My 99 ultra just turned 90k. And still runs great. I seem to over maintain, but hay, she's paid for. Just up grade a little bit each year. Finally got my progressive shocks.
I cracked 70k on my 2011 ultra limited and it is still kicking no problem!
I own the same model/type of HD..mine is FLHTCUI. I traded 2 motorcycles in 2015 to get my HD and it is Aspen Blue (Teal?) and got a flying eagle painted on the front surface of the fairing. What I traded was 1977 Honda Goldwing GL1000 and 1976 Honda CB750-F series Supersports. I have done basic maintenance on it since purchase...Oil change, battery replacement w AGM type, new tall mirrors so that I do not have to look down to the mirrors but they are at my vision levels..I would still like to have much taller mirrors because I do not slump while riding, I sit tall and straight...a posture that I used as I grew up riding various bikes in India. Air filter..cleaned it out and recharged the existing K&N filter. Bike runs great and at night, it glows with blue LED..blue on teal..Just completed 37,000 miles. Also cleaned out both master cylinder brake fluid reservoirs and filled them with fresh DOT4 BF. I got some GoPro video of my bike on my channel. No major issue..I love my FLHTCUI.
80k on my 07, came from a sport bike and a magna. This is a great practical road bike. Haven't done anything but tires and brakes. Ride it daily. Thing always starts and is a great commuter. Never thought id be on a Harley let alone a UC but it's the best bike in my mind. To each their own but if you ride everyday you'll know what I'm talking about.
I been riding motorcycle all my life,from Suzuki, Honda and Kawasaki Concorde 1000 cc. I still have my 1996 KAWASAKI Concorde 1000. My street bike but my long distance tour bike is my 2010 Ultra classic electric Glide only have 40000plus miles. Got to Las Vegas and Loughlin Nevada few times. I love my Harley Davidson and always adding more accessories until I finish. I want to get a trailer for it to go cross country. Upgrade motor in the future with a cam gear. I just love the sound the Rumble and listen to my stereo system since I upgrade my Speakers (Hogstune). Didn't like the stock cheap speaker.
2013 CVO Ultra Classic here, what a great beast she is!
Have one too in the other side of the ocean, she’s a hell of machine!
My 2013 Streetglide is like this after i installed 13 inch Legend shocks. Smooth sailing
Awesome, I ride with the same type of simple leather gloves. Very comfortable and I was recently hit by a Tacoma, the gloves slid on the ground but there was only minimal abrasion. My hands were completely fine.
Wow!
I love my 1999 ultr classic injection. Like riding on a cloud.
Love the gloves your rockin
When I took my msf course the instructor had one of these with 200k miles though I don't know what year the bike was. He was semi retired military and did a lot of long group rides.
Great demo ride. It sounds awesome. The Harley shake at idle is Priceless. The cup holder.... Throw it in the bag for now. Thanks for another great video.
angel suarez The shake helps keep your coffee nicely frothy. Lol.
The cup holder shaking was a real distraction. That is great for milk skakes i guess! I had a 2018 Ultra Limited and that truly is a lot lot smoother!
Amen. Love the positive vibes
Last year I bought a 2005 Electra Glide 88 bored out to a 103. I never thought I would own such a bike.....I LOVE IT!!! I call it the Caddy. Awesome bike.
I was thinking of getting one of those drinks holders. Don't think I'll bother now. Probably makes a good cocktail though...
To answer your question, 2007 was the first year with 6-speed transmissions on the tourig bikes.
Nice side step of awnser for what was wrong!!
Got an '08 Ultra Classic. Love it.
Same here I like my 08, never getting rid of it. Just updated the stock headlights, it looks brand new and has made a world of difference.
I have a 2000 Ultra with 62,000 on it. It has the 95" conversion and cam and it runs like brand new.
I did the same thing 95 kit at 52k runs awesome went with bigger cams but doin well great 👍 video
The hands free part was awesome! I love to give throttle hand a break lol - with discretion...
so what did you find that caused the need for engine work?
