7 years later and still one of my favorite authentic choppers on the tube, right down to the spoon levers. The craftsmanship on the frame and bodywork is a lost art. Looks like a nice collection in the garage too - must be western PA, I have never seen that bike around but I hope it hasn't changed much 👍
Yes. Erie Pa. I’m now in Florida. I sold that bike about 5 years ago to make room for new projects. It was wrecked a short time later. Then sold off. I sometimes think about remaking another sister bike. Follow me on Instagram #doubleknucklechoppers
@@1mstevens Oh, that's a shame. Thanks for responding, I knew you were an alright guy when I saw you straddle the bike to start it lol - what's up with everyone standing on the side to kick them these days ?
Nice to see somebody kick start his bike correctly. No need for all the antics like leaping off the seat or doing a jig next to it, etc, etc..............PS.....SWEET SCOOTER!
Real bikes,, no oversized fat tire on the back, no oversized ghetto wheels. just good choppers. nice. & we always had to kick back in my day, bc only new bikes at a button. & we had old bikes. My last bike that I just sold was 66 shovel kick & elec. that's a good combo. LOL
66 &67 used panhead bottom end,, the 68 had the 1st cone style bottom end the 1st true shovel style. Blew my bottom end & actually replaced it with a 56 pan,, In Ct I had to register it as a 56,/ composite.
Hey that looks like the high riser bicycle I had in the mid 70's .Mind you my three speed shifter was mounted high on the center rail and it had banana seat but I was cool as fuck when I'd roll up to that cornerstone to get my Popsicle
I would never get a old Harley because I'm lazy, I would never use a chopper because it is not my kind of personnal taste.... but dude, your bikes are awesome. Make me think to 70's wild movies. Greeting from FRANCE.
Mark, give me some tips on how to kick start my bike, i have the same thing as the one on the video, i can start the bike no problem, but is there a secret? It hurts my foot(ankle)
I'm a shovelhead guy myself, got a first year shovel '66 in a '57 panhead straight leg frame that came factory without sidecar lugs or a tripletree lock originally built in Feb of 1970 by an associate of mine I've known for 45-47 years...for my $.02 worth I'd do something with that unflattering fuel cell...I get the"style" bit, but consider a few options. I admire the collective sum of your parts.
I'm running a Weber on my knuckle too. It's all about the chopper style. Originally it had a big down draft on it. Bike was sold some time ago then got wrecked
How big of a motor would need that monster carb setup? Always dug the big bulky look but wouldn't want to get poor performance because of overfueling. Are they responsive on the low and mid range or more of a wot drag bike kinda deal?
@@1mstevens sick!!!! Good to hear, thanks for the response btw. I see ebay has china knockoffs for less than 200 bucks of the DCOE40 i'm wondering if I should even bother with that just to get famaliarized then drop the 700ish that a real one goes for. I hear rivera used to make a bolt on manifold but i'm having a tough time finding one -.-
@@1mstevens okay good to know. Honestly the idea to run one only crossed my mind this morning.. so I can't say i've got much time invested in research and actually finding the parrs yet
As nice a chop as u will ever see I have 3 Harley one rigid panhead as nice as anyone of your bikes I'd put it up against all 3 u got but for anybody to have 3 builds with the caliber of yours is out fuckin standing if had pans and every other Harley ever made built a lot but only ever had one as nice as your 3 and never sold it but hats off 2 u
It was built to resemble a chopper that you might have experienced seeing in the 60's, he wanted that old school flamboyant look, I personally love my twin cam 96" but to each his own, also have a 65 Pan if that gives me any more credibility😂
Mark Stevens why else would you have several bikes in a garage? Tuff guy in your wall mart Jean shorts. To impress the neighbors or just lots of young men?
Nice bike, super detail! And now the but, the rake and stretch on it just does not go with the frame very well. But you own it and I dont, so carry on!

