Hunting Harley's, 1979 FXEF 'metal bobber' part 2

- Todd shows the 1979 FXEF 'metal bobber' he just bought, starts and rides it. The machine was just washed and detailed. in the detail, Gibbs was used which is an anti rusting agent. So you will see a lot of smoke off the machine. it takes a couple of days to burn this off but prevents the bare metal from rusting. for detailed pix go here www.flickr.com/...
for the anti rust stuff, gibbsbrand.com for detail stuff purpleslice.com
7 years later... Cool
Gawd that thing sounded awesome 😎
Just watched this video for the first time. Love the bike and the bare metal look. Always wondered what the best way is to preserve that look without rust ruining it? Clear coat or something else? Also, great job on making those exhaust pipes!
You guessed right, clear coat
@HuntingHarleys Have read about that being done before but wasn't sure if I was remembering correctly. Thank you sir for the reply.
Look and sounds healthy
What a beauty 👍
Test drive up and down the street.
Beautiful scooter
Awesome again Todd. Your videos are like mini documentaries. Great knowledge. Sweet bike.
Hey Todd,still can't believe about that GOOF,bike looks and runs great,good for you!
The builder has done a great job, it's strange why he let it go to that lad! Wish these would turn up in the uk in this condition!
Nice Bobber. I have an 81fxef but kept it stock. Love the original fat bob tanks on this superglide
Sad ditching the metal to the recycler.
Idling on one cylinder
No worries. Cool bike. Tks for quick response.
long gone, don't recall how much
Smokes every time you accelerate. That is not the detailer my friend. That is a wore out/broken rings. Sounds like it has a vacuum leak as well. Nice bike, much like all your finds. History on that 46 knuckle was very cool. What Id do to live my twenties in the 60's. Keep up the good work
wow scraped all the original stuff huh? well who ever built that bike did an excellent job! that bike is a poster child for how those bobbers are built
Thanks for reply and I enjoy your vids. Thanks Todd.
thanks again for sharing your passion with us,wow !!! Take it easy !!
hey hoss, do you ever get buells in your shop?
never
Just a perfect motorcycle! I love it
Cool bike Todd !!!!
Man! That sounds GREAT!!
love this bike
Is there anyway of knowing the rake and stretch of this bike? Just curious
not a clue. I don't keep up with the modern accessory catalogs
So that gibs compound is to in essence season the metal so it doesn’t rust like carbon or cast iron? How often do u apply?
12,30 tomorrow no tonight, thats what you gotta do to get them 1st, nice metal work, what is gibbs,,
And exactly like a shovelhead!
just beautiful. so nice
sounds like she needs to be taken out on the highway for a few hours and just cruise at 65 for a while
sounds strong!
some are, this one is
What do you use to polish chrome on bikes Todd? I havent found anything (besides the car wash) that doesnt leave scratches.
Nice bike Todd, where can I find simple 18" ape bars for an 03 sportster. Thanks.
most of the bobber guys get their bars from local welder's into bikes. For commercial bars, Flanders makes high quality. Any dealer can order from them for you
a guy up here just sold a 76 sporty with the sparkle paint big gas tank decal . this bike was original owner bike , mint for 10 dam I wanted that bike, was that a good deal?
i love this oldman.😄
Hibs in the cylinder huh
Nice carb.
I love it
I have bought mirrors like those off ebay. Not brand name, about 10 bucks ea.
When you rebuild the top end make sure the bottom end is also rebuild because you have to replace all bearings and races my friend has a 1970 shovel and he rebuilt the top end 1 year later he heard a nocking sound coming from the bottom end he then had to pull it all back apart come to find out his connecting rod bearings failed he replaced all bearings and brass inserts engine runs fine now
Wow cool dude.
hunting harleys, I'm a new subscriber. I'm just curious as to what your favorite bike is to ride? what do you personally own/ride? love the videos.
nice bike / what type of rear view mirrors are those?
I did not build this, bought it just like it is
Todd love your page, you have any of these bikes for sale???
How much did this bike sold for? rough idea how much it ll cost to buy a dream bike like this one? thanks
+urbanstructure.ca I forget exactly, somewhere around 8-10k. I assume one might find a similar one in that price range today
Thanks so much. You have great knowledge

most people change seat, handlebars and exhaust within one year of any bike they buy. Not the seat I would of put on it either.
Blowing smoke junk
THAT SEAT THROWS OFF THE LINES, LOOKS GREAT BUT THE SEAT IS HORRIBLE
