it is essential I agree, but man I would have gone for the shorty sissy bar and a smaller pad, it would do the job just fine, but this large tall backrest makes ur beautiful look out of proportion
Awesome content! I was interested in those flat pieces that covers the docking mount space...not sure what's it's called but you replaced it with the other docking hardware. Thanks
I was wondering why it was so hard to get the backrest off my road glide. Seems like the dealer installed the mounting bracket incorrectly. They also didn’t leave the extra washers. Sissy bar doesn’t lock in and the plastic cam piece looks like it’s cocked sideways. 🤦🏽♂️
I see were both from Michigan .Im in the southern part of the state , I ride a 19 street glide special .be cool to run across you some time , thanks for the good videos.
great content ! I have similar issue with 4 point docki g vs luggage rack and I may need to add washers to it...do you have the specification of the washer spacer？appreciated....
Thank you for the in depth video. Just ordered my sissy bar and mounting kit. I went with the ebay cheaper version tho lol. Sorry money’s tight right now lol
I really like the bar & shield emblem on your tank. I checked them out at the place you got them from. How do they hold up? I live in NY State and get caught in the rain so I wash my bike very regularly and then wax it also. How do the vinyl decals hold up to washing etc? Guessing you make sure not to wax over them. Wish I knew last year when I had the tank painted, I would have cleared over top. Thanks for any info on them.
Things that went wrong for me when attempting to install this myself. 1.) It was hotter than a pistol outside. 2.) I had to take out the pieces that were in the bike, prior to putting the docking station in. The bolts were tightened so incredibly hard I began stripping them while trying to remove them. Had to use a tool that destroyed the screw, but got the stripped screw out. 3.) The sissy bar didn't line up perfectly with the docking station. Meaning the hooks that snap on with the springs weren't latching on. Ultimately it is possible to do at home and if you know what you're doing, I agree, in theory it should be easy and can be a 20 min job. However, it's the little things that get you hung up you'll find.
I went to put my new aftermarket shocks on and guess what? The shock hardware is different from the stock shock hardware. So now i cannot use the bitch bar if i want my aftermarket shocks. Thankfully i was able to find a different brand of bitchbar made by BDD Custom that mount to the 4 point docking kit only. Now i can get rid of the Harley shocks and put on my RS-1 shocks
I thought so. I just put a set of paul yaffe 10" monkey bars on my 2020 road glide special in zephyr blue this past Saturday. I love them. And I used ya'll's install video to show me how. Thanks. It went pretty simple, did the whole thing in three hours. The thing I did different was I cut the sheath off the tbw wires and replaced it with heat shrink. It reduced the diameter to about a third of the factory diameter so it pulled right through.
@@DOOWORKMOTORSPORTS I live in Ohio and road yesterday and last year at this time I road and camped every night while ridding the entire Blue ridge parkway. Of course that's not far I'm way older than you, oh yeah probably about your dad's age. I've never trailed a bike anywhere and never would. It's the ride that makes the trip not the place. Besides you'd only be ridding in cold for a day. That's ok when your done with that bike I want to buy it. It might be old then but I'll have no miles.
Simple and clear… this is a what an install video should be. Thanks bro! Ride Free :)
Awesome thank you. Just got a road glide ST and needed to put the backrest, 2 up seat, and passenger pegs on so that my son could go on rides with me.
it is essential I agree, but man I would have gone for the shorty sissy bar and a smaller pad, it would do the job just fine, but this large tall backrest makes ur beautiful look out of proportion
Excellent. Thorough. Well done.
Sweet Bike! Thanks for the Video...very helpful.
What seat is on your bike? New to Harley, can you put a passenger on it?
What two up seat do you have on your 19'
Awesome content!
I was interested in those flat pieces that covers the docking mount space...not sure what's it's called but you replaced it with the other docking hardware. Thanks
What make of solo seat has your dad got on his RG.
CVO Seat from HD..

Are all the black pieces sold out?????
I just bought one kind sir where can I get this back rest
Can’t wait till daytona! See you down there!
Fosho!!

Thank you for the in depth video. Just ordered my sissy bar and mounting kit. I went with the ebay cheaper version tho lol. Sorry money’s tight right now lol
again about the washer spacers on the 4 point docking...is it 3/8" or 5/16"?? thanks alot!
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Great video. Do u prefer the thunderheader or the dnd. Doing a stage 2 on the bike and I see where u have one of each. Thanks
I like the look of the D&D better, however the thunder header sounds more aggressive and gives you more performance..
Did those magnetic caps come with the docking kit?
No, those were purchased separately from Harley.

They hold up great! I like them!
So what are the rear pegs for that you put the magnet cover on ?
They’re for a luggage rack behind the seat.
Is it normal for the shocks to be flipped. Both sides don’t match & I notice mine is the same.
I have the same issue on my 2019 FLTRXS. 52300258 doesn't fit with the right shock in the factory upside down position or flipped. I'm at a loss.
@@myrez9977 did you ever figure out what to do? Have the same issue.
@@KatelinDawn23 flipped the shock.
@@KatelinDawn23 and the mounting pin isn't completely round. You have to loosen the point and rotate it.
@@myrez9977 thanks, we were going to just flip it but just wanted to check
Great job on the instructions, since the instructions that come with the quick connect mounts totally suck
Will that back rest fit in the saddle bag?
Yes.
I was wondering what brand of solo seat is your Dad running on his RG?. I do enjoy your vids. Keep up the good work.

We are ready for cars and Harley’s and beer
Whats the hole is stock seat for? Sissy bar for driver?
That’s where the driver’s back rest goes
Wish I was going to Daytona

This Chanel is awesome !!!!
Best video, thanks
What size bars are those?
10" Paul Yaffe Monkey Bars.
What bars do you have on your road glide?
These bars are the 10" Paul Yaffe Monkey Bars.

@@DOOWORKMOTORSPORTS why is it called detachable, if its mounted solid behind shocks?
What kind of 2 up seat is that?
Factory Seat.
@@DOOWORKMOTORSPORTS Im sorry, I meant on the other bike in the video.
I also want to know!
It doesn't show how the mounting knobs go on.
You and your dad should have sat on the bike and demonstrate the seat rest 🤣
Yeah hard pass on that one haha No Nut to Butt here LMAO
Bro i’m not hating i actually love the videos and i’m from Mi also but you say “as you can see” way to much. As you can see. Lol
Honestly, quality of the backrest pad is garbage. I had to redone it again. It's all junk made in China with HD logo
OE Harley is starting to become just as bad quality as the “Chinese stuff” now a days…
I will never understand why would you trailer the best over the road bikes. They're made for travel you know.
Well when you live in Mi, and it's below freezing temps, and there's snow on the ground, it's kind of hard to ride to Daytona lol

@@davidfellows6250 well, we found the douche canoe for this thread.
What bars are those on your Father's Road Glide?
