I had the opportunity to ride an XLCR for 100 miles in West Virginia back roads. It was the only Harley that I've ever straddled. I'm a BMW - Ducati guy. I was more impressed than I expected. Shifted like a tractor. Kerclunck, kerclunk. One of the best looking bikes ever made. Vroom, Vroom. God Bless Y'all.
The 900 Sportster was a nice ride. Plus it's pretty quick out of the gate.
I had a 1976 Ironhead.. 1000cc with big bore kit..Awesome bike
Gorgeous piece of history👍
Looks badass i think im in love lol
God bless America 🇺🇸
I almost starting crying.
I miss my 1971 900.
If I was rich, I would be there tomorrow.
Love you guys. Spanky Tx.
That Harley is beautiful love those antique bikes!!! High class right there💯
Yet another well preserved work of motorcycle art from Milwaukee. Absolutely beautiful.
Sharp looking Harley. Looks brand new. Love the way the exhaust note sounds. A head turner!
I had the pleasure of owning one back in the mid 70's.
I’ve never honestly been a Harley Davidson fan, I am a British bike guy through and through, but this specific Harley really speaks to me.
Ken Kaplan sr!! That bike is real clean...man I gotta come work for you!! Rock on Ken sr🇺🇸✌️😎
After I quit riding Dirt bikes with my buddies (bad crash) I bought my brother's 69 Ironhead Sportster leaked fluids like crazy, Dad made me park it in the street it leak so bad, lol! I was 16 and been riding Harley's ever since! 😎
if the original owner is looking down he would be proud of the job you have done. Love my Sporty and ride it through the Welsh Valleys in the U.K.
One of the nicest features of the pre-disc brake Sportsters is the internal throttle. They are not complicated, they are easy to set up correctly, they are very smooth and there is no cleaner look. Your shop does really fine work but get up to speed on the internal throttle. It is a big plus to the vintage crowd.
I've always been of the opinion that this Era of Iron heads has the sexiest oil bag ever put on a H.D.🏆
What a great looking bike. I was watching a RUclips video about the 10 or something best ever bikes in the channels opinion. 2 or 3 were Enduro type bikes. And on the first ones video clip of the person ripping up a trail on it I thought "hey that looks like Ken Kaplan. Then on another I saw him on a different bike video clip in that video. I thought it was pretty cool he was shown in several vid clips in the video presented by whatever bike channel it was.🎉
Sounds n looks sweet 👍😎👍
😮 You got to be lucky to own something like that..🇺🇲
The seat is a nice look!
Ruby is my 70 XLH 👍
Awesome bike.
What a beautiful machine 😍
I am beginning to really love these iron head Sportsters. This one is stunning.
I used to run Continentals on my 70s bikes
My favorite tank badge that Harley Davidson has right there 👌
Had a 71 XLCH... 900 , I believe they had a mid year change to the engine upped to 1000cc ? You guys get the most beautiful bikes... great example of older Iron ! Keep it up ! God bless you....
They changed to 1000cc in 1972. The motor was modified mid year in 1973 model year, adding an additional headbolt, improving the sealing of the head gaskets.
The frame in 1973 was factory recalled to have dealers weld braces behind the battery and oil tank. I owned a black 1973 XLCH. I stupidly sold it to buy an FLH
@@mainebigfoothunter7088 👍👍
Love it.
Clean 71!
I'm sure it will be hard for Ken to see this one leave the shop.😢
A very fine machine gentlemen.......also the 71 in my opinion was the best Ironhead ever made....and yes,,,i am biased because i had one as my first HD many years ago...rode it trouble free for five years...i know,i know....i was lucky....the experience made me an Ironhead lover forever....thanks for the upload......
This model is clean and looks right. A keeper in my book.
I hope the pan head is the next video my phone screwed up and I didn't get to see if it fired up. That's a beautiful sporty. For sure
Stunning Sir. Dime piece
Beautiful bike.Nice work.👍👍 10:53
Very nice job beautiful bike.
Wow...what a beauty!
Beautiful!
Un pote en avait une ,rouge, dans les années 80-90. Je ne roulais qu'en tout-terrain (2 temps) . En France.
Mon dieu , que cette moto était belle et excitante !
J'étais amoureux de la moto de mon pote !
A friend had a red one in the 80s and 90s. I only drove off-road (2-stroke). In France.
My god, how beautiful and exciting this bike was!
I was in love with my friend's bike!
Amazing
Swap the S&S air cleaner for an oval Bendix air cleaner. Very nice old Ironhead….
Kap I have a Suzuki mini truck similar to the one you guys just got from Japan. It's in excellent shape but needs a little TLC motor wise. Would you be interested?
Yes of course! Text me pics & info 860 916 9784 -Sr
There is a sweet, un pretentious, super cool sportster. Your videos are preventing my winter cabin fever up north here in New Brunswick, Canada. I had my own motorcycle shop retailing for over 10 years up here and I admire and understand what you do. You raise the bar as high as it can go ,and are a true cycling icon! I'm coming down this year to check everything out.(Holy shit that sportys points cover was cheesy though lol)
Thank you brother you know the deal looking forward to meeting you
I like it
Man you get some sweet bikes in. Love em. Thanks for the content 👍 and you certainly took it to the next level 😀 love the seat. I had a 74 I just sold and I’ll tell you rims are a b--h to clean properly. Takes forever. The only thing I wish is it had an electric start. I’m not getting any younger 🥲
That’s a beaut!!!
Holy crap what a beaut. That sounds so mean 😈
Mr Duane allman’s bike!!
Night rider....great bike..
🙏
I meant to say,now that's a Harley,freaking awesome sound😊😊😊.
Wolverine!
What size are rear shocks. Building a 71 now
My second Harley was a 1960 900 magneto it was a roller looked like this of course cam cover was old style But it didn't look that good
Keep it between the mustard and mayo and rubber side down later GBU
Oh yeah Dale rebuilt the lower end we were both from IL at that time 1973
God safe America, Russia and Harley-Davidson! Peace for all!
Ancora bellissima, unica!!
Where is the big brother Night Train?
This time he's serious. You are not going to find a nicer one
#Ironmaiden 😍🫦🤤🎨💍
No that's a Harley 😊, sounds freaking awesome 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.
I think fonzi rode a trymph.
FONZY 😂 what was his bike
Probaly the only bike which would replace my Panther single , had a Evo sportser for ten years but found it bland compared to the Panther
