Agree. I’m same height. I got the kodlin lowering kit as well and it feels so much better but my Le Pera kickflip upfront is so damn wide I’m now on the balls of my feet. Thinking of swapping seats for the Harley 2-up upfront but I love the look of the Le Pera I might just stick w it. I just want to be more flat footed so I can back my bike up to my parking spot and when I also want to take my son out for rides. I never had a problem with my height until I got into bikes 😂 pain in the ass
Buying anything and not having any regrets of one kind or another, is no easy task these days. The bike definitely fits you extremely well and you nailed it on the needed mods. Another comprehensive and entertaining video once again Staci. Hope you have great holidays and thank you for keeping us entertained and informed about great rides and food. 👍🏻
You are completely correct, that certain Harley parts are just fine. Talking about the engine, when you look at your service manual, there are certain parts that need to be checked at intervals. For longevity sake, there is no problem with stock stuff, but doing proper maintenance is key. A lot of folks wait until stuff is broken, but then it's too late !! I have a 2006 softtail Deluxe with close to 100,000 miles i have had the motor apart a couple times but not because it was broke. I do my own work except for machine work, so maintenance is key. Some of my friends say stuff like, " why did you take it apart?" " It ran fine". My answer is. " I hate breaking down on the road !!". I did that when I was in my 20s. My point is that maintenance is key to reliability.
I have a gen 1,gen 2 and gen 3 fjr.I just opened up the motor on the gen 1 for the first time at 142000 miles to check the valves.they were still in spec.
i love these videos, and i watch alot when its cold and snowy, but ride ti food is my favorite, down to earth , real life riding, camping and having a good time on a bike, thanks for the videos, looking forward to more, im 64 years old and have been riding since i was 18, my wife used to ride her own, and of course with me, here in Ohio, thanks again,ps my favorite ride is my dyna lowrider
Nice! I've had mine for about a year and put 17k so far, daily ride it as a commuter. As a 5'10" man I still think this bike is the perfect bike, in my opinion you get a lot of guys saying they need baggers out of pure ego lol. Got no plans of trading mine either, I'll be keeping her for life Edit: I've been looking at the Advanblack lowers as well, I asked them about crash bars. Apparently they'll be releasing crash bars for sale next month that work in conjunction with their lowers. They look pretty good, so I'll be giving them a shot
You pretty much pushed me over the threshold I've been balancing on for some time now about whether or not to possibly pick up the low rider ST. I currently primarily ride my 2022 Road Glide ST, and I love the bike, it's great. The only thing is, similar to what you mentioned, I tend to just like having a main bike I ride all the time. Lugging the road glide around when I'm just ripping through the city and lots of stop and go, lower speed riding, the road glide is just a big bulk to be doing that on for me. I love the idea of having a bike, like you mentioned, I can simply strip the bags off if I wish and rip town, or load it up and disappear. Also, on a side note, I agree somewhat with the gel in seats. I have one with gel, it's not bad, but my non-gel seat with a sheepskin is far and above better, especially in cooler months but even in warmer ones because air flows through it nicely. Anyways, you're rad, stay rad, cheers, safe rides, and thanks for the video!
Damn you're riding that thing.. great job. Its riding season all year round here in florida, so I'll put in a few extra miles for you guys in cold weather climates!
Setting up your ride is paramount to covering miles on the open road. If you really love your bike, it’s an ongoing process for perfection. You’re doing a damn good job! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Love the kitties, I’m picking up my st today, new tank and brake line recall took a month, I have had 7 Harley’s over the years love the St the most, You must ride to food with zero calories, Your looking lean these days Staci, Your videos are my Top 3, love the scenery and it is easy listening to you describe each, You Rock and so does Waylon !
Knocked Loose! 🤟🏻 I love your bike, I have a Softail now and love the way I sit in it. It's definitely my favorite frame. Maybe I'll eventually upgrade to the ST. Love your videos, always my fav to watch!
