Thank you for this video! It is the best one on UA-cam I have seen. I appreciate that you explain everything in detail-not assuming I know what needs to be done (i.e. using the torque wrench, and providing the sizes etc.). Thank you for a great demonstration.
Excellent video. Installed mine on a 2018 CVO SG yesterday. The only difference is my bike did not have the bolt on top. The threaded holes exist but nothing was attached. Fortunately, I had bolts that fit and all went well. Thank you for posting this video.
I ordered two black aftermarket on Amazon but no adapted saddlebag supports. In hoping I can cut mine and drill a hole for the tubes to mate. Mines no mans land 2013 Road glide Custom Fltrx with stretched bags I added.
Those black small metal pieces, one on each side of the frame right? I am not really sure. Prior to this installation, I notice they push into the seat bottom but did not really support the seat. After the installation, I just kept them off and have not had any issue.
I think they're to support the seat. Ryan Urlacher's video puts them back on but another video by Fried Chicken specifically leaves them off saying that the thicker metal at the top of the Harley guards with bolt are high enough. In the end, it probably doesn't matter !!
looking at it at the end there it seems like they are not quite large enough to totally protect the bags... i would suspect that if it did get laid down the hard bags would still suffer... but it does give you a grab rail now to lift it back up...
Hi. According to the installation manual here: serviceinfo.harley-davidson.com/sip/service/document/217047?locale=en_US the 3/8-16 TORX screws are up to 37 ft-lbs.
Indian motorcycles are great bikes. I know because I own and ride an Indian motorcycle too. Harley and Indian have different feel on the road and finest in their own way. Each also have their flaws in design and overpriced upgrades. i love them both and will keep them both. I still own a Suzuki, Aprilia, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Polaris just to mention.
@@rtabcum so true. I've rode my buddies Milwaukee 8 and the bikes feel totally different. I was actually looking at your video to put the guards on for my buddy and was surprised how much more it takes.
Thanks Russle, I used your video today to do my install.
Russle, thanks for including the torque specs. I know a lot of guys just do it by 'feel', I'm not one of them. Great video.

Great video! I’m about to put them on my 2021 Road King Special. Thanks
Thanks for the video, i just bought for my new bike
Another great video and another part for my wishlist. Ride safe!!!!!
Thx for this tutorial- I used this as my guide to complete this project- great work!!!
Thanks for the great vide, just what I was looking for.
Great informative video. Installing guards on 21 RG.
Thanks for the awesome tutorial it really helped me out !

Did mine today - really useful video. What were the 'wedges' on the top frame for ? I notice you didn't replace them.

@@rtabcum Thanks for a quick response. Me being the inquisitive type, I'll try asking my dealer when they're open again.

Thanks for following up and asking around! Was kinda curious too.
Great video!! Thank you sir!!
Great job, can I ask what passenger floor boards you have and what was needed to fit? They look great.

@@rtabcum Appreciate that, thanks very much.
Thanks for this very helpful vid!
Very good video. Thanks!

Yes, not enough. Have not tested or tried it yet. Definitely good for handling the bike while on center dolly.
Does the saddlebag guard package contain useful directions + torque specs?
Yes it does but only to the bolts that requires removal to mount.
Love the bike
Hello...nice easy to understand video. What is the screw used to hold the seat down? Thank you
I bought the seat screw from Amazon. Here is the link. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0792TC6L1?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Thanks 👌
Well done. 👍
My bike didnt come with the top bolt. Anyone know the size bolt?
Thank you for the info
👍
Good job!
Are you sure tork is 30-37 f lbs Thank you for the information very helpful

All that just for saddlebag guards. You can do this job on an Indian bagger in 5 minutes with 1 tool and no parts have to come off
