How the Harley Woke Backlash Started & Where it's Going
Welcome to channel Gasolineros! ⛽ 💀
Recently we've seen a trending backlash against Harley Davidson with influencers such as Robbie Starbuck and UFC fighter Sean Strickland saying that the company has gone woke under the CEO Johan Zeitz. People aren't happy about the company moving towards electric motorcycles, employing DEI strategies and more.
This video discusses how the woke Harley scandal started, what Harley Davidson is doing to manage (or fight back against) the woke backlash, and what will the future strategy for the brand be around this topic. Also, how Harley can gain new customers while keeping biker culture alive and not selling out to marketing trends.

Why It's Vital to DynoJet Tune Your Harley...
Переглядів 5721 день тому
This week I took my Harley Davidson Low Rider S to the DynoJet to get tuned... and wow.. what a difference it made. Some say you don't need a @DynojetResearch tune if you've only added slip-on mufflers, but Harley bikes run lean the from factory and are not optimal from stock. Now, if you have modifications on the bike, there's even more reason to make sure the airflow and fuel intake are corre...

How to Convert a Low Rider S into a Low Rider ST
Yea, it is just not there in quality enough to get it yet. I am seeing several youtubers showing the material is not quite as thick and study as they would like. I do like the easy install approach they provide. And the looks is amazing. But, just not quite there yet for me.
My faring cracked within the first 6 months over ownership. They did send me a replacement without any fuss or fight! Still disappointed that it broke so quickly, and hoping the second one lasts longer than 6 months!
"hagale guevon" that got you a subscriber. 🤣🤣 Colombian here, living in California. How do you like Colombia?
I have this fairing from advan. Its absolutely junk
Great channel mate! I like your review of meteor 350, I owe one myself in UK and often ride with mates on Harleys and Triumphs. Obviously I can't keep up with them on motorways but on back roads this bike is amazing. Also a lot of my mates said this bike is completely different experience from their big v twins but keep asking to take it for a spin and love it. I think it takes you back to this raw biking experience where you don't have much power and electronics at your disposal like back in the 50's!
They would look ok if they didn’t say Viking in huge letters in the center of the bag. Fail
Yep, totally agree. I would take it off but think it’ll ruin the paint too much.
Globalists are destroying every inch of Western Culture. Look how your nation backs the invaders over natural born citizens. HD is finished until they remove that German and the agenda of the board. I'm one that's bought several new HD's over the years, ordered parts for even more. I'm done.
Sack the ceo find a younger american
Yep, totally agree. And one who gets the culture.
Nice build n money well spent!
Thanks man much appreciated 💀🤘🏻
Excellent video ❤
Thanks guys 🤘🏻💀
It's so slow you don't need to wear proper protective bike gear.
being from a third world country, this 350 cc bike has been a dream bike for me. it's heartbreaking to have it called "little" every single minute😂😂😂. i can't fathom to comprehend the harley you are talking about😂. i probably won't be able to afford it with 10 years of my life savings😂. nice video though. navigation and commentary is entertaining. keep it up, bro🎉
Welcome to the channel bro and thanks for the great feedback✌I love the Meteor 350! From now on then I'll call it "lighter" instead of smaller! 😅👊
I've got a slightly older model. It is my 'go to' bike for a lot of trips. I've ridden for years and this is my first Ducati and I love it. Mine has a number of upgrades, including saddle bags which will be replaced with external fuel tanks when I go across Morocco later this year. I liked your content, it was the ideal length and well produced. Thanks
@@Mark-yz8eh Hi Mark welcome to the channel and thank you for your kind words. Yes, the bike is awesome and surprisingly, I liked it better than the Triumph scrambler. Fuel tanks and Morocco… sounds incredible. Would love to see a video of that! ✌🏻
Where is dudu?
What gloves are ypu wearing bro??
