IM FINALLY A REAL BIKER!! Welcome the Waldicorn's 1986 Harley Davidson FXR to the shadetree surgeon channel! I've got big plans for this bike, lots of funny stuff coming along with an eventual rebuild down to the frame. Till next time, keep it weird y'all #shadetreearmy #harleydavidson
You would've made a fantastic professional wrestler! The opening promo you cut for this one was pure gold. Hilarious!
Thanks man!
I was just thinking that!
You should take my class on that bike. You wouldn't have to worry about dropping it and it would make a good youtube video.
A friend of mine had a shovelhead that he built ground up. The motor was put together on his coffee table and sat there for 10 years before he finally got the frame work finished and mounted it in. It was dubbed the paperweight due to its resting place on the table and was an instant show winner the very day after its completion. Stories are fucking awesome bro.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Bla bla bla....zzzzzz
A good top to bottom washing, polish and detail job, along with some gloss black rattle can paint for the frame where you need it, and that bike won't look half bad. Just needs some love. My first bike was a 1976 Superglide (AMF model), with an old school King/Queen seat. Totally awesome !!!!
I'm thinking of the meme with Maury Povich.
"The patch on your vest says live to ride, ride to live.
The odometer on the bike parked in the garage says that is a lie"
Brian M omfg I'm crying 😆🤣🤣
No doubt
Great intro. I am 73 and just bought a Sportster. My first Harley.

Congrats on the sporty. Too bad you didn't start with a fxr or dyna as they have alittle bit more weight and handle better down the hwy, wind, bumps, etc. Sportys are top heavy where ass dynas and softails weight are bottom. Good luck and most importantly, have fun with the freedom 👍
I learned to ride on a 1200 I bought when I was 20 because as shadetree said Harley Davidson will finance anyone with a tooth in their head and two nickels to rub together
I remember the video of getting the fxr started! It took cigarettes, beer, and metalica to get it to start haha
Do something no one as ever done to a Harley..... return it to stock.
Very cool idea, I mean what was great new, why not make it new again? As one who appreciates original Japanese restorations, I think that is an AWESOME idea.
Club style for sure, then ride it like u stole it.
Stock yes...👍👍it'll last another 40 yrs
When I bought my 95th Anniversary Road Glide (1998) it was far from stock, 10 years later I was able to finish it and now it is 99.99% stock and has 136,000 miles on on it. I was fortunate enough to get the Chief designer of this particular model (Willie G) to autograph her last year while at Daytona.

Or back to the junk yard. Where it belongs.
Bikes with stories are the best! Look forward to seeing what’s to come 👌
Love your channel bro! Congrats on becoming a “real biker”! LOL
Nice find! Respect for the bro deal. FXR is on the bike bucket list.
That bike is channel history, glad it stayed in the family. Congrats.
Me too man! It’s been there since there very beginning :)
This looks awesome as a project bike. A bit like a mangy scraggly cat or dog looking for a new home and some veterinary care. Sure she'll take some work, but think of the love that this machine is waiting to give you. She purrs nicely, but with a parts transfusion, new oil and bits she'll soar like the eagle she once was.
Go forth and Harleyfie shade tree!
He lifted his eyes up unto the HD dealership, and Lo, he became a real biker! Hell yeah!
Cue angelic choir
@@shadetreesurgeon that is exactly in my line of thinking too. "Lead us into the true path of air-cooled, push-rod righteousness, and forgive us our metric, overhead-cam and parallel-cylinder transgressions."
We all do dumb things because of peer pressure sometimes 😁
METAL FUNGS
Hell yeah with the FXR bro deal. Glad you guys were able to keep it in the family
Congrats, and welcome to the HD family! That will be a great project bike. Looking forward to your upcoming content! Keep it weird!
Lol ! That vest ! I always see people from Scottsdale wearing vests like that . Millionaire during the work week and bad ass pirates on the weekends . Congrats on the bike .