1st time watching your videos, you are a awesome host / narrator. Your explanations are spot on and you seem to have the experience and knowledge to back everything up. There are influencers that speak to fast or what’s worst, they speak too slow and use slang, that annoys me. I’m now a fan / follower of you. Happy Thanksgiving. 👍
I'm riding a 2024 lowrider ST mostly stock at 5'1" and I LOVE IT still. I put a ton of miles on it this summer and it's great. I am using the HD reduced reach 2up seat, but considering the Le Pera in the future and I did do the Kodlin rear shock lowering kit to get just about 1" of lowering on the rear. It isn't as great of a fit for my height as my old softtail slim was, but it also has way more touring features that make longer trips more comfortable. Your parts list is my long term wishlist. :)
Thanks for the quick update and for the walk-around of the changes you made to your bike! Let us know what you work out as far as a camera bag goes as I still haven't found an ideal system for my gear. Now I need to go visit my bike and shovel some of the 34" of snow we got yesterday and last night! Looking forward to the next video!
Great content as usual. I’ve been riding for over 50 years and just purchased this fall a new to me Road King. 2019. My first Harley. Bought Friday 13th with 1300 miles on it. At 5’7” with a 30 inch inseam I’m shocked at how well it fits me. I thought they were built for larger (longer😂) people. Thanks as always.
Great update. I'm feeling the cold weather blues myself. I think in general its great how you have the bike set up, like, you're doing what works for you. Thats the most important thing! I'm just jealous since the aftermarket for your ST is so much more robust than for my pan am. Looking forward to the next vid!
Beautiful ride. Love the pipes, and it really stands out! You are right as far as OEM mirrors go, i have AN mirrors, and honestly, stock mirrors perform better, but I decided to install AN last year just for the display. Thank you for the review n be safe out there.
I love the video, I'm really interested in the fairing and head lights. I had put fog light on mine. I've had mine for 1 year, and I thought I put mile until I saw ur video. Ur the 💣 thanks for the video.
Really good advice there Nice bike with some really good mods like the seat holds the base of your back like the wide bars and the frontlight upgrade like the indicators too ill definately look at reviews for this bike good vid im a bit thick i didnt see it 🤘
I'm glad this bike hasn't put you through what the Dyna did. I put the advan black ST fairing on my dyna, and I'm loving it so far. I do need to get a klockwerks though. Keep crushing miles!! 🤘🔥
its been so nice having a solid bike again. my dyna was great... until it wasn't lol! Klock is doing 25% off on Black Friday for a few hours. got an email about it yesterday - hit me up on IG I can send it to you if you want!
I had a Road King Classic which I loved. I am short like you, but things were fine. Then I bought a 2007 Dyna and then a 2010 Dyna and had a crate 210 motor installed. It was really fast and Dynas are lighter and for me easier to operate. So, I ended up selling the Road King and I miss it! I have a sheep skin on my seat and love that combo.
I would love to catch you on the road sometime and grab some food. That was like the best idea anyone could ever come up with cuz who doesnt love going for a rip and grabbing some grub??
I can't sell my bikes either 🤣😂 ..... the thought of it makes me anxious..love the bike and your videos, thanks for helping me get through these Michigan winters!
@ridetofood OMG!! Can't wait!! I love my state 💙 our roads are 🗑but the view makes up for it right? 😂 Hope we fed ya well! I would've FLIPPED if I saw you!!
Makes me miss my 2016 Dyna low rider s. Beautiful bike. Currently riding 2023 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S that is insanely fast but misses the vibes of the Dyna.
I run the Speed Kings mid bend bars on my softail and SK high bend on my Dyna . 31” wide I believe and the perfect amount of sweep. Worth having a look IMO.
I’m 5’4 and ride a road king special and I have that exact seat! It has lots of back support even without a backrest and puts me in a much better spot also. I tell everyone that asks not to let your stature scare you away from a bigger bike as long as you have some experience. You can make it fit you and I think being able to flat foot is a bit overrated. Get the balls of your feet down solid and you’re good! But yeah I’ll vouch for that seat also as a good all around daily rider!
Regarding suspension kit for ST, I would suggest you to have a look at Wilbers Nivomat,after the pillion rider has taken a seat, with or without luggage, the low-slung chassis pumps itself back up to the defined ride height after a few metres of riding.
I have 24k on my ST now and still loving it. I’m also waiting for spring. 😒Wish I lived in Florida so I can complain about it being in the 50s at night like Shadetree does. lol
@ That’s very true! Mississippi is the furthest south I’ve lived for any length of time. If you’re ever riding down I-55 you should stop by Como steakhouse in Como, MS. It’s magical! 🤤
Hey Staci as you know I ride the grey model. 22. I'm 6'3" i put boards on. But i do love your upgrades I have a bassani ive yet to put on rather than my screaming duels. I actually like the quiet of it The law dont bother me either. No noise.
