Love all the AMF era tank graphics. 5 speed transmission was first introduced in 1980 on the rubber mounted FLT Tour Glide chassis.

That's by far the best sounding old shovelhead I've heard in a long long time. It's also the cleanest!

Now that is sweet👍S&S make superior repro parts, carbs and whole engines. If I was doing a rebuild I’d use their Pan in a second. I think they do a knuck as well. Ahh that sound and no kick( I’m old and can’t kick like I used to). From what I hear runs nice and smooth as well👍

We have very different ideas of what is "all original" - so apart from the seat, levers, blue dots, oil cooler, cruiser pegs, extra lights, ignition.....still lovely though. Wouldn't call Cycle Guard alarm "foolproof", they mostly shook to bits, got quieter and quieter and could be killed by squirting stuff through the vents - Harley only fitted them for a couple of years I recall. Something doesn't sound quite right with the engine, that whine worries me, maybe it is the recording device creating it but I'd get a proven expert to ride her. As nice as that tank design is I do prefer the 1973 "zebra crossing" design, especially a black tank with the red, white and blue bars.

Stock 5 finger. Mostly okay finding neutral, it's easier to roll into it than find it at a dead stop, definitely does have it's moments.

Nope. 1978 was the first year of the 80, produced simultaneously with the "74ci until 1981.

These are definitely one of the best looking bikes ever made only thing i don't like is being well over 6ft tall myself they seem to be made for guys under 6ft.

I'm over 6 ft and it helps if you install the old style buddy seat. It's quite a bit taller and takes the strain off your legs.

Hi Vincent, I am the world's best detailer, however, I may have to pass my crown to you. Beutiful job with that classic. I have a 98 electra glide I purchased used with 152000 miles. I detailed that for days. I now love these bagger bikes. I cant own one like yours because I don't have the mechanical skills to take care of it, so I enjoy looking at your immaculate bike.🙂
