    Another great film. Ramona is looking awesome, love the tank and agree the new panniers and rack look sharper. Good news on the avons too, when you lose confidence in tyres they’ve gotta go. The opening scenes at Southend were amazing. BTW you got me properly considering a Harley, spent some time on a Low Rider ST and I get it now, thing was incredible.

    Hi Mark and Lisa
    Been hooked on your content since I watched why I ride about the crazy Rob! (A fantastic story that) Anyways I took out a roadking special and nearly pulled the trigger. Influencer to your many other talents now,
    Anyway long story short, I was looking through eBay at road Kings but then a 1979 superglide lowrider custom popped up. How it fell, the timing etc it felt like it was ment to be so i convinced my self in less then 30minutesso. A trip to Wales from sunny Isle of sheppey and the motorcycle is with me now. 45 years old, so a historic registered vehicle, it's running a 1984 evo 1340 engine. The machine needs seeing for the condition it's in and the work that has gone in to it. It's perfect and I have already added 600 miles in just under 2 weeks.
    You had a hand in this because I was upgrading from my Sportster like you to a roadking but got knocked of track by this custom Harley.
    Would love to meet up if you're ever over this side of the water, keep up the excellent content.

      It's got me bad this motorcycle. If I'm not riding it I'm polishing it. Check my thumb nail picture out Mark. I have uploaded it as my profile picture. It's special for sure. Was imported from the USA in 91 that's where the majority of the work was done. There ain't much original left on her but the work that's been carried out is staggering. The fella I purchased it of was in his early 70s and this was his last motorcycle out of a collection. Poor old boy couldn't move it as bad arthritis in his leg. He looked after it for the 12 years he owned it so now it's my turn to do the same. Have a nice camp guys and looking forward to the new video

    The bike is looking really well Mark. Just love the new decals on the tank, very rich looking. I have 14's on my RK and found them immediately so much more comfortable. I have then canted slightly forward to encourage that 'lean into the wind' but over about 70mph and you are very much a parachute going into the wind, so give them a good shakedown before you head off to Spain.

    Regards the bike, you did a good thing changing those tyres, HD tyres fitted are to hard for our climate, wear well but lethal in the wet.
    Also running apes on 97 RK and I no longer suffer the pain in hands or shoulders.
    If I could reduce the vibes on the back seat, the Mrs might enjoy it more.

    I had a Road King Special for three weeks while my Road King was in for warranty work and I agree with you on the bags and handle bars, although I prefer the lower bars on my RK. What was an eye opener was how good the headlight on the Road King Special is compared to the Road King, so this is an upgrade I may have to make. If you really want to improve the ride quality then upgrade the suspension. I went for Legend suspension front and rear two years ago and it's made a huge difference; my wife finds it much more comfortable, especially on long tours, and the handling is much more confidence inspiring. The other thing about the Special is having to lean into the wind; ugly as it is, I really like the screen on my RK - it makes the ride much less tiring (and it's removable for when I'm just cruising).
    Keep up the videos, they're always well made and enjoyable to watch.

      @@jjg1962 that’s really interesting bout the suspension, heard that a few times , I can’t imagine it being any more comfortable, it’s almost too comfortable already , but I like the idea of improving handling , the headlight is awesome . Great on dark country roads , night riding never been so much fun . . I got my new bars on yesterday, really stoked with them, it’s literally made me smile so much .. I’ll know more after a couple thousand miles , but loving so far .
      I don’t think I’d ever do a screen , I really love the wind … and since the channel called what’s it’s called , I ain’t about to change eh .

    I was in Finchingfield that day. Anyways the tyres, yeah Dunlop suck changed mine out for Cobras on my Triumph Storm and the difference was unbelievable. For me it gave me much more confidence around the corners. It felt if I was at one with the bike rather than the bike making the decisions for me if that makes sense. Next time you guys are up in this neck of the woods and you need some scoff give Braxsted Bakery a shout.
    Loving the decals looks a lot better having a decal that fills in the whole side of the tank in my opinion.
    Great video guys. Watching you both has given me and the better half the Kick up the ass we needed to get over the channel and do a tour of France Switzerland and hopefully if we have time the Dolomites next year.

    hi there... handlebar- and saddlebag design etc.. - it all remains a matter of personal taste and preferance, I reckon... just wanted to give credit to H-D reg. the stock version of the FLHRXS... -> I did not change any of those as I found it perfectly matching my personal needs. I am taking my bike on long hauls .... I mean real "long" ones, most of which 10k and more. The most significant mod. I did was adding the WILBERS NIVOMAT SUSPENSION, a detachable windshield, rear crashbars, and hwy pegs, plus .... -> the 7" daymaker adaptive headlight ... the rest was minor (e.g., blacked out LED indicator bulbs, a metal oil cooler cover, better shifter rod, luggage rack...)... and better looking mirrors of course

    • @LeanIntoTheWind

      Couldn’t agree more .. it’s all personal and we all built differently, height weight etc and all have different needs . Great you didn’t need to change them . Saved you money to spend on suspension eh . Gotta have that bike just right for 10k plus trips ..

    Interesting how Lisa described the arse wiggle on the bike. I've just returned to riding after 40 years absence, and have started with an RE Classic350 before adding larger bikes to the stable. The RE's OEM Ceat tyres did the same wobble on me, and I thought I must have lost my nerve. I've since replaced them with Heidenau KH60s which are a tad aggressive, but we've shit backroads with potholes and gravel banks. Still not sure, but they're better than the Ceats. Avons next, methinks.
