I have the very first year of the Road Glide model (1998) and have personally put 143,000 miles on it. I guess you can say that I love it... Willie G really knew what he was doing.
Went from my FXR with a 124 full done to a road glide 2017 , put a bassani on it and some bars it’s soooo much better so comfy and I get like 450 km a tank . Dream machine fuck anything else
On my 18 street glide special I have the Ohlins FKS228 drop in fork cartridges, paired with their HD772 rear shocks, the fronts made a huge difference, totally worth it in my opinion.
Bike looking good and shiny, Andrew certainly don't baby his bike just blasting... Matt your camera setup always make sense,nice video per usual. Love from Africa.
Really nice, the look is great with the gold parts and stainless Bassani. I appreciate the money that already went into it, without even doing engine stuff yet!
Already knew Andrews bike was going to be sick. His Street Glide was a monster! The only thing that throws me off is the gauge relocation. I like it but then it looks weird at the same time. I guess you just have to get used to it. Anyway man..sick bike. When’s the next epic ride vid coming out? The trip to Zion was a classic! Respect fellas.
Thank you for the kind words man! Tbh it was a little weird at first but yeah you get used to it. We don’t have a long trip planned just yet. But there were talks about doing a trip up north to the Redwoods! Thanks for watching man! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Wicked Road Glide Andrew! Well done sir. Great video Matt. Love the channel, keep the custom bikes coming! With the performance bagger craze in full effect do you think the motor company would be smart to introduce an entry level Road Glide, similar to the new Electra Glide Standard? To me it makes a lot of sense to have a bare bones Road Glide for those who want to do a custom build at a lower price point. Keep up the good work dude, also enjoying the podcast!
Love that look!! But is there a T-Bar that will permit and medium height man to see the infotainment screen? Losing sight of that would be the only down side for me.
Nice Andrew ... I have had both a Road Glide and a Street Glide and I am also 5 ft 11 ... on a good day ... (hehe) BUT i liked the Street Glide better mainly for the better wind protection and also the reach to the info center was MUCH easier ... JUST my opinion ... but LUVed both bikes. THANKS for sharing !!
Awesome looking bike. Are those stock handlebars? I have a 2020 LRS and like your set up. I see some guys putting on moto bars but not sure the advantage? any help? Thanks.
I can't get enough of this video! And..I like the Low Rider S and the Slim. Andrew and Matt made the baggers GREAT AGAIN!!! I want to see 4 more years of these cool vids then some lol Love you guys!!!
I was always a FXDL guy for a long time. I used to talk mad $%!t on the touring guys for riding those hogs but now that I have a FLTRXS I don’t think I can go back 😂 Nice Bike Dude. Ride Safe 🤙🏼
When i had that problem. I had the SG with a stage 4 114 with just the street tuner and slip ons. Bike started chugging and coughing up in Yosemite. Threw “front cylinder too lean” codes. Once i came down in elevation it started running better. Soon after got the auto tuned.
Nice bike a really good taste simple and clean 👍🏼. Kraus advertise the wolf plate what is the difference between in it and the t ricks plate you are running? Thanks 🙏
Greetings from new Zealand. nice bike Andrew. I really like the idea of baggers getting hotter. I have an opinion on the touring vents. I think HD should have kept them. A 5 am start from Durango CO to Four corners with motorcross gloves had me fully closed and thawing my hands on the rear head (M8 Ultra), yet fully open the previous day on the 141 -Gateway to Naturita. I dont think it would be such a big deal to keep them.. Keep up the good work. cheers, Greg . Coromandel NZ
Thank you! Really? Thank you for the feedback! I’ll keep that in mind next time I’m on a long distance trip in cooler weather. The Zion trip was in summer so then i couldn’t tell a big difference. But yeah thank you for watching!
I have a 2019 RGS as well, I added the Kahuna heated grips. it might help a little closing the vents but not that much I run with mine open all the time. I just got back from Sturgis hit temps from 37 to 107 and the heated grips worked great on the colder days so glad I installed them.
I bought my RWD front suspension cartridges in Nov 2019 at the initial release. IDK why they’re not on the website. Maybe call or email RWD and ask about availability.
It’s does, but Im rockin the king tour pack, windshield and my bike is chrome. I don’t think I’ve seen a chrome setup yet🤔. Question if you could, t-bars seem like they keep you pretty straight up in the seating position and less pressure on the wrist, true?
It’s a custom made vest handmade in California by Espinozas leather. They are out here in Rosemead CA. The one I’m wearing is a Laidlaws edition. We sell here in our dealership! 🤙🏼
Hey Andrew, beautiful build. I'm not a fan of the black rims, so seeing your gold ones was refreshing. By chance, do you have a link or model # to order?
