1st year for electric start was 65, A 69 was a shovelhead not a pan. The 69 was the last year of the generator bottom end.
Learn some company history
Thanks for the history lesson but 99% of who's reading this don't understand what your saying
Yes 65 was the 1st year for electric start and the last year of the panhead the model changed from Duo Glide to Electra Glide
My grandpa had 1968 FLH. Looked exactly like this bike except without the fairing of course. Beautiful bike! I hope to own one
My brother in law has a late model Street Glide® and was always bugging me to ride my decked out '72 FLHP.
I told him it would ride and handle like a shot up, crippled B17 bomber trying to make it back to the airfield on one engine, and would require his full attention to ride it, especially with the stock push/pull throttle setup on it.
When he finally got up the nerve, he rode it around the block and brought it back.
He was white in the face and asked me how I'd survived riding it for the past 35yrs.
They don't make em like they used to.
The bikes or the men.
I just bought one. (#844) with 3,336 miles. In mint shape. And all options for $20k. Will ride it some, but it's investment. The M8 114. Great torque.
This bike is absolutely stunning.
What’s the difference between standard model? Based on my views, extra chromed parts and $10K more
In true Harley-Davidson style, strip off about 3 thousand dollars of accessories and charge more money. It’s a beautiful bike but I wouldn’t pay more than 22k for it. Maybe they’ll also offer a ‘57 Sporty, hopefully priced more affordable.
Harley should have been smart enuff to do this first....th-cam.com/video/Yzdb3icgRPw/w-d-xo.html
@@matrox thank you so much for sharing this video with me. That’s absolutely amazing what he’s done with that. Hopefully we’ll see this kit on the market or perhaps a complete build.
It's a nice bike but they should have put the speedo on the dash, and the gas caps on the tank to make it truer to form.
Good point! I'd agree with you on that. I think the rear end looks dull. Could've done a better job out back
Thats why I love my 72 flh!
Thanks guys for this review. I have been waiting for such review since I first time saw this bike. Although being “only” 5.9, I prefer such seating position....
it's a beauty. my first hd was a 1980 blue electra-glide with the comfort flex seat. if i had the money i would get one of these.
Great looking bike; classic retro. Would love to have one of these, but I'm not going to pay the premium for it.
1965 was the last year for the Panhead. Get a clue.
Love your video love your in-depth look thank you I just put a deposit on one and looking forward to riding it
It is a pretty bike.
purchased a 2021 road glide in January. no one told me this was coming. just like the 06 street glide came with OUT all the up grades the 07 did.
On the bike height: it shouldn't be a problem. I'm 5'11"with a 32 inseam and I ride a 2009 Road King Police bike with the air bladder seat. I'm sitting as high as that bike and I have no trouble controlling it or handling it. Then again, my slow speed skills are excellent, but honestly, everyone should be working on their slow speed skills!
...was für ein schönes Bike!!! :-)
Electric Start 1965!!
Great video! We bought #411 and #1182. I ordered a new seat bracket, which I am re-engineering to bring the seat to the rear an inch and drop it 1.5 to 2". Might have to make an extension for the seat rails or just remake them altogether...but it will be done. Need to get a little lower without modifying the suspension.
Hey Warren. Any luck with the new bracket and lowering it? First I put Legend shocks on the back to lower it but it didnt work. I am 5’8” and I had to put a lower reg harley touring seat. Did you get the bracket? Did it work? Any help would be great. Dont bother changing to new shocks esp air ride shocks from Harley. it doesnt work. I could have saved $1500 not having those Legend shocks installed Thanks Rich
@@vegasbulldogs5234 Hi Rich, in the process of moving but yes I got the new bracket. Gonna involve cutting and lengthening a bit. But I haven’t work it all out. When I do I will make sure I make more than one of the pieces.
Are you on our FB group?
Can you get it with a buddy seat?
ah yes the 69 pan. best bike ever!
Harley should make an special edition of the 1965 and 60 model The 60s glide design was unique.
Harley Davidson…… you don’t make any sense!! You finally build something true Harley owners would want, but only build 1500 of them (globally!) and the price it so no one could afford it. RIP Harley.
I will stay with my 64 duo glide !
The Harley dealer in my area wants $5000 over MSRP for this bike. Which means it will cost over $39000 out the door. Dream on!!!!! That is why still have not sold it. Also very bad PR for the dealer.
Good review but Halogen Bulbs to keep it retro... PLEASE !!!
Hi from Italy here :)
Can I ask u 1 thing please can I change in road glide special the front wheel and put 17 or better 16/16 rear front ?because I really like the special look but I do not like 19 front wheel ...
I love wheels like this beautiful glide 😍
The 1969 had the Early Shovelhead engine, however:
Yesterday I bought the original from 1971 with the first Late Shovelhead engine, it is not a replica :-)
BTW: The sound of the original is way better than the replica and can’t be copied;-)
did you put the mic under water ???
