I've upgraded my exhaust on every Harley I've owned, but have decided not to upgrade the exhaust when I get the 2024 Road Glide. After test riding one and feeling the power the 117 has...think I'll stick with stock. Not only because the power is already there, but also looking to use it exclusively for touring and not really wanting a louder exhaust for long trips.
I just got mine a month ago. Said the same thing. Ended up with slip ons because of 3 near misses where people almost ran me off the road because they weren’t paying attention to their surroundings. Tabs 50 cal with zombie baffles. Got them off eBay discounted. As it sits everything about the 24 rg is perfect. Got the slipons for safety. Other than that I have a real hard time swapping anything out to “make it mine” because of how perfect it comes stock
@@StruddleToaster I have TAB Performance on my Softail and really like the sound of those. I will likely do the same, but hopefully won't feel the need right away!
You're spot on. Fix all of these factory defects and the Harley Davidson is a pretty nice motorcycle. I will admit, I test rode the 2024 Road Glide. I must admit the company is giving you a much better starting point than in the past. The seat is ok. The power is pretty good. The bars are good. If you needed to change them, the bolts are right there. It still needs slip on mufflers but they have to make it quiet from the factory to be compliant with government noise regulations.
My biggest gripe with Harley at the price point is the necessity to upgrade the suspension which to me is a big fail on their end!!..the other upgrades pretty much an option per every individual's liking..Ride Safe😊
On my Sport Glide, I did the exhaust, pegs, mirrors, derby cover, LED halo lighting and a quick release backrest for the wife. My Triumph Street Triple, a tail tidy, exhaust, bar end mirrors and engine guards and some red anodized bits. My Triumph Tiger, lower engine bars, hand guards and a top box so far.
Of the items you listed the only thing I had to do, on my 2022 Heritage, was add a quick release removable trunk / sissy bar with rack, also quick release. I left everything else stock. Exhaust. I'm done with being loud. The seat and handle bars are very comfy. Very versatile.
I purchased a 2022 Road glide limited last year and I’m happy with what it has. The only thing I might add is some Rinehart slip on exhaust. I always hear about upgrading the suspension but I don’t see any reason to.
Could you imagine having to replace the seat in your brand new car to be able to sit on it for more than an hour? They've been allowed to get away with that BS way too long... My Chieftain seat ain't the best but it's at least acceptable.
Your car seat is fully adjustable. I don’t know of any popular stock motorcycles that have this feature. Considering everyone has a different build, everyone is going to need something different.
@@ElMontro1992 73% of Americans are overweight. I would guess that percentage is higher yet for guys that buy Harleys. Seems kinda stupid not to build your bikes for your market doesn't it? Expecting guys to loose weight to make their seat more comfortable isn't a very good marketing plan... Lol, here's the scenario... You walk into a Harley dealer, talk to a sales person and sit on a bike. You say; "The seat isn't very comfortable." Sales person says, "Thats because you are 100 pounds overweight and Harley seats aren't made for obese people." Yea..., that's gonna work real good...
Bit of mild work to my triumph bonneville classic and it now sounds like a beast! Disconnected pollution rubbish, bit of cam and airbox work. Staintune exhausts, also added a gell seat top. Crashbar with highway pegs, and handlebar risers. Can now do 200 kilometres in a stint with no dramas or discomfort. Aldo upgraded rear suspension to ohlins which was money well worth spending. Riding 50 years and had alsorts in that time (harleys included), but my trumpy tops em all. Reliable as hell, 100 dollar services every 4000-5000 kilometres i do myself very easy to workon bike. Way easier and cheaper than harley maintenance. Love my bonny. Best bikes in the world👍 each to their own. Just my opinion after many years of experience.
You’re bought and paid for but you are at least semi honest! But you are still a used car salesman!! Having said that I have done most of the things you mentioned, so good video, I love lighting because I need it at night to see at night and I believe the more visible you are the better chance you have of surviving, great video 👍🏻 I do however love the Hollywood bars on my 2016 Softail Slim S and Electra Glide Limited stock bars. Been riding bikes since 1965. My first job was my local Harley shop and I rode a Suzuki to work because he was the Suzuki dealer also. Times have changed since AMF. I think Harley is going the wrong direction with the German CEO And board of directors these days. I traded my stock sadly.
Regarding the seat... I got a saddlemen as well. Haven't had a back surgery, in fact I was told by a spinal surgeon that he couldn't help me. Broke a couple vertebrae and they apparently healed well enough.
You are at a gas station, sitting on your bike with the kickstand up. Realize you’re using a dark visor on your helmet at night and have a clear in your saddlebag. You go to stand up and then drop your brand new ‘24 road glide. I felt like an idiot!
Suspention dosent have to cost that much to see a huge upgrade for harley crap, exspcially if your bike came with air shicks. You can get progreesive front and rear for like 500$ or you can pay thousands and get 10% better. I loge about 40k a year on my bike and do it on everything from tarmack to sigle track. With a good seat and the suspention ive never had back problems even on 1000 mile days.