I live in Southern California and I recognized these roads immediately and haven't lived in Lancaster County in 12 years. Those porches, houses, business signs, and shoulder of the road were a dead giveaway to my senses. Viva los Amish!!!
I think that's Lancaster Pennsylvania, no interstate 30 in Cali.
What kind of gloves are you wearing?
I just luv air cooled vtwin engines. That m8 is amazing
That’s a twin cam not M8. Both great motors. I have a twin cam
I have this exact same bike. As of this winter, My Bike is a 98" with cams, head work and a Fat Cat... 115hp and 115tq
I have one the same model and i have 70 K on it only thing i have done to it is change the cam followers and regular maintenance. I have friends that have much older Harley's.
My 2000 Road King Classic has 63k on it but only 8k miles on the rebuild. My Road King Classic is awesome! :)
My 09 won't shut the cruise off when I pull in the clutch lever but everything else you mentioned will.
Oh, and looking forward to the hellcat video!
GREAT! Just roll it under my tree. I wont mind! :-D
Good vid and hope you have a safe & blessed week bro.
My first bike was a 2006 wide glide. It got wrecked in 2014. I had a little over 60,000 miles. About a month ago. I acquired a 2017 ultra limited with 8,600 miles. I just put over a thousand miles on it. Since I got it.
Noticed your voice cutting out due to the motor vibration, lol. Know it's an old video, but it's still funny. The owner traded back in for a goldwing, 😆
Lokking for the walk around video and the listing for this bike on your website... Can't find either... Any help?
I didn't see it either.
6 years later I'm watching this with a 92 in the garage needing a wiring harness
My 01electra glide is about to hit 70000 and still runs like a new one
That bike needs an exhaust upgrade
I love my Harley but learned early on to own a Harley you either have to have deep pockets or learn to work on it yourself. Ohh and one other thing stay the hell away from the dealerships for maintenance.
Funny..seen posts that say the exact opposite?!
I’ve done everything to my Harley customization or maintenance
That’s so awesome
Love you're videos, anywho just bought an 05 and the guy I bought it from said the dealer put in a 6 speed screaming eagle transmition in some of these out of the store per request upon the buyer, can anyone attest to this.... Thanks in advance.
look at the cup holder shake.
Are Yinz gonna be reopening?
At the end of this video I have one question - Why can my Ultra Classsic last forever? I suspect it has something to do with wide availability of repair but I was waiting for some info about their design, engineering or manufacturing tolerances. Hope the 13 Ultra Classic I'm about to buy lasts longer than I can ride it. And hope this feedback is constructive.
Yeah the title is misleading. I just bought one I was hoping for more information on actual reliability
I love that you add scripture. I wish you'd talk more about the scripture of the day. Great ride. Ty
love that you start with a bible quote..thats cool man
Those were really nice gloves! What are they?
Standard tan work gloves. You can get them at Harbor Freight or Home Depot.
I’m looking for an older Ultra gem that runs this good... 👍
I have a 2003 Harley-Davidson black and silver hundredth anniversary model has everything Haven from the lower legs I'm the only owner at the shop for clit at the luggage containers to put into the side bags steering cover little pockets up on the windshield backrest all kinds of stuff one or two little scratches that you really have to be looking for but it runs great just came back from Florida with it it's been completely redone at 65000 66000 miles runs like a bear
Also note that 99% of all of miles on this and then going cross-country into all the national parks
~~> Thank You for your videos! I look forward to them ,actually, as there is an element of trust and humanism on your demeanor and business attitude(s)in par with a Christian Influence and a spiritual well ~ being ... (This is a compliment , by the way).I am very mentally "ready" to purchase a bike from ya'll but run headlong into a physical discrepancy as my balance was greatly effected by having experienced a broken neck "back in the Day?" and am pondering whether to purchase either a HD trike or go back to the 2 wheel scenario .It has been some time since My riding days and am anxious yet very cautious reintroducing myself to the dangers of Florida Elderly cage drivers with cataracts and hearing deficits. On top of this ''Floriduh'' has a high impact purchase fee for out of state purchases which coincides with local mistrust of local HD agencies that are way too aggressive sales ppl!....Will continue to view and perhaps find a bike i might want ,considering..Ty once again! You might be hearing from me.~~> Rick
Agreed!