I have a 20 SGS and happen to buy a vent with a close button for the batwing fairing like a year before i got this bike...I replaced the non closable vent with the closable vent and tried closing it and i for sure felt a diff on the freeway. Much better open for me, but nice to be able to close it IF you want to. Not sure why, of all things to cut back. Harley did that. Seems like the price diff for the closable vs unclosable vent would be virtually insignificant to them, but maybe when you are talking about the numbers they deal with every penny makes a diff
Mean A$$ bike!! Hey Matt - in your opinion, what’s difference in KST 14 Ape hangers on a roadglide or those T bars? I hear TBars allow more control...🤔
Nice ride man, picked up a 20 RG blue & white this year and love it. Will be going with the RS1 shocks as well. Any clearance issues with the shocks, axle and exhaust?
My RWD rear shocks are 13”. The add’l suspension travel vs the stock H-D shocks is a huge improvement. And installation is super easy. No clearance issues on my ‘18 RGS.
Killer bike. 2 questions 1 height of the klockworks? 2 I know he used H-D tuner but with 2 into 1 and S&S air cleaner is it technically a voided warranty now? I have same parts sitting there but was concerned about warranty?
Thank you! I believe it’s the 9 inch if I’m not mistaken. There’s a video on their site showing hight for rider and recommended size screen. Only way those parts will void power train warranty is if they were installed poorly and cause a malfunction to the engine. I highly recommend having your local dealer instal those parts due to the warranty
I have ZERO experience with the S&S or the Zipper, I'm sure they are great. I did a SE stage 3 117 on my 20 SGS and DUDE!! Totally diff bike and ABSOLUTELY worth it IMHO!! Sick!!! Love the Bike!! This one sounds pretty amazing with that exhaust as well
I love how Matt filmed on a livewire so there was no exhaust noise to interfere with The road glides exhaust noise, very smart
I have the very first year of the Road Glide model (1998) and have personally put 143,000 miles on it. I guess you can say that I love it...
Willie G really knew what he was doing.
That bike is exactly why I’m buying a road glide this year. So legit
thank you!!!
Went from my FXR with a 124 full done to a road glide 2017 , put a bassani on it and some bars it’s soooo much better so comfy and I get like 450 km a tank . Dream machine fuck anything else
Nice ride Andrew. That’s what I love about Harleys your options to make it your own are endless. Great job.
Thank you!
On my 18 street glide special I have the Ohlins FKS228 drop in fork cartridges, paired with their HD772 rear shocks, the fronts made a huge difference, totally worth it in my opinion.
Love the gold rims
Thank you!! I appreciate it! 🤙🏼
@@speedpig513 do you know what brand of candy gold was use to pc the wheels....dope RGS 👊🏼
The sound of that exhaust is awesome!!! Love what you've done with the bike.
When I get the money I want Andrew to help design my next ride. Love the style!!!!
Now that's what I like., on nice clean looking bike with a nice roaring bassani pipe!
Nice touch with the ultra limited rear fender. Looks so smooth and pairs perfectly with the bags💯👌🏾
Good looking bike.
Enjoy the insight. Nice to hear your experience thus far. Look forward to the rest.
Hooah
What a great build and ride sounds really great thanks for sharing
That bike is gorgeous. Love the gold! ❤️So glad Andrew got away from that Street Glide that gave him engine problems on his road trip.
Thank you for watching the channel! Yeah i had bad luck with the SG. But this bike is holding up! 💪🏼
Love the bike, Andrew has good taste.
Thank you for the kind words and support! 🤙🏼🙏🏻
I’ve been waiting to see what Andrew did to the Roadglide since the Zion video when he had just bought it. Good stuff!!! Ride safe!!!
He finally got it done. At least stage 1 of the build
@@MattLaidlaw So when are you going to convert over to the RGS ?
Alright Andrew! Awesome upgrades and exhaust! Ride on.
Thank you!
I love the sound. I looked at the vid twice just to hear the sound. Nice Bike.
Bike looking good and shiny, Andrew certainly don't baby his bike just blasting... Matt your camera setup always make sense,nice video per usual. Love from Africa.
Thanks man 👍🏻
haha i sure dont baby any of my bikes or vehicles. I pad a lot of money, im sure going to use it!!! thanks for watching!
😀 Nicely said bro 👍
That Harley-Davidson sound...👌🖤🏍💨🔥
Can’t beat it!!! Thanks for watching!
Really nice, the look is great with the gold parts and stainless Bassani. I appreciate the money that already went into it, without even doing engine stuff yet!
thank you man!! i appreciate it!
Beautiful bike! I like what you did to it, the bassani exhaust are amazing .
Thank you! I do love the look of stainless steel!
Nice bike Andrew!... I like your style be safe out there. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
I will thank you for the support! 🤙🏼
that bike with a 131 and that exhaust will be perfect
I can’t wait man! Thank you!
You can absolutely feel the difference in the rain if you close the lower vents.
