- Finally Done it!! Drove a round trip of over 1300 miles to get this motorcycle / Bought a 1998 Harley Davidson Electraglide Girl's Bike. Of course I'm only kidding about the girl's bike bit. But yep... I had been searching around for a while and finally found a deal on a bagger that had been very well maintained. We drove all the way just a little south of Tampa to take a look at this bike and decided to make a deal. And a successful one at that. On top of travelling this 1300 plus mile round trip to get this bike, we figured why not stop along the way say hi to the King of Weirdos (who needs to introduction) and some of his army. Shadetree Surgeon, Flip Na, and some others. Their links are down below.

Man, when Scotty hears of this you'll never hear the end of it. 😆
He told me "What in the hell are you thinking? Should have never let you ride mine."
Welcome to the club of comfort cruising. Nothing wrong with riding a lazyboy watching the world go by,
I've done 500 on a rigid( thus stopping every 70 miles🤣🤣🤣🍸, it hurts , ain't gonna lie ,I'm 60 ! 1000 On my fatboy is easy, almost same stops....
Yeah, what you said: Less bling. No EFI. Shorter windshield. Slightly taller handlebars. Delete the Foghorn Leghorn mural on the front. All good. Great bike!
97 and 98 are the best years for the evo fl! All the accessories like seats and what not fit to 2007 so you can get any seat or exhaust your heart desires. Being an evo with only 20k it will last you a lifetime. Super comfy ride too! Great deal! The prices on evos and going through the roof! Everyone is starting to figure out how amazing and simple they are.
And I love that exhaust!
Did he say what he paid for it?
He said less than 5k
Have a slightly been used 98 Dyna Super glide with the last of the Evo's , great engine design for reliability !
Great score. Evo baggers are great travelers. Your wife will be comfortable and you can roll 600 plus miles a day if you need to and not feel horrible after doing it. I recommend riding it for a while like it is (other than tires) I bet you'll end up changing less on it than you're thinking now. Old Shadetree sure is a colorful character, his channel is pretty popular.
That bike has character! Leave it alone at least for awhile.
Congrats Corey. I love it. You sure arent getting any younger. At my age, 65, I think that you made a great buy. God bless your time on the new bike.
PLEASE keep the airbrushed chicken commercial LOL. So awesome hanging man, hope to make it out your way soon!
That would epic, bro. I've got a spare room.
Shadetree what happen to Triumph chick? Haven't seen her in a while.
So awesome to see Shadetree and Flip hanging out with other motovlogers. Super awesome dudes!
@@vinnyrides I believe other pastures.
What’s up weirdo
I've got a 98 FLHTCUI for 2up riding and when the Mrs is on the back, the dynamics change and the thing becomes top heavy,and not because she is a large woman😳 not a problem when solo! Maranatha, Greetings from Tampa Florida 😎
Love both of y’all! Glad to see y’all together
Great little adventure from start to finish. Thanks Saddle Tramp.
Wow... Flip and Shadetree in the same Saddle Trap viddy? Yes please!
As someone who watches (and loves!) all three of your channels, it was great seeing everybody together in this video. Love the cross-pollination! Soooo...super-fun video! Great job snagging that E-Glide too. Hope you put many great miles behind it and have many great adventures on it :-)
When you got there, I was surprised at how nice that bike is. It`s definitely going to make a very nice ride, once you lighten it up a little. Quite a few years ago I bought a 1969 Moto Guzzi Amabassador from a non motorcycle guy out in Denver. It had belonged to his uncle who passed away. It was all farmer`ed up and once all that stuff was removed, I had a mint condition Guzzi that I enjoyed for quite a few years.Your bike will be the same way, good buy!
This video was great I felt like I was on the trip with you. Nice to see a touring bike in your garage. I am sure you and your wife will be doing a lot of trips. Ride Safe
I own a 1996 Softail and a 1997 Electraglide both great machines. I would highly recommend you pull the cam bearing and all 4 lifters. They give out and will ruin a perfectly good motor. I have seen what they can do when they give out and will tear up a great bike. Use a torrington/koyo cam bearing and S & S or Fueling lifters. Good luck with a "Mans Bike".
Sold my 02 FLSTC Tuesday and on my way to north Florida from Alabama to pick up a 1998 Fat Boy Evo. Happy to have an Evo I can work on. (09-12-20).