They are Rev'it MONSTER 3 gloves. Expensive but worth it 😈
UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE: The plastic bushings I had made have also now broken. So maybe it's a design flaw on the fairing. Advanblack have just told me they will be sending two sets of replacement bushings (the same ones). So let's see if this keeps happening or not.
its very normal
The answer is... no. Yet, the 350 is excellent for small town run abouts. I've moded my 350 about as far as you can go, but there's a speed limiter that can be by passed. Yet, I feel the 350 is not stable enough for 88 mph. Plus, you'll travel back in time if you go faster. 😅
Haha sounds excellent! Agreed... I personally wouldn't want to go 88mph on it🤣🤝
88mph in this is crazy, the highest I do is 75
Passing another bike in HIS lane . Not a good plan .
Totally agree! This is how they ride in Colombia.
In the us, we would just buy the oem bushings from Harley
I have changed out all bushings to the hd ones when i did the install! AND still replaced 2 of the hd ones since!
Damn! Good to know. Which ones did you replace? The ones at the front keep going on mine.
We need 450cc aircooled bike with at least 30hp from RE, that way we will get all goodies from old Himalayan withouth top speed drawback.
Btw, nice mashine you have. Kudos.
That would be awesome. I’ve never ridden the Himalayan and will be doing a video with it in a week or so. I hear great things about it. Watch this space!
The Guerrilla is 450cc I think 40hp like the Triumph Speed.
@@NoFrictionZone yea but it's liquid cooled. There is fan base, myself including, in air-cooled Himalayan, and only downside is that cruising speed isn't 130km/h.
Good point . help others…Can you tell us where to get these custom ones you made? Looks really good 👍🏻
So these bushings were made by some guy who is a contact of the mechanic at the dealer. So it’s not from an official outlet. However, someone has commented here that HD sell original ones that are a mix of metal and rubber (which sounds great). I’ll try to find the link for them and pin it to a comment on the video. Advanblack will also send replacements if you ask them. 👍🏻
I've been checking out reviews on the royal.enfield 350's alot. Many claim the engine takes on a new life after its broken in.
I was surprised by the power tbh! 👍🏻
The "tripper thing" is commonly known as a GPS mate.
yeah ya got me there mate lol
It's not a proper GPS; it just connects to Google Maps on your phone.
@@IndigoJo Yeah, sorry about that. I looked at some other videos later and found that out. My bad.
I own a meteor in Stellar Black, its a 5 speed bike and the engine can take somse revs. Its good uphill even with a pillion! Get one you wont be dissapointed. Ive done highway riding even with a pillion but the bike shines on secondary roads. Btw Colombia looks like bikers paradise, cheers mate!
It's a great bike for sure. Though 2UP on the highway must've been a little hairy lol. Medellin in particular really is rider heaven... perfect roads, great weather and lots of freedom. Only issue is wet season and kamikaze drivers. Welcome to the channel! ✌
Get used to it, bikes are like mosquitos here
Its GTA vice City like ride
LOL it is exactly like riding in a GTA game. There's rules... but there's no rules. ✌
Nice mods, but you got to get a 2 into 1 pipes to complete the mod/look
Welcome to the channel! Was thinking of a 2-1 Bassani with front sweeping headers.. but.. everyone does it. So I'm thinking I'll just keep the slip-ons (for now). Next stop will be the Dyno tune to remove the constant engine fault light. 👹
12:150 driver is understandably confused because he has got motorcyclists passing on the left and the right.
Welcome to Medellin… it’s complete chaos! Never a dull moment 😂❤️
Youre better off buying the same fairing off Ali Express. In either case, you would need to invest in quality bushings for the winshield. The vivid black paint finish and brackets are excellent. The fairing is lighter than HD OEM which is a plus for weight saving however being light, it also shakes a little bit more than the OEM.
Welcome to the channel. I had no idea it was available from Ali Express (surely it’s worse quality?). Yep agree with all you’ve said there 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing the video and your feedbacks. We value all feedbacks and opinions and taking them to make better products. That being said, we will be working to enhance the quality of the bushings =)
You’re welcome and thanks for acknowledging the issue. ✌🏻 Two questions for you guys so we can update the community here: 1. Will you send out higher quality replacement bushings if requested? 2. Have the bushings been updated/improved recently (or have they always been the same)?
Shit china parts what did you think you were buying
my tripper works amazing on my meteor :)
Welcome to the channel and good to know it works. Hmmm I shall try again. Maybe it needed a reset lol!