Indian seems to do better on most of the topics mentioned, but there is still room for improvement. I considered the Road Glide and the Pursuit. Decided on the Pursuit. There is a reason why Indian Motorcycle's global market share increased from 2% in 2014 to 13% in 2023. I do like HD, but based on current options, decided Indian was better for me. HD has been investing more in innovation to compete which is good for both Indian and HD. Competition benefits the consumer.
Oh Please, Grow up!! Rarest Harley in the WORLD, is a stock Harley! Though I admit, neither of mine are stock by far, I just don't hate on those that choose to stay stock!
They probably stay stock since they can't afford the upgrades. The bikes are so costly and mthly payments are higher then most car payments. I know it takes me mths to save up for a few cheaper upgrades on my Vrod. Mostly stock other then pegs and handgrip for more comfortable ride.
Sir, you did a great review and I like your list. Especially your style how to explain your point of view. Thank you for the guidance. I had the Rinehard exhaust on my Road King. But in Germany it is illegal, therfore I swiched to Miller exhaust. Good and I can pay it, Not so great voice like before, but legal. In my town, the cops are checking very, very hardly the noise level and no chance😢 Thumbs up and greeting from Germany…
4:27 The stock seat on my 2024 street glide is actually pretty good, It's pretty comfortable and has more lower back support than previous years. Granted its not as nice as a saddleman road sofa but its way better than previous year Harleys. 6:48 because shit happens, there's only 2 types of bikers in the world: those that have dropped their bike, and those that will. 11:00 the saddle bags on the 24 street glides are deceivingly large, my wife and I loaded our stuff in the bags and a duffle bag on the luggage rack and were good for a week. a tour pack would be great if we were going for any longer. 13:15 the bars were the only thing I liked about the road glide, so I have to agree there, I'll be getting 12 inch bars on my street glide, city wise I use that bat wing fairing to my advantage 13:38 I actually really like the suspension on my 2024 street glide and not planning to change it out, set the preload for my wife and I and we were good to go
Pipes are definitely needed. Seat not necessarily because someone who is not overweight the seat is big enough. Extra storage yes if you travel on it. Crash bars are good for safety but don't look good on Dynas, Softails, Sportsters.
I just sold my Hammer. What a sexy bike! I'm down to just my Triumph Rocket now. She's a beast! Victory cruisers were the sexiest bikes on the market. Polaris just didn't market the brand.
When snow is gone, hope to get up on a bike again, hope it will be a Harley. That gut overyour belt is not helping you. With one back surgery, looking at another one, really consider your activities.
I hate to say this but everyone is different, and what your riding a lot of us would not ride , and we prefer running boards not pegs and forward control, and , we don’t like junking up the bike with a radio speakers and extra storage, if you can’t fit it in your saddle bags you didn’t need it ! But seriously everyone’s bike customization is different and no most don’t have 5 of these things you listed
Hey dude been watching you and your audio is very very low in studio outside shots are ok but all and I mean all inside audio is too low pls adjust cheers
Get rid of that BELLY MAN, MAKES HUGE DIFFERENCE ON STRESS OF UR BACK. NOT BEEN NASTY TO U ,BUT I HAD DID IT ALSO, BAD BACK. I WENT FROM 292LB TO 213 LBS, SOLID NOW N I EXCERISE TO HELP MY BACK INJURY. 2 different back back injurys im 6.1 ft tall ALSO
No thank you. My '09 Triumph Rocket is faster, sexier, and perfectly comfortable even with a 15 year old stock seat. Imagine dropping that much money on a bike that is barely ridable for a long haul.
People, ask yourselves are you into motorcycles for adventures of traveling on two wheels or are you into buying parts? Make content about traveling and motorcycle safety. Buying stuff? Come on man.
Yamaha roadstar 1600 or 1700 have a much more reliable and better sounding engine than Harley. Can get them for dirt cheap to. No Chinese parts. Just straight Japanese reliability. “It’s not American”. So? Not like Harley has been known for reliability to begin with. So tired of hearing the “Harley sound” guys. Plenty of other males and models sound better than a Harley.
Hey settle down bro no one cares what you ride. I dont hate on other bikes or there riders, so why do you feel the need to hate on someone eles for their oppinion. I dont like loud bikes either and ive been ridding harley,and other bikes for 50 years. Nothing sounds like a well tuned in line 4 either.
@ you know which two bikes sound the best? Honda cbx1100 and the Kawasaki kz1300. Them 6 cylinder engines on those bikes cannot be beat sound wise. Also I ain’t hating. Just making a statement. Harley riders think theirs sound the best, when in reality they aren’t the best sounding. They sound great sure. But not the best. Again a Yamaha roadstar 1700 vtwin cruiser sounds way better than ANY Harley engine.
@Vickingpin05 i like the old suzuki gfx 1200 that thing sounded like a jet at 7000rpms. and felt like one to.i put a 1356 rocket kit in mine with an air shifter and lots of power upgrades ive had r1 and a h2 but still liked the gfx the best.
@Vickingpin05 we used to street race title to title. I had two garages full of bikes.many of them probable could have beaten me. ( i had three 1100 turbo chared yamahas ) which was the fastest production bike of the day. But the riders werent detecated.
What's the deal with doing these videos with your guns in the background ? Looks like your trying to over compensate for some other short comings..smfh

