Love your use of our Journey Tank Bags on your rear fender! Looks good. Just shared your video in our Playlist of customer videos. Thanks for choosing Nelson Rigg.
It is a phenomenal product! Those powerful magnets are great and that bag will never fall off no matter how fast you travel!! Ironically I haven’t seen any since I bought mine at Down Home Harley in Burlington.
Very Very Nice ! I just came across your channel in my feed actually and I'm happy to support your efforts and those of other fellow moto content creators. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from you in the future, keep up the great work and ride safe out there.
Thank you Freedom Rider!
I just saw some of your content and subbed your channel my friend. Hope you enjoyed the video and walk around!! Be safe as well.

The bike is awesome! Congrats!! I just bought a 2022, same color. As soon as it arrives I want to make some upgrades too.
You won’t regret it and hope you enjoy it!! Besides liking grey as a color in general, the gunship grey was a different color for Harley. I didn’t want the typical colors they had. Wished they had the ST model at the time I bought the S, but that was during the time of the supply and inventory issues and this was all they had. Thank you for subbing to my channel and congrats on your new wheels and be safe!
Stage 2 really wakes the bike up buddy. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Nice looking bike and sounds good. I’m subscribed
Thank you so much! Ride safe!!
Great video for your first attempt (or even for an experienced UA-camr!). Love the sound of that exhaust! This is my dream bike, and almost exactly how I would have it configured. Only thing I don't like about these bikes is that huge stock air filter, and even the one you used - I'd prefer that flat one as the red wouldn't bother me. I'd also prefer twin bags for longer trips. Other than those small changes, she is awesome and great job for the work you did!
Thank you! I agree on the air breather especially after having it for a while now. I should’ve gone with something like an Arlen Ness tear drop style or cage fighter. I was trying to somewhat mimic what came stock on her, but not interfere with my right leg as much. The other issue with having the cone shaped style- it’s a debris catcher. To your point on having bags- I would certainly recommend for long trips 100%! I had been looking around and just never quite found a particular style that sat well with me. If they had the Lowrider ST at the time I bought my bike, I would’ve opted for that, plus get the better looking fairing. I am getting my cruise control assembly installed in a couple of weeks as well as a custom dynamics LED light bar that will be hopefully mounted between the forks. I use the term hopefully, because the bracket assembly that came with the light is not meant for the bike, I actually bought it through a company called RickRak who was a vendor at the full throttle bike show in Greensboro, NC a couple of months ago. They assured me that that model light would fit my bike and unfortunately they were wrong. I called custom dynamics and they don’t make any light bar kit meant for the Lowrider. That has been my pet peeve since owning the bike. There are tons of options and accessories. It seems for many other models except the Lowrider. Nonetheless, I am looking at making a custom mounting bracket, but the challenge is finding a suitable place to mount it, and also clear my Memphis shades fairing. Overall though I love the bike and how responsive it handles! Thanks for stopping by to see my video and I am planning on doing another one after I get these mods done soon.
I have the same bike! A lot of the same mods, I love the mini boards, I use jokers and I think they work great, I’m also thinking of putting that same quarter faring on but I wasn’t sure if it would look good with the grey but it does! Very nice!
It’s such a great bike and there are some cool things that you can do, but unfortunately as you’re probably aware, there’s not a boatload of different accessories out there for the FXLRS.
I just had installed a 6 inch Custom Dynamics LED light bar on my triple tree, but the bracket assembly was not made for my bike. Admittedly, I’m not good with that stuff so I had my mechanic install that a couple of weeks ago. He had to
remove the front wheel and tap threads under the triple tree for the bracket that holds the light bar to fit.
Regarding the Memphis Shades faring I would say it is OK, but not great. It attaches to brackets you would mount to the forks and it doesn’t stay on very securely, but I never had it fall off. Buddy of mine got a Saddlemen faring that just came out which mounts to the frame- not the forks. It looks amazing, but it’s double in $$ compared to the MS one.
Dude it is one sweet bike ! Stage 2 for sure !
I appreciate you stopping by to view my video and yeah man for sure I would love to do that next year if I can afford to!
Красивый мотоцикл ! Поздравляю тебя! Я себе купил такой же мотоцикл 2019 года . Снимай больше буду с радостью смотреть , удачи тебе друг!
Thank you for watching! I just recently added the cruise control assembly and will be posting another video in the near future so please stay tuned!
What mods have you done on your bike?
I am in need of new tires and wanting to know what a good brand is for the FXLRS models.
