    I just recently bought one of the same. 97 fxsts. Same condition too, just black and gold original paint. Super clean, super nice. Love these bikes.

    The machines made today are made to throw away, not to be able to rebuild. The last of the classic's will be the EVOs

      I would disagree that the Evo's are the last of the real harley's.
      Earlier TC (pre injection) in my opinion would be considered the last of the greats for HD.

    People prefer different sounds of course. Vance and Hines makes these Proker pipes for all EVO models. I personally prefer how these pipes sound and how they make the machine run over other models of exhaust.

    true, you need a computer to work on the new stuff, not the same. Give me points and a condenser

    But your right , this bike in the mid 80s was more n likely designed on a peice of paper and put together by hand right ? and first to bring back the springer front end , basically a wide glide w springer right ? didnt Willie G have to do with that still?

    Love all your videos. My boss e-mailed me a link to one of them about a week ago and I've watched MANY hours of them! Seeing as you're an obvious collector of truly, classic Motorcycles maybe you could answer this. A friend and I were having a discussion, after one of your vids, about what the classics will be 30 years from now. I don't particularly think there will be, due to production numbers etc.. What's your take? What do you think will be a true collectable 30 years from now? thanks

    Thats a fine looking Springer, I saw a 97 like that in Morgantown WV, That was white, I would love to have one. I have a question for you, I have a 2000 roadking and want to change the pipes, I want pipes that have a good rumble but not excessively load, What would you suggest.. Thanks again for sharing the video's.. Tom

    Maybe im getting old , but my feelings are hurt and I realize how closer my mentors are to extintion , everytime i see a newer
    ( whatever they wanna call it but its only a shadow of it ) you know what!
    But The older bikes respond to emotion , they actually care for you back , while the newer ones seem to be only part of the MATRIX and ROBOTIC?
    To me , they will never have a story to tell !
    Ha , and besides , to change the pipes , dont you have to change COMPUTER CHIP ?
