I owned this exact model in the latter 1970's. Could never get it licensed as the exhaust (the original stock baffler) was too loud. Got chased by the police many, many times in my late teens on it, but they never could catch me!
Where do you find all of these beautiful specimens of shovelheads?. I ride a '23 Low Rider S 117 and have a '79 FXEF. Both are cool. The M8 with a cam sounds almost as good at idle as a shovel. IMO.
Retro Harley-Davidson bikes look mo' promising than a Roman chariot. If anything I'd much rather be rydin' dirty on a dope beast like that than on a waterwagon on wheels or somethin'.
Beautiful Bike! I just posted a RU-vid video of my HARLEY Lowrider ST after some mods on my channel. If you get a chance check it out and let me know what you think..more videos on the way!
