@The Gallows we have almost doubled in 18 months. It's tough to make time for vids, so new releases are slow...but we are getting it done. Thanks for the kind words - BD
Left only. Right has spanner preload adjustment. My mind doesn't like things like that... I like concentricity and squareness, lol. But it works amazingly well for this config.
Nice bike and video. However, when you talk about compression adjustments, do you mean spring preload or compression damping? It was difficult for me to make out, and I failed to notice how much the remote spring adjuster would alter the amount of preload - if we were indeed shown the preload adjuster.
The hydraulic preload adjuster is pointed out at 12:39 which leads into discussion of almost 1/2 inch spring preload/compression adjustment. The actual amount of adjustment, in lbs./netwons, varies depending upon the spring used for a particular model application. To make dampening adjustments simple, the compression dampening and rebound dampening circuits are interconnected... so "SOFT" means less rebound and less compression and "HARD" means more of both. After 600 miles, in varings road conditions and configurations in South Dakota last week. I can tell you that Bitubo's base settings are spot on and the bike handles the best it ever has, with or without luggage etc... My wife confirmed that they were indeed the best shocks she had ever ridden on. That says a bunch as this bike is our "test mule" and has had close to a dozen sets installed since purchased in 2013. More info can be found here: bit.ly/3xXljX0
Lol..."sportbike guy's". I used to be the same way, but I can tell you this bike has more miles on it than all of my sportbikes combined and the only maintenance has been fluids and tires. I rode it to sturgis in 2015 and would have kept going to the west coast if I wasn't committed to working the event. It's shown itself to be bulletproof, fires up every time and doesn't leak. It's not your dads ol shovelhead, that's for sure.
@@BrockDavidson in 1967 I had the first electric starting Sportster in Bridgeport Connecticut, turned it in to a drag bike built by Tom Rudd at the original Drag Specialties in Minneapolis Minnesota had a lot of fun with it for a year then got back into boat racing LOL good stuff thanks for posting...
Nice factory front master:/ Your hard-core brake lines , huge 330 mm floating discs, and Brembo mono block calibers, & hard-core brake pads, are leaving so much on the table Brock. I promise you! if you put on a Brembo RCS 19, or the Beringer unit with its own integrated brake reservoir, you’ll be blown away with what your brake package “should” be doing! I’m not trying to be a smart ass bro! I’m telling you because I have the same set up. Forks- everything dude! The OE factory master is a cast piece of shit. The higher quality Master offers a larger bore, larger piston, CNC precision machining. You’ll be able to put masses amounts of controlled brake pressure to that beautiful hardware you have. As a matter fact, if it wasn’t for the sheer mass of my Harley, it almost stops as brilliant as my 2023 Ducati V4R! I’m not trying to be a dick. This is truth son! If I had to guesstimate how much you’re leaving on the table in breaking force in the dry, I would say it’s as high as 40%. This is no shit. I promise you! I go to so many shows and see almost every high dollar bike (such as yours) miss the master cylinder! They almost all fuck this up! Thank me later👍 Yes you will.
I have the Brembo Master cylinders and I know they work much better than OEM. I just don't have the time to figure out the ability to make my brake lights work... I'll get to them eventually. The bike will damn near do a stoppie now, so it's not high on my list.

The adjustments are great, most people dont change it as it is a pita.

Bad ass bike. Baggers do 7's now. Crazy stuff!!
Love that twin cam engine on there, you know where the good stuff is at. Thanks for the great information.
What a beautiful Road Glide. With performance also 👌
It really is! It will never be fast...but it sure is fun!
Great video Brock, I made sure to pass it on. Keep up the good work and stay safe in your travels
Thanks, you too!
Beautiful bike, Sir! Well done!!! 👏
❤❤❤
great video Now I know about unsprung weight. total video helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Have you seen the old Katana? Dave has it back, he broke it down and rebuilt the entire bike from the frame up, it is of course spotless and beautiful
I have! Bike looks great 👍👍 Dave always makes sure of that.
That bike is just badass brock
An old sportbike racer needs a proper ride, don't you know ;)
Loved it
Brock, is that 22 click adjuster linked to both left and right shocks to make the spring preload adjustments to both shocks, or ONLY the Left shock?
Left only. Right has spanner preload adjustment. My mind doesn't like things like that... I like concentricity and squareness, lol. But it works amazingly well for this config.
Every time I look at my bike, I wish you made exhaust for the Suzuki M109r.

@@BrockDavidson Thank you for taking the time to clarifying, Brock!
Sweet
Good idea taking it in the trailer cuz there's a hell of a chance it won't make it without breaking down... 'Nuff said!!!...

Oh, sorry...not your dad's panhead, lol ;) Tom Rudd! Wow - hadn't heard that name in ages. Thanks for sharing :)
@@BrockDavidson I'm almost 81 years old it gets away from me sometimes LOL thanks for taking the time to get back to me...

You should let me build that engine brock
I have an S&S 143 sitting in a crate for it...just no time to install.
@@BrockDavidson I'd install it for you pro bono. Just DM me
duh, i read bituRbo...
Yea me to. Following Brock for a while this sounds perfectly plausible 😀 And who knows what he's up to with that other engine he mentions...