89000 on a 99 Electra glide classic and going up lol
thats awesome
Did you have to rebuild engine ?? Also how’s the vibration? You ever replace the motor mounts yet ?
Hahaaa!! Intro is funny ... You have all that protective gear and then you put on those weak ass shoes with no ankle protection, reminds me of a Jim Carrie move .... Ace Ventura . Ha!
Yeah, if prayer worked he wouldn't need any of that protective shit...
For $3500 dollars worth of motor work that should have a stage four package and exhaust upgrade? JMO ☝🤓💨👍
The dashboard covers up much more of the road than necessary.
Nice bike
I have a 01 Ultra Classic with 81k that runs perfectly. It's all in how you take care of the bike.
My buddy had 340K on his 07 Street Glide when he totaled it last year. The motor had never been opened, just regular maintenance. I have 100K on my 07 CVO Ultra, I bought it used and regularly put pore miles on it than the original owner. Everything works, and it's a CVO so there is a lot of extra (and useless) wiring crap on the bike. I have no worries at all. Why are people impressed with 60-70K on a Harley? Of course it runs "like new". If you have such a bike, it is a garage queen, you barely ride it. Griping about parts availability? You have M7M injection? Go aftermarket, convert to a carburetor. My buddy bought n 08 Ultra with a few thousand miles on it dirt cheap last year. I think he has put 20K on it already. The guys I know with news Harleys have no more or less problems than the guys with old ones. It's just that the solutions can be a little different. Federal law mandates replacement part availability from manufacturers for 10 years, so it certainly isn't just Harley that does this. Harley has the strongest aftermarket support of any vehicle on the road, and I don't mean motorcycle princess bling crap, I mean you can build a bike from aftermarket parts. No worries at all. Unless you talk to a Harley dealership about it, then you have serious worries. I know guys with the old MM injection, they just convert to a carb. I know people that regularly ride knuckles, pans, shovels, and evos...my other bike is an evo.
Judges 1:19
"The LORD was with Judah and enabled them to take possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the people who were living in the valley because those people had iron chariots."
Moral of the story, don't mess with doods on Ultras. Iron Chariots are badass!
Harley-Davidson Chinese fabricated parts are holding up quite well these days. Fabricated in China, assembled and supposedly made in USA.
Feel better? If people like you would pay for American made parts, they would still be making them here...
Hd makes a dependable bike. Some ppl still remember the AMf years. I've learned to trust their reliability.
Hey Shawn. Love how you start off with the Word! Check out Scripture Typer from your preferred mobile store. I've found it a really great way to get God's Word memorized. Be blessed bro.
if you don't drive it it will last forever😕
I figure there would be no coffee left when the light turns green.
I like your video but this one the harley shake so
much I tough the cup gonna fall down or maybe
somes of your teets
Hey srk or anyone that has info on this, I just picked up an 06 FLHTCUI ( electra glide ultra classic ). Its been in the low 100's here lately and I noticed my Air temp gauge was reading over 100 F. the gauge peaks at 120. I got on FB group page and heard its just ambient temp sensor. Are they correct or is this something I need to have looked at? Thanks in advance.
That’s outside temp nothing to worry about
I bought Electra Glide 2001 3 months ago, was my dream, spend 6000£ .I had many bikes before, busa, gixxer,R1, Zzr11,Zx10s, Paneuropeans,Super Tenere, Cagivas 1000, first day driving Electra i said to myself "why you lost all these years driving other bikes and no Harleys", it was my mistake.This sound!!!This volume!!!And the name meaning too much!!!
He bought a Gold Wing and never looked back.
Amen.....With the scripture prior to riding reading...!
Why? The people who wrote that weren't even smart enough to invent a fucking saw blade...
Thumbs up for the scripture.
Why? I bet you still believe the Earth is flat also...
I like the scriptures too
I have a 93 FLHTC with only 53,000 miles. And Harley dealers like all dealership mechanics are idiots.So now after 26 years the base gasket starts seeping.
