More and more fantastic historic motorcycles congratulations ! 🤘

Had a 1980 ironhead it’s still riding (gave it to my sister) have a evo and the engine blow out at 30,000 ! People say a lot about AMF but they are tough motors.

I bought a brand new FLH 1200 in 1980 in Australia. I bought the 1200 because the 80ci had alloy wheels, and I wanted spokes. it was a smart move because all the 80ci engines seized the rear cylinder whenever they got hot. Originally the 1980 FLH did not have a hinge in the rear fender and had 1200 in the fender tips.

Love this bike. Thanks for sharing.

2:38 “as bad as it looks” my friend that bike is beautiful!!

Thanks for the information on the California custom

Todd rockin' the beard back then.

Man thats an awesome looking bike . Love the lines

I really believe that the shovelhead is the best sounding of all of HD motors !!!!

I bought a used 1975 shovel head super glide while a sophomore in high school. Those were fun days!

Perfect example of what a Harley Davidson should be, unlike the mechanics nightmares of today. Sometimes I think AMF was'nt so bad anyhow.

+HuntingHarleys thats right AMF invested in the tooling that was used to build the Evo! As for the new machines they arent that hard to work on. I graduated from MMI in 94 and have taken many factory update classes since. Im not a big fan of the TC motor though. I see a lot of bikes coming into our shop with shifted flywheels. Lots of electrical snafus as well. Moslty due to cheap Chinese made parts.

Adam Stein, Harley Corporate took over once the Twinky bikes started being made, very sad

It's like a drum kit orchestra beautiful. But definitely deafening wow

Funny how times change ,80s none of my friends wanted a bagger they came with geritol and a cane. We stripped them 'just like this too. FAST forward now baggers are pulling wheelies and everwhere.

my name is paolo, i'm your subscriber to your you tube channel. you have some beautiful harleys. compmenti ... I have 2 harley shovelhead flh 1980 and a heritage springer 1997

Absolutely love this bike. Anybody know what length fishtails those are?

bloody nice bike !

Damn I want one that's a untouchable dream

I love these vids. You should have a show on Velocity or the Speed channel. No doubt it would be a hit.

Now that'ss a HOG 😎👍💕💕💕

I bought a 79 74 CI FLH in Longview Texas brand new and was told then that 79 was the last year for a 74. I never saw a 1200 after 79 anyway. Apparently that was the wrong info. Mine was fire engine red and had spoke wheels. It was a good bike.

Most civilian big twins 79 to 81 were 80 inch, most cop bikes, most FXEs and most FXEFs were 1200

That is a nice one, roughly what's the hi blubook on one similar. How can I tell if its a flh frame?

Nice find on 53 pan,2,600 miles like the silver color,still around?.... 😯

do you know what seat setup is on that?

what size bars are those. love the bike and style I have a 94 FLSTN looking to get some taller bars and debating height. so just for a reference. I love this look bare minimum cruiser, people forget there're bikes not cars sometimes.

Another thing about the 1980 FLH. The fuel tanks were different than the 1981. In 1980 they sat lower over the engine.

i was in biz for myself 30 some odd yrs , and that rule always applies , If you want it done right? Great bike find todd!

Hey Todd, any idea what the 2 tone color option was on this motorcycle, I can't find a 2 tone option for 1980, would it being a police issue have anything to do with that. Love the color and tank decal. Having trouble finding a factory picture of one like this. Thanks!!

yea , just picked an 89 heritage , and i started "parting it down" to clean , and its true , each part you take off , ( bags, sissy bar , backrest , lug rack ,windsheild , it looks better and better, didnt want to put back on , but ol lady gave me those puppy dog eyes when i replied " think im gonna ride it stripped for a while , so i told her the "backrest go s on real easy dear dont worry" and my rebel days were over in bout a half a week , but , its starting to get cool here in memphis so i

prices range all over the map on this stuff. it is a matter of what it is worth to you at the moment. you might pay anywhere from $2000 to $15,000. the model of a 1970's or 1980's is in the VIN and motor number.

Knowledgeable Guy

I just picked up a 1981 FLH Shoveled. Paint is only two years old,all chromed out ! All I have to do now is remove the bags,put fish tail pipes on,and get rid of the windshield. 5,000

nice, look into the rollers for the lifter's. often this is your 'knock'

glad you enjoy the vids. the TV show powers do not want use as a show. namely, we cannot fake this and that makes their production costs too high

Mine is a 78 thanks man
