I'll always have a love for the old FLH Harley-Davidsons. These bikes are timeless and just drip with class! Truly an American icon and this bike looks like it was kept in somebody's living room. Gorgeous machine indeed.

Man, that's the most beautiful bike I've ever seen in my life.

I had a '67 and the memories just came flooding back. I sure do wish I hadn't sold that beautiful motorcycle. I still remember the VIN FLH 13069

WOW....from a distance it looks like a current roadking again brother this bike is a rare gem big thnx for sharing this vid.....wow...u the man baby....u may have to get more space for bikes...of all the bikes u have acquired how many have u kept up til now..lol....me...i dont know if i could part with some that why i don't collect...lol...my attachment to them....my wife would kill me for sure...lol...u have a great wife who supports your harley sickness and i'm lovin it...

I have to agree that is one of the cleanest FLH shovels I have ever seen

This is truly a once in a lifetime real motorcycle. The last time I saw one of these is when I was 15 years old and I had my very first bike. An older guy in his late twenties that was a family friend had just bought one just like this and he offered me to ride it. I couldn't believe that he had offered me to ride his brand new Harley but he did. I was so scared of fucking it up that I had to tell him that I really, really, appreciated his confidence in me but I was too scared to ride it. I would take a raincheck on it until I was a little bit older. I never did get to ride it but I did ride on it behind him for a little trip and it was awesome. I wish I had one like it today, it would be just crazy awesome. Like your videos and love all of the bikes. Maybe one day I'll get to buy something from you. Still riding today-keep it between the ditches.

AMAZING old shovel. A once in a life find. She is a beauty!

That hog is BADASS !! What a time capsule of perfection. Thanks for sharing.

I know this video is a few years old now, but every motorcycle enthusiast should see this beautiful FLH, this bike is amazing! Whoever took care of this bike, I'd be honored to shake their hand. I think even Willie G himself would want to ride this old gal! Incredible bike and built in the year I was born!

Love the FLH... I’ve owned four and currently ride a FLHTK Thank you for the awesome videos and even more important the history lessons!

Amazing bike. I am getting all excited just watching you get excited about it. Thanks for sharing!

What a great bike ..... I continue to enjoy your latest finds

Todd Love your videos, I enjoy and respect the way you love this bikes I love my 1977 shovelhead too!!

That's a real beauty you found there, incredible shape, I'm green with envy.

Great memories, my dad had one from 69 till death I sold it 12 years later. A friend in Florida restored it . Color is orange & black beauty. Sure miss it. Thanks for video!

My 68 shovel has 200k miles 90 percent stock and getting it's final total rebuild it's had 2 others love that bike this bike was well taken care of and road enough to be this nice. thanks for showing it .

Unbelievable that the relay is still factory , every shovel I've ever owned I've had to replace that part at some point , its almost as nice as my 70 ;) As usual you always find the best scooters .

Todd you're the best! Keep on keepin on bruthah! You are my Idol! May the wind always be a part of who you are!!!!

thanks. I have become addicted to watching your videos. if I came to your shop I could spend days just looking at all the bikes. and asking numerous questions. I love Harley's my father had a 1964 scat. and my grandfather had a 1949 175cc. me. im 37 and getting ready to take the one week course offered by Harley Davidson. I would like to just own a 1200 sportster. nothing big. but I think you should start a tv show on fixing up old Harleys . anyways thank you so much. for doing what you do.

omg..lol...u lucky sob like u said that is a wet dream right there.......wow midas how u find these vintage scoots........that is really a gem...all i would do if it were mine...would take stock metal off chrome it and put it back on....nothing after market would go on there...unless it really needed to......i was writing this as the vid showed u starting it up thats a dream find.....flh to me has always been the best looking harleys...thats why i will keep my 87 flhs only change S&S cases

Just shocking. Jaw Dropping. Amazing. Thanks so much for sharing this..

I want one that era real bad. My 01 EG just doesn't cut it. Old school is the only way to go with what I grew up with. Hopefully I can trade mine away or sell it and get one like this before I get too old. Sweet machine indeed...

Watching this in 2020 and it is even more beautiful 👍🏻🇦🇺

Boy, you weren't kidding! Thanks for the link. That bike, like this one, is like a time capsule. Legendary!!

That is just what I was looking for back in the late 80's but ended up with a 72 FLH police special. It was an old Tampa PD bike and I rebuilt it to factory origins as best and I could and still have it. It is a great bike that runs great I can't say the same for these two twin cams I have. I am selling this and finding a Evo. That is a beautiful bike thanks for posting it.

thanks todd and thanks for the advice. I hope I can get advice from you when I decide to get a bike.

good video, awesome bike and very clean!! deffintley a keeper

That's a sweet machine. Sounds just awesome. I'd never get rid of that one.

what is it about these bikes that move us so intensely and completely. My earliest memory - no my earliest memory laced with harley obsession - was maybe 1974 or thereabouts out on Long Island visiting my grandparents for the summer and i was with my grandfather in his big white 69 Lincoln in downtown Huntington parked and he was talking to this cat who was sitting on what i guess to be a rigid panhead fully dressed. not crazy dressed but windshield buddyseat, stainless trim etc. But i remember how smart the rear fender looked not hidden or encumbered by swingarm parts. just that gorgeous hump which for some reason was one of my fav parts of a full dressed scooter. i was prob about 6-7 years old and that bike cinched it for me. And really its only Harley Davidsons that i flip over. I can appreciate Indians and all the other manufacturers but for me Harley Davidson is the end all. This 69 is surely bad to the bone and like you i get off on original paint unmolested complete bikes - live for them in fact. Your a coolcat Todd.

