@@maxgrouwstra754 very nice!

Yes.

It does. I even bought a new speaker for it.

@@kjchicago1 thank you very much. It’s been four years and I’m still having a blast with it.

There was a little intake leak back then, but other than that, it’s in great shape. The sound may just be off from my recording device.

@@mrmichael555 could hear the hestitation when you goosed the throttle..she is clean though!! love my 96

@@USNVA-yn6cpI totally agree. It was a very cold day and it had been sitting for a month. That hesitation goes away once it warms up a little more. That intake leak was bad. Like you, I love the evos!

That’s very touching! I’ve owned this since I was 17; I’m in no hurry to get rid of it. There’s more pictures of it on Instagram @mrmichael555 if you’re interested.

Very good point, that’s a bad habit I have. I put a lot of trust in that green neutral light!

@mrmichael555 A buddy of mine had a beaut springer ,he started it that way in his garage ( door shut ) and the bike shot foreward and fell over .Worse was he had a disc lock on ,which totally messed up the disc. I forgot the repair cost,but it was mind boggling. Lol

@@John-ob7dhthat’s terrible. I’m in the process of changing my habit.

It turned out great!

I pulled that dash out of a wrecked ‘72 in 1986! I’m surprised it hasn’t cracked yet. I installed an aux plug on the preamp side of the radio so I can connect to my phone via Bluetooth for the music.

My brother have a 1976, it in dark barn, and after 10 years no drive in the dark, the dash is cracked in my 1973 the same problem a crack left from the musix box holes in de dash..@@mrmichael555

I was going round and round for a year trying to buy new ones from the headliner people. I installed them shortly after this video.

This was a frame off restoration, with zero miles when I recorded this. The engine was completely rebuilt. It has forged pistons and hydraulic roller cam. The sound you may be hearing was an exhaust leak in the crossover in the intake manifold. Since then, I’ve sorted it out and it’s nice and quiet.

Thank you!

I’ll check that out, thanks!

Thank you for the kind words. The truck you noticed is up to 294,000 miles, and has never missed a beat since I ordered it new in ‘96!

37,000.

The frame was not rusty, but the window leaked. I eventually stripped the entire car and media blasted everything.

Nice bike, what year is your drag star? I looked at the road stars for a long time, but the Fatboy with the evolution engine just appealed to me a little more.

I have a Drag Star Classic too. It's looks similar to Fat Boy, but from Japan :)

@@mrmichael555 2005 😉👍

Thank you!

Believe it or not, it’s no longer than a regular cab long bed pickup truck.

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, this 489 is based on a 454, the original 454 to the car. It’s the traditional 1/4” stroke crank with a 0.030” overbore. I’m happy and fortunate that I was able to restore this car. I’ve owned it since 1987!

@@mrmichael555 I had to let go of mine in 1990, the rust got the best of it here in the northeast. Sure wish I had taken better care of it...

@@donk499 this one wasn’t too bad, but I still had to cut some rust out after all the years in western Pennsylvania.

Thank you. It’s a lot of fun!

It works. Stock am with one speaker. I installed an aux plug and have a Bluetooth connection to my phone.

Thanks. It is stock exhaust, cored with a little baffle in there to get rid of the droning.

Thank you very much!

I don’t know for sure.

That would be neat!

No, we intend to keep this one.

Thank you!

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. The sedans and six windows look good too!

I used 936 bearing bronze, but honestly, any bronze will work. I don’t remember what I said in the video, but I redesigned the hinges for much bigger bearings. The doors shut like a bank vault now.
