I'm 64 and have a '99 Heritage Softtail which I ride almost everyday. I wouldn't trade my 20 yr old Harley for a new one! I love my old 1340 carbed EVO!!!
How many miles do you have on your 99 ? Has the carb caused you any problems?
@@dodge33445 My Heritage has 82,000 miles and is totally stock except for the Vance and Hines exhaust, and have had no problems at all. I keep the fluids changed every 3000 miles. No problems with the carburetor. Now every now and then I'll keep it blownout by giving it "full throttle" a couple miles on the interstate!
@@michesgqlledobbiln8928 , Thank you for the response! I feel great about things now. Seeing that you have one and it is so dependable! IVe always loved the softail since I was a kid and my dads friend had one .
@@dodge33445 I've had quite a few bikes throughout my life. I' had a '83 shovelhead Tour Glide and put 105,000 miles on that bike. Man I loved that old shovelhead! It leaked a little oil, but nothing to worry about. Then I had a '90 Electra Glide Sport and that was an Evo motor and a real nice running bike, and sold me on EVO motors. I also had a '03 TwinCam 88 softail custom. Only put like 36,000 miles on her before someone made a left turn in front of me. That '03T-88 was alot faster that my EVO, but I just didn't care for all the computer and electronics on it. So now I went back to the EVO, which in my opinion is THE best motor Harley made. These things are 100,000 mile motor before you have to do anything to it, if then! Maybe tighten down the head bolts.
@@michesgqlledobbiln8928 The one I am looking to buy is a 2002 Harley softail heritage classic firefighter, with 22,000 miles. but it has vance and hines full exhaust, aftermarket bars, and aftermarket wheels, and a lot of chrome extras. shes a beauty.. but I heard a lot of people trying to say that you dont get any high miles out of a Harley, which made me a bit nervous, but hearing your experience with them makes me feel MUCH better! Thanks for your response. I hope to be riding soon !!
I've had my 1995 Ultra for 20 trouble-free years and she's still running great
the evo was the best engine Harley ever made. they need to bring it back
Justin Myslive
I ride my 96 fatboy and have zero interest in replacing it. Almost zero issues. I blew a rocker gasket doing 120mph but thats my fault lol.
Just change the fluids and go. Not even a trickle charger since there's no real accessories. My battery is 4 years old. Changing it next month with fluids just to be safe
got one and ETA grate 88 1340.just simply because they are
seriously? It wont pass emissions now .
I am 66 and still ride a Shovelhead. 1983 FXWG, with a 4 speed. No fuel gage , Mikuni 38VM Carb.
exactly..radio on a bike???
I'm 32 and ride a 1982 shovelhead fxrs, 5 speed, no gages no blinker with s&s carb
I just purchased a 1999 RoadKing, 88 cubic inches, normally aspirated, with a 6 speed Baker transmission, first ride, from Charlotte NC, to Longview Texas, was a blast,!!!! gonna do it again,
I ride a 94 fxrp I'm 70 years old would not trade it for a 2018 it gets me there and back and if need be I can work on it myself no computer or fuel pump gas runs down hill to a s&s carb I get a complimented all the time people say it sounds like a real Harley could be the shotgun pipes
"If its smooth at a stop sign that cause you stalled" LOL
To all of you complaining about the "ferring" do you realize he's got the camera mounted too low. You can see quite well over those fairings and in long rides you don't get tired of the wind beating you around. As for the styling, yes aside from minor cosmetics older Harleys and new ones pretty much look the same to the untrained eye. THAT is the point of a Harley. Technologically speaking, new Harleys are completely different and more refined, and for some purists or old schoolers, even that is a problem; proof that you can't please everyone. If you haven't ridden on one of these, go ride one before you post a comment.
Your telling the truth bro!
EVO FOREVER FOREVER EVO!!!!!!!
Myahh big twins Myahh
My 06 just rolled 198,000 still pulling strong!!
