Wrecked this Red Harley 1981 FLT!

In this video, I give an update on the Knucklehead build, check out the new frame! Also I got this 1981 Red FLT off my buddy that got t-boned a few months back. Made him a deal to get it as his insurance didn’t work out. Not too familiar with this dresser but I'm gonna remove this front fairing and learn as I go. A lot of the parts off this bike are for sale, so let me know if you fancy anything you see & I'll part it out for ya.

I had an 80 FLT, as homely as that fairing is it worked well in the cold, late season northern Alberta chill.

[@4mecz]

Glad to see you put the knuckle in a different frame. I love choppers, but its a knuckle, looks way cool in a stock style frame with the solo seat.

[@HobsonsChoiceHarleys]

Thanks brother

[@skyking4501]

Okay, you just popped up on my normal KZbin and this was just really great to watch. Thanks for taking us along and explaining everything as you went. Great stuff!!

[@HobsonsChoiceHarleys]

Thanks !! Appreciate it

[@johnrode7109]

Good video

[@joechavez4494]

Sorry for your friends bike and himself. Was wondering if you still have d passenger floor boards.

[@leroylawson3861]

I have a 97 flsts that I'm thinking about putting a heritage rear fender on and was curious if you think it would look good, enjoying your videos

[@HobsonsChoiceHarleys]

It would look slick !! Dry fit it on there and see what it looks like !!👊

[@randyford5888]

was wondering if you had a oil cooler set up for a 08 softail ,

[@HobsonsChoiceHarleys]

Got a couple shovelhead style Lockhart oil coolers

[@johnkelly6942]

We should probably concede Mama was right on the frame. Are those 5 gallon tanks on the knuckle chassis? Couldn’t tell. Personally I think the 3-1/2’s look way better (more like stock).

[@HobsonsChoiceHarleys]

The tanks are 3,1/2 ! Got to have it close to correct as possible !!👊

[@jamescole7793]

I need a low mileage Speedo for my 91 Electra glide
