THE LAST MINT SHOVELHEAD; 1984 HARLEY DAVIDSON FLHS 1 OF 250 MADE "KING OF THE ROAD 

I had an 82 flhs the best bike I ever owned. Some young punk pulled in front of me and totaled the bike that was in 1996. Sure miss that bike. Broke my back and both ankels. Still riding HDs

I have always loved this model.Its a beauty.

I’ve got the 82 flhs. My best friend bought it brand new when I was 16. It was the first street bike that I ever rode. He’s in bad health now and sold it to me because he didn’t want a stranger buying it. The bike meant so much to him. He always said it was the best riding Harley out of all the one he had and I don’t disagree one bit!!!

My dad has one of the red ones, he bought it new in 85 in Amarillo Texas at trips Harley Davidson. It’s been customized a bit but he still has all the original parts.

My late brother owned an 83 Shovel in the early 90s, a lovely machine. Yours is beautiful.

I had an 83 FLHS shovel. Best bike I've ever ridden. Wish I still had her.

Gorgeous bike. Nothing else sounds like a shovelhead...

I have a friend in New Zealand who brought an imported from the US by universal motor Cycles in the mid 90s an ex police bike 85 shovel exactly the same as this one belt drive 5 speed still had all the flashing lights back box etc. He pulled it to bits and it's still like that spent huge money on it paint new everything just never got around to putting in back together and wont sell it lol.

Thank you for this video.

Just FYI: There were actually 500 of this model of bike produced 250 black and 250 red.

Gotta love an 84 shovel with those 1949 front end vibes in 2023! Timeless

I see unrestored unmodified stock shovels and pans for sale from time to time around fb marketplace in Wisconsin…more often than you would think. I think something about Wisconsin culture and HD and respecting/preserving the factory build. They’re still out there, and older owners are aging.

That entrance warranted playing George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone”, or even the intro to “I Drink Alone” in the background!

Just FYI: 1985 Shovelhead production was limited to fulfilling government contracts and were not made available for retail sale.

I had an ‘83.Loved the motorcycle.

dream bike with an iconic sound

Nice... that ham can got better airflow through the carb than most aftermarket engine reveal filters. So no velocity stack with a screen bug catcher, S&S Super, or fender chop with lowering nonsense. And she even sounds perfect so no fishtails, or 2 into 1 hookers, or shotgun straight pipes ... keep this one stock man.

Looks and sounds great. Too bad I already bought a 2003 harley-Davidson vrod from you which I have been enjoying very much! Thanks guys!

Looks amazing bike. You got to be happy with this. One thing though, there is some reference, to a St Louis Panhandling shovel footpeg clamp, being used on Harley's from around this period. Whether this component was a buckshee item, that was modified as a footrest or peg, I don't know. It could have something to do with the name, Shovelhead. Nice work.

Nice looking bike guys..Very Iconic bike for sure.

Although, I've never known alot about Harley's, I know that type is rare from what you said. Lol...No doubt that's a gorgeous bike, with a very nice exhaust note.

Wow. Looks and sounds great 👍 You guys are so lucky you don’t have to wear helmets. Wish it was the same here in Canada 😑 It should be MY choice whether I do or don’t.

Looks, sounds, shakes and clunks into 1st gear like a Harley Davidson.

What a f’n beauty!

What a beaty! (the bike of course)

I just bought an all original 1984 FLHS. Made June 1984. Only 5500 original miles. I am the 2nd owner. It's been in a barn since 1985. Original seat, etc. After watching this video, I'm wondering if I have something special.

Daauum!, what is not to love about that one. Surprised you are not keeping that for yourself, Kap
