This bike is a beauty and I am not a chrome guy at all! Thank you for all this help I just tore my 09 street glide down this weekend and these videos help to give me a idea of where to go! God bless
Thank you Chris...the SG came a long way over the last two years and our new RG build is all blacked out...so having one with all chrome and one with all black has been pretty cool and a lot of new lessons learned.
This video is a big help to me because I have to remove both of those pods so I can swap out my crash bar pegs on my new bike for ones that actually fit me. Thanks for sharing 👍
Hello steven, just wanted to say thanks BC I ordered and received advanblack lowers today. Nicely wrapped, perfect condition, however one vent I'm not able to open. With that being said thanks to your video I was able to remove the glove compartment and get to the vent mechanism. The vent was wedged and low and behold problem solved. Fyi, the arm connecting to the vent has a nut and bolt, once removed I pinched it together and it came apart just as you said. I enjoy you vids. Thanks Steven.......Marty from michigan
You're vids are really helpful. I really do appreciate how you break everything down and give good honest information. New subscriber here from New Zealand.
Thanks. Looking at a bat shield and lowers - will need engine guard. Know anything about back fender storage bags? I see they make them for the Triglide but it's a different fender angle on the freewheeler
Thanks for the additional installation insight. I have my lowers on but still looking for speakers. Those kickers. Are they water proof? How do you like their performance?
Yes sir they are kickers been running them for 2 years and I love them for the price. Plenty loud with a decent amp. However they are not waterproof. Gotta be careful getting caught in the rain with these.
There is really no way to hide the speaker wires unless you drill out and fish through the crash bar, which is not ideal. Simply run the speaker wire down the neck to the crash bar and over to the lower...before you stick the wire into the lower slide some black heat shrink over the wire and cut it to the lower. Insert the wire into the lower and you are done...you can arch it over or bend it straight at the crash bar and add a zip tie. I prefer to arch it over as its only a small amount of wire you will see....and covered with the heat shrink you wont see it unless you are looking for it.
Thanks for the tips as I just ordered my lowers a few days ago. Unfortunately Advan doesn’t offer Legend Denim for a color yet. When or if they do then I’ll change out the speaker pods as H-D only offers them in primer or Vivid Black. Keep your knees in the breeze
Yes that is the new blue color this year isn't it? Has the graphics on the fairing? Thats a pretty cool color if im thinking of the right one. Keep watch on the advan website or the advan review group on Facebook they will list all new colors there when they are released. Hopefully soon.
Steven Housden yes it’s the 115th anniversary 1027/1900 they are doing this year. Definitely keep an eye open for new stuff to see if I want to add it. Upgrading the fairing speakers and adding the speaker lids this weekend. Found your channel a few weeks ago when I was looking for tips on installing the air ride.
Yeah that is a nice looking sled...our local hd has one in the window. I am getting ready to do an updated air video. Kind of "one year review" JNR has been great man. Do you install air on yours yet? How do you like it?
Love the air ride. Had it on my 05 CVO Fatboy first and don’t know if I’ll have a bike without it now. Look forward to an air ride update and your opinion on adding a pressure gage for fine tuning.
When I have to put a bolt in a blind hole like that. I put a piece of black tape on the socket to create a friction fit for the bolt so it doesnt fall off. Saved my bacon a bunch of times.
yeah ive tried that a few times...seems like the tape is always too thick and then the bolt doesnt sit correctly ...i need some thinner tape i guess lol because ive seen other mechanics do it too
Thanks! The wheel is a SMT Machining 21" Twisted Steel here is the video ua-cam.com/video/VRAjRFpSsaA/v-deo.html and the air cleaner is a Arlen Ness Inverted Big Sucker..video here ua-cam.com/video/KnL72cmeILo/v-deo.html
Perfect video!!! But what about connections? I want to connect Fairing Lower Speakers on my FLHT 2019. What is additional should I buy? Which wiring harness should I buy for connect additional two speakers in Fairing Lower? Is it enough to buy connector # 69200612 ? Or I should buy something also? Thank in advance.
if you want to use the harley harness you will have to take it in to the dealership and get the rear channels turned on. That plug under the fairing more than likely is not turned on.
Nice video! I have a question regarding this: It goes like this: I got a Electra Glide from 2011 (FLHTCU) and I want to know if the Lower Fairing models from 2014 and newer fit my bike. Thanks for the videos and have a nice day!
Yes they will fit...the crash bar hasnt changed since like 1996....we have a lot of guys order the newer ones...I personally like them better and built much better too.