I bought mine directly from Harley. Their grommets have a metal washer inside of them.
Welcome to the channel. Excellent! Do you have a link? Would be great to post that for the community. Cheers!
@@GasolineroMoto I can not find a link , I had to directly order from My Harley dealer.
The Meteor is my first bike, after I got the (bike)-driving licence at the age of 65 😊 just two years ago. So my bike experience is limited. However, I am very happy with it and don't mind longer trips. But I agree, it's hopeless on motorways. Especially here in Germany without speedlimits it can be downright frightning.
Welcome to the channel and congrats on starting your riding journey at 65! Sounds great. There are comments here that also confirm it's good to go for camping trips etc. Those highways in Germany though with this bike are a HELL NO lol. I shall be doing a video on the Royal Enfield Himalayan next week. Stay tuned!
My problem is the plastic is chip I broke the bracket just lossing it up
Welcome to the channel! Did you get a replacement part and fix the issue?
@@GasolineroMoto yes they sending me a new fairing to solve the problem
@@carlogamilla1128 Excellent! One thing you can't fault is their customer service; it's great. 🤝
I like the street glide looks much better but probably go with the road glide for the handle bars. Don't want to spend 2 grand upgrading the bars on a new bike.
Hey Matt, welcome to the channel. Totally agree, the bar position is much better and imo it's good to go out of the box!
I agree the fairing is awesome! My bushings were shit too and cracked all over.
Yeah, they suck. Did you get replacements? If you contact them, they will replace them apparently.
My Advanblack ST fairing didnt come with any bushings for the windshield. I had to buy them from amazon cause i didnt want to wait for them to send them. The bigger problem that i have is a constant squeaking while riding from the inner and outer fairing pieces rubbing together. Soooo annoying
Hey Thomas, that sucks that they didn't even include the bushings WTF. The new bushings I had made are hard plastic and they are also now breaking lol. I'm going to contact Advanblack and see if they'll send me replacements. Stay tuned.
Mine rattles pretty bad it’s the most disappointing thing about it
Looks good! Those saddlebags are nice!
Thanks hermano and welcome to the channel! Those are Viking quick detach bags and yes, they are great. I'll be doing a review video on them in the next couple weeks. Stay tuned!
I just found your channel, great content! Waiting for new videos on Royal Enfield bikes. Greetings from Bogotá 👍
Gracias Julián! Welcome to the channel! There will be more videos on Royal Enfield for sure hermano 🤘🏻
I own a 2022 meteor 350 and as you said i love it as a daily rider. I do use it for small camping trips (within 300 ish miles). I will say you are 100% right about any interstate the bike will not do well. Especially since the interstate near me is 80 mph. So i ride secondary roads 55-65 mph. Even at 65 mph roads you start feeling exposed. Ive had no isses with mine so far. And enjoy camping so far especially when i have to go on gravel or dirt no issue there.
Hi Patrick, welcome to the channel and thanks for the comment. Yes, I’ve seen some real bad accidents from people trying to overtake on highways with not enough power… so it’s definitely a no go for that. When camping, how do you load it up… Saddlebags and luggage rack etc? Does the luggage weight have a significant effect on power?
@@GasolineroMoto good afternoon it's a pleasure to find this channel! Soft saddle bags (80 L total) 10 L tank bag. My meteor came with a backrest on the pillion seat. So, I attached my tent, 35 L dry pack, and wear my day pack (40 L) on my back. So in total that's 165 L of storage. I can actually have more storage but since I'm used to backpacking, I pack on the light side. I haven't noticed a difference in handling either. I didnt notice any issues with power after the break in period. Also most of my equipment is pretty light for backpacking reasons and I mostly ride at 55 mph.
Sounds like the bike is very capable! I shall have to try it for trips like that. Next week I'll be filming on the Royal Enfield Himalayan. Will be interesting to see how different it is to the Meteor. Stay tuned!
Be good if we could see it..
Sure! Click on the full video episode to see the original bushings and the new sturdier ones I had made up 🤘🏻
That's a life or death situation. I'm not interested in their products if that's their quality control. They're out as far as I'm concerned.
