    Modding bikes always is a up and down emotional roller coaster ride I know I have heavily modded and customized 4 of my bikes myself which have won me 9 trophies from shows. My poor wife would hear me b super happy one day when things went right then super agitated and pissed off the next day and regretting I ever bought the bike when u run into mod challenges that open up a can of worms that get u so frustrated, but when it’s all said and done and I bring that trophy home it was all worth it. So I can totally relate what u guys go through in your videos which I highly enjoy because I have been through it many time too. Keep the vids coming!…

    Love the work ethic! Mostly the solo cups and real world shit like everything going wrong and getting aggravated. I still do that... threw my bike lift out my back door after a rotor and stator repair job went sideways. Wifey just stayed quite and brought me a busch latte.

    That carbon fiber looks great! This is the first ive heard about that clutch problem. Glad to see it now, im thinking about buying a '20-'22 Electra Glide Standard. Will be worth fixing right off the bat.
    I lmao about the tools 😂
    I was bad when i was younger, real bad. Tools through overhead door windows, smashed my car windows, caved in fenders lol. Yeah, not good lol.
    Don't do that anymore thankfully.
    Funny how little projects can get things twisted.

    Bike still looks good. I'm personally not a carbon fiber fan, but works well in that application. Eric's tools are building up those frequent flyer miles...I can relate. Pretty easy and I mean really easy to see why Eric gets um...distracted...yeah distracted while working and filming these projects. Just 3 TWSS moments today, and in no particular (sure...right) order: "Want me to pull this out a little bit?" "I have smaller hands." "They're old nuts..." Ride safe friends!

    @bradkopczyk9049 10 дней назад

    Yes guys..the plastic clips on the newer rg and sg models (minus the 2021, which I believe was Hydraulic) have been known to commonly break and you will be stranded. Cyclefanatix did a video on this I believe with mad max. I got the fat bagger clutch adjuster also. That and the stock shifter linkage has also been an issue also. So i would change them both. Good work guys 👍

    Have the same 22 ST and also put the fat bagger in because I heard of the issues with the clutch plastic parts. 10k miles and absolutely happy so far, that is with heavier clutch springs and Mueller Ezclutch as well.

    Boys will be boys. My husband taught our grandsons to sing "I got the whole world in my hands" while peeing outside. 😔 The angle of the left bag looks off, must be the camera.
    I used the fatbaggers clutch adjuster on my RG. We changed my bars to 16", hubby put clutch back together with stock plastics shit. 9 miles from home It let go. (insert more 4 letter words). Hubby is much better at "getting things home" so he drove it the 9miles back home and there she sat for 3 days until we got the part and then did manual adjustment to clutch. Ya know the fun stuff. WORKS awesome. When hubby did his SG bars to 16", the plastic stock shit went right back together and no issues 2 years later.

    Not sure why people still mess around with those old bags.. My 2010 has factory HD 2016 bags on it from a guy with the same color bike that had to go to those long extended bags.. Bought his two stock silver one touch bags for $100 bucks.. Even the aftermarket ones are not expensive and so much nicer to use than the old outside latch bags and the shape of the bottoms are much better IMO as well..

      They are Amazon specials, only because I didn't want to spend big money on another brand that I would have to modify to fit as well

  • @M_J_Glide_22
    @M_J_Glide_22 10 дней назад

    I have to ask... Are you changing your suspension because of the bottoming out or banging since you put on those bag guards. I ask this because that is just what happened to mine. I put the same exact ones on and then noticed that I felt like I was bottoming out . I wasn't. The bars were banging against my swing arm. They actually rubbed up against the rear brake caliper hose...

    • @VPCustoms
      @VPCustoms  6 дней назад +1

      I have no issues with bottoming out. The legends are 13 inch set to very stiff for my riding style