I ride a 2000 FLSTC 🤘🏼 still hauls ass no leaks. Only wished I had one more gear. Twin Cam 88 with Dyna Tec tuner
6:31 Fuel Gauge works just like mine does lol Its all over the place when you riding. I ordered a new one but its been two months and HD has no idea when it will be in. as alway you make very entertaining videos Thanks
I had to order one from HD for my 02 Electra Glide. Mine was bouncing too. It took about two months to come in. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a decent used one on eBay or anywhere else at the time.
I had a 2002 Dyna Wide Glide and it ran GREAT. I'd like to find it and buy it back. The thump from that carbureted motor was glorious
Nice view of the inside of the fairing.............................
I use to despise hd. U just got ride one to get it I guess? I luv them now. I was so foolish, I have seen the light. I use to be a sportbike guy, then I got older and fatter...
Dennis Morris 😂
My 99 FXWG runs great just like when new. I have the carb model.
My '99 FLHTCUI has 110,xxx miles and still runnin' strong!
thats good to kno im at 72k miles on mine i have 99 FLHTCUI as well and ik it will go well over 100 k
I have a 2000 Dyna twin cam and it rattles my eyelids when I'm waiting at lights. The only real issue I've had with it over 13 years is the clutch basket and ring gear which needed renewing. One of the floats in the carb sticks a bit and it will leak petrol if it hasn't been used for a while but it'll fire up up on the button whenever it's needed. A friend has a new BMW 1100 and that's a delight of a bike but it just doesn't have the personality or characteristics of my old Harley. I sat on it and it felt like it was made of plastic. I'd find it easier to sell a kidney than my bike.
I’ve ridden since I was 16 - my first bike was a 50cc Bridgestone step-thru, followed by a Yamaha CS5 200 Electric, a Honda 250 XL, a Suzuki 750GT water-bottle, and then when work supplied me with a car, I traded our family car in on a new 1992 two tone ruby & red 1340cc Electra Glide Classic, which I nicknamed Ruby.
I rode Ruby to work, anywhere between 30 and 100 klms each way, for 24 years until I retired in 2009. I’ve had no issues with Ruby other than a broken spring which jammed the gear box in 3rd gear a year out of warranty, and which HD fixed for no cost.
I’m now 64, and my last ride on Ruby was April 7th 2017, when I dropped her off at the HD dealer, as I had traded her in on a 2017 Red Iron Denim Fat Boy Lo, which I've called Amy, after the Doctor Who character Amy Pond, as I had to wait for 4 months before taking delivery, hence Amy, the bike who waited.
I have a 1996 Buell S1 that has almost 56k on it. Still running strong.
Thank for your videos Shaun you encouraged me to get my first ultra classic or big harley. I've had sportys but now I'm 40 no more baby breakers
I have a 1992 Heritage and an 18 street glide , the obvious difference for one is the CI and one is fuel injected and one is not , the 1992 is a turn key bike , fires after being choked , runs like a dream . I wanted something newer just for the simple fact of I wanted something bigger and 2 I don’t know if they changed the gearing or not in later models , but the ‘92 is screaming keeping up with traffic on the interstate , I wanted a nice cruiser that wasn’t rapped out , yeah I could of upgraded the transmission , but I want to keep the bike as stock as possible for my personal reasons . Just my 2 cents from someone who has both
No words of wisdom???
verse of the day?
my 92 runs like a top its stone stock and thats why
I've ridden HD's since 78. Matter of fact only two. Both EG's. One shovelhead that was stock save for the looks and my current ride a HD 01 FLHTPI that came out of Yonkers PD. The 01 I had the engine modified, just cause I had the money to do it. Went from and 88 to a 96 with a mild build. Will do in excess of 100mph which is fast enough for me. Has good tug throughout the power band but more specifically gears 3-5 just a good pull if I get on it. Never ridden another style of motorcycle and frankly never had the desire to. Never have seen a rice rocket that I liked the looks of.
Try an evo
I ride a '98 Roadking. Had it since' 01 and it now has a S&S 111" and a 6 speed. Evo is a great engine.
