Old people know what's good. You learn that as you get older. I rode crotch rockets for years saying "You will never see me on a Harley". Then I ended up buying one and haven't looked back. Now I am looking for a geezer glide. The Cadillac of Harleys. 😁
@@CGOD A Honda Shadow 1100 is actually what converted me! Hopped on that and was like...whoa, this is like riding a couch down the road. I am sold! And yeah you give up A LOT of speed for comfort but I was ok with it. I had my fun and survived.
@@cknorris3644 exactly! Mine was a 750 that topped out around 90mph felt like a toy after I got on my first Harley touring bike, but yes indeed it feels so luxurious!
Just found the same bike, sitting under a shed, just parked, yrs ago, bought new local. In great shape, $500.00. Got a Raider, and vtx 1800, but, gotta add a Harley to the collection.
No way the air guage is for the shocks, I drained all the pressure out of them the day I bought the bike. It fluctuates with the ambient air temp also. But I don’t have many CD’s either lol
Im trading my 2011 ir9n sportster 883 for an 05 Electric Glide. This will be my 2nd bike. But I'd like to turn it into a vicla style as well. 21's up front and 18 in the back.
If youTake the back luggage box off and back rest. Which is connected to it that back seat looks way too big. I had to get a smaller and more thinner one
Strip it down make it look like a street glide i have spokes whitewalls to stereo system stretched saddle bags custom seat air ride on mine it will look badass.

I’ve yet to ride a sports bike, I’m afraid I’ll get used to the power lol my first bike was a Honda Shadow and the Harley’s felt way faster!

Let me guess, you’re max wrist
I’m old not dead lol I got the same harley😅
Nice homie can’t wait to see what you do to it 👌🏽
I’m excited for it too! Clean and simple🤙🏽
@@CGOD
Congrats on the ride.
Seeing that it's been a year, those 'flapper johnies' you called them, are to direct some air when it's real hot.
@@colinm1325 yeah I had taken them off for awhile but ended up putting them back on lol
@@CGOD
Saw that 1st vid, your parts pile, and scrolled past a vid where you have the wire front wheel, looks lower to. Looks good, well done.
@@colinm1325 she’s been “completed” for awhile now. Just been enjoying it as a daily rider, thanks!

Very solid purchase! New fluids and some clean up work and you’ll have yourself a nice steel stallion!
@@CGODI found the knock offs....I watched your other video 😂
@@bmoregrego 🤘🏽🤙🏽
@@CGOD I just looked dude up on fb....thanks bro....hopefully he'll respond and have more lol
theres a cd player on the radio, flip the the black piece up that says harley davidson on it. also, the air gauge is for your rear shocks

That's not an old man bike.... but it is for sure a man's bike...

@@johnyhuitron556 can’t beat it man! My first bike was a Honda Shadow but once I threw my leg over a Harley I was sold!

Not to worry! I’ve got another seat being made already, kinda wanna do a chopped tour pack
Now you have a Cadillac bro my son rides a 08 Road king and he stripped it down but anyway nice bike bro.
Yessir! She’ll look very different once I’m done with it.
Put you some new wheels and a new windshield on it you in there😊
Most definitely! I’ve got a few newer videos where I’ve done just that lol
ese es el sonido de la gloria hno yo tengo una saludos

Something like that maybe, Lowrider style for sure!
@@CGOD that's how mine is vicla style minus the fish tails. What's your insta?
@@rpiii3755 my IG is @CamberGod
What is considered too high miles for these bikes
I’m not too sure, around 100k miles is about where I’d draw the line lol my first Harley had 54k when I sold it. Still running strong
Cool ,ya know what i mean.......😂😂😂😂😂😂
u live in kc? im from topeka
I’m actually over in Garden City
I ride an 03 Ultra classic , I take grandpa over a newbie
Yessir it’s a great bike! I’ve been enjoying the heck out of it
@@CGOD I turn heads everywhere, dependable bike
That’s also a cd player just so you know.
You know what I mean!
You know that I know!
What do you mean?
I throw the heal shifter away on all my bikes.
Please let me have them instead
You know what? I don't know what you mean! 😅
Sometimes idk either
@@CGODit's all good brother. About to trade my 85 Silverado for a 97 Electra Glide Classic with 17k miles. 👍
@@Alop777 should be solid! Great running bikes

@@michaelhudson303 probably the same as road king also
Definitely not a grandpa bike
@@michaelhudson303 she rides like a dressed up road king!
