Wildfire | 1965 Harley-Davidson Survivor Chopper First Start in 20 Years

We recently got this 1965 Harley-Davidson survivor chopper, originally built by "Gino" from the Philadelphia, PA area.
We're told the last time this bike ran was around 2002, so we decided to get 'er running during a recent shop night. Watch as we comb through the pan/shovel chopper, troubleshoot issues and discover cool aspects of the bike all in the midst of general shop shenanigans.

I started Wildfire in 2002 after it sat for 10 years before that. Almost kicked myself into a heart attack! Gino built that back when he was in high school. He road it to school everyday. It's a nod to the "Billy bike" . All hand molded with some beautiful flake. I turned a wrench for him back then. Just about every guy who worked on bikes worked there at one time or another. Wear a kidney belt, she's a hard ride but worth every minute when you're profiling. That bike would make Putin cool, she's that badass! Gino's still getting neighborhood kids that hang out at his shop interested in scooters and teaching them how to make things go! Great dude, I've called him friend for a very long time. Do her justice. It's yours now, do what you do and I'm sure it will be cool. 👍

The worst thing about your channel is that down here in Australia getting hold of vintage Harleys is near on impossible... love ya work but our barns are all empty.👍

[@patmacinnis]

East coast of Canada, same thing. Unless you wanna pay 10-15k

[@k.c.c.s.2580]

You may already know but some white vinegar and a bunch of bb’s will clean that tank up good as new

[@PrismSupply]

We used white vinegar and bolts, but bb's are a great idea!

A jar with a tool causes a smile)

[@kellyballard1773]

Hey from a local Lucia guy. I like where you guys are going with these old choppers. I have my old 51 El that hasn't been started in 20 plus years. If you want to do a video on getting it running, we can talk.

[@PrismSupply]

Sounds like a fun project! Email [e-mail] with some pics and more info and we'll get back to you.

[@TailEndCustoms]

[@wolfeyes9357]

POC.....I Love it!!!!

[@OffTheLens]

CONTENT BABY~ good viddy bois!

[@patmacinnis]

Working on old bikes, a good idea to have in the toolbox is to have a water bottle with a 1/4" valve in the line. Always at the ready.

[@thatsmrharley2u2]

Runnin' on the rear cylinder only during the entire video

[@superplumber5]

Gino is still in Philly off of Lehigh and Aramingo

[@russellwood5867]

thats not a 65, unless somebody put a shovel head topend on a pan bottom. those mags could be a pain in the ass at times and early S&S carbs when cold sucked.

[@mohawkdriver4155]

You guys looked like a bunch of doctors with a patient in the OR. The bottle looked like an IV...

[@ifrit35]

I just found a new channel !

[@mikenagurne323]

wanted to look at my 400 7o's chopper mags and 'find' them special scoots

[@bernardspillane5948]

[@PrismSupply]

Sorry, we don't.

[@CharlieRoamin]

Why are you calling this a '65 ? First year Pan-Shovel was officially '66 .

[@aaronchandler8141]

Marbles and kerosene is on old school way to clean rusty tanks

[@ilovecarnitas]