Best walk around I've seen for the ST. Do you know about how much the suspension upgrade will run? Also, I might have missed it but are you also considering upgrading the brakes? Anyway, thanks for the great video!
Love your videos and enjoy the information, scenery on your trips, was wondering what tires you run and the mileage you get on them. Newer bike are nice but I’ll keep riding my 06 road king 😊
I have had many motorcycles. I love my LRST. It's just flat out fun. I'm 6', so I had to make some adjustments, but I think I'm there. I have ADV bikes as well. What are you planning on getting? I have the Pan Am and The Ducati Desert X. Desert X for the off road win! BTW, you are insanely cute! Cheers!
I explained that in the first overview video as well as in the blog that’s mentioned at the very beginning of the video. It’s linked in the video description and in the cards 🤙
I could be wrong (it's happened more than once) but isn't the thumbnail of the Advan Black Lower Leg Fairing For Harley 2018+ Softail Low Rider S/ ST show a Bung King style crashbar installed. Either so happy for you that you are still enjoying the bike and Happy Thanksgiving 💯✌🤟🤘
Someone else already addressed this: it’s because they are coming out with their own crash bar soon that works with the fairing. That’s what has been shown in their marketing footy!
You are literally my inspiration to start motovlogging. How many miles did you put on your dyna before its first big maintenance? I’ve done all the maintenance myself so far but I want to be prepared financially if I have to take it to a shop during a cross country. I have a 2017 Dyna Low Rider. I might just get a Lowrider ST thanks to your video or a RGS depending on what my goals are later on down the road but I’m waiting to purchase a house for now.
I do maintenance at every scheduled maintenance interval and every dealership sets their own hourly rates for service so just be prepared to drop at least $1,000 if something goes wrong and you can’t fix it yourself lol! Some routine services are like $400 others are much more. Sucks but it is what it is! I feel ya on the house. My mortgage lender says no more “big” motorcycle purchases until the keys are in my hand sometime next year! Good luck!!!
Nice video pretty lady. I will admit I don’t really like cruisers but I do like your bike, largely because of the looks. You did a great job with it. I can see you switching over to an adventure bike though. Any one in mind? Likely a HD Pan America …?
I'm 5 ft 2 inches tall running the Harley up front seat wondering if the LePera seat adds any addition width between the legs? Dont want to sacrifice any ground clearance...thanks!
Was the gel in your seat medical grade? I had my 2014 Street Glide reworked to move me back a few inches I also added medical grade gel pads to rider and passenger spots. This has been such a great difference in comfort! The seat has been with me for the last 10 years and when I traded in the bike for my current bike, 21 Road King Special, part of the deal was that my seat came with me! 😂
If I had to take a wild guess, the brand that made it probably does not use medical grade gel in their seats lol. It was rock hard and absolutely horrible 😂😂😂
definitely will have to look up that seat for my mom.. she is a whole 5 foot 1 on a good day.. as for the music - agreed I like things in my helmet more.. two questions - what adventure moto are you looking at and will you be riding to a warm place for some food during the winter? keep up the fun vids.. cheers.
got a few bikes on the list im considering but that's a story for another time! might make a flight south to warmer weather in a few months but for now I have plenty of videos to edit. theres stuff I filmed in 2022 I havent edit yet lol
If the dealership had voided my warranty over a mild ECM tune-I would tell anyone who would listen to take your business elsewhere. When I was going to the dealerships they never pulled anything like that on me. In fact I bought a tuner back from a dealership back in the day when SE was making good products😂
@@ridetofoodI think the dealership voiding your warranty is a video I would watch- that burns me up- if you make a video make sure to give us a hint who the dealership is…
Daaaam Staci , I never knew you were as short as me and has a smaller insane there as the Haey world calls it, hahhaha. I honestly thought you were like 6'4 "or something like that. But congrats on your miles and all the great riding you've been doing and videos as well. ❤ I really love Roadglide Special as well.
Mirroring your comment on not liking a heavier bike... I feel the same way .. I rented a 2023 street glide with a touring pack out in LA in December , put 400 miles on it and did not feel comfortable with the weight.. I like the Lowrider S better. Different strokes for different folks.
I wouldn’t say the weight bothers me as much as the general size. I just don’t like feeling like I’m controlling a big ol boat at all times 😂 different strokes for different folks like you said, though!!!
