Work Begins on the 1979 Shovelhead FLH!  

Sir --Your as real as it gets.I have my 80 FXSB That has been under blankets for 10 years.I am so glad to see Our Shovels get rebuilt and back on the road. Bless you

Amazing. I have a 83 fxwg wide glide . Bought like a basket bike last winter .... Regards from Norway

I love seeing these shovelheads coming back to life. I have a 78 flh. I'm swapping in an 80 cubic inch 81 flt motor this weekend. I will completely rebuild the original 74 top and bottom end and keep it. Can't wait to see what you do with the 79. I'm a new subscriber as of today.

Good job!.....Thank you

Right on, brother! 👍 That is such a beautiful bike! ❤ Long may she run

It's alive!! An air cleaner may help the Super B run a little better.

Them petcocks I got where I never trusted them and use small stainless Ball vaulves .

I refired one that sat 13 years and then I put 35K miles on it.

When the lever on the petcock is down, that's reserve. Up is on. Also, just behind the right rear floorboard mount- is that a crack in the frame or an optical illusion on the video?.

yeehaw!! back from the dead! great job, pops!

if you watch the vid (at 9:57) you'll see the leak starts at the petcock.
