Hey Everyone,
We are trying something new around here. With Brian's help we are really beginning to crank these videos out so we are going to try to post a video once a week, every Thursday. Today's video we are going over this beautiful 1955 FL Model that our family restored back around 2012. It came in for a light service and we jumped the chance to edit a video for you guys. It was a fun bike project to work on.
Brittney's Indian Forge videos have been released so be sure to check out the first and only new custom bike she's ever built, heck it's the newest bike all of us here have worked on!
Thanks for the comments, likes, shares and new subs! Stay tuned for our next episodes where we go over 1948 Harley's and also a restoration review on a 1937 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead.

Watching your video takes me back to my days of my FL I bought from a city auction back in 1962. My Harley was a retired San Francisco city cop bike, a 1959. My grandpa and I traveled to San Francisco just for the purchase of three bikes. These bikes were well maintained and low miles for the bread. We brought these bikes back home and restored them back to stock. Had to sign a document that directed us to remove all law enforcement equipment off the bikes. Strict folks back then. All the bikes were repainted and cleaned up. My grandpa sold one and he kept one for himself. I got the best of the heard and rode that bike through high school up until I got drafted and ended up in Vietnam. After my educational program via Nam, when I come home I and my grandpa cleaned up my bike and he and I became road Gypsies for a year. For money he and I would pull odd jobs while traveling. That period of time was my best therapy from war crap rolling around in my soul. My grandma was a very wise man. He knew exactly what I needed to clear my soul and head. He served two wars himself. As a kid he got up in the first one as a courier, rode Harleys to the front lines with messages. And also in the 2nd did the same with General Pattons Armored Division. Those two Harleys were the best. Never left us walking. Plus it helped we both knew how to turn a wrench. Your Hollywood green looked the same as mine between those years. Later, about 1974 my Harley got stolen by some clown. The CHP, found my bike in Oakland, California some 400 miles away at some bike shop. Never got it back. Sad to lose my good friend the Harley and my grandpa that same year. Thanks for your time.

Dean, thank you for your comment, story and service. This is the most thoughtful and well spoken comment ive ever had on any of our RU-vid videos . I saw a 59 fl for sale in Missouri online it looked like a great bike. I have a 58 that I hold very close to my heart. If you're ever in South Dakota swing by and you can take it for a spin.

Beautiful bike! You guys always choose great music also. Thanks for sharing

Dude I usually can't stand background music but you hit it right on the head of the nail I like how you roll I'm going to subscribe thanks

@carlscyclesupply Месяц назад

Thankyou. Brittney puts in a lot of time finding old music that fits the time era of the bikes.

Iwish HD could Repo a selection Of the 50s and 60s factory emblems They are so Classic .

@carlscyclesupply Месяц назад

You're in luck. For years harley worked with a company named eagle iron and reproduced all badges and mounts. Try searching eBay or go to your local dealership

Rare color. I saw one in a local shop here in Arkansas. It had the original paint, a wonderful patina. I think 55 is the only year of that color. ♥️♥️🏍️💨🏁

@fuelburnersandheadturners Месяц назад

There is only a few Pans like this around. Nice nice nice

@carlscyclesupply Месяц назад

55 is very hard to find year. I think our country was in a mild recession when these were produced

@danielmorris3687 Месяц назад

What a beauty. It looks in incredible condition for a 12 year old restoration. Hopefully he gets it out and uses it as much as he is able. I'd have a hard time not making it my daily rider. 😄

@carlscyclesupply Месяц назад

Ed asked us to retro fit an electric start and a sidecar so that he can continue to ride it the rest of his days. were pumped

@vk7408 Месяц назад

You guys do top notch work keep them coming. It would also be outstanding to have some how to's mixed in so we can learn from the best and keep these on the road. Thanks

@carlscyclesupply Месяц назад

Thankyou for constructive input. Our main goal is to showcase these old bikes we spend so much time fixing up, but we have done a few tech videos and plan on doing more. Do you have any specific subjects you'd like to learn about?

@vk7408 Месяц назад

@@carlscyclesupply I love the finished bike content too. Knuckles and Pans as it takes a lot to keep them running. The walk thrus are very cool when the bike is all done and you see it all finished and learn about it, plus we see it start run and drive. There are so few experts like you guys in the repairing/restoring business so anything we can learn about how to fix, or what goes wrong frequently, cool hacks you've learned, or things to look out for would all help us gain from your wrenching experience. This could be from engine, to tranny to frame and basically everything you do when you restore. Tips on what to look for at swap meets and how to ID and determine different cases, years, and spotting case damage and what it will take to fix is something I don't see many other You Tubers offering either. Thank you and keep up the great content.

If H.D. still made these they wouldn't be headed into bankruptcy......

@toddricketts9498 Месяц назад

You are 💯 Right 🇺🇲

@martinwall7297 Месяц назад

The year I love. Want to sell it to me. Get me

@carlscyclesupply Месяц назад

ANNOYING WIND NOIZE

@carlscyclesupply Месяц назад

I agree. We shot this video on the same day as the flight red 42 video and had some technical difficulties. Our new video guy Brian figured out how to remedy the situation and the next ones will be better.