Totally agree Stuart. Had I not noticed the broken bushings, who knows what might have happened. Apparently Advanblack will replace the bushings free of charge but might be too late at that point lol 💀
That's could be deadly. Thank you for letting us know. That's unforgivable to me. You did a great video here.
@@stuartberke5845 Thanks Stuart appreciate the comment brother 🤘🏻
Same thing happened to me. They sent me a new set of bushings. As impossible as it sounds, you have to install them from behind. It looks impossible, but they do go through. Now, all of my bushings are installed without the cracks on the back side.
Great to hear it's not just me then ha! They do have great customer service. They sent me a smoke windscreen free of charge. Are the new bushings made of a different material? Do they seem to be holding up well? How long have the had them on? Interested to know! ✌
@@GasolineroMoto They updated the bushings, the same as Harley Davidson
@@leli-sy1ds Excellent! Great to know. Thanks for dropping the comment 👍🏻
FYI - I've now added links in the video description for every part used in the build. No affiliate links... pure community! 🤘
Meteor 350 is "upgraded" version of thunderbird 350x which was discontinued and relaunched as meteor 350 but in terms of performance it is no where near to thunderbird. I had a ride on thunderbird and it was probably one of the most comfortable experience. I kinda feels gay when I see people comsodering over classic 350 and Bullet 350 cuz meteor is like $500 to more than classic and $1000 more than bullet I am from India and stuff like purpose, and status you get from the bike is maybe different from your country but meteor dont actually give that much in my opinion. Love your videos dude, looking for some affordable but golden things like classic or bullet ❤
Don't say I ain't reading all that😊
Thanks for the comment man it cracked me up! 🤣 I didn't know about the thunderbird 350... just looked at it and yeah, it looks like the Meteor 350 but actually a bit nicer...? Yes, there's lot's of people who buy bikes (typically HD) for status etc as you've said, but for me, I couldn't care less about that stufff... I just love bikes for what they are! Let us know which bike you get and what you think of it 🤘
@@vedant8420 😂
No way ... Old thunderbird felt like riding vibrator
Nice build! Bike looks great. I’m getting ready to install the 9.5 inch Thrashin riser as well on my ST. Saludos Colombia!
Gracias Andres! You will love the risers... I get compliments on them all the time! 🤘
I recommend not to purchase I traded my 18 CVO Streetglide for a 24 CVO Streetglide and I hate the 24 The aerodynamics are garbage and make long miles unenjoyable. Stock windshield is huge buffeting so your comment on less I call BS That’s why you can not hear the stereo from the way the air comes over the ferring Go out to your vehicle and cut a 1” strip of glass out of it and drive around Too much wind being put on the rider Harley did not put this in the wind tunnel As for lighter you now have to go in to HD dealer and get a 25lb ballast added to the triple tree Still has a clutch cable, I wonder when we’re getting kick starts HD went backwards not forwards
Thanks for the comment. Interesting points. I only got up to 80mph but at that speed I didn’t get much head buffeting at all. How tall are you? Have you tried a taller windscreen for the 24 model like the Klock Werks Flare windshield? I have heard of some vision distortion with the curved screen but could be a solution: getklocked.com/products/flare-harley-davidson-2014-2024-flh
I’m only 5’7” so the stock one should’ve been suffice but it wasn’t. Going over 40-70mph or 80-120kmh my modular visor wouldn’t stay up, it’d slam shut the moment I let go. I tried adjusting the vent to balance the air but no luck I put the 8.5” harley windshield on and adjusted that vent and greatly decreased the buffeting But there is still a lot of air around the rider from the neck down Great if you live south of Colorado and want a nice breeze in 80F and above But remember where air goes, so do bugs, debris, rocks, and water
@@GMAN0444 At 80mph I had no issues with head buffeting but the wind was coming in from the sides for sure. And true, it's more suitable to nice weather lol! Hope you find a solution brother!✌
Thanks, safe travels this summer for ya I hope KlockWerks comes out with a windshield for it soon
MotorMan prefers a clutch cable. Much better