@@sikbaggers ah, ok. My older Street Glide I had a hard time fitting some Orion's. So I was wondering if the midbass speakers like the prvs and maybe the ground zero yellow baskets might not fit...
They will fit but I would say they are a 99.90 % perfect fit..the leading edge is visiblebut that doesn't stop a ton of folks adding them to their oem lowers...we sell alot for that
go to this link and make sure to click on the small color dot that selects charcoal pearl, then if you need pinstripe or nott then select dual, single or no cut out based on your exhaust....and it will give you a price www.advanblack.com/advanblack-color-matched-stretched-saddlebags-extended-side-covers-fender-extension-for-harley-davidson-2014-touring.html
they will fit but it is not an exact match on the outer edge...its really really close and lot of guys run them with no issues and dont mind..just be aware it is a 1/16th or so off...no gap...just not perfect though
I love your videos but these lowers are very disappointing. I have pancreatic cancer and was looking forward to one last summer of riding, I’m going through treatments and I only feel good enough to work on my bike every now and then I put them on loose and covered my bike up for a week and a half when I uncovered it the left side was all cracked apart and the speaker pod was hanging down. I have it at a body shop to see if they can fix it somehow if not can I order just the left side?
Sounds like you adding them on loose caused the speaker to fall out partially and put the pod and lowers in a serious bind which caused it to crack..they are ABS, just like HD's...same thing would have happened had you done that to a OEM lower. Yes you can contact sales and get that squared away with them. It wont be listed on the website as a single unit.
Im trying to redo my audio and I can not firgure out how to remove the grills!! Do they just pop off like the upper fairing grills? There are no videos I can find online to show you how.
@@sikbaggers Thank you. This was my first time watching one of your videos. You got STRAIGHT to the point. You didnt BORE me with a LONG Irrelevant intro, saying a BUNCH of NOTHING! You got STRAIGHT to the POINT! And, BOY.........DO I APPRECIATE THAT! You explained everything slowly, and very clear! Normally, I would have to watch a vider TWICE before I retain all the information. But, that wasn't the case here! So, THANK YOU! I actually look FORWARD to watching many more of your videos! In FACT........I HOPE some of the OTHER youtubers "WATCH" a couple of your videos and be "OPEN-MINDED", to LEARNING! from you!!!! Far too often, I see that people really have GREAT VIDEOS, VERY INFORMATIVE, But, they KILL THE WHOLE VIBE WITH THESE LONG-WINDED INTROS, TALKING ABOUT NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE, as if they are MESMERIZED BY THE SOUND OF THEIR OWN VOICE!!!! LOL. Again.......GREAT JOB! I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING AND LEARNING FROM ANY PAST, OR FUTURE VIDEOS! #TizTheLocsmith #CatchMeOnAhighwayNearYou
We dont do any custom colors, however if your bike is Vivid Black and "grey" on the lowers you would only paint the them the primary color. I have never seen two tone lowers. I wo9uld pick the black or the grey and have them painted that color. Call your local HD and ask them to run the VIN number and they can tell you what colors the black and grey are. They will have a name, not just black and grey.
Geir katsmo has a video where the lowers are all cracked and chipped... im interested in the lowers but id like at least a possible explanation about why his lowers may have been so brittle, any help would be greatly appreciated
I just seen the video and those are pre Rushmore style lowers. The lowers are a top seller and the first I have seen of it. I've had mine on for 3 years now and no issues. Very well could have been a bad mold that came out. If he contacts or did contact Advan they will replace them with no questions asked.
If it doesnt go right on over the speaker and your speaker grill is too big for the pod you will need 6.5 inch spacers. Cheap on ebay or amazon. It makes the speakers set out more so the grills mount on the speaker instead of in the hole
Sorry but , at 8:25, that is a pain in the ASS... My leaf spring kept falling off. Secondly , Where do you recommend to drill for speaker wires ? Don't drill under the front cover...Come in somewhere on the side of speaker housing. Advanblack ???
make the hole bigger and its not bad...you wont see it anyway its behind the speaker. and yes come in near where the crash bar goes under that cap...drill a hole straight through to the inside and you want see it once you put the cap on
Roberto Rivera oh ok.. So after it got painted it didn't turn out right... So they are re painting it. Id rather have it repainted than get it and it be bad and have to wait all over again.
@SIK Baggers so do I even need to get front lower crash bars is what your saying right? I have the lower fairing on mines it just I want the 15 plus look like yours

