Mine fell off in my hand first day washing the bike. Harley should do the right thing and give every purchaser a new slightly modified ring. Note: The rotory motion you cleaning it releases it so it falls off. Fix it or lose it!
Thank you for these topics - I’ve been looking at getting an FXLRST but I’m waiting to see enough review videos of all the negatives of the bike. Please keep these videos coming.
Great videos …but so confused as to why move from house to apartment with no more garage space .. I’m a great fan no judgement but scratching my head keep up the great videos
Lost the ring on mine the first week. Harley replaced under warranty. fixed mine with 3 small dabs of black silicon on the 3 tabs on the ring. Still comes off easy when you need it to come off.
Put the smallest dab of liquid gasket maker on the tabs of the headlamp ring. Gasket maker will hold the headlight ring in place, but allow easy removal, and will “peel” off the tabs without damaging them.
The cure for the headlight finish ring debacle is up grade the headlight to "Baja Lp6" ! At $759.00 you get an extreme led front head lamp that really looks cool and eliminates that dumb ring that falls off. Of course it's not cheap but it's twice the lamp! It does require the disassembly of the front fairing. And cutting the mounting tabs to get rid of the ring.
Good to know ,Got my2022 FXLRST about 2 weeks ago so far I have installed fuel moto jackpot Riot exhaust, ODI Hart Luck grips, and VH FP-4 tuner. This bike is spectacular but not without its flaws as u pointed out. Riser bushings need torquing down otherwise handlebars and risers are off center, little plastic wind deflector thing spun sideways, front forks need cartridges, too soft, rear suspension is a huge upgrade from 2020-2021 lowrider s, I will probably leave for now. My 114 2021 streetglide special that I traded seemed ato have a little more torque, I suspect gearing is different. All in all I love it and wouldn’t go back to street or Roadglide. Like every other Harley I have owned, there are a ton of upgrades that makes a stock HD into a true road warrior.
Great Video. New to the channel. Wanted to know where you picked up the bronze control levers, and the swollen looking grips you have added? Keep the reviews coming.
Yep mine is gone also...hung on from Maryland to Sturgis and back (+~4,100 miles) then went missing a couple hundred miles later. Replacement is cheap, but out of stock on HD website. I'm riding MadMax naked up front. : (
Hi today i went my the Harley dealer 2 c my new st. We talk and i told him about the Ring problem and he looked at me as i cam from outer space 😅 The i went 2 the show room and took a few rings fromm several st`s and told him the problem He didn`t know anything about it. Greetings from Munich 😎
They always act like ti's the first time they have heard of anything. Wait till your plastic clutch cable assembly breaks and they say I've never heard of that known issue before.
Dang you just figured this out? Mine fell off first week of the bikes release lol I ordered 3 rings when it happened. Glad I did. If you do any type of aggressive riding that things falling off lol
Good information, but I've always had a problem with my phone over heating in direct sunlight, that's why I don't use handlebar mounts. Have you figured out a way to keep your phone from overheating?
Yeap - I lost mine and I ordered a new one from HD - 9 dollar part. I knew it was loose and I lost it on the road before I could get back to the barn. It's on order and I may see it sometime ????????????? Great tips btw - I'm in upstate NY - we might hook up sometime next summer..
A couple dabs of RC car tire glue on the tabs and its good … seems secure will check it and see if it holds up. Dont want it stuck on Permanently but definitely don’t want it to fall off saying how you can’t replace it right now with everything back ordered
No way that ring was run over by several cars. Btw, every thing you need for a Harley is basically backordered. Seems like Harley Stores today only have ballon’s, hotdogs and blues bands to offer
They could at least come up with an aluminum ring with some locking clips or something. Especially at the cost of the bike. They could do better with workmanship.
Warranty covers parts that fall off right? I been wondering myself. Why the move from single house, with garage,to apartment complex. Mrs kick you out?
Bro- I got you to watch my video 8 minutes and not 15 seconds , I got you to leave me a comment-and hopefully I got you to smile and not be too much upset ! I entertained you you watched my video … keep smiling brother 🤪🤣
So what happened to Harley's claim of hundreds of thousands of miles of testing its products? A:. Maybe in a lab but doesn't really happen in the real world. Just the typical marketing BS.

Yep, 100% correct. The ring on the light is very loose. Needs fixing!
Thinking outside the box when upgrading or fixing design flaws is a must...especially when dealing with a 1st year Model Bike
My head light ring fell out as they delivered it and then I lost it up the motorway 🤯🖕one way AOA England 🏴
Mine was definitely coming off! Saw your video and checked before it actually did. Thanks for the info and your other videos!
Thanks buddy

where did you put the dabs; inside/outside the tabs?
@@bthomas2900 right at the tabs
Put the smallest dab of liquid gasket maker on the tabs of the headlamp ring. Gasket maker will hold the headlight ring in place, but allow easy removal, and will “peel” off the tabs without damaging them.
He basically did.
@@Donfleebie1 Not sure you know the difference between tape and gasket maker….
@@ephrammaker3153
He fixed it with double sided tape. No need for liquid gasket maker.
@@Donfleebie1 Okay…. I think there are different ways to do the same thing. Give it a rest cowboy.
@@ephrammaker3153 And the OP did just that. Give this a rest, who do you think you are?
Absolutely appreciate you keeping us informed.
I think that issue has been fixed, the original part number for that ring has been replaced. So hopefully that fixes it.
Didn’t know it is fixed

Sounds like you love this bike.Same here !
An Old Biker trick to stiffen up your front forks....Run heavier fork oil..🤔
I just got an El Diablo today too!
That’s a badasss looking bike ! Good luck buddy
Brad, there's a special FB group just for us!