Is that the Rokform magnetic car dash mount you're using on your tank ? Magnetic Freakmount didnt work for me. Magnet held but phone slowly slid out of the clamps
Great video however I have one question for you. Talking about upgrading the front suspension and I do understand that, however have you considered that the suspension may still be fine and it’s the fork oil that may have lost its ability to work after 30 odd thousand miles in eighteen months? Maybe change the fork oil to start with and see whether you get back your suspension as it was when you started. Maybe you have already done that.
I want the advent black lowers but I'm waiting for them I talked to a guy not too long ago that works for Advan Black and they are currently designing a crash bar for it and then I'm going to pull the trigger
Just read a really good review from motorcycle news in england a lady rider reviewed and described the lowrider as entertaining she didnt like the seat so she had an H-D sundowner seat fitted so it pushed seating postion forward she loved the bike and happily rode for hours at a time she loved the power and smoothness of the engine And done a bout 10,000 miles its good on twisty roads she loved the torque around the tight corners in cornwall she loved it anyway ive looked at prices at around £17,000
I’m also 5’4 30 in inseam! I love my Low Rider ST! It’s a perfect fit for short people.
Agree. I’m same height. I got the kodlin lowering kit as well and it feels so much better but my Le Pera kickflip upfront is so damn wide I’m now on the balls of my feet. Thinking of swapping seats for the Harley 2-up upfront but I love the look of the Le Pera I might just stick w it. I just want to be more flat footed so I can back my bike up to my parking spot and when I also want to take my son out for rides.

Agreed! It was definitely a solid (and very thought out) purchase! Thanks as always, Wayne!

Love the kitties, I’m picking up my st today, new tank and brake line recall took a month, I have had 7 Harley’s over the years love the St the most, You must ride to food with zero calories, Your looking lean these days Staci, Your videos are my Top 3, love the scenery and it is easy listening to you describe each, You Rock and so does Waylon !
Leaning out is simple math: you must burn more calories than you consume. 😉🏋🏼♀️
@@ridetofoodthat’s so true! It amazes me how many people can’t understand this simple concept! 😂
@@ridetofood 💯 counting and managing those numbers, the food you feature always looks top notch and getting to the destination is the best
You look amazing and so does Waylon. I too am a 5’4” rider and your tips and products help me so much! I want to upgrade to an ST at some point.
Glad it's been helpful!! The ST is great. Definitely one of my favorites in the entire H-D lineup
Knocked Loose! 🤟🏻
I love your bike, I have a Softail now and love the way I sit in it. It's definitely my favorite frame. Maybe I'll eventually upgrade to the ST.
Love your videos, always my fav to watch!
😎🤘
1st time watching your videos, you are a awesome host / narrator.
Your explanations are spot on and you seem to have the experience and knowledge to back everything up.
There are influencers that speak to fast or what’s worst, they speak too slow and use slang, that annoys me.
I’m now a fan / follower of you.
Happy Thanksgiving. 👍
Thanks! I’ve worked in the motorcycle industry for 15 years so I guess you can say I know a couple things and stuff. 😎
@
So you’ve worked in the industry for 15 years ???
You must have started when you were 10 years old ?
That was only meant as a compliment 😊

Prolly a pelican case as a “tour pack” like a few others have done!
I love my Saddlemen 3400. It’s been with me for thousands of trouble free miles but I wish it was about 15% bigger. Great review

thats what l love about the Harleys... so easy to change things to make the bike fit ya.......l miss my cat.. great Vid mate.. cheers
New subscriber! I just wanted to say I love your positivity! Really professional video quality and editing. Glad I found your channel.
Rad! Thank you!
Thirty two thousand miles. Congratulations! You seem to know what you want and you manage to get out and about a lot. Brilliant. Enjoy.
Yeah my lady brain does know a thing or two about motorcycles 🤣🤘

Yes! It's a new RUclips feature! :) Happy Holidays!
Looking forward to seeing what's next!
We take over the world, duh!
The fact that you feel the need to explain there's cats, is glorious! CATS FOR LIFE! GREAT video! :)
If I didn’t, I would get so many comments about them. 😂

Staci, have a great holiday season. Great work on 2024
thank you! you as well. cheers!
Nice update on Waylon, you weren't kidding about the distracting kitty, was busy watching the them while you were talking 🤣
lol!!