Right on!
This is great..my two favorite Vlog guys on your channel..Love it! You guys ride safe! God bless.
Good for you, you look so happy, and good deal , may you enjoy it in good health god bless you 😊
Hanging out with shade tree that's awesome always watch his videos to love what you do keep it up
That’s a beautiful bike. You found a true gem. Congratulations and have safe travels on it. Enjoy 👍
Similar to my '98... same classic paint/decal scheme. EVOs are great motors. You'll have a blast on that bike once you customize it to your needs/style. Good luck!
I have a 1998 EG standard, black, with carb. I bought it brand new, now has 30k miles. Added am/fm cassette, lowers, and saddle bad guards, Great bike, awesome cruiser, all stock. Good luck with yours, you will not be disappointed!
That cassette player will come in handy....grins. Nice bike to own and glad you kept it.
Hey those lights will keep you from getting ran over by cagers
Low rider Mon.
That is if you're into riding after dark in strange places, which isn't me.
I had plenty of lights on mine and still got ran over by a cager. 5 months later and I'm still not walking yet.
andrew dugan sorry to hear that
Congrtats Nice Hog! I took your advice and purchased the 2002 Lowrider n could not be Happier! Dude i love the Rooster on your new bike,It kicks but!!!
Good addition to your stable of motors! I know your wife will enjoy that ride down the road. Better put a seat belt on the passenger seat so when she falls asleep she won't fall off! The long drive I think will prove to be well worth it! Seems to be a great deal! Ride and stay safe down there in Ms!
Good deal Amigo, thanks for sharing and lookin forward to the build vids 👍🙏
Congratulations! Great find Tramp!!!!
Cant get enough of this channel.. i sit for hours watchin you buddy 🏴🇺🇸
Thanks, man!
You got to love places and people like that. America!
Great find. I'm not so into the full dresser bikes like that (I'm a Road King/Heritage guy, myself) but a low mileage Evo in such good condition? Hell yeah!
That thing reminds me of my grandmothers 63 biscayne station wagon it was painted white with flowers on it. Could take it anywhere in comfort but it had way more flash than my taste for what it was. I’ve got a hunch the chicken on the fairing is probably why I’m reminded of that car.
Nice score man
one of the best bikes Harley made. Evo engine, low vibes,5 speed, super reliable, easy 150,000mil bike just maintain it. sorry I sold my 96 FLT. if I find another Evo that's in great shape I'll buy it also. good luck and riding.
always a good vibe on this channel, keep it up.
...as a Shadetree fan also your vlog was excellent , put a smile on me dial....
Great vid...already subbed to Shadetree and his sidekick Flip, looks like you all had a great time. Enjoy the new ride, looking forward to vids of the bike.
Boy o boy...I must be looking in the wrong area for an electra glide....I'm actually looking for one from the late 60's early 70's..great find
Nice! I have a 98 electra glide standard, carb model, with 30k on her. It is is a great cruiser and I'm in no hurry to get anywhere. I bought it with 20k miles and I only made it true dual exhaust and added an air cleaner.
As Usual! great story...see you soon
You did good with this one. Great find and a great bike!
Cool bike cool deal you hangged out with those guys
Looks like the Road Glide I found in 99". Small damage to the front end so, I stripped the front faring, extended to front forks about 6 inches for the look, and stripped everything off the rear. I did a custom candy red with light grey ghost flames and 60 spokes wheels with 14' riser handle bars and braded cables. with Sampson pipes......You know....A guys bike!....Now I have a Heritage Classic I wouldn't change a thing...lol....I mean what the hell, love what you ride and have fun.
Congrats on the new bike 👍
Congrats on your girl's bike there. It's a perfect ride for eating up miles and staying on the road for extended trips. I figure a few lights need deleted and a good once over to make sure there are no gremlins hiding and then chew up those miles with the missus.
Heck yeah I'm looking for something similar to pick up this winter
AWESOME VLOG, WELL PUT TOGETHER SADLETRAMP! NOTICING YOUR SKILLS IMPROVING ON EDITING! JUST REALLY ENJOYED IT!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks, Ben
I picked up a 2012 FLHTC two years ago. Now I know why people love these.
Nothing wrong with having a dresser with the other toys.....Especially when you going to go for a long trip w/ the ol lady.....I'm looking for one myself to go along with the 82 Superglide that I custom back in 2000.. ...Great video keep the rubber side down.....
