That headlamp and fog lights plus being a FLH is just awesome to watch. Videos for shovel heads are starting to crop up. They seem to be all the rage right now. These older engines are probably indestructible with the new synthetic oils out there. Harley needs to get busy and bring back the old gold.
You can's use synthetic in such old engines. Plus, if they make this indestructible machines again nowadays, they will be only selling parts, not motorcycles.
@@KAPANGAAAMASTER Harley has been making Sportsters with Evo engines since the 80s (which are bullet-proof) and they still sell quite well. Also, Amsoil specifically makes a straight 60w synthetic oil that is ideal for older Harley engines (Pan Heads, Knuckle Heads, etc). I use it year round in my 2006 Twin Cam because I live along the Golf coast.
@@roadking155 I know, my point is about synthetic oil, not it's weight. This motorcycles were meant to use mineral 60W oil, which is thicker, synthetic oil is thinner and does not fill spaces between metals inside the.engine in the same way a thick mineral oil would.
Today I bought an FLH Elecra Glide 1971, like brand new and 95% original.
The bike has a very special history: 9/11-2001 the owner removed it from his garage 2 hours before the World Trade Center and his business garage was completely destroyed.
The reason was that he could feel something wrong.
I love this beautiful bike and it is very easy to get it 99% original.
..super Bike !!! I have a
79er FLH E GLIDE in original Condition !
greetings from Hamburg ( Germany ) !
We have similar in a 1978, gorgeous bikes these old girls and fun to ride.
Thank you Ken. For the ride around your beautiful city on that gorgeous Harley-Davidson.
Glad you got a Go Pro to share rides with us! Very cool Harley Shovel head there!
when you killed the engine and then a second later hit the starter button and it instantly fired back up was a very good sign that the engine tune is spot on !!!!! and the starter sounded perfect with the correct size battery cables as there was no "starter drag or lag at all !!!!! you got a cherry Ken as always you don't buy any junk I can afford ....
The new go pro works great it’s nice to see that area I don’t we knew the front of your building watching your show but then taking a trip out there we saw the whole area and you’re a bar restaurant is much needed in a town
I absolutely LOVE the helmet cam. You could learn a lot from SRKCycles/Bikes and Beards UA-cam channel. They have walk around videos and test ride videos before the sell their bikes. Nicely done. I look forward to more.
Cool roads and incredible Harley ⭐️🇦🇺
Awesome camera work feels like im riding
Looks like the mirrors are clear,and it took the bumps nice!
Nicest 79 shovel I've seen since 79.....I couldn't agree more Ken the machinery design of the Pans&shovels are Epic...
It was great to see your museum and your bikes and meet you. Ron
Thanks Ron!
I have a 1976 flh same color my son got from a retired navy chief I sure hope it runs as good after sitting 10 years really like the comrodery you n son have
Nice vid , great bike ! You have such a positive outlook , more power to you with everything you do ! Aussie subscriber for life here .
Thank you Shane! If you ever come to the States you should come to one of our events
Aussie Ken is just lucky finding all his bikes made from unobtainum don't you think? but then he is Kaplan America of mostly unobtainum ....rumor has it that Ken made a deal with the Navi and their resources under home tree on Pandora

Tu mejor video! Buenísimo el onboard. Aunque poco entienda de inglés, disfrute mucho más todo el video, con el pases a has dado. Un saludos desde Buenos Aires. Algun día espero pasar por tu museo
I have a 77 and it will vibrate the hell out of you. lol but does run good after you keep up with tinkering with the Carb as the weather changes.
Hah! Thanks for the inspiration! I'm in the middle of building my first H-D right now, and it just happens to be a 79 Electraglide.

Please do all or most of your next videos with the POV rides. Start getting more bikes to review and ride and people will start to notice.
I agree 💯👍 a walk around and a ride with, is much appreciated.
S&S still builds brand new shovelhead engines that make 100hp+ and will cost you over $8k ...a friend put one in his hard tail chopper and its crazy fast ...pulls wheelies in second
Am curious what is the clutch, is it stock or aftermarket, Beautiful Bike, I got a 1980 FLH , clutch problems, thanks for showing your Ride.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It looked to me that he rolled through a couple of stop signs.
Dude!
Where is Vernon? Eastern CT?
Yes east of Hartford
I built my 1St Harley in 1983 ..it was a 1968 FLH shovelhead ..it is still on the road today running on my rebuilt engine. the secret is having the rotating assembly dynamically balanced ... this can be done at the same place in Indy where I had my Harley balanced >>>
