that is because it is the same bike. There are two videos previous to this showing the same machine not running right that Larry Suttle had done the tune up. Duncan finally got it right. When I have time, I will find these earlier vids and post them in the video comment's. These candy color's were 'weak' and over time often fade
Ive ha a 70 for 28+ years...same colour, repainted it 28 year ago!....damn.....same blue, but with white on the fender sides. pretty bike, see my picture
I've seen this video a few times. You find the most incredible of Harleys. I tell every enthusiast I meet about your channel. I'm a big fan. I know you are busy but please tell me why did Harley put the front wheel brake drum on the right side for years 1969, 1970, and 1971? Harley did this with the Springer FXSTS (exception being the 2008 FXSTSSE that used a wider front wheel/tire combination) but NOT for the FLSTS Heritage Springer, which also used a wider front wheel/ tire combination. This has been a nagging question for me for years. I've asked but nobody seems to know. If anyone knows it's gotta be you. Thank you.
I own one of each, a 67 and a 70...the 70s cable goes right into the brake, and it seem like a better idea, the 67 does a weird little angle before it goes into the brake...Plus, the 70 looks way nicer.
yEA IT ALL WORKS OUT IN THE END OR IT DONT..SOME MECHANICS ARE CROOKS...yEP HATE TO BUST BUBBLES...Pretty ass bike ye got there pilgrim....thanks for eyeshots brother
I watched the 7/2/2012 of this same mc ,you said you just got it back from larry sutter and was supposed to fix the carb problem ,what a joke ,i hope you got you money back from that guy.stick with duncan.
So HOW MUCH…it’s a secret… guys make me laugh.. everything but what you might sell it for.. Yeah I Know Almost Every Spec. For Everything On The Earth Just Like You.. Who Doesn’t?? So What It Worth ? ?? Ya Know In American. Dollars.. I’d Say 9.. People … who don’t know shinola .. from dog ship… barnicals.
These old bikes are only worth what 2 people agree on. 5 minutes later it might be worth a whole lot more or a whole lot less. Not enough exist for a set market value
glad too see u got a good mechanic,amazing machine and what a sound !! just beautiful
take it easy.again thanks for the video.
Thanks Todd,the bike sounds great.
I've always wanted a bike of this year! Has so many cool things on it
Nice really makes my day to see such great videos!Thanx again
my 1970 flh also has the same gas caps, same blue white, does not have the red lights on rear
good thing lots of guys feel the same way. I get to buy their bikes when they inherit them

My dream bike right there I've always wanted my birth year bike
Great stuff, When are you going to write a book on all this stuff that only you knows?
that is correct and that is what I was saying in the video
I just picked up a 70 FLH same color with 27,000 original miles and it runs like a top. The cluch and shifting is a little crunchy at times
watch my 4 speed clutch video
these vids are always 'wavily'. Again, not sure why. Better some video then no video I suppose. Glad you enjoy the vids!
now is that a Buddy seat?
Yep
Whats the deal with those amf paint jobs that blue 72 flh vid youshot 6/12 same spot where the paint peeled off
don't know, these are top of the line camera's

505harleys no one knows for sure, so I suspect it was simply the designer's idea of what looked good

WAS 1970 FLH HARLEY DAVISON MADE BY AMF
Yes. They didn't start saying AMF until late 71 on the tank with a decal over the tank badge.
My left cap says vented or something hopefully that is original shit

I think the first year for front disc brakes was 1972 !!!
I just took all my bikes out of Larry's. Good way to treat ones best customer, do bad work and wonder why they leave
Nothing sounds like and old Shovelhead, needs and S&S carb though. Put the stock carb in storage.
Nice bikes but you're wrong it is 54 years old
beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Otherwise everyone would like the same things and there would be no differences in the world, BORING

1970s Harley-Davidson were junk back then
All depends on who the mechanic was. Some were excellent, some not so hot. Some didn't run from HD
