As I explore used bike options in my area, I’m often drawn to add a later shovelhead or another Evo to my stable. So, I decided to research some iconic and highly collectible 1980’s models.
The 1980's brought sweeping changes throughout Harley-Davidson. New technologies were introduced, some were radical, and some slight tweaks based on feedback from Harley's loyal customer base. With Willie G. Davidson at the helm of motorcycle styling during the 1970 and 80's the grandson of the founder attended numerous rallies' and listened to riders in order to gain invaluable feedback leading to legendary model releases during the eighties including the Tour Glide in 1980, the FXRS in 1982, the Evolution motor in 1984 and much more. In this video I look back at five iconic models that impacted the 1980's Harley Davidson culture, so much so that these bikes are regarded today as collector's items and are the blueprint for many of today's popular models such as the Road Glide and Lower Rider S and ST.