Sounds like it runs pretty smoothly, id have thought that was the main thing?, 20 year old bike, still looks like it will get you where you needs to be!, and home again😀
Hear no evo. Ride no evo.See no evo.78 shovel head. The last of the breed.
two wheels down to that.. outta tha ditch and under 100 (most of the time) . 78 1200 FXS. Scooter trash draggin 53+. matter of fact the 'ol hog turns forty this year.. and still throwing rocks at all them new fairy's". I mean 'fairings'. KEEP IT IN THE WIND BROTHER!!
for a bowling ball. theirs a reason they killed the shovelhead.
Had a '83 Tour Glide with a shovel motor and put about 175000 miles until someone rear ended me. Now I ride a '99 Heritage Softtail with a EVO motor, and I love this BIKE as well.
Gotta let those Evo’s warm up man!
I have a 2003 Heritage Softail Classic,the bike had 22,000 on it and the bike is amazing,runs and handles like a dream,it has 23,437 on her now,And I wouldn’t trade her for the world
I love my RoadKing, so comfortable
I LOVE the VIBRATION!!!! uumm!!!
Luv my rk m8
The new radios are kinda crappy too. They said they do lots of stuff but there are a lot of ifs, ands and buts that go along with that. Same thing with the nav function, they're just not leading the pack so to speak.
Not the new Honda Goldwing.
"Where's the off button" Hold down the source button. I had to learn that about my car's radio, too.
97 is a old bike?
I have a 89, flhtp 1340 Evo I’ll keep it till the end of time
how do you even see the road with that thing?
86 Sportster 🤘🏻
It runs as good as my 1997 carburetor'd Road King.
That ferrying would take some time to get comfortable with
John Smarsh its not that bad, his camera is on his chest, like a officer.
John Smarsh yeah about a thousand years 😂
By the way, I keep seeing that Red Corvette off on your left side when you drive by it on most your videos. Did you ever happen to stop by and see the model & price wanted? Just askin' that is all?
Mines a 94 dyna,it runs like a dream.Me mates ride pretty hard n never lose me.
i love my 20 yr harley
That dashboard is hideous! .. Like my Road King view.
I like you guys just might get my next one from you !
Back in the day I’d go riding every weekend with my buddy. His HD would break down every stinking time. So I’d have to haul his ol lady home to get his pick up.
I have two Harley-Davidsons a 1994 Sportster and a 2015 FLHP Road King Police, neither of which have ever broken down. For that matter they have "0" problems!
I have a 98 wide glide .Have had it 15 years .last year I had to replace the battery.i contacted the previous owner who bought it new and he said he had never fitted a new battery.Even the dealer was amazed when I told him that factory battery lasted 20 years .Mind you I always use a optimate charger linked to the bike .
U really move bikes fast
You need as much visibility as you can get when riding a motorcycle . Don't understand why anyone would block visibility with those dash bags
An old bike is a shovel, pan, knuckle.
Its a " FAIRING"
Are you assuming his accent.
Good lord cant see the road ahead!
Agreed, what a stupid addition to a bike.
Sure you can, how short are you?
He can see the road. YOU can't because of the camera's location.
Short rider or tall fairing? YIKES!
Or bad camera angle
I am considering getting a HARLEY. THE CATCH IS IT MUST LAST FOR MORE THAN 15 YEARS. IS IT GOOD PROBABILITY THAT A HARLEY WILL LAST THAT LONG? ROAD GLIDE SPECIFICALLY. I LIVE IN TEXAS SO HIGHWAY MILES ARE AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE.
Lol yes they do. I ride an '88 every damn day it doesn't rain
This reaffirmed for me the idea that harley riders don't want to see where they're going and the comments suggest that perhaps the old eyesights gone anyway
The camera is mounted low, probably under the chin of his helmet, near his chest. I am not a tall guy (5'9") and easily see over the fairing and windshield. If you are short enough for visibility to be an issue then you were too short to pick the bike up anyways.
