I bought a 30 year old Harley Davidson | Was it a mistake?

I've been on the hunt for an Evo or Shovel for a few months. Well, we found one! I love these Harley Davidsons and I'm looking forward to learning more about the Evo platform. Everyone seems to love it. Never mind the oil on the exhaust in the photo! I had just checked it and forgot to wipe it off.

I got the bike vacl running and it wasnt bankrupting me to do it. Thanks for love and help Unk.

[@silversurfer3202]

😁 I just bought a 100% Stock 1990 883 (4 speed) Evo with 30k miles on it.... Runs like a top, I Love it, No regrets 👍.

[@mikef3300]

I still have my 1995 Springer Softail. It is my first and only Harley and it still runs great. It’s been very reliable with just regular maintenance. The best upgrade I’ve done is changed to a 6 speed transmission. Much lower rpm at speed on hwy.

[@UncleBogator]

Yeah I definitely miss my 6 gears when I’m on it

[@joekool4]

I rode my 87 evo home 110 miles. They just run well. Throw a couple gaskets at it too keep oil off the ground, and they're good.

[@UncleBogator]

Amen

[@Levish01]

I would put it back to belt drive with some used OEM bits personally

[@UncleBogator]

I’ve been considering it honestly. It only has a cam. No need for a chain

[@rob3568]

The back wheel being off to the side also is an indicator of the motor mounts being worn, which is also a contributor to the wobble.

[@UncleBogator]

In this case the motor mounts are new. The wobble was definitely do to improper torque. I have a whole other video coming soon of the fixes we’ve made so far. The axle nut wasn’t torqued at all. Just barely tight.

[@douglasradowick508]

Love that tennis ball/ glow in the dark "florescent green"! That the color I want to paint MY 883/street 500 & 750! The color is UNFORGETABLE!! Thanks for not changing that color until I saw it 👍🏍️😎🤓🤭 Doug!

[@UncleBogator]

yeah I'm a big fan too

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

Love the color on that bike. Also hope the pressure wash situation is sorted and lasts you long and well!

[@UncleBogator]

thanks bud! These pumps do wear down after a few months from chlorine going through them. Unfortunate!

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

Oh that's a bit inconvenient. but could be worse I guess.

[@tewgomoo]

That paint is awesome! Need to keep that color!

[@UncleBogator]

Amen to that! It's a very divided opinion on it but I love it

[@juanhuttoe4517]

I love the bike, the paint isn't bad. Not really digging the brown seat. I think black would match better.

[@whuddle]

I got tired of my mixing valve contraption. For roofs i just batch mix. Simpler and more reliable for me. I'll x-jet driveways/patios.

[@UncleBogator]

I think I'd be ok batch mixing if I had more room for a dedicated batch mix container. My last few jobs I've needed both the pressure and softwash systems. If I had batch mixed, I wouldn't have had an effective downstream mix. But yeah, it's kind of a pain constantly troubleshooting.

[@whuddle]

@@UncleBogator @UncleBogator Get rid of that ibc tote? I run around with two 35 gallon drums. One full of straight bleach and one for batch mixing. I run my power washer off customer's house. Either way you do it, makes money my dude!

[@loricksix]

I like that your helmet matches so well. Great content also.

[@UncleBogator]

cheers

[@tommyjusz]

I've never had to order a drain plug before, but I'm surprised the dealer doesn't have it in stock. Then again the bike is pushing 25

[@UncleBogator]

Thing is already 28!

[@kramer8865]

That color may not be for everyone but at least they will always see you coming 😅

[@UncleBogator]

got that right!

[@tld522]

Unc!!!! You a dyna bro for real now!!!!! Good looking bike!!!!!

[@UncleBogator]

I dig the bike man! But I will still make fun of the dyna bro stuff!

[@caseyrobinson5574]

Great video sir

[@UncleBogator]

Cheers my man

[@josephfriedrich9792]

The only mistake/my new worry is the new old bikes... is the stunt scene that these things went thru recently. Also! Dont skip over the 3 hole change... youll be surprised the lack of yt videos showing how to do so on the non soft tail big twin

[@UncleBogator]

this guy definitely didn't stunt this one. There's not a mark on it. He had a 16 dyna that was his main bike. that one was clearly used

[@josephfriedrich9792]

@UncleBogator good find! And good buy! I was looking at a "non stunted" dyna the other day... I think he ment, he never successfully stunted with it... blown forks and a front engine mount that had seen way way WAY better days!