Love that wind fairing! Almost makes me wish I would have the S instead!😊
I also love the grips and leavers but them not matching the wheels it would have bothered me to much so I ended up not getting them
Couldn’t help it🤷🏻♂️
But I really dig the pistol setup😁😁
Yeah I hear ya! HD has the exact color code on that fired bronze paint and you can find it on Amazon if you ever need to. I had Thrashin Supply militant pegs I painted to match the rims, but I got rid of those pegs once I put the Joker Machine ones on.
She is a beauty. I have a 2020 Low Rider S with a Stage II with the same pipes and she is throaty. 🥰 I have to keep her throttled at 900 or she wants to shut off. But OMG the torque is unbelievable exciting. 😈 I have mini floor board and it is amazingly great. The list of mods I have on my girl is ever growing. Next is either the Legend or Ohlins suspension upgrades. I enjoyed the video. Keep making them. First of many I hope.
Thanks so much for stopping by and for sharing what you did to your bike! Who made the cam for your stage 2? I’m glad to hear you have the same exhaust because I really like mine a lot and would not want to replace it plus absorb an additional cost. What brand mini floorboards do you have? I just had the cruise control assembly installed on mine last week, as well as a custom dynamics LED light bar. I won’t get into that mess about now, but I will go further into it when I do my next video in which I plan on doing fairly soon, so stay tuned and be safe!
Beautiful bike! I wouldn’t sweat the mismatch on the bronze, the levers and grips are far enough away from the wheels to make it work. Good luck, ride safe!
Heyyy Now….my first official comment, that’s awesome and many thanks for the reply. Be safe as well and two down always!!
Great first video! I’m new to UA-cam as well. Got a handful of videos and 14 subs. Been having fun with it so far. Good luck! I’m sub’d
Beautiful Street Glide you got man! Loved the Tikit video also btw. I have my dog’s seatbelt leash thing I use for that very reason. Hate seatbelts after I pulled a guy from a burning vehicle many years ago and his seatbelt was stuck. Your speed test one was cool as well. Anyways thx for the sub and I am your 15th 😎
@@rollinreaper thanks man, I really appreciate that. I got a get another video knocked out this weekend. That tikit video was just done out of sheer boredom. Lol. I was just sitting in a parking lot. 😂 that thing really blew up! It was pretty funny
@@Fever_Rides my main objective of making this video was that with all the mods I’ve done, I struggled many times to find “how to”tutorials or opinions of whatever the process is/was of installation etc, hoping to save aggravation for others and not be counterproductive.
@@rollinreaper that’s a great plan
Beautiful looking bike mate! Came across the video looking for sound clips on the bassani road rage 2.
Good walk around and details man! Would love to see an on the road video before you cam it if possible.
Would you say the exhaust has a good deep note without being obnoxious on the road?
Thank you! Tried being as detailed as possible and glad you enjoyed watching. I will certainly do a before and after when I go to the stage 2.
The exhaust was recommended by my buddy who works at Harley. I said I wanted something to make a statement, but not be over the top. The Bassani is exactly that and when at idle it is a low and lopey sounding tone. Curious as to how it will sound once the cam is changed. Stay tuned and thanks for stopping by!
Solid video dude, bike looks good 👏🏻 what brand tank bag was that? Might grab one for myself, I like how you have it on the rear too
Sorry for delayed response. I had trouble finding the manufacturer but was able to locate the name which was on the zipper pull. Design is slightly different than mine, but actually looks nicer. It’s on RevZilla even though I found mine at my local HD store.

i love the 90 ° angled license plate you hater 😂😂 love your ride! thanks for sharing my man. picked up the 2023 so i’m looking to do a whole cosmetic upgrade before attempting any power upgrades
HaHa yeah my HD pet peeves got the better of me 😂 IMO that is a smart way to go. If I had to put an order which upgrades I would’ve done first, it definitely would’ve been getting the proper risers installed. I actually waited to do that last. I did pick up the cruise control assembly, which is standard on your year bike and I will be having my guy install that for me when he does my service soon.
As far as the performance is concerned, save your money on replacing the air breather if you’re contemplating on doing so. If I had to say that I wasted money on a cosmetic thing, that definitely was it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the stock breather only for the exception of it slightly interfering with the inside of your right leg , when you have your legs stretched out. Definitely do the stage one and get yourself an exhaust that you’re happy with. I’m on the fence about doing that stage two because quite honestly, I really do like the power and torque that this bike delivers and I’m not so sure I want to drop a few grand down to make it just a little bit better. As you know, it’s all subjective at the end of the day no matter which direction you go. Be safe and thanks for stopping by to see my video!