The most overpriced bikes on the market and they are still playing catch up in tech. Wow Harley this past year gave you better handlebars for your 30k bike? Should have been standard 2 decades ago. Why are we complimenting Harley for the most basic things they should be doing already. The insane price of their bikes should include the majority of this. Not the pipes. But cmon. Suspension, bars, lights. It’s as if we are praising a toddler for finally not missing the toilet bowl when they go to the restroom.

I spent $900 to upgrade my Street Glide suspension. I felt no improvement. So I returned them. Now I’m looking at either Wilbers or Ohlins.

Most of their seats are comfortable. The problem is obesity. They don’t make the seat for ppl 100lbs overweight.

07 superglide, 50,000 mi. Bone stock .I'm just as happy with it as the day I bought it.
Regarding the seat... I got a saddlemen as well. Haven't had a back surgery, in fact I was told by a spinal surgeon that he couldn't help me. Broke a couple vertebrae and they apparently healed well enough.

Travel on the suspension is important.
I would imagine as expensive as Harley davidsons are that everything would be top quality and comfortable
Rinehart is the pumpkin spice of exhaust 🤣
😂
Why do so many of your titles read negative in regards to the motor company?clickbait? Over and over I notice your titles are negative comments on HD.
Yes, negative titles have been proven to get more clicks. There are vids out there about it...
Other than a brain bucket helmet I think he hit every stereotype

I put Tab Preformance with zombie baffles on my 2023 road glide st. It wakes the dead on a cold start. Super reduced solo seat with pillion.
Pipes are definitely needed. Seat not necessarily because someone who is not overweight the seat is big enough. Extra storage yes if you travel on it. Crash bars are good for safety but don't look good on Dynas, Softails, Sportsters.
I did the squadron pro fog lights by Baja designs on my 24 street glide absolutely bright as the sun 😂
Why is HD so great if it sucks so bad from the factory and you need to change everything?
You don't need to change anything. People just like to make it their own and it's fun to customize things. It's like a glock or ar-15.
Money pit harley
Right bike, right accessories make all the difference in the world.
The one real problem with the exhaust on the giveaway 883 is it isn’t in my garage yet!
LOL! Spend $30k OTD on a bike then another couple of grand to make it not complete ass...yeah...
I miss Victory.
I just sold my Hammer. What a sexy bike! I'm down to just my Triumph Rocket now. She's a beast! Victory cruisers were the sexiest bikes on the market. Polaris just didn't market the brand.

Are 14 inch handles bars work good road glide
I’m not upgrading f’ing anything at that price , a fool and his money I guess
What rear protection bars are those on your sportster?
I hate to say this but everyone is different, and what your riding a lot of us would not ride , and we prefer running boards not pegs and forward control, and , we don’t like junking up the bike with a radio speakers and extra storage, if you can’t fit it in your saddle bags you didn’t need it ! But seriously everyone’s bike customization is different and no most don’t have 5 of these things you listed
$49? no!
Harleys suck period, yeah we know that
Well its time for harley to lower prices because your saying they put junk on rhe bikes.
And now we know why Harleys are a rip-off they obviously do not give you the parts you need I bought a 24 Road Glide and it is not impressive at all
I guess my bike sucks!
Hey dude been watching you and your audio is very very low in studio outside shots are ok but all and I mean all inside audio is too low pls adjust cheers
Get rid of that BELLY MAN, MAKES HUGE DIFFERENCE ON STRESS OF UR BACK. NOT BEEN NASTY TO U ,BUT I HAD DID IT ALSO, BAD BACK. I WENT FROM 292LB TO 213 LBS, SOLID NOW N I EXCERISE TO HELP MY BACK INJURY. 2 different back back injurys im 6.1 ft tall ALSO
hi bro if you want a great bike you can get a royal enfield . it is better ceheaper and retro please have a review
No thank you. My '09 Triumph Rocket is faster, sexier, and perfectly comfortable even with a 15 year old stock seat. Imagine dropping that much money on a bike that is barely ridable for a long haul.
That before sucked
People, ask yourselves are you into motorcycles for adventures of traveling on two wheels or are you into buying parts? Make content about traveling and motorcycle safety. Buying stuff? Come on man.
If you own a Harley Davidson, and it's FLAT BLACK, it SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No. Harley just suck 😂
Buy upgraded usedpow mileage garage jewelry
Harley just sucks.
You can tell almost everything he adds to his bike is given to him by those companies. Unsubscribe!
Doesn't matter what you put on a Harley, it will always suck.

I ride a victory. Wouldn’t own a Harley.
I ride a Harley. Wouldn't own a victory.
@ better get those accessories or it sucks. I’m not particularly fond of the promotional here either.
I own 2 Harley, would ride anything
@ yeah me too it’s just my friends all ride Harley and are constantly giving me crap. From behind me of course but that’s just a technicality.
I ride a Harley. I would love to ride a Victory
