Great video! thank you for sharing! The whole Boom Box thing just needs to be scrapped! but the guys that designed it probably still make money off of it. Why else would you keep something that hardly ever works and nobody can ever figure it out.

I got one of these doggles and works well except for one thing. When a call comes in it goes to the bike and not to my headset in helmet. How do I correct this?

Great video. I have a 2022 Harley-Davidson CVO Tri Glide. There is a lot of confusion out there about HD Cardo versus Sena. I called Harley Customer Support, and they stated only Sena works with the WHIM if you want stereo and all the functionalities. I went to the local Harley Dealer, and they had only one Sena 30K in stock, since HD in their wisdom stopped making HD Sena and regular Sena & Cardo won't work. He could not get it to pair/work and said Cardo Freecom 4x would. I exchange it and have the same problems you had 1) not in stereo, 2) could not communicate with passenger, 3) lots of static in the speakers. If I connected the Cardo directly to the Cardo iPhone app, it comes in stereo and sounds clear as can be into the 40mm JBL speakers. I asked HD Customer Support if HD was going to upgrade the software so that the Cardo would work with Boom GTS. You guessed it - they said no. I then issued a formal complaint that HD in their wisdom just stopped providing any good solution for all 2019 - 2024 owners that spent the $$ to buy a HD Motorcycle with Boom GTS & WHIM and wants a Bluetooth headset that works properly with it. I am no going back to the HD Dealer and hopefully they have a Sena 30k or 50S in stock that works.

Thanks for this info but I have a question. I did this set up but when a call comes in it goes thru the bike and the speakers on the bike. How can I get calls to come into the helmet

Hello, how do you program the 5 sec delay?? On the dongle Thx

Which adapter are you using that you can change the delay set up?

Try cleaning the contacts with a pencil erraser, then apply a very thin coat of dielectric grease found at any automotive parts store. This grease avoids humidity electrical contact issues. If that does not solve it, the issue maybe in the 30k unit.

Thanks for doing a review, you've invested time, patience and money into this and it's appreciated 👍. I have the Harley Davidson 30K which looks just like the later 50S. The issue I have consistently had with it being that it works great except for when it rains for a lengthy period during a ride. Once water gets near the contacts on the base it malfunctions and eventually stops working. I don' t use it any more as I bought the Harley Boom Audio No2 Helmet with built in Sena. This works reliably in any conditions. I have been casting an eye towards Cardo as they offer waterproof as being a feature. After your review I now know this will not work with my WHIM.

Awesome intro its very psychologically powerful as a speaker to do. Mini act Bravo!

The 50s will provide the same communication privacy you now have with your passenger. The additional benefit is you can set it up as a whole group communication on the mesh network if you want too.

I have the same trike as you. I have the WHIM and the Sena 20s Evo. I have the Sena paired to the bike, so I can talk to my passenger, listen to the radio & XM and hear the directions from the map. It is also paired to my phone. I do not have the Sena paired to other headsets. If I get the Sena 50S and pair it to other headsets, will they hear my conversation I have with my wife.

2017 Road Glide Special... I got a take off seat for an Ultra Low from the dealer for a fair price. I can't imagine anyone paying$400- $500 up for $20 worth of foam and vinyl or $1000 for a pair of Chinese Air Shocks to totally remove your suspension. Clearly more Dollars than sense. One would think Harley could be able to build bikes/seats for the average size person by now. Harley seems like a failing company these days. A lower center of gravity is better on almost any bike anyway.

I had the 50S Harley version. Rain got in and the unit stopped taking any charge. HD refunded my money as it was still under warranty. I just got a CARDO Packtalk Edge yesterday. I have the WHIM, it probably won't work 100% with the Whim+GTS, but I will go back to do what I did before when I didn't have the WHIM but had a Sena 50S (non-HD). Had an old iPhone with the glass cracked connected 24/7 that lived in my RGS .. only for maps/apple play purposes. I used the Jumper to trick the GTS for to get carplay. The SENA 50S (non-HD) was paired to my personal iPhone. I used for music, etc, chat with folks, sire, phone calls etc. Will probably do the same with the CARDO and may remove that WHIM. DOn't want to go back to the 50S and run the risk again of it getting wet.

So I do have a question and you’re absolutely right about the Bluetooth with a center app because I have to send a 50 S now. Have you run into issues with it being on Bluetooth versus being plugged in to the USB because I’ve been told that it’s either plugged into the USB or you have todisconnect the Bluetooth completely try to work properly. Have you found out to be the case as well? Great video by the way thank you for the information.

I find it absolutely asinine that after a century of motorcycle manufacturing, HD hasn't produced a charted table Re: rider height/inseam seating position for proper, safe reach and comfort. Jeez, what a bunch of laggards. It's not rocket science! Even more mortifying is that the Japanese haven't done it. I just bought a used Sportster and started looking because the seat is destroyed. ZIP, ZERO, NADA, NOTHING but "...well, that depends..." No it dosen't "that depends."

