bike. Can it be bought?
Thanks but not right t now. Maybe at the end of summer if I move onto something else.
@@vincentlawler3033 please stay in touch with me concerning this. Thank you - be safe and happy Shoveling. 😎👍🏽
Great Job ❤️👍🇺🇸
What a sweeet bike

Asking price for the FLH?
I actually bought the bike from TR. I am making a few changes and plan on riding it through the summer at least. Might sell after that. Thanks.
I have every opinion for that same bike including buddy seat plus stock seat. Wind fareing radio completely stock Dresser.
one of the worst years for Harley.. AMF.
The new bikes are alot better.
It's a beautiful machine and appears to be a top quality restoration, but that seems like alot of money to sink into a bike from that era to resell.
Also, the five speed tranny will, in the long run, devalue the bike as a collectable.
Still in all, you do some exceptionally nice work.
It's obviously not a restoration. We said we're the Buy High Sell Low Club. We build these old bikes for fun and to ride. It''s not realistic for anybody to expect to get their money back. We just repainted it and made a few cosmetic changes, looks even better now. I'll post a new video soon.
Labor of love ,I love the classics they are rich in character 👍