I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts after you’ve upgraded the suspension!
Really good advice there
Nice bike with some really good mods like the seat holds the base of your back like the wide bars and the frontlight upgrade like the indicators too ill definately look at reviews for this bike good vid im a bit thick i didnt see it 🤘
🤘
I was so close to getting the low rider st but chose the road glide first. This bike is definitely next!
I am 5’10. I went with the Indian Larry BK Brawler bars. They are like 26” wide I believe. I love them
Rad!!
Thanks for the video and Happy Thanksgiving to you
Congrats I have a black 2022 FXLRST, and w love it . Your right the stock mirrors are the best in my opinion
Brakes rotors look sick on the bike. Just added those to my list
Hell yeah 🤘
I'm glad this bike hasn't put you through what the Dyna did.
I put the advan black ST fairing on my dyna, and I'm loving it so far. I do need to get a klockwerks though.
Keep crushing miles!! 🤘🔥
its been so nice having a solid bike again. my dyna was great... until it wasn't lol! Klock is doing 25% off on Black Friday for a few hours. got an email about it yesterday - hit me up on IG I can send it to you if you want!

Agreed on the flat footed comment! I’m actually going to put taller rear suspension on my ST lol! Stoked you love your LePera!!
@ good call on the suspension. Go as tall as you can without being unstable. No replacement for shock travel length as far as getting a good ride!
dang! 30k thats sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the soft lowers, run the crash bars and hiway pegs
Glad you know what makes ya happy!
Regarding suspension kit for ST, I would suggest you to have a look at Wilbers Nivomat,after the pillion rider has taken a seat, with or without luggage, the low-slung chassis pumps itself back up to the defined ride height after a few metres of riding.
interesting! I dont think that's available in the USA. I haven't heard of that brand before!
New today to your channel love what I see I love the way you go through things PS I like Cats too lol see you on the next one
Hahahaha cats are rad! Welcome aboard! 🤙
I have 24k on my ST now and still loving it. I’m also waiting for spring. 😒Wish I lived in Florida so I can complain about it being in the 50s at night like Shadetree does. lol
haha rad! I definitely don't miss the humidity of the south, though. even in the winter!
@ That’s very true! Mississippi is the furthest south I’ve lived for any length of time. If you’re ever riding down I-55 you should stop by Como steakhouse in Como, MS. It’s magical! 🤤
Hey Staci as you know I ride the grey model. 22. I'm 6'3" i put boards on. But i do love your upgrades
I have a bassani ive yet to put on rather than my screaming duels. I actually like the quiet of it
The law dont bother me either. No noise.
Rad!
Hi Staci! Great review of your bike. Always enjoy your videos. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks Jim! Happy thanksgiving!
Love your videos and keep riding ✌🏽
Thank you! I've got no plans on stopping!
Nice to hear from an actual rider
Thanks!
Best walk around I've seen for the ST. Do you know about how much the suspension upgrade will run? Also, I might have missed it but are you also considering upgrading the brakes? Anyway, thanks for the great video!
I haven’t looked at pricing for everything to be honest. The brakes have already been upgraded just not the calipers
Not big on food anymore, but i respect your ride’n miles n 2 years so i subscribed.Go fast Don’t Die…
Food is sort of one of the three necessities you need in order to survive bud 😂
Check out the standard sport glide bars they seem to bend in like your looking for.
i've got some on my radar thank you!
Like the lowrider st that thrashing did video olins for front end way to go if you got the funds for it good luck
That’s a little fancier of a set up than I’m going for 😂👍
Love your videos and enjoy the information, scenery on your trips, was wondering what tires you run and the mileage you get on them. Newer bike are nice but I’ll keep riding my 06 road king 😊

What about an oil filter relocation kit? Less mess when changing the oil...
What? 😂
Great Video. Bike is an all around weapon. FXDLS brooklyn has lowers with bungking crashbars si i guess theres a way to make them work. Cheers
Yes there are multiple brands of lowers available on the market (I said that in the video lol)
Enjoy these videos in the mix with travel/camping. I read the blog post on the Royal Enfield. Do you have any plans to put a video together?
I debated it but at this point I don’t know if I will. I would be reading directly off my blog notes lol
I have had many motorcycles. I love my LRST. It's just flat out fun. I'm 6', so I had to make some adjustments, but I think I'm there. I have ADV bikes as well. What are you planning on getting? I have the Pan Am and The Ducati Desert X. Desert X for the off road win! BTW, you are insanely cute! Cheers!