We have 2 at the Harley dealership I work at
You guys should really bone up on your history and do your homework before you post a video. As mentioned before 69 would be a Shovelhead not a Pan Head. First year for electric start was 65. Also the predecessor to the Electra Glide was the Duo Glide not the Hydraglide. The 49 Hydraglide was a hard tail with hydraulic front forks . The Duo Glide replaced it in 1958 adding adding rear suspension. The Electra Glide added electric start in 1965. Cool bike though...and that's coming from a Triumph guy 😉
30 gs for a two Tone 2021 glide. I don't even know what a new standard one goes for. But what a gimmick. Go ahead yuppies line up to get yours today
It's a beautiful bike, but unfortunately that's all it is. All looks and no substance. The one improvement they could and should have made over the 1969 model they didn't. It uses the M8 engine, so it has virtually none of that traditional Harley feel. Very Japanese like in the way it feels. You said it was smooth, and it is. WAY too smooth. Harleys are supposed to shake, a lot, and the M8 doesn't. Boring. Very boring. You want smooth, buy a Goldwing. And that brings up the next problem (and there are plenty) It's WAY too quiet. Harleys are not suppose to be quiet. They are supposed to be loud, sound and feel like riding a jackhammer, and have that wonderful loping idle. This thing might as well be electric, like the Deadwire. Again, if that is what you want, buy a Goldwing or Japanese touring cruiser, like the Kawasaki Vulcan Vaquero. It's more than $10K less than the Harley, and more reliable.
You mentioned that batwing fairing, and I do love the look of it. From the front. It's absolutely hideous from the back. Get rid of the stereo, navigation system, and especially that horrible center screen. Nothing nostalgic about that, it just looks trashy, and drives the price up. Music on a Harley is supposed to come from the exhaust.
The one VERY important thing that Harley should have done is upgrade the tires to tubeless. Anybody who seriously rides a touring bike knows better than to get far from home with tube type tires. When you have a flat, and you will, there is absolutely no way to fix it on the road. It's tow truck time. Hopefully you have a really good road service plan and are within range of cell phone service. There is simply no excuse why anything but an off road only dirt bike should have tube type tires in 2021. It is very easy to build wire spoke wheels for tubeless tires.
My last gripe is the price. There is simply nothing about this bike to justify the $30K price tag, plus the several thousand $$$ Harley dealers will stick on in fees and additional dealer markup. This is a parts bin special. Very few new parts needed to be made to build this bike. It's an Electra Glide standard with some police bike parts and a nice paint job. It should cost about $10K less.
Yes, Harley will have no problem selling 1500 of these, based on looks alone. You can sell a few of anything. There are people out there with the money who want what appears to be a vintage Harley. But that beauty is only skin deep. Which is fine if all you are going to do is sit there and look at it. But if you are not going to get the Harley sound and feel, why pay for it?
Used one Saskatoon Sask. with 44k on it and it's on "sale" for $29,k. Really...
What is the seat height? I would buy if I can touch the ground I always love that look.
Seat height is about 30"... For comparison Justin (6'3") is flat footed when he is riding and Connor (5'11") is on the balls of his feet, not quite tip toes but close.
@@HarleyDavidsonofIndianapolis I am 5'7'' it probably will not work for me and it is the only HD I would consider, never had a HD only GW I have 3 Gold Wing and a T-Rex @ this time.
@@easonjones3676
I'm 5'7" and run a police solo seat on my '72 FLHP.
When I do run the original big white buddy seat with the chrome rail on it, I have to just hang my right leg over the bike so I can touch the ground with my left foot when I come to a stop.
Kinda like a kid riding a bicycle that's too big for him.
Where there's a will, theres a way.
Ride safe.
This is funny. This bike is beautiful. I had a 69 flh with the 2 up white buddy seat. Unfortunately ,I'm 5"9 220. Its got the same issue my 69 had. Seat is to high for me. Even right now I own a 72 flh, had it 16 years now. Buddy seat is on s shelf in my garage. A mustang seat sits on the frame now.Height difference is about 4 inches. I'd buy this bike,if it was available, and the seat height was lower. Because if I can't adjust it,I can't even ride it.I don't see passenger footpegs? I guess its just s solo seat. Can't give rides to the chick's. Thats not good.
Purchase one Friday it will be next Monday before it is delivered about 200 miles from my house due to rain everyday for the week, and I can touch the ground with one toe so I have work to do to make it work but I just had to have it, never had a HD before but this color grabbed me I am 200% Gold Wing rider one DCT Air Bag wing & two other 1800 wings in the garage. Hope I can get a seat that will make it work and have the seat the cover change to keep that black & white color scheme.
I was gonna say that's the ugliest Harley in a long time and I LOVE IT
I know it a nostalgic seat but u could always change it and or even put a 2 up seat on it
Disappointed you weren’t wearing leather chaps and a peak cap ....
the guys that will be interested in this are currently collecting social security checks. they should offer this with those training wheel trike kits
30k for a street glide with a seat and bag guards that have been sitting in a warehouse since the 60s? no thanks
No buddy seat, rear end looks horrible, WAY overpriced. Just my 2 cents. Ive also seen a few with crooked tank emblems. 👌
I don't like the seat. I think it's less comfortable than an ordinary police seat
It’s a police bike. With a twist, limited production , what ever.
it's not a Revival it's a rip-off the 1969 Harley-Davidson had a chrome luggage rack and a two up seat plus chrome accents
Wow Harley really out did them self same old hunk of shit !!! Hahahah and a new seat🤙🏻 Good by Harley !!
Beautiful but 30=K............
So HD is selling the electra glide police bike for 10k more, SUCKERS.LMAO.
30k gtfo
Man, Harley is just taking 10 steps backwards! Come on guys this is not the 70s anymore the old timers are gone. We want a fresh new bike! Get with the program people