Heh, I can’t wait to have some fun with it
Hey man I happen to like ur vest surgeon I have the same one bro
That's what riding all about looking bad ass! I'm a Mean motha fuka
LOL! Every time I see one of your videos. I think... this is more entertaining than the last one. I love your crazy, feel good, enjoying life nature! Thank you!
I hope Waldo is getting a new bike. He does not look to happy to sell his bike. Big ups to you for taking care of it for him. It sucks when you have to sell your bike. You truly are a good friend for that.
Great to see this bike come your way. You could have gotten a Sportster and pissed off everyone! LOL
I love his dramatic openings. They rule! Such a showman!
Glad you kept the Waldicorns bike in the family! Can’t wait to see what happens next🧨
All the years I've followed this channel that was the best intro yet. Looking forward to see what you do with the FXR,.
Shadetree, good luck with the fxr. Been watching you for about three years now. Always knew you would come to the dark side. My dad had a brand new '87 fxrs. I think it went for around $7000.00 back then. I crashed it in '89. We fixed it up and he made me get back on. Still riding today, thanks to him. I have had a '65 pan for about 22 years now. (Not my only ride anymore) Thanks for the awesome vid.
All you need is a bigger garage, or shop. Looking forward to these builds! I love rugged looking bikes, gives them more character and you know they definitely are used instead of sitting in a garage looking pretty.
Honestly it only makes sense that you own that bike now. Why wouldn't you. That FXR is part of the channels history. Plus you already know the bike. Congratulations man. Can't wait for this project!!! Mine is a '87.
Glad u bought it. like my mom always says “He who dies with the most bikes, wins.”
Lol made my day
That's what my grandfather said, "whoever dies with the most toys win"
It will probably be Jay Leno who wins.
It only takes one
@@patriotbiker2594 Jay Leno or some oil rich saudi king lol
Congrats bro! The intro is gold. Lovin’ it.
Congrats on the new bike. They are great bikes. I'm sure you will enjoy riding it and he will enjoy seeing you ride it.
The story behind the FXR is exactly why I went and got a 17 fxdls off the used market, 650 miles on it....right after Harley announced the discontiuation of the dyna line...kind of a middle finger to Harley for discontinuing the dyna models.
Hey Josh, you should restore the bike! The FXR style Harleys are highly sought out.
I have watched hundreds of bike videos and I just wanted you to know that I really enjoy watching yours the most. In fact you are the only one I have subscribed.
I really appreciate your real world test rides and thoughts about the bikes and I love the way you and your crew interact. Keep up the great work. Thank You!
#2019 Electra Glide Standard
Wow. Never thought I’d see the day. Hell Yeah!!!!!
That bike is the reason I started watching good ol' Shadetree. I have an '86 FXR, and one of the first bike videos I watched just happened to be getting that boy running right before Waldo got his license back. Fucking stoked to see it back on the channel, and see it in good hands!
I love my rusty old Evo. (it belonged to my uncle) Some people may say she's not the prettiest girl at the dance, but she certainly has the most personality.
I’ve seen this one video about 50 times and it gets better every time 👍🏼
Dude I’ve watched your videos for a while now and hands down that was the greatest intro ever! Congrats on being a “real biker”
Congrats! Long live the EVO/FXR combo.
Congrats on the FXR, those things are like gold. Good on ya for offering Waldo the opportunity to buy it back. Can't wait to see how you piss people off with this one, gonna be fun sitting back and laughing! And only 80k?? I had a zr550 with 100k and that thing was still pulling wheelies.
I wouldnt worry about what ppl say about 1.75" drag pipes. Yes they produce more high end power but the sound on a shovel or evo cant be beat. At 1.75" and smaller, they create their own back pressure. Its when you get into 2" and bigger on open pipes is when you will need a lollipop or 1" long baffle. I have Squeeks Big Twins Public Enemies 2 into 1 on my bike now (posted on youtube) but i still have my 1.75" cycle shacks put away for the future 👍 Nice bike man.
Congrats brother! Really cool of you to make a bro's agreement with the the bike!!! PEACE!!!!!