When the base gasket is weeping, is that an expensive job to fix?
Thanks
At that mileage - a Gold Wing motor is just broken in so what's the hoopla about a bike that needed an engine rebuild not on warrantee ?
Yeah, but it's still just a Rice Burner...
Don’t be hatin’ on something your mommy won’t let you have.
Goldwing... LMAO Ugliest bike out there next to the Fury. Those handlebars look like some warehouse gadget to pick stuff from shelves or a maybe a garden tiller... Goldwing... LoooL
Gold wings are ugly rolling sofas
LOL will not be me telling you what year they went to the 6 speed. I know Victory went to the 6 speed in 2006.
Baird's Bikes Videos
6 speed and 96 c.i. came out in 07
Same thing happened with our local harley dealer 2k in parts and it was a ground wire
Scripture = sub
Thanks for today's words of wisdom I'll be back for tomorrows.
First time I see you start a clip with the engine already running. I wonder.
zeev aloni i would say thats because he used to catch so much slack for starting out on a test drive with a cold engine
Won't last if you keep lugging pulling up from 2k rpm
Lmfao going 20 in 3rd gear
Praise the lord. I am, like the oil light, good, on a highway
goldwing!
Rice Burner! No Thanks!
juss hit 73000 miles on my ultra
I love your videos but don't you guys offer a warranty on bikes you sell? pretty sucky if you don't, just saying.
These are all used bikes what type of warranty are you looking for I'm interested to know
He took the bike to a dealer and the “technician” aka parts changer just kept changing parts? Did he pay this $3000? I would have taken it to a real mechanic.
Does this guy even own a pair of jeans or real leather gloves that aren't yellow gardening gloves that my wife wears??? At least he rides a Harley, that's a positive!!!
I thought you were talking 150k plus...62k ain't nuthin!!!
Unless you never changed the cam chain tensioner. Then your are in for a big surprise soon 😁
ElectraWillem Lmfao, and thats no joke!
07 went to 6 speed
I find it very strange that harley haters always bashing on harley videos..wtf are you doing here anyways!lol!anyhow,haters gonna hate no matter what!.
1st reason, it's a Harley!
I've heard too many horror stories about Harleys to ever actually own one. They maybe good bikes but they don't make anything I like.
Mostly people not doing proper maintenance Harley is way pass the Amf years
Lots of tourring Harley's have high miles on them because owners ride them year in and year out.
Then why are you watching this video skippy ?
I just bought one for 2000$ it has a new motor
Thats one hell of a sticky note, figuratively speaking.
112000 on my 2003 Electraglide.
Harley's are really not that much more then a metric bike and a btr resale value.
how much is Jesus paying you for those short ads.. think we don't notice.
Jesus paid in full already with his life. He she'd his blood and became the sacrificial lamb. All you have to do now is ask Jesus into ur heart.
Any scooter like this can last 'forever' IF YOU CAN FIND PARTS FOR IT. H-D has a bad habit of forsaking bikes 10-years old and older. I have a 1998 FLHTCUI 95th Anniversary and I have one HELL of a time finding some specific parts I need. And don't get me started about Magnetti Marelli...
Called it a scooter...maybe reads magazines and watches UA-cam more than rides bike. (Kidding, joke, ha ha) Convert it to a carburetor. The guys I know with news Harleys have no more or less problems than the guys with old ones. It's just that the solutions can be a little different. Federal law mandates replacement part availability from manufacturers for 10 years, so it certainly isn't just Harley that does this. Harley has the strongest aftermarket support of any vehicle on the road, and I don't mean motorcycle princess bling crap, I mean you can build a bike from aftermarket parts. No worries at all. Unless you talk to a Harley dealership about it, then you have serious worries.
@@FernandoChaves It's a scooter...
