Hey Steve I just wanted to let you know that because of your vid I’ve installed 5 upgrades to my bike, anything from Ciro to SOB. When you started your channel you wanted to help other bikers like myself to save money, and enjoy the satisfaction of DIY. For the few (hater) that post, you have way more people like my self who appreciate your help with our build. Not only do we install we learn so much more about our bikes then just sending it to HD service or other service centers. I thank you my friend and again appreciate you. Others I watch are helpful but to me, your different and because of that I trust and believe in your content. Keep going bro
Hey thank you Andy! Appreciate the kind words sir., Im glad the videos are helping and youre getting to wrench on your own bike and save some money! Be safe brother!
Hey Steve, I guess this comment is for everyone looking thru the video. So we recently spoke about the electric center stand and I finally got it installed (SOB ELECTRIC CENTER STAND). Just something to keep in mind is that the bottom plate under the bike needs to be as FLAT as possible so that the plate that goes on top of the bottom plate sits flat and you’re able to put the screws straight thru the bottom plate and have em catch the smaller plate to sandwich the bikes plate. If that bottom plate is not straight you’re going to have to carefully pry to flatten that frame plate and believe me it’s a pain in the butt. But it’s doable and the stand is installed. I also installed the those cobra headers and I ended up doing what you suggested and hammered a part of it to dent it in a get some more clearance for the legs. Overall thank you for all of your videos .
8:22 - I,m of the opinion that anything is possible. Just depends how much you wanna F with it. I take comfort in your experience and know we think alike. Ty for clear theory on what’s possible and what to expect i.e. - expect the unexpected
thanks for checking out the video and glad it helped...and yes there is so much you can do, but getting a plan ahead of time will save you tons of money and time
I was unhappy to hear about your blood pressure. I look forward to seeing your videos even tho I don't ride a Harley Davidson. I do work on my niece's CVO and Sportster. I have a 97 Yamaha Royal Star. When I first watched one of your videos I instantly recognized your passion in what you do. You try your best and that is evident to me. Keep up the good work!
Thank you manuel! Im keeping it in check these days...Hey man I love the Yamaha bikes..I had one for years...V star 1300 ...one of the best bikes I owned to be honest. Comfortable too! Im glad my videos have helped you! be safe man!

Another awesome video Steve, and well explained, don't let people get your BP up man, I think some people just like to hate or act like they don't have any brains, ride safe and ride easy Brother 💯
ah man I know the hate runs rampant on groups and even here on youtube its a sad world we live in ,,,I gotta stop letting it eat at me...either way...I hope the videos like this help clear somethings up and educate others....thanks for checking it out bro..much appreciated.
@@sikbaggers I agree brother, people just like to piss other people off, but I bet they wouldn't have the balls to say chit to our faces, keyboard warriors is what I call em, I just won't answer them or I'll just delete their messages, that way I don't let it bother me, stay safe brother 💯👍
Hey Steve, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thanks to you I'm full AdvanBlack bags etc., Air Ride and so forth. Question is True Track stabilizer installed can I install an SOB centerstand as well?
SIK Baggers I absolutely will. Had a wreck coming back from Daytona and waiting to get my bike back from tilleys Harley Davidson, once I get it back the build will be on for sure
Left side barely makes contact even with a 1 inch drop in the rear and air ride..no biggie,..I put it up til it touches and then back it down off the pipe...if you run with it touching it rattles like hell lol
I have a 19 RGS. Is there enough clearance between the tire and fender that it does not rub when all the air is let out of the shocks with the 1 inch lowering brackets? Thanks
to answer your question in the short..nope. lol you will run the fender. Nature of the beast...give , take some kind of situation. If you ever blow a line then you will be on the tire..that being said..I have nevr blew a line or even heard of anyone blowing a line for that matter...take your time on the plumbing install and you'll be fine...go over your bike routinely as you should, and check the lines, wires etc...preventative maintenance will get you a long way.
@@sikbaggers Appreciate the response and info. I like the idea of saving $ by not having to replace the whole back end and exhaust just to get the stand. Just need to decide if it's worth taking the chance of the the back tire possibly locking up on the hwy. Even if the odds are minimal.
