73 Harley FLH

[@rickywooley1359]

My dad has a 72 numbers matching. Been in my family for over 20 years. We just tore it down for the first time ever. Still has everything original. Points and all. Only has 19000 miles. Gonna freshen her up and try to keep it original. But your bike looks great. I really like that paint job.

[@jerryjohnson4625]

Yeah ! Beauty. The tu-tone is right in there ! And the sound , really nice. I can tell it's loved. Fly-in & ride home , ohh I wish it were so. Thanks for sharing. The teal and cream is beautiful too

[@braysanborn6000]

[@li872sagaming5]

That sound ..👍

[@averyblanton301]

She does clutch throttle smother than most guys. Lol. Steady smooth pull offs every stop, no slip and no over throttle just steady and smooth.

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Amazing machine guys

[@theroadking547]

Nice one 👍

[@teleman5678]

I would never sell it. I sold my 76 like an idiot and regret it!

[@snakebite6511]

I have the same bike, 73 FLH in mint condition, almost sold it then told the guy no, changed my mind, i couldn't do it so kept it.

[@nabilaemilianasetiaji7988]

[@scottortiz8274]

Absolutely gorgeous,, I'm in my 60s, and can't recall ever seeing that color scheme,, it looks like all luxury...I love it..

[@bobbyboombatz1489]

That bike is on hippies chopper channel 🤣

[@MorsDengse]

I have it with Electra Glides as the Kardashians have it with plastic surgery. I need at least one to be truly happy ...

[@johnboy3100]

What brand/model seat do you have on this, looks very comfy.

[@4speedfunk]

I believe it was a Mustang. It came with a p-pad on it but, I cut it off and added a piece of leather to hide the scar. It has forks under the front, and the only way to attach it was with a single bolt on top of the fender. After I cut off the p-pad...the attaching bolt was no longer there, so I used some industrial velcro on the bottom and stuck it to the frame rails. This worked good and made oil changes a breeze.

[@alissarobertson8840]

My twin cams just don't sound so good as my 72 FLH police special does

[@theroadking547]

Did you end up selling it?

[@dennismatzke6435]

Can we still make bids on 73FLH

[@Carlos_NL]

Never sell it, family bike

[@johnnielsen5076]

I ride my twin cams the same way...just bopping around the back roads. I'm lucky if I get over 3000 rpm too! Where I am drivers get up in your teeth now even on back roads...a bad trend.

[@frankgettys327]

I sold my 82 an now wish l had it back....NICE !!!

[@rudeawakening3833]

I’ve had (13 ) since 1979 , myself . My last 5 years was on my “ best effort “ - 1983 FXWG Wide Glide . The last full production year of the shovel . You and I had of course the 80” , in my humble opinion , Harley’s best efforts up until that time . I owned 6 shovels total . 3-74” 3-80” I always felt that the 80” were far easier to start ( especially kick- starting ) and were all around better running and more dependable machines overall … ( I’m in my 60’s as well - lol 😂 )

[@frankgettys327]

@@rudeawakening3833 I can agree with that, only mine was hard too kick start. I put a kick starter on mine. I had a 1978 low ryder before that an that was a 1200.

[@rudeawakening3833]

@@frankgettys327 Very cool ! I also had a 1978 FXE Super Glide . I customized it - and one of the many things that I did was to add a kick - start kit . If you remember ; back then , it usually came “ one way or the other “ . I never really understood that . I have a always had a love/hate relationship with The Motor Company . I believe it would have been to their benefit AND the customer’s , to always have electric start - with a kick - start for a “ backup “ . ( or to impress the fairer sex while at a gathering or a bar ! ) Bla ha ha !

[@frankgettys327]

@@rudeawakening3833 l live in York Pa...were they assemble the Bikes. Had family there for awhile. So l had lots of HD motorcycles. At that time family got 20% of new motorcycles. So last count was 14 new HD motorcycles. On a 2017 Street glide special now.

[@billycummins2622]

what slip on extensions did you have on the exhaust... and was there any baffles or torque cones in the exhaust?

[@4speedfunk]

Nothing special...straight 30" extensions with no baffles. It would occasionally burp between gears, or on decel. I tried to convince the wife to convert to single-side 2 into 1 exhaust with a muffler, (I think it would have ran better). But, she insisted on keeping the crossovers and straight pipes. Crossover was a Paugco and extensions were Chinese no-names.

[@billycummins2622]

Thanks. Your two into one sounded great too... both of the bikes are very nice

[@dimif19]

Как звучит.

[@leewhaley552]

Don't like the solid lifters. I changed mine to hydraulic.

[@danielyoung1992]

AMFs were the best.

[@oceansideenterprises1105]

Beautiful bike,such good shape,sounds awesome, great investment and I bet it's awesome to ride,I have a 2000 heritage but I'm looking for a bike just like this orange beauty

[@tripplesrule]

Old AMF Junker. You did a very good job with the upgrades and the paint though. Very Nice!!

[@rudeawakening3833]

Of my 13 Harleys in a span of 44 years , 7 were AMF . If it wasn’t for “ them “ - there would be NO HD today . It was , in case you didn’t know , the same factory , same assembly line workers , and lower management . But I’m not a troll or being one to get into a debate . I’m just a senior citizen that’s been around and owned a few and from my 1953 Pan , to my 2018 Milwaukee 8 FXLR Low Rider , I just thought I’d share . Peace Out .

[@steveperry1344]

i still got a 1980 amf flh that i bought new and still no problems.

[@daveross5314]

Those straight pipes would sound better with echo cans

[@johnboy3100]

Do you remember the color code or name for the orange paint??

[@4speedfunk]

I don't recall...Its in PPG's color catalog.

[@jmanbedard7799]

Done

[@bigwu100]

Why would you sell it. Keep it in the family.

[@4speedfunk]

I have no family. Wife and I are DINKS (double income no kids). Proceeds were transferred to sailing addiction.

[@martinwall7297]

is it still up 4 sale

[@4speedfunk]

No...been gone for over a year now. I believe its somewhere in the Pittsburgh area.

[@smoydoyz]

How much did it go for ?

[@johnboy3100]

Still want to sell?

[@4speedfunk]

Sold back in January of 2016.

[@dennismatzke6435]

Can we still make bids on 73FLH

[@4speedfunk]

Sorry it was sold many years ago. It’s in the Pittsburg area.