Will the Rushmore lowers fit pre-Rushmore Harley Davidson Flh
Was just wondering, do they need to be taken off for the maintenance of the motorcycle at a certain point? For a larger service maintenance perhaps?
Thanks for the additional installation insight. I have my lowers on but still looking for speakers. Those kickers. Are they water proof? How do you like their performance?
Yes sir they are kickers been running them for 2 years and I love them for the price. Plenty loud with a decent amp. However they are not waterproof. Gotta be careful getting caught in the rain with these.

What size is that Bottom bolt with rubber washer?
One thing that would be helpful is to know a few different options of speaker that would actually fit in the lower.
Add the provided spacer and just about any speaker will fit
@@sikbaggers ah, ok. My older Street Glide I had a hard time fitting some Orion's. So I was wondering if the midbass speakers like the prvs and maybe the ground zero yellow baskets might not fit...
This is Awesome
Whats up brother! Thanks for checking it out man!!
What’s the make of the red electric ratchet tool you use on the videos?
Looks like a Milwaukee
Can these speaker pods be purchased for the OEM lower fairings on a 2022? Or do they only work with your lowers?
They will fit but I would say they are a 99.90 % perfect fit..the leading edge is visiblebut that doesn't stop a ton of folks adding them to their oem lowers...we sell alot for that
Great video thanks!
Youre welcome Joe! Glad it helped you!
Question I just purchased a 2020 Freewheeler. Will lower units fit? Is the freewheeler the same wheel base as the tri glide
yes if im not mistaken it does not come with a crash bar so you will need to add the stock touring crashbar and they will fit.
I need stretch, saddlebags, charcoal, pearl for my 2014 street glide how much will that be?
go to this link and make sure to click on the small color dot that selects charcoal pearl, then if you need pinstripe or nott then select dual, single or no cut out based on your exhaust....and it will give you a price www.advanblack.com/advanblack-color-matched-stretched-saddlebags-extended-side-covers-fender-extension-for-harley-davidson-2014-touring.html
Could I just put the speaker pods on the harley lower or do I have to replace the whole lower ?
they will fit but it is not an exact match on the outer edge...its really really close and lot of guys run them with no issues and dont mind..just be aware it is a 1/16th or so off...no gap...just not perfect though
Hey Steve do you know if the Rockford fosgate 6.5 will fit in these ok. Thanks
Yes they will.

Will those new style lower fairings and pods fit 2007 Ultra Classic?
Yes..the lower crash bar has not changed in years.
May be a stupid question but do these for on other bikes besides Harley Davidson? Everything is for a Harley. I need this to fit a road star
I have them on a 2009 Yamaha road star left side fits perfect, the right side is a tight fit it's close to the exhaust headers
Can I buy these for my 2019 Street glide Special. I have the custom colour black and grey. How much do they cost
We dont do any custom colors, however if your bike is Vivid Black and "grey" on the lowers you would only paint the them the primary color. I have never seen two tone lowers.

They will have a name, not just black and grey.
Was well nut used to attach speaker in to speaker pod?
no you attach the speakers using screws through the front of the pod into the pod. 4 holes are already pre drilled.
Geir katsmo has a video where the lowers are all cracked and chipped... im interested in the lowers but id like at least a possible explanation about why his lowers may have been so brittle, any help would be greatly appreciated

Can I install on a 2013 street bob?
no these will not fit a street bob...they are molded for the crash bars on the touring models.
You missed showing the hardest part of the install. And that is trying to fit the speaker grill to the speaker pod.
If it doesnt go right on over the speaker and your speaker grill is too big for the pod you will need 6.5 inch spacers. Cheap on ebay or amazon. It makes the speakers set out more so the grills mount on the speaker instead of in the hole

I ordered mine on April 13th, and as of today I haven't received my lowers. #NeverAgain
Did you contact the sales dept to see what was going on?
Steven Housden Yes, and I was told that the paint didn't meet to their expectations. (China product) "No Bueno".
Roberto Rivera oh ok.. So after it got painted it didn't turn out right... So they are re painting it. Id rather have it repainted than get it and it be bad and have to wait all over again.
You have to use a high end body shop and Harley's paint from the parts dept.
For the amount of money you pay for these I would expect the vent to be built a little better then this. Lol
They are built just like harleys
I have a 11 ultra, can I mount a 15 plus lower crash bar so I can run there newer lower fairing kit
the crash bar is the same from 86 to 23 so you just want to get a "touring model" engine guard and itll fit.
@@sikbaggers thank you so much