Did not know that an iPhone (or anything else) can connect to more than one BT device at once. Nice.

Good to see you Sandy. How's do you like your new digs?
Absolutely informative.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
What takes the place of the fairing support bracket u took off?
jersey guy gotta luv it! thanx your videos help alot just bought 2023
Very cool - enjoy it
I have deposit on a 23, fingers crossed they fixed the damn ring!
Did Harley fix the problem on your bike? Headlight issue.
Rocking the Sandy's version of Mr. T Look! 👍🏾
🤣🤪😜
Lost mine on second week!!! Cheers from Portugal.
Good looking out brother, keep making these kind of videos 👍
Great content 👌. I think Harleydavidson should repair that poor design on that nice bike.
Thank you
Blessings 🙌
love your bike. I really want to test ride a Harley Davidson.
George- anytime brother.
Dang you just figured this out? Mine fell off first week of the bikes release lol
I ordered 3 rings when it happened. Glad I did. If you do any type of aggressive riding that things falling off lol
Poor design indeed
@@HOLYSHIFT You got lucky yours lasted that long. Very upsetting on a bike that costs what these do.
Do you have a part # for the headlight ring..??
Good information, but I've always had a problem with my phone over heating in direct sunlight, that's why I don't use handlebar mounts. Have you figured out a way to keep your phone from overheating?
ride. faster.
What is HD doing to fix this?
Yeap - I lost mine and I ordered a new one from HD - 9 dollar part. I knew it was loose and I lost it on the road before I could get back to the barn. It's on order and I may see it sometime ????????????? Great tips btw - I'm in upstate NY - we might hook up sometime next summer..
Winter riding too …👍🏻💪🏻😃
@@HOLYSHIFT I'm heading south this winter to get some riding time in...he he
HD should replace the ring under warranty... its a part failure.
Not yet ! But will fix hopefully tomorrow before it does.

I haven't lost my ring yet, butnits always loose lol.

👍🏻 😆 LOL 👍🏻
That's everything everywhere, not just Harley.
@@NeatFreq Unfortunately, you’re right.How’s the “Great Reset” working for us?
@@Donfleebie1 Terrible, all we can do is pray someone fixes it before it all falls apart
@@NeatFreq We had someone that had things running pretty well.
Is your double sided tape fix still working for the trim ring..?
Did it ever fall off again ..?
I’m thinking about doing it..
Never fell
They could at least come up with an aluminum ring with some locking clips or something. Especially at the cost of the bike. They could do better with workmanship.
I agree 💯 percent
Yup, mines laying on I75 somewhere. Lol
Just found you. Tell me about the seat and backrest you are running please.
I have a video about it . Enjoy
Thanks for sharing.
Great vid 🤜🏻🤛🏻
i had 2 check this ring and fix it thx😎
What bag you have on steering wheel ?
Thrashin
I lost 2 already 8 dollars at Harley pretty annoying lol I should use the tap
What happened to the explanation of the red dot
??????? Please subscribe
My dealer replaced mine under warranty but even so it’s an $8 part. Poorly designed for sure
Warranty covers parts that fall off right? I been wondering myself. Why the move from single house, with garage,to apartment complex. Mrs kick you out?
Down sizing, still wife the Mrs.!
I was wondering the same 🤣. That concrete garage could cause condensation problems in winter, I have the same issue
@@steveslater2260 my wife still likes my bull shit ! 🤣🤪
You took 8 minutes to tell us to add some double sided tape to the trim ring? LOL. You could have done that in 15 seconds.
Bro- I got you to watch my video 8 minutes and not 15 seconds , I got you to leave me a comment-and hopefully I got you to smile and not be too much upset ! I entertained you you watched my video … keep smiling brother 🤪🤣
Duct tape, duct tape will keep it on! lol I dunno, no rings falling off my RGS! Great now I just jinxed myself
haha
Good info brother.😎
What seat have you got ,,
Mustang touring
LMAO "WHAT IS LOVE" I was waiting for you to start shaking your head to the side lol.............good tunes Sandy....................nice ST !
That’s my second favorite song after Frozen - let it go !
@@HOLYSHIFT do you wanna build a snowman? 🤣
I offered to buy that bar, in the video when you took it off smh
Looks like your straight from the set from “boys in the hood” with your chains and Beanie 😂
😹😂🤣🤪😆👍🏻
That music! 😂 Jersey guy😂
As far as the ring goes I put a dab of silicone on it , problem solved
Boss I secured mine so good that I can't get it off 😄

Man that ring coming off embarrassing .
Poor design!
Blew off 1st time I washed my ST.
Shit design!
How is it for the passenger on that bike?No one has a video out on that?
Terrible stand also. Two hundred miles and stand collapsed tipping bike. Soundless and passionless. Cool looking handles great.
I've had 3 new Softails in the past 3 years and never had a problem with the stand. I ride about 7k miles a year.
Mine already fell out 😂 fucking Harley
💯🤙
To the point plz
