1980 HD FLT. The GOOD:Sounds awesome great pipes.New battery.New starter.New solenoid.Looks and sounds mean as hell.Runs good once warmed up. Starts right up.(started for me with little effort after sitting for 8 months in my storage.)
The BAD:Brakes are spongy.Clutch needs to be tightened up. Real pain to get into neutral unless not running. One headlight and one tail light out.Not pretty has some patina. Leaks oil from the crankcase vent tube.(it's a shovel) Needs a tune up. I went and dug this guy out of storage, fired it up and rode it home. Ever since it has sat in my driveway. That was about two months ago. I have owned the bike for about a year and a half or so, the majority of that time it has sat in my garage or storage shed, I ride when I can but work keeps me overseas most of the time. The 80 flt had a lot of first, It is the first rubber mount engine/frame and the same basic design was used until 2009. It is also the first 5 speed transmission and used until 2006. It also introduced the enclosed rear chain drive with an oil bath. The 1980 FLT is the father of all current touring models. I loved the look of it and the sound of the motor. I originally wanted to Bob it out but after learning about it I figured it be best just to get an flh and not cut this guy up. Definitely has a pure look to it. Things that happen to you when you ride this STALLION. 1. You get taller. 2. Your appendages get longer.(yes all of them) 3. You get a chiseled jaw line. 4. You get one punch knock out power. 5. You get cool scars that chicks dig. 6. You get a Rap sheet. 7. You grow a ZZ top beard over night. But seriously it's a cool bike and you will feel ten feet tall and bullet proof when riding it. BUT it will need some work. Not for someone who doesn't understand that a 36 year old bike requires a little extra TLC. I ride it but I always give myself plenty of room to stop and I don't take it on the interstate. With a good tune up I'm sure it would be fine in all driving conditions. It pretty much is just doesn't want to stop and doesn't want to go into neutral. The shark nose and hard bags have a bed liner on em, not my doing but it grew on me. Like I said, not a show winner but really you could clean this bike up pretty easily I just prefer the dirty bird kinda look. Thanks for reading my add I hope you find what your looking for. Shoot me any questions you have. Mileage will go up I still ride it. |

Harley-Davisdon Claims US Market Share Lead for Women, Minorities and Young Adults
Mon, 22 Apr 2013For some time now, Harley-Davidson has been trying to fight the stereotyped image of its customer base as being predominantly older, Caucasian males. Harley-Davidson‘s Stereotypical Harley campaign became a big part of the company’s advertising efforts in 2012, featuring real Harley-Davidson owners and showcasing the large diversity of its riders. Fighting against preconceptions can be difficult but Harley-Davidson has some numbers to prove its motorcycles are popular with other demographics including young adults, women and minorities.
