That is the exact paint and color my 97 wide glide is. Just bought mine 2 years ago with 57k miles. Drove from Michigan to Big Bend Wisconsin to pick her up. My Cobra exhaust pipes broke so I put some drag pipes on the other day. That really makes the engine sound excellent. Great video sir. 👍
@@stacysdad5071 sold mine too same year with 27k miles with over 15,000 in upgrades, do I miss her? Yes, but we move on in life. Plus it's kinda dangerous here in Miami and it was a money pit.
1. What inch rise are the Tbars. 2....if you ever trade this bike in, take the right rear axle nut cover off before you do. Ill buy it. I have 97 too and I am missing that part cant find a replacement anywhere lol
@@jkphoto58 fair enough, thank you.. but today a stock 883 can be blown up real easy real quick requiring expensive repairs and upgrades, almost like it was designed that way. I guess I’m asking if the older engines were more durable because many even rebuilt ones are still “stock” with 100s of thousands of miles on some.. I don’t see many sportsers newer than 2000s with over 50,000 miles that don’t require an overhaul… were the old ones the same, was it what ever forced the use of lighter oil that reduced longevity in the newer motors?
@@bmint years ago I had a 4 speed 883 sporty upgraded to 1200 wiseco pistons. When I picked it up for the 20 mile ride home it truly shook me the diff in power from 883.shows how long ago.it was as the bill was about £500 all in.
Could never figure out why people are so obsessed with the temp. of a HD electric start engine before startup! Maybe with a older kick start bike but not a Evo!! Almost like the salvage bike dismantlers demonstrating the turn signals work on a salvage bike. Something to do I guess!
Idk if it translates. But I have an 84 honda shadow 700 that I'm restoring and it's hell to try and start it cold with an electric start. And it had less than 6k original miles on it. Already cleaned out the tanks of bad gas, cleaned the carbs well, and if it wasn't for the tires I'd be riding it right now.
The reason for a cold startup is to show how the engine operates when it's cold compared to already having been run and reaching running temperature. especially with carbureted engines they need to be warmed up before use.
Beautiful nothing like the old Harley's the best!
The kickstart ones are the most practical ones in my opinion

Don't sell her Bud. Sold my DWG a year ago. Miss her like crazy.

You ride bikes don't drive bikes. 🫡
Always loved the sound of a Harley with the 40” drag pipes… hard to top that sound
Couldn't agree more!
nice bike. I just bought an 02 FXDWG CVO in blue and I fricking LOVE it
Nice!!
The great sound of evolution👍
Indeed it is!
Beautiful bike and sound brother!
Good Old Evo... I have a 1993 Electra Glide Sport FLHS for 30 years now. No problems after 40.000 mls.
Can’t beat them 👍🏻💀
Absolutely beautiful beast new subscriber 👌💯😎
thank you very much I appreciate it
Truly beautiful sound!
Beautiful bike!
I'm saving for one and it must be Evolution. 🙂
I had a ‘97 FXDWG in violet pearl.
I just sold mine after having it 18 years.
Bought a immaculate flstf
Shame as I can't warrant having both bikes.
My dream ❤️
Great machine.
thank you
The 97 fxdwg....0 to 60 ? Yes...
Dude. Let it run longer.
He ain't true
Great looking bike. Can you tell me where you got the saddlebags? I'm having trouble finding nice saddlebags that fit my 1995 FXDWG. Thanks very much.
Thanks. I bought those at Wilson's Leathers at the Opryland Mall I don't know if Wilson's still exist. They were a chain store.
LINDA LINDA LINDA
Great pipes! What brand are those?
I think those were Vance and Hines bologna cuts I can't remember for sure
Mikuni 42
U R welcome
what soft bags are those??? they look great!
I got those from Wilson Leathers
Jim what bars are those? I want some for my 98 wide glide!
Those bars are from harley, I have a set on my 01, can't remember what they called them. Got mine in 05 maybe?
those are Drag Specialties Bars
@@jkphoto58 8 in rise pullback drag bar?
8 or 8.5 can't remember for sure
Where you get the Fork Bag? thanks
Open road leathers here in jacksonville florida
Just out of curiosity: why taking time to check the air temp?
to show that it's truly a cold start.
@@jkphoto58 is that impressive then? My 1999 evo starts from cold every day for work

those are burleigh bars dude , get onto it ,
Those are drag specialty bars I can't remember the rise around 8.5in I believe
@@jkphoto58 they look great
Were old kick start Harleys faster stock?
No they had smaller cubic inch engines

Nice bike.....but cold doesn;t matter so much when you have an electric leg......unless of course it back fires and you sprain your thumb?
Зачем температуру мерял?
Затрясло-то бляцъ всего.
They smooth out when running .they have a rubber mounted engine.( DYNA RANGE )