The first video of yours I ever watched was the one of you guys getting that old girl running waaaay back. Glad she's going to a rad home.
congratulations on the new bike. I am a fan of the dirty ratted look, but, I look forward to watching what you do with this bike. keep up the good work have a badass day 🤘
Thats awesome man keeping the bike in the family. Can't wait to see what you do to it. Love the content. Keep up the great work.
Awesome that the bike is staying close to home!
Good news man. Really good. Awesome acquisition! I'm sure this bike will be extremely well-treated. Cheers
Gotta love those old Harley's, I ride. '95 & love it. My oil leak was just a simple case of crappy oil hose routing clamps which needed to be replaced, check them 1st. Look forward to seeing what you do with it
Might still have a chain oiler? Inside the primary, there's a relief cut that is supposed to slop oil on the chain, if that year bike originally came with one.
When you do fix it up, it needs to be gold. Gold metal flake tank and fenders with a Waldocorn silhouette on the side of the tank.
Yessss
FXR's handle great. Congratulations on your Harley purchase. Now to get your whole pirate outfit in order and you'll fit right in. Haha. Years ago I bought a Honda 750 like that arrangement from a bro, came time to sell it, $900. I waited 6 months for him to come up with$900. He didn't have a damn dollar,but could drink in the bar. I sold it,he came at me, I had to beat him down. Never again. I hope it works out for the best for you.
That is the coolest intro ever. I don’t even dig Harley’s but now I feel like I must have one.
Cuz that’s how true friends do deals, hell yeah !
Always good too add to the “stable” congrats Shadetree !
Can’t wait to see what you do with it! Glad you finally got a real motorcycle 😂😂
I can’t wait to see more content that includes the Harley. I just recently had to get rid of mine so I could help my mom out after my dad passed away so it will be nice to watch.
HEEEEEEELLL YEEEEEEaaaahhh!!!! you finally made REAL BIKER status !!! lololol good stuff dude!
I laugh every time he does the acoustic, slow mo HEEEELLLL YEAAAAAAA!
That one time where you guys got that FXR started and it blew the oil out onto the grass, that was the video that made me subscribe. Good buy Shadetree.
Hell yaaaaa! Great intro man. Sometimes I wish you would do 2 channels. One just pure comedy. Great work
When a joke video made months ago becomes reality. 😂
I remember the old FXR commercial, it was badass, and it’s what got me interested in HD .
Awesome mate, I'll look forward the the videos of the Harley and to see what you do with it.
Well Hell now you can be a real Biker LOL. WOW! In 86 I was still in high school. A bike that old will be a load of fun to fix up and customize.
just bought my first Harley, a 1997 softail custom. Great story. Old timer, etc, etc. Riding it is a religious experience. It's like going back in time. Mine is the opposite of yours. 13k unmolested miles. It's like going back in time. I am going to ride the shit out of it!
I couldn't stop laughing at 'the metric playthings of children'.
Nice! Looking forward to seeing what your plans for this bike are.
Congrats! Another steed in the stable. I believe you could create great content on damn moped. A tired bike deserves someone that will have a few beers and give it some TLC. Enough nights of that will equal a great bike at a great price with a "bro deal" kicker. Great content to come.
Its not just a Harley-Davidson, its a Harley-Davidson FXR!
First thing you need to do to it is turn the idle up to 950-1,00 rpm, Evos don't make enough oil pressure any lower, then loose the drag pipes, they only really work at WOT.
Its gone to the right place.
This comment aged well....
Oh I'm so happy I just jumped back in your channel right now
I just got my first motorcycle. I bought it off Craigslist for $1000. It's a 1996 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 with 13, 482 miles. It's got a few dents in the tank and some small things I have to replace but it does turn over.
I was playing the video and my wife pointed out you sound like Chris Pratt 😂 sweet new bike man!! 🤙🏼
I swear even canadian eagles are screaming in joy
I already miss baby Shadetree Surgeon. Congrats!