Based on the video title, thought this would be about the 99% of Hardly Runningson owners in this state that are simply posers with too much money on their hands. They piss away a fortune on an inferior motorcycle only to leave it parked in the garage, pulling it out to the driveway on warm sunny days to show it off and have the neighbors think they are badass bikers and only ride about 30 miles a year...that's how their bike would last so long. To those type I say, "sorry Dr. Dickhead, 30 grand and 30 miles does not make you a biker." I do have a neighbor that him and his wife ride theirs fairly often, but not anywhere near how much I ride either my Honda or my Kawasaki all year, cold, snow, rain, etc. My old Hardly would NEVER stand up to how I ride and kept breaking down. I can afford the bike, just not all the parts, maintenance, down time...nope, no more HDs for me. I need a reliable bike that doesn't mind being left in the extreme elements year round without letting me down. Besides, does anyone really think that the bike knows, or gives a rat's ass, that the sticker on the side says Hardly? And now the insults from the Harley brainwashed that drank the kool-aid will begin because they are all butt hurt.
Yeap......I got a new HD and the thing broke on me within a week. Did proper engine break in within one day, and rode it like hell the rest of the week. Did proper warm up and crap too, and engine blew after a week. Been on my MT09, wheelies, track days, stunt sessions, and shes been fine. Getting pegged at limiter all the time, and going strong after 14K. Theres a few people who bring their bikes out twice a year, claiming it lasts forever.....yea, that 20 year old bike that gets 30 miles a year of course is going to last a while because it is never ridden. One guy I met claims he is a real rider, yet his HD road glide king classic ultra deluxe softail low boy has only gotten 1K miles in 3 years. I have had mine MT a year. Not to mention the whole power thing. Oh you have 1800cc and only make 100hp and 150ftlb? I am running a 847cc making more hp and about half the torque. Its the reason why the new Indian 1901cc is a joke too. Vmax and M109R have smaller engines and make tons more power.
Nona, Anger management?
Quik Horse, 1: you might want to get some spelling lessons or at least autocorrect on your computer so you don't look completely illiterate and 2: I'm not the least bit angry. In fact, anger has nothing to do with my comment. I am simply pointing out facts that most Hardly riders are posers and that Hardly makes a mediocre bike at best and they are way over priced and unreliable, that is why I sold mine and quit drinking the Hardly Runningson Kool Aid. If you are butt hurt it just shows that you are most likely one of the poser to which I refer.
Nona Ubiz
You sound like an angry child.
Would you leave a
Brand new corvette in the weather if you had a garage?
Would you leave a tool outside when you could put it in a garage ?
No so the garage queen statement is a foolish comparison
Most Harley have no problems if you ride it like a high rev engine without building it to handle that of course shits gonna happen.
I doubt you bought a bike then within a week of a brand new bike it blew up
You sound like a jealous honda fanboy keyboard Rossi.
People can ride what they wanna ride but people
Like you just create division
Like it’s the cool thing to do.
When you grow up you’ll realize you don’t leave nice shit out in the weather. Now go ahead and tell me how your Honda sits out in the weather without a battery tender or cover all season and has no issues.....
I’m really interested in your bullshit opinion
Tell me more please enlighten the UA-cam community with your intelligence.
Obviously you are a poser of which I refer. I am 60 years old and have been riding since my first minibike age 8. I have no problem with people parking a bike in the garage, only when it stays there 99.9% of the time like most Hardly Runningson owners. No doubt you are one of them. As a matter of fact, I DO leave my bikes out in the elements and ride all year, hence have no need for a battery tender. Tenders are only for little pussies like you that never ride enough to stop the battery from going flat. I am not the least bit angry. I owned a Harley in the past and it was a POS and I will never pay that much for an inferior bike again. I can purchase a Honda or Kawasaki that is equal to or better than a comparable HD and thousands of dollars less. Either of them will ride smoother, require less maintenance, are more reliable, are less expensive to insure, and will outperform the HD WITHOUT requiring it to be "staged" read that as another Hardly Runningson scam. I once drank the Kool-Aid, too, so I understand, but I will not do it again. My ass doesn't care what name is stuck on the side of the tank, but my wallet and my intelligence both do. Ride what you want, I don't care, it's your decision, I just think that HD is better at marketing than they are at making motorcycles. I am not the only one with such a view about Harley's. If you have never heard of Sonny Barger he is a founding member of the Hell's Angels in Oakland (1957) and in his book, which a excerpt can be found on Wikipedia, he writes "In terms of pure workmanship, personally I don't like Harleys. I ride them because I'm in the club, and that's the image, but if I could I would seriously consider riding a Honda ST1100 or a BMW. We really missed the boat not switching over to the Japanese models when they began building bigger bikes. I'll usually say "Fuck Harley-Davidson." So, would you consider Sonny a "Honda fanboy" or a "keyboard Rossi" (whatever the Hell that is), too? Quit playing with yourself in your mommies basement and go get your motorcycle endorsement and buy a bike and ride the damn thing all year long and then when your HD POS keeps breaking down and you can't afford all of the repairs or the down time, you, if you have even a modicum of intellect, will understand how good HD is their BS propaganda.