[@kirk563]

I bet you're neighbors really love the sound of those bikes uncle bo, lol.

[@UncleBogator]

Oh I bet they cringe

[@joshuaboatright6678]

​@@UncleBogatorscre em, I was told today my evo softail is obnoxious and heard me coming g a mile down the road.

[@arthurcutaiar9994]

No oil pan in the evo. Its an oil tank

[@UncleBogator]

Yeah but you knew what I meant

[@arthurcutaiar9994]

Oh ok. You sad you never had an evo. And the early motors, shovel, pan, knuck had oil tanks. Didnt know you knew. Evo aint no powerhouse but there damn fine engines.​@@UncleBogator

[@muneyjodye]

awesome pick up, dope color reminds me of Dodge's Sublime Green for Challengers / Chargers what year is this, can you post the specs in the description at least

[@ericdreibelbis7043]

That’s an oversized oil pan bolt from auto zone or whatever, Made to be a quick fix for buggerd threads

[@UncleBogator]

Definitely wasn't a good seal on it.

[@charlesrocks]

What a slick looking bike. Tennis Ball Green is a great look for this bike. I’m in love with it bro. Wow…what this bike needs is like a 280mm rear tire. Gotta fix that rear tire wobble

[@UncleBogator]

280!? Dang man that’s a monster. The wobble is gone now that I’ve aligned the chain properly and torqued the axle

[@charlesrocks]

@@UncleBogator 280mm. Trust me on this.

[@PinksAdventures]

Cant wait to see more on the new ride!...hope the new business is doing well!...thanks for sharing...stay safe out there!!😎🤙👍🤙👍🇨🇦

[@Malato12]

I shall call the paint Mellow Yellow Lemon/Lime Those extra eagle-horse power parts! NOICE! XD

[@mrhupen]

at 8:30, is that the soundtrack from an old NinTendo game called Gauntlet?

[@UncleBogator]

Absolutely is!

[@wcraiderevo8078]

The paint is high vis. Nothing wrong with that.

[@UncleBogator]

in the sun it's damn near blinding! I love it

[@millertimetravels4030]

That’s a piggy back plug which usually means stripped pan.

[@UncleBogator]

Was definitely stripped

[@ericnonya3650]

Chain convertion and thrown off should never be used in same sentence Cheers!

[@danielbuchanan5327]

Had me laughing when you teased your Wife. New subscriber!

[@UncleBogator]

Cheers my man! Yeah we tease each other all the time.

[@jmontanez713]

That’s highlighter green

[@UncleBogator]

it's bright!

[@DyinG_BreeD_MediA]

Very cool 👍

[@UncleBogator]

cheers

[@GoldWingMafia]

You should donate this bike for the forgotten angles raffle! That would be great. Are you gonna?

[@UncleBogator]

Love them but no I'm not donating bikes

[@dracphelan]

With the bike being the same color as a PT belt, you can count on most people seeing you. If they don't, they had their eyes closed.

[@UncleBogator]

especially in the sun. It's so bright

[@ShutterUp]

cool bike. I'm not crazy about the color but other than that....

[@UncleBogator]

Color is fantastic!

[@ozarkloon4566]

Good lord! Paint it. Paint it NOW! Why would anyone do that to a perfectly good bike. The rest of its kewl, but that paint has to go immediately.

[@UncleBogator]

Damn dude. It’s ok you don’t have to ride it. I love the paint

[@millinutz]

I stopped the video where you said, "this is probably a Super Glide", to let you know what my first thought was..., i'd guess that to be a Low Rider! Now let's resume the video and find out, if you found out what it actually is....?

[@UncleBogator]

I don't remember if I ever said for sure what it was in the video but it is a Super Glide.

[@guyrivera3100]

Color nice safer on night rides easier to be seen

[@craigpennington1251]

That color looks good on a Harley besides the funky junky black crap that they put on.

[@AMERICAFIRST54]

Old stunt bike, had the sht run out of it. The color 🤮

[@UncleBogator]

nah he didn't stunt this one. the guy had a 16 dyna that he rode. you can tell it hasn't been stunted. just dolled up. The color is fantastic!

[@AMERICAFIRST54]

@@UncleBogator 👍

[@bigg2768]

Lol, thought the thumbnail for ur vid was photoshop clickbait with the color. I’ll be damned, it’s actually that color. 🤮 Only matters u like it though. 👍

[@UncleBogator]

It’s out of control and i like it