Yess, the best Harley you could have bought, cause it was already in the family! There's no better home for it!! Cant wait for the content it starts!!!
FAMILY....yeah right.. Of attitude and bs
I made the same deal with the bike on my channel with a young guy, it's his first bike. Good stuff!
Sad for Waldo , but glad for you !!!👍 Knew you'd do it ,just didn't figure Waldo's was the one you'd get !!! The FXR'S Are great bikes !!!
i am very happy for you....now the channel is complete....thanks. congratulations from Portugal
Watching your channel has finally paid off! 😘
Nice bike! Looking forward to more videos about the Harley.
Cool bike, cool story[ies] behind it and one has no other choice than to save as many has possible!!!
Congrats on your new manhood! Love your videos, awesome content. I'd been away from your channel for a couple of years, and I can't believe how much better your vids are now compared to before! It's like you got a hold of Bradley Cooper's limitless pill :) Anyway, can't wait to see how these builds turn out, think I'll head over to patreon and help out a bit. Keep up the good work!
Those opening monologues are awesome.
That Undeniable Harley sound! HELL YEAA!!
Heh I bought an ‘86 Sporty much to the whole family’s chagrin (they grew up during the AMF years and remembered Harley’s falling apart while slowly trundling down the highway). But I digress.
I had to buy it to see what all the fuss was about. Within 20 minutes of swinging a leg over it I understood. The rumble, the vibrating. The torque...
A year later my Dad threw a leg over and came back 10 mins later with a big ass grin on his face too.
Shady my first big Twin was a brand new 1987 Harley Davidson FXLR! I still miss that bike to this day! I’m glad you took in your boy’s bike on a handshake buy back deal! Ride it, love it and keep it actively riding the roads! Fix only what need fixed. There is no sound like that Evo motor! Keep the ugly side up my friend!
LOVE YOUR STYLE
great content
In the Intro, I was waiting for him to say; ohh yaahh..Snap into a Slim Jim😎
You definitely delivered with that bike! :) Thanks buddy.
Favorite FXR: Black Death from the film, "Marlboro Man and Harley Davidson".
Ride it in good health, Josh! 🏍👍🏍
Oh come on ShadeTree, you gotta ride it up the ramp for it to count! Love that Fxr
Yo cuz good luck on ur new toy, I sold my 90 FXR awhile ago,worst decision I ever made that bad boy went everywhere, I bought and have other HD,s but that bike was the best running, handling and good looking bike I ever owned..I miss it dearly..thx for sharing bro
Congrats on the Bro Deal Bike, now get some 0000 steel wool and get to scrubbing on anything not painted.... Amazing what it will do. Enjoy it!!
You always loved the way this bike sounded. Admit it. My first HD was a 90 FXRS. I like my 17 Dyna Low Rider way better. But I should have kept that FXRS no doubt.
I inherited my dad's custom, fully pimped out, 1988 FXRS a few years ago after his untimely death.
Grew up on the back of it. Wide glide front end, drives like a dream. I ride the hell out of it and wipe it with a diaper :))))
Great video as ever SS, and another bike in the stable!! That puppy is going to take some work with the bucket and sponges though my friend!! All the best from Blighty as ever - TMF
Would love to hear more comments comparing the FXR to the Dina .. I own a Dina 2013 so I would love to acquire that knowledge .. 👍🏻
He'll yea bro. gotta love the evo sound man. Love it man. it don't leak it marks it's territory like a beast should. 🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘
Awesome stuff, is proper cool you have taken this on
5 years later. It still raises my bog.
So refreshing to see a candle not obsessed with H&D chef
Shadetree you help realize I can ride a bike as a new female rider thank you. I finished my MSF course last week and this week I bought my first bike a VTX1300C yes might be a little big but I love it. It has a interchange and the Vance and Hines Big Shot exhaust it can be loud going down the street but people can here coming
I came here to see how crusty the crusty glide was in the first place.
And by my lovely suprise you made it even worse. Love it.