Paul don't be real weird... oops too fuckin late 😡

that intro was stupid as hell

The Sundowner set me up higher and forward on my street glide. Wasted my money. My ASR seat by Ciro is perfect. It moved me back and down so i flatfoot and the forward controls now feel perfect

Harley cop bikes are made for six footers. You can screw up the seat by removing it and sitting on the frame if you want. But the bike will not handle correctly (poor natural balance) if you are not sitting slightly ABOVE the tank mounting points. Look at any early original Harley and the seat is ABOVE the tank bottom. Then marketing got the bright idea to remove the seat so that little tiny people could ride a huge big bike somehow. In my experience nearly every Harley built since the 70s has the seat way too low and too far back to control the bike properly. And they say Harley riders can't handle their bikes? It's because the stupid seat the factory puts on them today. Seriously I have built seats for all my Harleys. It is always a problem they are too low and too far back nowadays. Ugh!

Hi Paul, are you still an HD owner?

Very good video

Thank you for the thoughtful video. The boots were the first lesson for me. Nice ride! Be and ride safe.

I have a 2006 electric glide I cant reach the kick stand to put it up even if i lift the foot board

Your volume is not high enough on video. I can hardly hear with volume turned up. Can't watch.

I need a low prowfile seat for my 2001 electra glide. Can't find one.

Great and comprehensive tips Paul.

lol have this problem with my 2003 elictra glide classic it's next to impossible for me without boots I did get a rear lowering kit however for me to get it where I want it I will bottom out on my fender when I hit a bump therefore I had to raise it back up 2 inches. My next thing I may do is get a different seat but that's costly for me but I may not have a choice

Great tips!

Really well done. I don't need height adjustment but the video was on time and interesting. Thx

I think it depends on the individuals comfort level. I watched a 5 ft blond lady probably weight 90 lbs riding a big Harley bagger and she handled it just find, she would keep her right foot on the brake at stops and put her left foot flat on the ground by shifting her butt just off to the left of the seat. I watched her do it over and over again. Obviously her comfort level was very high. I too am a bit short for my bagger. If i put both feet on the ground I'm tippy toeing. But if I keep my right foot on the brake and lean the bike slightly to the left at stops, I'm flat footed on the left. I'm not sure but I too may be offsetting my butt on the seat. It just takes practice until you can do it without thinking. I even do find when riding 2-up.

Good tips Paul, I got an inch high boots and got my stock seat of my RKS shaved from the sides and it made a tremendous difference.

two option not covered is there are two companies but one brand that I remember is the F.B.I. (Fat Baggers Inc) makes a seat drop kit. it changes the frame section under the seat. there is no major modifications done doing this as the frame of the touring bikes are sectional, this just swaps into the mid section. it will lower the seat about 2-3 inches (model of HD dependent). you will also get a different seat. which you can add foam and still be lower than stock. you will need different side covers but they have those available too and they will even match color to your bike if you want (extra cost of course). but if all you are wanting to do is adjust ride height. this is a single change solution for most people. no changes to suspension or foot wear required, and it doesnt change rake or trail for handling. they have a smart ride adjustable iRIDE by Thundermax. which will adjust ride height based on your speed and you can adjust these settings through a small LCD screen display. so you are lower at stops and low speeds and up higher as you gain speed driving down the road. they are a bit more pricy but way worth it, between both options you are looking at 4500-5000 of investment. but you are looking at upwards of 4.5-5 inches which is just crazy low. which makes getting on and off way easy too.

I’m short and I bought a 2016 road king brand new.. The dealer sold me a reach seat.. to was terrible, it’s a ball buster.. I have a back issue now so I need comfort for my back..I don’t want to give up riding, I need more foot on the ground to keep me riding.. We lowered the shocks to street glide shocks but still need more. I’m no longer allowed to wear heals on my boots.. I don’t want to give up my bike..I just want to ride comfortably as safely.. thanks for the video..

Very informative! Thank you! I am 5’3 on a 2010 Street Glide with a super reach seat, and I wear an H-D boot with a 1.5” heel. I am thinking about getting a boot with a 2” or 2.5” heel.

😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦

5.8 is it good for fatboy ride ?!

Thanks, I'll look into those.

I hear lower blocks screw up shocks -- is LA Chopper blocks different? I have been leery of blocks and looking at 12" shocks on Road King.Thanks

good point with the boots

Hi Paul What brand of boot is that?

Hi Paul Very helpful thank you mate

F. Grow. Lmao. I’m tring to get a seat for a 2001 heritage I’m 6,5 and need a back rest seems Harley builds bikes for little guys.

That was a lot of good tips. Thanks 👍

this was great, thanks paul. btw, how tall are you?

Hmm, pretty helpful for many, but seems you forgot to address the safe operation kickstand operation with lowering the bike

Nice video with some good tips, but every time you change the travel of the shock or the length of the shock it also effects the handling of the bike as it was designed by the factory...just something to think about, for example the lower the machine the less of a lean angle, and in a lot of cases it will also effect steering....

Hi Paul thank you for the information, in my case i am facing totally the opposite situation. what options do i have beside purchasing after market extended reach seats.

But how tall are you ???????
