Being 6’4” myself I can honestly say you won’t know comfort until you do at least 12” bars on the bike. I have 14” and I love them! No upper back pain or shoulder pain ever
The best mod I made on my 2019 Street Glide Special was I replaced the rear shocks with Ohlins. I am 330 pounds and the 13 inch Ohlins have improved the ride immensely. I also added a taller windscreen which I got from Harley. The removable tour pak was a welcome addition as I have ridden from my home in Virginia Beach, Virginia to 49 of the 50 states (haven't done Hawaii) and being able to secure my helmet and extra gear in the tour pak is great. I enjoy your insights and common sense approach.
That's cool. But just make sure all the parts are after market. Buy nothing from Harley.
Spent 10k on a variety of upgrades. High flow intake. Woods performance cam. D&D two into one exhaust. Upgraded the 2017 M8 jugs to a 114. High compression pistons. Street Glide Special is now putting out 135 foot pounds of torgue coming on early and holding until hp reaches the peak. Yes, they voided the warranty but was only told that after I had purchased the extended warranty - 56k miles and everything has worked fantastic.
Too small imho
I'm a small biker at 5'6 160lb. First bike ever and didn't want to work up to my dream bike so I just went all in and bought myself a black out '21 Street glide special. Only mods I have is LED signals, klockwerks 4" deflector and Rinehart slip-ons. Other than that I'm pretty happy with the performance and looks of my Harley.
I am 6.1 and have a 2022 Low Rider S, replaced the stock seat with the tallboy seat from HD, replaced the exhaust with the 2-1 from Jekyl&Hide and also had a Don performance tune done.The exhaust is adjustable with a valve and has 3 positions from which I can choose the sound (electronically controlled with a button on the steering wheel).
Enjoy the channel! I’m on a 2023 Street Glide ST. I put 12” KST bars on my bike and an extended seat from Bad Boyz cycles in California. I’m 6’3 and the seat really helped my comfort. The riding position is great now! Thanks!
6’4?! Save some height for the rest of us! I’m 23 from England, saved up enough to do my unrestricted test soon then begins the saving for a road king 😎 love the videos and you and your bike are awesome and always a great watch👍
Cool video. If you can get your wife to sit on a Le Pera seat for an hour, you are a superhero my man. My wife draws the limit at 30 minutes each way. Cheers.
I have a 2008 street glide. I changed all the lights on the bike to led. That includes the headlight, fog lights, front and rear blinkers, the taillight and the lower rear fender light. The visibility for me and everyone on the roads around me is incredible. I have people all the time saying how much more visible my bike is compared to any of the stock bikes.
I had slip ons but went back to stock. I wanted a quieter ride for long distance rides.
I recently went with the Avon Cobra Chrome's front and rear. Mate! The difference over stock Dunlops is chalk and cheese. The turn in is so smooth. Grip on the exit is solid. Only other parameter is longevity, but still early days. I rate these hoops 9 outta 10 so far
Great videos! I added Fatbaggers 10" Meat hook style bars to my 2018 Street Glide Special and really like the neutral position they put my arms and hands in. Hands right at top of fairing. Ride safe.
Just bought my first Harley. Its a 2014 Street Glide. My last bike was a Victory Vegas Jackpot. There is nothing like a Harley. At 68 it makes me feel 35 again. My bike has upgraded options you spoke about. Not knowing what internal upgrades have been done
I live in Atlanta Georgia I'm on my first Harley I'm 53 I just start riding a couple of years ago I enjoy your content and your style of delivery very easy to follow I will continue to support your Channel
I rebuilt everything on my 76 XLH. Granted I got it for $2,000 in crates. Every nut and bolt has been in my hands. Hell, the only old parts left are the frame and myself, 😆 She's 47 year's old ,but she's a beaut!
I have a new Road King, I've changed the seat to a Le Pera Maverick which gives an extra 2 inches of leg room, installed Legend suspension front and rear, and added a breather so the gases from the rocker box breathers doesn't go back into the air cleaner. I haven't tampered with the engine or exhaust (I have another Harley with a loud exhaust and like having a quieter bike as well) as I find the M8 engine provided plenty of performance for the spirited riding I enjoy. The suspension upgrade made a huge improvement in the stability of the bike in corners and straights at speed so I found myself riding 10-20mph faster anyway.
What’s everybody over 6’ on this site haha. I have a 2014 Heritage softail, I upgraded my cam to a woods 222, and upgraded the oil pump cam plate with SS parts plus cam chain tensioners push rods and tappets. I pull 100.22 ft lads of torque. I have Reinhart exhaust love the bike the color is mysterious red with white walls. Closing in on 50K miles. I love the Fat boy in your other video. Stay safe
Great video! I’ve got a 20 RGS withe the 14 inch Factory 47 bars which I love. I’m 6’4” too and find the fit to be spot on. They go great with my extended reach road sofa from Saddleman. Now I feel like the bike fits me well. Can’t wait to see what other mods you make! Cheers!