can but WONT.... just like i could give a shit but DONT
awesome thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
no hands not very cool man
An EVO powered bike CAN literally last forever. The EVO engine was designed to be inexpensively rebuilt, and if you want, you could even put an S&S engine in it. A well taken care of EVO can go 100,000 miles. The Twin Cam was built using Japanese technology. It was built to be disposable. Yes, for the moment it can be repaired. But there doesn't seem to be nearly as much aftermarket support for the Twin Cam. And while it can be rebuilt, it will cost several times as much as it would cost to rebuild an EVO.
Calling an ultra classic a great handling bike is the definition of a stretch.
Yeah, like you have ever fucking rode one...
Tramp I haven‘t. But there is no way a 403 kg harley cruiser can be called a sharp handling bike come on now.
My 2004 handles better the my ex vulcan !!
I was all excited but you lost me at the scripture not my cup of tea
Stick around, the taste of truth gets better ! PEACE
We dont need your silly superstitious nonsense. Your mythology has nothing to do with motorcycles.
To each his own, Jim. I'm sure your history will reveal your response.
@@vernonchamberlain7532 wow, that almost made sense......I guess.
62.000miles and "ENGINE REBUILD" ???!!!HARLEY I THING IS ONLY FOR LAUGH,xaxaxa, shit engines, why to buy Harley???To rebuild the engine when i will see 62.000miles??xaxa
great big fat floppy heaps of rubbish. Too big too heavy
Just because you don't like big and heavy H-D touring rigs does not diminish their quality in any way.
they aren't a practicable motorcycle
Why? I own one and it is the most practical motorcycle I ever had and I have had around 14. The saddlebags hold water, food, fix flat kits, an air pump, owner's manual, clothing, rain gear, spare goggles and clothes!
The windshield protects you on the superhighways from debris, from hard driven rain, from snow. Also the cold. Then when it's warm outside the windshield comes of in 30 seconds without tools. You get the wind in your fave ride! Name another motorcycle that does that?
I get 45 mpg! It is a great Touring ride or an around town ride w/o the windshield.
I have ridden my FLHP over the tops of Tennessee mountains on dirt roads that go uphill and then downhill, with deep loamy sand, gravel, rocks in the path, low hanging tree branches, deep water ruts, tree roots, water mud holes and never ever put a foot down because of the low end engine torque. Along the way the suspension kept me from getting beat up like on my other machines.
Touring, cruising, daily ride, bad weather ride, wafr weather ride, a machine that you can do some shopping for food because it has storage.
No valve adjustment-ever. Spin on oil cartridge, belt drive. ABS, and the H-D is the only motorcycle in the world that disconnects the linked brakes front and rear to activate only the rear break at parking lot -tight maneuvering speeds by dragging only the rear brake.
Tell me again why you say that they are not Practical.
all that's fine. But they a shitty lean angle. Firm underfoot a nd manouvreable on bad surfaces. I'd prefer a true tourer. Something made by BMW or KTM. Even their tourers can get too large
The lean angle is just fine. Obviously better than your comment implies. BTW, why do you write using vulgar expressions? My guess is that sort of language serves to underline your anti-Road King agenda. I'm not having any of it, not from the likes of you!