Can’t wait to see what you do to the bike. Looked like a great trip down just hangin with Flip and Shadetree. Take care and ride safe. 🤙🤟👊
Thanks, man.
That is one sweet dresser. . The lights serve a good purpose getting you seen, that’s something to consider
I had a 93 dresser and I put a switch on it so it turned off all the lights when I turn the ignition on and then I start the motor and then I’d flip the switch on and that would turn all the lights on it sure helped it start without having all the lights on. You never know what somebody has done to the gearing turned out my 93 had a 29 tooth transmission sprocket it would takeoff pretty good. I am just switching to a 34 to less RPM is on the road
hello really enjoy your video,s congrads on the bagger i think the more you ride it the better you will like it i have been riding baggers since 2001 love them keep the rubber side down my brother jimmy t myrtle beach sc
Nice buy!! I agree about all the "Bling" .....But looks like it has good bones!!
thats cool i just traded my 1998 dyna for bagger a couple of days ago my bike is set up single passenger because of an accident she had a few years ago long story short. this story short this story about you and i dig it. thanks for sharing. chris
Rode one for 30 years, can't wait to hear about it!
Good thing it's got a carb on it, congrats! I wouldn't trade it for a brand new Milwaukee 8. Be careful about the rear swing arm, they're prone for breaking along the elongated portion of the drive side. Wouldn't hurt to put FXR style adjusters on the inside of the fork tubes for reinforcement purposes. Also make a tapered spacer that covers the entire surface of the rear fork tube. Also run a MU85 Dunlop and change your fork oil every 10k miles. I run a hydraulic primary tensioner from Southern Oregon Hot Bikes (HB-125) and it makes the bike run much smoother. I've done MANY upgrades to my 1998 over the years and probably the best was swapping out the transmission to that of early twin cam internals and trap door with larger bearings on the door itself. While there I upgraded to a Baker shifter pawl and Baker drum. It shifts like butter now and I no longer hit false neutrals. The motor Company used the same shifter drum assembly dating back to 1979. In 2000 they finally improved upon it significantly however the Baker one is even more improved upon.
Thanks for the info Kenneth. Will consider.
That’s a great looking bike!👍🇺🇸
The evo motor...I always wonder to this day why Harley DIDN'T make it BIGGER better...the way after market has...great engine and easy to work on....enjoy your new ride...cant wait to see what you do with it.
I totally agree with that statement! Better yet, I'd love to have seen a GINORMOUS version of the Sportster engine!
Awesome score. 1998 was a stellar year for Harley's in the day. Congrats and looking forward to your progress. Btw was a treat to see Shadetree.
Been excited to see this video ...couldn't wait to see what you bought... insurance must be cheap there? I can barely afford one bike insurance payment here in Canadia, couldn't imagine paying on multiple bikes, especially when I have to store them 6 or so months a year...always enjoy your vids man...thanks for sharing, ride safe.
Same down here in NZ. Our main cost is registration. A car is $100 pa. A bike is closers to $1K. HDs cost about the same in NZ as they do in Canada so I end up as jealous as all hell watching these shows. Best wishes
Nice bike. Good score, you'll love it I'm sure..... I just drove to Detroit from Boston for a 98 FLHP with 7K ...Girls Bike. ... Evo's rule here too
Congrats on the new ride! 👊😎
Good video, loved middle of nowhere FL, my man has a little piece of paradise!
Wow! So cool to see MOBEEEEEL in the early stages of the trip! Ride HARD!
Congratulations Hermano, im happy for you!!
Thank you so much
Hadn't watched your video yet. Was watching Shade tree surgeon's video and he mentioned he and flip were hanging out with you. Pretty cool.
Only 20k miles?! Wow.. fantastic deal brother! If I knew I'd have rode over from Ocklawaha! (Back woods one horse town) half way between Tampa and Orlando..good locale to hit either spot for runs!
It’s a nice bike I’d leave the lights alone that way you can be seen at night . But it’s what you make it into for you. But it will be a great highway bike . Love your videos . Keep up the good work. 😬👍
Thanks, Steve. So much appreciated.
Loved the video, made me cringe that I can't afford to buy my brother's 02 Road King. I rode it this year for just a short & fell in Love! Maybe one day...