Perfect bike! Congrats Andrew!!!
Thank you for the support! 🙏🏻
Love that sound! Taking a new road glide out next week. Just did a Indian challenger review so want to compare. Will see 😆
Well I bought the RGL
Awesome video guys! Wicked build! Sounds amazing!
SIICKKK looking ride Andrew,,,,I have a 2020 RGS,,,"BLACKED OUT" and I LOVE MINE,,131 built in Idaho,,,,Enjoy!!
Thank you for supporting! I appreciate it. I’m jealous. I can’t wait for the 131!
Perfect build Andrew - well done.
Wow that is one beautiful motorcycle. Love the wheels.
thank you sir!!!
Great 👍 sounding Bike Man 👌!
Thank you sir! 🤙🏼
Sweet ride, “with more to come!” 👍
Thanks man!!
@@speedpig513 Andrew what grips were you running on this bike?
Love that Bassani! Don't see them much out there! Look forward to the 131 ci upgrade!
Damn fine bike Man!
I just got a 2015 RG with only 6000miles my first big tourer so much to do to custom it.
Go hard from NZ
Thank you sir!! Right on man, enjoy that RG!!
@@speedpig513 Hell yes I sure will In the wind my friend.👍
Sweet setup! Those exhaust sound freaking awesome! Thanks for the video Matt!
A bar and shield like the CVO has color matched to the bars and wheels would look wicked.

That’s a badass bike clean build
Nice to see a roadglide splitting lanes🍻 Got a Recommendation for a tuning shop?
Bike is awesome & that exhaust sounds wicked.
The guy seems like a legend tbh
Motorcycles really cool You set it up really well Take care guys
Is that a stock bassani exhaust? Sounds a little louder than normanl.
Bassani is where its at . BEST sounding exhaust by far, Just like he said.
So badass, nicely done!!!!!!!!! Looks great and sounds great and seems like it performs great!
Nice Andrew ... I have had both a Road Glide and a Street Glide and I am also 5 ft 11 ... on a good day ... (hehe) BUT i liked the Street Glide better mainly for the better wind protection and also the reach to the info center was MUCH easier ... JUST my opinion ... but LUVed both bikes. THANKS for sharing !!
thank you paul! much appreciated! yeah i felt the SGS did a tad bit better with wind protection. But yeah i love them both as well!!!
Awesome looking bike. Are those stock handlebars? I have a 2020 LRS and like your set up. I see some guys putting on moto bars but not sure the advantage? any help? Thanks.
After owning both two brothers and bassani which do you like more and why?
The bassani for me.... the two bros was nice too, but the certain tone and overall fit and finish to the bassani i liked more.
exhaust is sick. best thing about the bike
Holly ......that bike is FIRE BRO!!!!
I can't get enough of this video! And..I like the Low Rider S and the Slim. Andrew and Matt made the baggers GREAT AGAIN!!! I want to see 4 more years of these cool vids then some lol Love you guys!!!
really cool setup " XL Lowrider S!!"
Amazing bike! That exhaust is pleasing to the eyes and the ears! 👌 What model of helmet were you wearing, I noticed Matt wears one similar to yours?
Thank you!!! It’s a bell race star flex in carbon fiber
I was always a FXDL guy for a long time. I used to talk mad $%!t on the touring guys for riding those hogs but now that I have a FLTRXS I don’t think I can go back 😂 Nice Bike Dude. Ride Safe 🤙🏼
haha the transition but well worth it! thanks for watching
very nice ! the powdercoated wheels really make it stand out .
Thank you man! I appreciate it!
Nice ride and and like you say set up for you and how you ride 🇺🇸👍👍
Nice sounding pipe!
Thanks man! I appreciate it. Thank you for watching! 🤙🏼🙏🏻
really dig that rear fender. would there be any issues running a saddlemen seat now as youve changed it?
So much yes
What is the model of the Bassani 2-1 exhaust you have? And can it be shipped to SoCa from out of state..
Andrew you said you put auto tuner on it and before had issues in the mountains, was that after eh exhaust change or before?
When i had that problem. I had the SG with a stage 4 114 with just the street tuner and slip ons. Bike started chugging and coughing up in Yosemite. Threw “front cylinder too lean” codes. Once i came down in elevation it started running better. Soon after got the auto tuned.
The exhaust sounds awesome!
Nice bike a really good taste simple and clean 👍🏼. Kraus advertise the wolf plate what is the difference between in it and the t ricks plate you are running? Thanks 🙏
You didn't mention the saddlebag switch. I'm guessing it was because of the pipe.
Nice bike, good style. How much did he spend to custom like this? I also used to ride Roadglide before and I would like to custom like this later
Awesome video guys👌what is the rear suspension I couldn’t hear what you said.
It’s a RWD rear suspension set up
Russ Wernimont Designs. Excellent shocks. Cost is around $930 but they are legit.