I’ll be talking about the ADV stuff in the future. 🤘 stoked you’re enjoying your ST!
Nice video keep up the great work Ride To Food
🤘
Have you thought of a wraparound front fender that’ll help eliminate trash and grime being thrown on the engine area. I’m looking into it for my ST.
Nah I just wash my bike when it’s dirty lol
Yessss I saw Knocked loose in October. Oh yeah… the bike is also sick. 😂
does this mean we have matching tour shirts?!?!?! haha!
@ haha I have a couple older ones and a hoodie but not THAT one
Hahaha rad. I saw them recently too and was pretty impressed. They put on a solid show! 💪😤
Rad build🤙🏻
Thank you! 🤙
Glad I ran into your channel 👍
Woooo! Thank you!
Your rotors are so sick, please explain that set up
I explained that in the first overview video as well as in the blog that’s mentioned at the very beginning of the video. It’s linked in the video description and in the cards 🤙
I could be wrong (it's happened more than once) but isn't the thumbnail of the Advan Black Lower Leg Fairing For Harley 2018+ Softail Low Rider S/ ST show a Bung King style crashbar installed. Either so happy for you that you are still enjoying the bike and Happy Thanksgiving 💯✌🤟🤘
Someone else already addressed this: it’s because they are coming out with their own crash bar soon that works with the fairing. That’s what has been shown in their marketing footy!
@@ridetofood Then we have to declare a charge of shenanigans😁
The season never ends
When there’s salt and snow on the roads it does 👍
I have to park outside and keep them covered, so when they throw salt l am done...going to be a long winter @ridetofood
You are literally my inspiration to start motovlogging. How many miles did you put on your dyna before its first big maintenance? I’ve done all the maintenance myself so far but I want to be prepared financially if I have to take it to a shop during a cross country. I have a 2017 Dyna Low Rider. I might just get a Lowrider ST thanks to your video or a RGS depending on what my goals are later on down the road but I’m waiting to purchase a house for now.
I do maintenance at every scheduled maintenance interval and every dealership sets their own hourly rates for service so just be prepared to drop at least $1,000 if something goes wrong and you can’t fix it yourself lol! Some routine services are like $400 others are much more. Sucks but it is what it is!
I feel ya on the house. My mortgage lender says no more “big” motorcycle purchases until the keys are in my hand sometime next year! Good luck!!!
@@ridetofood Thank you so much! Can't wait to see your next vid!!
I like your honesty. 👍👍
I’m pretty good at it. 😂🤘
Bonjour de France,très bonne vidéo et Bonn continuation. Good luck
Nice video pretty lady. I will admit I don’t really like cruisers but I do like your bike, largely because of the looks. You did a great job with it. I can see you switching over to an adventure bike though. Any one in mind? Likely a HD Pan America …?
there's a few in mind for sure!
nice! and the bike looks good too!
🤘🏍️💨
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🎉 are those silencer pipes acid edge'd to look brown 🟤 or Copper
There’s nothing silent about this exhaust lol it’s stainless and reacts to heat
I'm 5 ft 2 inches tall running the Harley up front seat wondering if the LePera seat adds any addition width between the legs? Dont want to sacrifice any ground clearance...thanks!
I’m not sure. You’d have to do some googling to check seat measurements of each 😊
Love J&P
Was the gel in your seat medical grade? I had my 2014 Street Glide reworked to move me back a few inches I also added medical grade gel pads to rider and passenger spots. This has been such a great difference in comfort! The seat has been with me for the last 10 years and when I traded in the bike for my current bike, 21 Road King Special, part of the deal was that my seat came with me! 😂
If I had to take a wild guess, the brand that made it probably does not use medical grade gel in their seats lol. It was rock hard and absolutely horrible 😂😂😂
Great video
definitely will have to look up that seat for my mom.. she is a whole 5 foot 1 on a good day.. as for the music - agreed I like things in my helmet more.. two questions - what adventure moto are you looking at and will you be riding to a warm place for some food during the winter? keep up the fun vids.. cheers.
got a few bikes on the list im considering but that's a story for another time! might make a flight south to warmer weather in a few months but for now I have plenty of videos to edit. theres stuff I filmed in 2022 I havent edit yet lol
@ridetofood that's awesome. Either way lookin fwd to which one you choose. and have fun editing. 👍 cheers
Nice video, as always! Thanks 🤘
Thank you! 🤘
After 30k miles, fresh fork oil is most likely to solve your front end issues. Just a thought.