@@kurtfoulke5130 it’s easier with bigger displacement motors

I could listen to this on repeat all day
Dude that is an awesome period correct chopper. The molded frame, the seat, the engraving, everything screams old school. Very nice
Fantastic Day ahead on that Beautiful Harley.
Really a great bike super clean great detail ah the good ol days right out of a David Mann painting ride safe
I appreciate a man that's put a lot of effort into his rides
I used to have a Weber on my 1963 XLCH. It never started that fast!! Beautiful chopper and built right!
Love the Webber,moulding,stance.....Hell,all of it!! Nice one......
Great bike! I've always liked mid-late '60s Shovelheads. Ride safe.
I think that's the nicest Shovelhead I've ever seen 🤟🤟🤟🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thx. I should build a sister bike
@@1mstevens Can you list the parts used (frame etc.) and where to get them? Thanks

Wyatt Blackwood thank you

I could live behind that blue curtain
Looks and sounds good! What jets and tubes are you running in the Weber?I'm having a bit of trouble with mine,so I need a good starting point.Thanks.
John Shagawat , just a hater. let see what you built?

Chrome those pipes! (Just my opinion) Beautiful sled, bro!
Someone always has there 2 cents to add. How bout shut up moron
Sweet….👍👍👍
60DCOE great carb
Finally somebody kicks their bike to life.
thanks
Is that a 48 ida on that thing? INSANE!! Choppers for life!!
Dcoe 40
I would love to have that engine, trans & front end.
Potato potato potato 👍
Very Nice Engine !! But My Friend Had a Weber Carb On His Shovel Head and it was good for a lawn more ! Nice Bike it Sucks It Got Wrecked
Auto BikeTruck . engine was built up. ran strong.

That setup will run a stock 74 cu in shovel. And run very well. There is a lot of room for tuning these.

Find a used one. They are around. Those old manifolds are around also.
I’ve got some stuff.

Alabama Saint . thanks. the shovel is off the road due to a wreck by its new owner. she was very cool and had a long history
Starts like a factory bike. Congratulations
It does!
Cool bike man
That's a bitchin awesome putt putt.
Nice bike I would like to put one of my shovelhead motors in a hardtail frame but my back probably couldnt take it.
Definitely need to use Bates style spring seat. See some of mine Instagram #doubleknucklechoppers
🤘
Old skool iron!! The German
Is that a delardo carb ? Spelling ?
Weber. DCOE 40
I have a Shovel, and it's easy to kick compared to my sidevalve M21 600cc BSA.
I Like it ! ...imo the pipes, frame flares..not so much but, a great looking ride!
It was built to resemble a chopper that you might have experienced seeing in the 60's, he wanted that old school flamboyant look, I personally love my twin cam 96" but to each his own, also have a 65 Pan if that gives me any more credibility😂
Deluxe !!!
Las 3 estanchids
Aaahhaaaahhaahahaha,
I almost pissed myself when you said " I'm going to ride down the street"!
Made my day and confirmed my prior comment. Thanx.
Mark Stevens why else would you have several bikes in a garage? Tuff guy in your wall mart Jean shorts. To impress the neighbors or just lots of young men?
Pretty funny for a guy who dry humps his dog on the gas tank.
Very nice. I wish my old Ironhead started that easy that bitch has tried killing me more times then I can count!!
they probably didn't start that easily when they were new...
🔥 C U S T O M 🔥
Nice bike, super detail! And now the but, the rake and stretch on it just does not go with the frame very well. But you own it and I dont, so carry on!
I really like your Sportster Chopper.
I must have missed his sporty
Wanna sell it
I’ll build one for you
Nice bike except for the Pipes.... I'd run Shotguns and a front Disc....
You should have let a girl kick it, a different girl, a hot girl. Since you ain't gonna ride it any way.
What's with the Weird back Fender and the Shit on the back Ridge....Maybe alright back in the 70s...🤔🤔🤔🤔
A cool bike in a garage don't make you a biker, specially not with girls socks and jorts.
Jean-shorts.
Jealous looser