Thanks for the video steve i just purchased the SOB center stand and im about to install it this videos is gonna make it easier to installed i just got one question that i dont know if u can help me with i bought a harley acc swith for the center stand and i dont know if is gonna create any problem the switch id on and off one 3 cables any imput on that ill appreciate
LOL...aaahh man...I didnt know it was bad until I went on a few visits to the VA and they said man you gotta calm your butt down lol gotta take care of my myself every now and again
The great thing about SOB is they made is easy for you to make sure you get it right. They have a couple of questions for you before you even by the stand. Soo you dont mess up
I have a 06' road glide that i want to customize but don't know what to do first between 1)rear end kit 2) rear air suspension or 3) elertic center stand. which one should i do first.
Lol Steve, unfortunately there are guys like that everywhere. Great video , my Detroit choppers emblems came in and are top notch quality. So much so brothers in my club are calling to grab some. Keep it !
I don’t know about electric center stands, but I love my Easy Off stand. While on the stand you can just ride right ofc of it. You can stand sitting on the bike. 😎😎
Wow. Thanks for the video Steve. I have been hoping for something like this since I got my bike last year. Never even thought to just do a search for centre stands. Take care of your BP dude!
Thank you man...yeah gotta watch out for myself now and again....glad the video helped man...I love the stand and the air ride...the stands are kinda pricey but when shes sitting there straight up and looking good...thats when it makes it worth it
Hey brother are those inch lowering block stocked at most Harley dealerships? I’ve got a 2018 road glide special do I just order the year of electric stand for that or is the different ones that sob has?
I would like to see a installation video, because their are no installation videos that show you how and what i'm a visual person and this would help me greatly.
I got mri center stand two sets of legs 4 inch and 3 inch took it to Harley to get it done . They said could not do it Got the one inch lower block , told them to make the lower. Block fit .al u have to do it trim it down they did not want to
MrG!! Whats up man....thanks for checking it out..Ive been swamped and I know you have released some vids i need to get over there and check them out....stay safe brother!
Steven, what lowering block are you using on the RG? I have an 18 RG Special with jnr air ride and I questioned them On the lowering block and they said “it may or may not work on the 19 inch turbine wheel” did you use that block and did you experience it hitting anywhere? Thanks man and keep the vids coming.
Very informative Steve! Thanks. BTW I’m with ya on the BP. Mine goes up too when I have to deal with actual SOB’s! ( people, not the company, lol!) Diggin the vlogs so keep ‘em comin! Anything else coming up for the WP or is she done?
Hey Kevin...We have a few small things coming up...some of it is already installed..see if you catch it in the next few vids...waiting on the products to hit the shelves before I release the video though lol
Well we do know for sure pancake cross overs do cause performance decrease. That is why companies like Fullsac and Fuel Moto make full size crossovers.
If the pipe runs under the bike straight like I talked about then yes....just make your measurements aired out and go from there...if you give Ronny a call at SOB before you order then he will get you the right stand. The 17 up M8 bikes have slightly more room than the twin cams too...so you should be good.
Hi Steven, great video I love that you are up front with everything. Can you sent the information on that center stand parking puck. I did a lot of up grades on my bike with your help and I will be ending you pictures here soon again thanks for everything.
Thank you Charles...glad they have helped buddy... this is the link to Joels site...He is about an hour and a half from me...good dude...I dont think they are listed but just give him a call and tell him you want a center stand plate like mine and he can shoot you some different prices depending on what you want. www.jhchoppers.com/
Hey Steve just a thought ... state your case when you know what your talking about and let the keyboard commandos run their mouths and show those who know, just how stupid they are. Great video as always and keep calm and ride on brother.
Sad that you had to explain this very thing however that is the harsh reality that we live in Bro.... Take deep breath rub your ears and say over and over (Goosfrabba Goosfrabba) Lmfao.........
this is true but this is the world we live in lol I wanted to clear up the confusion but also make the guys just now looking aware of the things they needed to watch out for while doing this. you know.....2 birds....kinda thing
@@sikbaggers I agree most guys (and a select few I am sure gals) would agree that if we have been following you for sometime that we are perfectly capable of dealing with an issue and if we are not we take the next step (what does that look like) well check for another video from yourself or another youtuber, or go to the source.

Got the one inch lower block , told them to make the lower. Block fit .al u have to do it trim it down they did not want to
Do you need air ride to use an electric center stand?
absolutly..you have to have a way to lower the bike down on to the center stand...which is the air ride.