Why wouldn’t it run? It’s an EVO and the Engine after it ran great also .. the new Milwaukee 8 engine is the Evo revived again and is fantastic.,,
Dude I love your jeans! Where did you buy them? You got style out the wazoo! ;)
I didn't hear the scripture before u took off 😁
Not fan of the car like dashboard. The right bike for someone though.
They were More 16 Grand in 97
You NEVER actually talk about the visual influence of color on a motorcycle as its being ridden. It's what everybody sees and everybody is massively influenced by visuals. You also never mention about what is the first object a rider sees when they stop looking at the road and approach looking at object on the bike. If the speedo is located just below where a rider looks at the road, then its easy to instantly check your motion speed, but if the rider has to find the speedo located under handle bars and imbedded into a petrol tank, then that time wasting effect will cost the rider from looking at the road infront of them. So talk about your opinion about searching for items on the bike and what impression you have from blacked out components or deliberately enhanced objects. Sunlight bouncing off chrome handlebars for example. Etc...
Does anyone know if that when to the eco engine redline?
Edit name 5200rpm stock.
Obey acts 2:38
On your website, the 2002 Honda Goldwing is the video attached to this bike. Harley guys are going to have a pissing contest with that fopah... I had to come to UA-cam to find the video of this bike.... Lindsey, the "boys" are messing with you.....
i love my 1989 ultra classic with old school fishtail pipes...great sounding..heavy clutch to pull...just a great bike that will never quit.....run all day and performs better the longer you ride it...when she`s warm she gets hot...but buddy i`m getting tired of you...put somebody else on....
You guys better be standing up for the Second Amendment! Never seen so many Northern states giving up their gun rights! The fate of this nation may very well rely on the south Rising again!
It sounds good, about ur jeans?
I can't see where I'm going.
Sounds fine to me,
I thought it was popping a weekly WTF.
how do you see the road with that fairing lol
That won't last. It's in very good shape.
I know this is old but I hope you saved a few dollars and got some new pants young man
1997 HD looks just like a 2017 LOL.Thats pathetic
Come on man, you can't hate on Harley for the Electra glide looking the same, you ride a busa! Those have looked that same since 99' lol. Love the vids btw
Alan Godin I think they look different.They redesigned in 08.And another redesign coming in about a year i hear.The general shape is kept because of aerodynamics.And thanks btw
I’d like to see you and Caleb take two old Harleys from your stock, go cross country and vlog it.
gghostrrider I dont dual vlog.And i dont have time to go cross country unless somebody pays me to lol.
Hayabusa designs: just as pathetic.
My sexy ass wife rides a 1990 Springer softail that is salmon pink has drag bars and a 1340 evo motor and Big Radius pipes and I don't like riding with her on my Street Glide cause her bike sounds so good I'm jealous!
Jokes on you it doesnt run, its just an illusion. Every other channel says harley suck and dont last so this cant be true...
You should ship a Harley up to me because I'm a top fan 😜🤣 in Canada bro trade you a 02 Vulcan 800 lol custom with a hyper charger??? Lol let me know 🤠
I don’t think SRK is in the bike selling business anymore. I’m not sure what they are actually doing TBH
Like most Harleys this is another low mileage bike, as the average Harley owner only logs about 1,150 miles a year, according to Harley's own owner's survey.
tomcata1467 lol. Ok. Damn I do that in a month on a Sportster.
Bullshit mate. Do some homework.
evo, best motor they built
thats not old. my Panheads are old.
is that a helicopter?
"no one else sells bikes like us"
Yea ..
they have a service dept, and just don't flip bikes
Embree Smith Sean and his crew take care of their customers. I’ve seen multiple videos where they went out of their way to make things right when something goes wrong.
Dude..did you crash another bike before you jumped on old girl? Your jeans are ripped to shit man...just kidding..that's a nice old ultra.
"The gearshift's great." [ misses a shift ]
"It's not what your ridin', it's where you're goin'." Uh, nope. I purposely don't go to any destination, best way to enjoy riding. Fill the tank, flip a coin. Find new stuff and people. Smile at all the weekend desperadoes with shiny Harleys at the Tim Horton's coffee shops.