Happy Thanksgiving & thanks for sharing.
I hate to repeat myself but as previously mentioned in the video….if I’m gonna tear open the front end I might as well send it and upgrade 😂👍
What rokform phone mount is it that you have on your tank? Can’t figure out which one it is on their website. Thanks!
The mount is made by 31 state with a Rokform dampener built in. I have it linked in the blog I mentioned 🤘
If the dealership had voided my warranty over a mild ECM tune-I would tell anyone who would listen to take your business elsewhere. When I was going to the dealerships they never pulled anything like that on me. In fact I bought a tuner back from a dealership back in the day when SE was making good products😂
I simply just stopped going to that dealership and now go elsewhere. Same way I've done things for 15+ years.
@@ridetofoodI think the dealership voiding your warranty is a video I would watch- that burns me up- if you make a video make sure to give us a hint who the dealership is…
this is a no-drama channel. won't be wasting my time with that!
nice build !
Thank ya! 🤙
Daaaam Staci , I never knew you were as short as me and has a smaller insane there as the Haey world calls it, hahhaha. I honestly thought you were like 6'4 "or something like that. But congrats on your miles and all the great riding you've been doing and videos as well. ❤ I really love Roadglide Special as well.
I’ve been told “you look like you do tall people things” in the past but I’ve never been told I took like I’m 6’+ 😂🤘
What brand are the pants that you have on in the video? Thank you
Atwyld Chinos!
I think FXDLS Brooklyn found some lowers for his ST that work with a crash bar 👀
Yes I’m aware of those lol!
Mirroring your comment on not liking a heavier bike... I feel the same way .. I rented a 2023 street glide with a touring pack out in LA in December , put 400 miles on it and did not feel comfortable with the weight.. I like the Lowrider S better. Different strokes for different folks.
I wouldn’t say the weight bothers me as much as the general size. I just don’t like feeling like I’m controlling a big ol boat at all times 😂 different strokes for different folks like you said, though!!!
Gp suspension. Cory and brisa are amazing. Ohlins is my second choice
Is that the Rokform magnetic car dash mount you're using on your tank ? Magnetic Freakmount didnt work for me. Magnet held but phone slowly slid out of the clamps
I explained exactly what mount it was in the video if you paid attention 😉
Happy Thanksgiving Staci.
You too Dave!!
Great video however I have one question for you. Talking about upgrading the front suspension and I do understand that, however have you considered that the suspension may still be fine and it’s the fork oil that may have lost its ability to work after 30 odd thousand miles in eighteen months? Maybe change the fork oil to start with and see whether you get back your suspension as it was when you started. Maybe you have already done that.
Yes my lady brain understands fork oil and it needing to be changed. 😂😂😂
@@ridetofood lady brain? I wasn’t being rude. I know ppl that ride that don’t even consider changing fork oil and they are guys.
i love the look of arlen ness mirrors, sad they are not better
They still work lol just depends how picky you want to be
@@ridetofood i can live with the smaller size but not with more vibrating i think
stick to stock mirrors or you'll likely be disappointed with most aftermarket mirrors tbh!
Ur just so amazing ur very sweet thanks for all u do God bless u and ur family and happy holidays
Thank you!
I want the advent black lowers but I'm waiting for them I talked to a guy not too long ago that works for Advan Black and they are currently designing a crash bar for it and then I'm going to pull the trigger
That’s what someone else was sayin! Great intel 😎🤘
I’m interested to see which ADV bike you purchase!
Same! Got a few I’m debating between but more on that story at another point in time. 🤘
@ Exciting! More to look forward to. I’ll be tuned in 🤓🫡
Just read a really good review from motorcycle news in england a lady rider reviewed and described the lowrider as entertaining she didnt like the seat so she had an H-D sundowner seat fitted so it pushed seating postion forward she loved the bike and happily rode for hours at a time she loved the power and smoothness of the engine
And done a bout 10,000 miles its good on twisty roads she loved the torque around the tight corners in cornwall she loved it anyway ive looked at prices at around £17,000
I’m glad she found what worked best for her!
@ridetofood
I might buy one depending on price tho