Yes sir!
what's the difference on that handlebar set up russty ornament vs trashin surplus ?
S and S 128 kit or Harley 131 kit. What’s ur opinion Matt?
Greetings from new Zealand. nice bike Andrew. I really like the idea of baggers getting hotter. I have an opinion on the touring vents. I think HD should have kept them.
A 5 am start from Durango CO to Four corners with motorcross gloves had me fully closed and thawing my hands on the rear head (M8 Ultra), yet fully open the previous day on the 141 -Gateway to Naturita. I dont think it would be such a big deal to keep them.. Keep up the good work.

RWD also has front fork inserts for your bike. Maybe instead of mixing brands, go with Russ Wernimont Designs front and rear?
You make a good point.
I couldn't find them on the RWD website, are they brand new and maybe not released yet?
I bought my RWD front suspension cartridges in Nov 2019 at the initial release. IDK why they’re not on the website. Maybe call or email RWD and ask about availability.
Great build ! Cant wait for the 131!!!!
👍👍 really starting to dig that style with the t-bars or moto bars. Not sure how they would look on my RK standard🤔. Thoughts?
Thank you! I seen RK’s with the Lucky Dave’s bars! They look really nice! Matt has a video with a RKS with that setup. 🤙🏼
It’s does, but Im rockin the king tour pack, windshield and my bike is chrome. I don’t think I’ve seen a chrome setup yet🤔. Question if you could, t-bars seem like they keep you pretty straight up in the seating position and less pressure on the wrist, true?
5'11" in the morning on a good day🤣 i love the bike brother, don't stress too much, i wish my bike was half as nice
Looks like a low rider with bags and a fairing. Looks skinny too. 🤩 wow
That’s what I thought too.
Absolutely beautiful bike 🔥🔥🔥💥
Thank you!! much appreciated man!!
Congrats on the bike man. Looks great and simple and long Jevity
Where's the vest from?? Looks nice!
Nice job Andrew. I would name it a “Road Glide-r S”.
Looks just like a properly tricked out FXDLS!!
thanks man!!
Andrew, a bit off topic, but what vest is that with the diamond stitch leather you're wearing on the ride?
It’s a custom made vest handmade in California by Espinozas leather. They are out here in Rosemead CA. The one I’m wearing is a Laidlaws edition. We sell here in our dealership! 🤙🏼
I have a 2020 H-D Street Glide
Does the Bassani still have the baffle in it or is it removed? I bought the Bassani because of this video lol.
Gorgeous! This bike is dripping sexy. Way to go Andrew. Nicely done. Respect. Peace.
thank you for the kind words!!!! much appreciated!!!
Hey Andrew, beautiful build. I'm not a fan of the black rims, so seeing your gold ones was refreshing. By chance, do you have a link or model # to order?
Anyway we can get a parts list of mods to this bike, really diggin the look, sound and reported feel.
Cool Road Glide man.
No dealer upcharge
Considering buying a bike at Laidlaw
How much was the bar set up
I have a 20 SGS and happen to buy a vent with a close button for the batwing fairing like a year before i got this bike...I replaced the non closable vent with the closable vent and tried closing it and i for sure felt a diff on the freeway.

Sick performance bagger shark !!!!
Thanks man! Much appreciated 🤙🏼
Hi Matt what is the set up of throttle body that Andrew is using onhis bike? I mean the size... Is it 50mm or 58mm or bigger?
Nice ride man, picked up a 20 RG blue & white this year and love it. Will be going with the RS1 shocks as well. Any clearance issues with the shocks, axle and exhaust?
Put a set on my 2013 SG. No issues at all. Super performance
MOTO PILOT what length?
My RWD rear shocks are 13”. The add’l suspension travel vs the stock H-D shocks is a huge improvement. And installation is super easy. No clearance issues on my ‘18 RGS.
Andrew, is that rear fender in the catalog? i cant find it.. need it with the light set up
Killer bike. 2 questions 1 height of the klockworks? 2 I know he used H-D tuner but with 2 into 1 and S&S air cleaner is it technically a voided warranty now? I have same parts sitting there but was concerned about warranty?

Thats a great looking bike, sounds completely mad!
That exhaust sound!
This guy’s got taste. Man. Sexy bike... and every single mod he did to it is very choice.
Very Nice..
The small round bar and sheild badge on the rear Fender whi h model is that from ?
Cheers
Lowglider S, sweet bike.
haha thank you!
Nice bike . I’d prefer S&S or Zippers Performance engine kits over a Harley kit .
I have ZERO experience with the S&S or the Zipper, I'm sure they are great. I did a SE stage 3 117 on my 20 SGS and DUDE!! Totally diff bike and ABSOLUTELY worth it IMHO!! Sick!!! Love the Bike!! This one sounds pretty amazing with that exhaust as well