I've got a 2010 roadking, hate the twin cam motor but love my bike. I've dumped a lot of money into my motor fixing crap Harley should have designed better. Never had issues out of the evolutions I've owned. To be fair my twin cam "A" motor is not stock and my issues are the fact it's making double the horse power of stock. I wish Harley would get rid of the primary chain BS and get rid of the cam chain.... Link them up direct gear drive! For the Harley haters out there.... You really can't bash the things until you've spent a day or a weekend on one. Go rent one... Bastards feel strange as hell at first but what sold me was a 500 mile day and I wasn't sore after the ride. Women notice the harleys... I'm 45 and I get 20 something women talking to me about my bike. Not sure why but I'll take the attention!
vf12497439 true, they should have been gear drives stock.
And ultra classic some more like mid 20s my fat boy was almost $30,000 new
In 1997?
Shawn stop getting on the bike from the right side ur making ppl crazy...
i do all the time. depends what side im on. but its low and im 6'2"
Look at that oil leak under that bike, typical harley
I own an 02 Electra Glide. 20 years old now. Never leaked. Still running perfectly. I will never sell her. Just saying
@@wingandhog I just bought an 02 ultra classic and I love it
@@lawrence6115 …. Congratulations on your purchase. I think you will really enjoy it. In all honesty, I have never found a reason to justify buying a new Harley. Trust me, I have been tempted many times and even looked at three different 2021 Road Kings and almost pulled the trigger on one, but my old carbureted Harley (with stage 1 & 2) still does the job and keeps me from spending $25k+. On the flip-side, I have had several guys ask me if I would consider selling. There is still a desire for the old-school carbureted Harley’s.
As as side point - I run a GoldWing for my long-distance trips nowadays. But my Harley has been and can still do coast to coast trips if I wanted to. But at 62, I enjoy a little more comfort on long distance trips.
@@wingandhog totally understandable I have a 1985 Honda Goldwing a GL 1200 and it’s super comfortable I can imagine anything newer than it is worlds ahead in comfort. I hope to be still riding when I’m 62
buy some jeans
Penciltuky lol
That ferring sucks
dep deim pep
Crapping about the fu?king radio.
Business can't be doing too well if those are the best pants you have.
They are cheap to overhaul
Dont go over 60mph or it will vibrate to bits.
American Made the real deal. All the cry babies with their little plastic kids toys are turning green with envy have to love it. Little boys, when you grow up and become men then you can buy a Harley-Davidson. All little boys start with the Honda 50cc just some stay boys forever
that bike only has 55, HP at the wheel it has 52000 miles time for a overhaul in 18000 miles
ANOTHER POINTLESS VID
Damn, that is one ugly bike.
That dash is disgusting. Not hating on the bike, I'm sure its all very functional. Also much prefer helemet speakers to exterior. Ill stick to my concours.
Thanks, but I'll take a Japanese built cruiser any day.
Brian J no one ever told you to get rid of it, sounds like your that guy afraid to test ride a Harley
Sounds like you're that guy afraid to admit the Japanese build a better bike?
This is why I have a Harley Softail Springer and a Honda VTX 1300. 2 different bikes with 2 different rides. The Harley is far better around town and lets face it, way cooler looking. The VTX is better for the longer out of town rides. But I never get people standing around praising it's coolness.
Here's something I've noticed. 90% of the people I see, standing around praising the coolness of a bike, haven't got a clue what they're looking at. People are "conditioned" to believe Harley is the better bike, so this is where they gravitate. I'll bet if both bikes were debadged and people weren't told which was the Harley and which was the Japanese cruiser, you'd get a lot more honest answers. I had people LOVE my bike when they thought it was a Harley, then reel it back in, in disbelief when they found out it was a VTX.
Brian J Not sure if people think it's a "better" bike. But there is a lot more attention to detail in the styling. My Springer is a chrome detailed masterpiece, my VTX isn't all that pretty. Both bikes are quality rides though with different strong points and weaknesses
