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.
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?
Hey Todd i know this is an old video but if you see this id like to know what you think of front brake upgrades on springer front ends? Iv been looking around a bit and not sure its worth the money or not. Any info would be great. Love the channel
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
@@HuntingHarleys I have the same set I'm currently putting on a TC88 Springer and cannot find another example with the actual model name. Porker pipes does not come up even in their historical obsolete database at V&H.
i believe it was 80 or 81 last year kickstart you can buy kits for 88 inch twin cams but i doubt you could kick anything bigger than that over i know my 103 would not kick over
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 ?
+HuntingHarleys I got a 97 lowrider got with 53 thousand miles on. I ride it everyday except in heavy rain. runs strong an great. evo motors are meant to last twin scam may as well unload a magazine into the motor
Thanks for this cool Video 👍 It helps me to reactivice my old Springer in the Garage
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.
I love old school Harleys! This one even runs old school! :)
Had a '89. Every bit as good lookin' as that one. Wish I'd never sold it.
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.

Most EVOs had no injection
I have a 99 fxsts. I love it. To all people who bash the ride, I bet you have never rode one. BTW, those bars on yours look great.
Those are the only ones who ever do. I’ve heard it all. They bounce, they wobble, they’re rough. None is true.
@@Patrick_B687-3 NOT TRUE !
That's a awesome bike , I used to have a 97 lowrider the same color , loved that bike !!

true, you need a computer to work on the new stuff, not the same. Give me points and a condenser
John I am in Los Angeles. The amount varies tremendously, can be between 30 to 70
thanks! those porker pipes really make the sound on these EVOs
That’s just a beautiful Harley Davidson.
I have an 05 springer. Great bike, but man, I wish it was an ole Evo. Great video as always man
Agree .Have had my 98 FXDWG now since 2005.
Great Bike.
Gorgeous bike...sounds fantastic
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?
One of the nicest Harley’s ever made. One of my favorites! Would love to have mine again. Is it for sale??
I'd like to see how the springers do hitting mountain twisties hard, as we do!
pretty good to be honest...I had one for years and it was far better than I expected (did a lot of the Alps here in Europe)
my dream bike
Im picking up a springer cross bones great feeling bikes

Shoulda let it warm up more !
Lol cold? Try living in England 😉😂 wonderful bike. I have a 98 fxstc. Cheers hunting hsrleys
Anyone here know what the exact model name for those actually are? I know their V&H but what kind.
Porker pipes

That's weird. Early 2000s late 90s it said on the pipe!
FUUUCK!!! THIS BIKE IS A REAL BEAUTY!!!
When was kickstart no longer an option?
i believe it was 80 or 81 last year kickstart you can buy kits for 88 inch twin cams but i doubt you could kick anything bigger than that over i know my 103 would not kick over
Harley Davidson I Like the most
Beautiful bike no 20 kicks needed for the evolution motor.
Junk
@@abolishguncontrollaws5689 if it's reliable and don't piss oil its no good right lol
@@craigbranscum4041 if it ain't a shovel or knuckle*
@@abolishguncontrollaws5689 knuckle is a prize ,the shovelhead on the other hand is hands down the biggest POS Harley ever made
@@craigbranscum4041 Better than an evo
Get that Evo carb tuned up!

How much
Sold years ago
After all these years, how can it in this mile?
+ömer Benian not everyone rides their bikes daily. I know of bikes from the teens with only a few thousand miles on them and that are like brand new
holy :(
+HuntingHarleys I got a 97 lowrider got with 53 thousand miles on. I ride it everyday except in heavy rain. runs strong an great. evo motors are meant to last twin scam may as well unload a magazine into the motor
IT'S TOO LOUD!!... I love it.
nice
Now Harley makes electric bikes WTF . Why would anyone not love that sound.
All machines must be electric in California by 2035
yes , its called control of choice , And by damn , THATS THE AMERICAN WAY ! ha you know ?
The last good Harley.
It's never seen water 😂
My lawn mower starts on the first pull after 5 months of winter storage. Don’t give me that “cold start” bullshit.
Get a life, u ride a Honda!
😂🤣
I do 500 miles in a weekend… off-road…