Wow man that was a great video. The bike is beautiful! Just needs a little de-blinging like you said. Very cool!
Thanks, Nick. Yeah... bling is not my thing.
Awesome bike man now to make it yours 👍 The seller seemed to be a real stand up dude really good folks.
Hey Tramp, nice deal, I love the old EVO’s, 1995 1200 here. That’s a beautiful bike, best of luck with it!
Right on, Jim. Thanks so much.
EVOs rock I rode a 1996 FLHT for 15 years ! Untill I was wanting something better . I dragged my old 91 FXR out put a fxrt fairing on it & now I won't go back ! Sold my old bagger & don't miss it ! But bagger's Dyna's & FXR' s ROCK !
Cool trip to a cool place...my one buddy I ride with has that bike and loves it...🤘
I enjoy your videos , keep up the awesome work
Thanks 👍
That's a very nice bike. Congratulations on the great deal
Nice used bike, comfort touring has its place. Ya Super Chicken is a bit cheesy. Look forward to watching you make it your own.
That opening is a great surprise! Nicely played. Flip and Shadetree Surgeon, a couple of cool cats.
I have my 1987 Electraglide for over 30 years. After a long ride you don't feel so beat up. Its been a great 140K miles.
Nice bike! Shadetree Surgeon is never short on words.
He's a character
Great bike . I would put new lifters in it and while your in there put a ev27 cam in it. Two into one exhaust wouldn't hurt, like a thunderheader. My 94 bagger didn't have 30,000 miles on it and lifter took a dump. I bought mine for $1000 with noise coming from bottom end, took it apart and found the bad lifter.
Congrats on the girlie bike and induction into the girlie club. LOL. You and the misses will enjoy the long rides. Looking forward to the nuances you put on it.
Thanks, Darren.
Have fun with her!! Shes beautiful!Thats a kool travel trailer..
Nice! Hell of a great bike find. I'd love to visit the Shame sometime. Be a haul at 1800 miles one way lol!
Full face with shades , got to be cool ! with supporting cast of characters , nice bike with lots of potential .
At 19 minutes and 30 seconds I noticed your voltage meter is not a 14 Volts...already would be thinking stator and regulator...But very nice bike, and glad you took off all the guard lights 👍
Since this video, I've installed a Cycle Electric stator and regulator.
Dude an awesome vid...big thumbs up from a Triumph rider in the UK
Just found your channel from Scotty. Seeing your trailer trip to Tampa, just in case you didn’t know that tailgate is what adds so much drag when pulling it. Take it off and carry just a ramp to load your bike. You won’t believe the difference and your fuel savings could be 30%. Really like your channel!
Thanks. I'll consider that.
Great buy
You're gonna love that bike. Leave it like it is, lights and all. Replace the battery, get new tires, and paint that fairing.
can hardly wait to see the video!
Ha ha love that intro. Congrats on the geezer glide road sofa!!
Great bike i have a 1996 ultra classic best bike ever
NICE!
Will be more so after a bunch of trimming!
Good move drummer!🧷
Great video thanks for posting always quite liked the electra glide :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video, I follow Shade Tree and Flip, have a blessed trip my friend.
I have noticed the low end torque difference between those years and the newer years. They run out of steam in the higher gears but slower speeds they have some punch. Definitely a different experience for sure. I’m sure you will enjoy it
Sheridan Isashitstain Lol... ok I will bite... I have only ridden stock evo’s and owned two, both low mileage and bone stocks. I have had 5 twin cams of various sizes and one M8. Not sure what you are getting at but I assume you know more than me.
Sheridan Isashitstain a lot
You keep that bike stock now. Just ask scooter tramp scotty, he'll tell ya
In Australia the FLHS after 92 come with a 61 rear sprocket whick keeps the bike on the boil a bit better at cruising speeds.
I did 100 K on mine bog stock traveling around Australia and it was fine as a cruiser.
Man Saddle Tramp you got one heck of a Deal. That is one nice Scoot you Bought.
congrats on the new bike! Nice bike!
Nice bike ST looks good great deal on it and just broke in enjoy it
I almost caked my britches when I saw mr. tree surgeon doing your intro
Lol.... Glad it did something for you
Mate, I'm the owner of two stripped down bikes and I love what you bought. Change your cockpit, sure, but leave the accessories. Good to have variation. Sweet looking bike.
Thanks, Mate