I agree...Wow what a machine!! I love the scheme of black and chrome and that bike has the best sounding idle . Beautiful bike man . I hope to run across something like that one day. I got a 73 FLH but would like to have an older generator shovel. Love those early ones. Your a lucky cat to be able to buy all of the bikes you get. I'd do that for the rest of my life if I was able. Buying and selling and getting or keeping the couple I like best. Only a few I don't need a bunch of them. One of each model would be sweet but I know how it is collecting and being bit by the bug it's an addiction that's hard to control. Fun though and exciting. The hunt is the best part for me I must say. Finding a real nice example or an oddball is a thrill. Anyway thanks for all your posts and sharing your bikes I enjoy looking at them all. ✌️

I was 2 when that bike was built & wow i really let myself go! Beautiful scooter!

Sounded like a drive-by shooting there at the end. Glad you're alright! Many years ago I ran across a 1951 Hydro-Glide. An older man had it and I think he bought it new. Was asking 1600 bucks, if memory serves me. Didn't have the dough. Probably would have killed me anyway...

Sweet............ I'm parcial to the genny shovels. For the longest time the generator shovels flew under the radar, lately they're coming into the forefront. Two yrs ago I found a 1967 FLH barn find, sitting for 23 yrs. Bought it, after 2 days I revived her out of her coma.

Absolutely GORGEOUS!

Simply amazing!!!!

Incredible original bike

Damn...that bike must of been stored inside someone's living room to be that clean! What a beauty')

sweet bike really nice great find.

Man what a beautiful ride

One Nice clean Bike Absolute beautiful condition

wow..beautiful bike....What a find!

I only can.hope to know half of what you have forgotten. Great stuff, big fan,the generator cover gave me wood,thanks!great stuff!!!

Now this is my new favorite

2022 nice video and what a cool ride

Got a red & cream one I’m my dad’s garage it was a easy rider center fold too!

After seeing the commitment starting the pan head it was a go . I had to subscribe . I'm a bevel head and look forward to your posts .

Really nice ride !!!

Unbelievable, beautiful Harley.

1978 was the last year for the ratchet lid transmission and last year optional hand shifter. The tank shift style was no longer offered after 1964, but HD made an optional hand shifter with a gate mounted off the left side of the frame in the same position a mouse trap would mount

Wow!!!!!!. THAT BIKE IS THE SWEETEST THING NEXT TO A HERSHEY CANDY BAR WITH ALMONDS.WOW.I YEAR BEFORE I WAS BORN.1973.

Beautiful bike you found there. I am wondering about the dash being original , not the speed o but the dash itself. strikes me as a newer style. Anyhow thanks for putting this out there for everyone to see and appreciate.

Stored in an Egyptian tomb. Unreal preservation

my dad rode one of these while a motorcycle cop for the San Antonio Police.

Awsome ride

All around beautiful

That bike is worth gold.so clean.

I’ve noticed that bikes in this condition usually have bumps and dings down low, from being tagged by the lawnmower in the garage.

true, HD did not make a 69 FX, but the popularity of young men putting a Sportster fork on their FLH got the eye of Willie G and by 1971, HD came out with the FX model, with, guess what, a Sportster fork

Damn another beauty!

How do people keep anything that clean? It got rode like a hundred miles per year. You better by it because there may never be another that clean. Beautiful Bike !

NICE BIKE!, what did you (he) say about the correct Harley logo on the speedometer? What years had the logo and what years didn't? Thanks Roy

Watching all these videos is a very enjoyable way to learn about Harley Big Twins, and I do have a lot to learn. I notice the electric start models don't have the oil filter in the location where the kicker-only models have. I expect that is because of the bigger battery (I have never seen a Shovelhead or Panhead up close ). Did they move the oil filter or get rid of it when the electric start was introduced? Was the Oil Filter an Option only? Thats my burning question for this week.

i had a 69 i found in the 80's paid 2200 for it then.... they were pretty indestructable. this one is so perfect.

I was 7 when this was built!

Gorgeous

Where did they store that thing,in the high desert packed in cosmoline? Jeez, my twin cam has more dings and rust on it than that. Amazing that that Tillotson runs so well.

stunning

A nice old scoot like that isn't complete without a kicker.

Todd. When did Harley-Davidson stop offering hand shifting and went to permanent foot shifting?

so beautifuulll !!!! dream machine !!!!

Wow is right!! What a time capsule!!

Nice ride

glad you enjoyed the vid!

Mr. Hunting harley... question..where do I find a seat just like that one for my 1977 elctraglide? I want a seat just like that one you haveon that HD 1969...

Harley still makes them. You can also buy reproductions from V Twin or a good used one at the AMCA Meets. Google Antique Motorcycle Club of America

Is this still for sale , and have you ever known anyone to succsesfully install a pre evo seat to an early flst heritage frame ? ive noticed the post holes are diffrent.

That IS sweet!

Beauty.

oh my god,exactelly my dream

My 1971 will be very close to this bike, but high polished, I am only using original parts from that time of what were wrong or missing.

Looks like it was garaged and covered?

I understand completely :)

magnifique.............

It just missed the cut off of being a AMF bike 69-81 AMF years when was the first AMF bike 1970 Todd? Thank you 🙏

Hi Todd. Did you get enough scratch for it in 2012 & how much would it command now?

very nice didn't the 1969s come with a fairing?

I love it .

or for sale period ?

thanks!

This paint scheme is for Funeral procession and shriner bikes only. Regular street models had a different paint job

almost like someone waltz back in time and brought it back new lol

I usually have around 40-60 at a time

Still is, bro! Still is......

Nice.

i think the cap on the right is right handerd tread?

SWEET !

that’s a beaut!!! what is that like 108 miles a year😱

That sure is a beauty, Todd. Were the "shovelheads" really that much less reliable than an Evolution engine?

Nice

hope all is well