Good stuff bro
Thanks for stopping by bro!
Great bike brotha. I have the same one and absolutely love it. Just wanted to say I go with the swing arm bag, handlebar bag and make good use of the sissy bar luggage rack… I have multiple bags/backpacks that slide right over it or attach for extra storage. My favorite being the roll style bag that doesn’t take away from the aesthetic and I’m able to fit my lunchbox, hoodies/jackets or my girl always throws her purse in there…
Thanks brother. Yeah that’s the next step is utilizing as much as possible with different types of bags like you had done. It’s a great bike and have lots of fun riding it! Be safe!
@@rollinreaper hey, it looks like I already dropped by! Yea those pipes sound awesome and look good too. Made in America?
@@Jtdubbzz thanks bro! Yes, Bassani is American Made. Honestly thought made in Italy till I just googled it hahaha. Thanks for stopping by again!!!
Grey is super fire
@@aaronselman4098 it for sure is an awesome color on a Harley and is for sale if you’re interested and happen to live in or around NC.
My stock mirrors are great! 😁
Maybe with my new risers the stock ones would’ve been fine but otherwise I sold mine on eBay.
Nice !
Thanks Lad! 😎
We’ll done!
Thank you, much appreciated!
I'll be doing the stage 2 early next year so stay tuned if you'd like to.
nice bike bro
Thanks bro!
There's a hand gun on your bike !!! What for??
Yes USA.. here in Australia that's illegal and you'd be arrested..frrrk..
Anyway like the mods on the Low Rider S.
Cheers
I can easily grab it while riding in the event I need to. When riding as it’s holstered on your hip, it makes it difficult to grab quickly. The mags I have tied to sissy bar I am showing off the Gear Ties I mention in the video as I generally carry those on my belt.
My friend, this is America and not every state is firearm friendly, but where I live it is. I had a buddy of mine run off the road purposely with his old lady on the back and he was not carrying a handgun. If he were, he’d of been able to defend himself and her. They wound up with broken bones and several other injuries. Why not have the right to defend yourself in a violent encounter like that? That’s one of many reasons I ALWAYS carry my weapon riding my scooter or not.
I follow a lot of MC news and other news from Australia and in Europe. Australia will jail you for jaywalking. I feel bad that your government favors perpetrators more than their victims, but the way it’s going here in the USA with this moron we have as “president” isn’t far behind. Sorry for the rant, but be safe and cheers to you as well and thanks for watching my video mate.
Good morning do you still have that Vance and Hines air breather for sale?
Sorry my friend I do not but the bike is up for sale on FB marketplace. I did have that cruise control assembly installed when I had the 5K mi service done not long ago.
Awesome bike man. Dude you definitely shld do the star 3030 cam....
Thanks bro much appreciated and I will check into that. Have you done yours with that cam?
@Rollin Reaper no I have an old twin cam road king with fueling cams, but Holy shift has a 23 low rider st with a m8 117 with a 3030 cam installed and the bike sounds and runs amazing...
@@michaelmitchell5909 I have seen his channel and his bike is awesome. He has the Lowrider ST. Thanks for the heads up btw!
@Rollin Reaper ya man I'd do the fueling race cam plate and pump with the sns lifter collars and fueling pushrods to go with the cam...that's almost an absolute must have upgrade. The fueling race pump will assure that the sumping will be eliminated. A trask crankcase breather I'd do as well man. When I get my new road king special guaranteed I'll be doing those motor upgrades first
@Rollin Reaper ....hey man alot of people also use the sns 475 cam, it as well makes the bike run strong and sounds amazing
Very clean bike. I’m looking into the curved lay down license plate as well, is that the custom dynamics one?
Thank you! Ironically I am selling the bike because I had a financial situation come up and need to have some breathing room. Here is the link through RevZilla however if you're looking to buy the same one and yes....Custom Dynamics makes it.

@@rollinreaper sorry to hear that brother, thank you for the link. I just installed it yesterday, night and day difference.
@@antcaabeiro yeah bro I think I will keep her. Invested a good amount into it and it’s my therapy. I’ll find other things to financially cut out of my life.
Another pet peeve of the "standard HD operating procedure" 😁
Is there significantly less head buffeting when using the 13 inch windshield?
I’ll use the 13” more than I would smaller shield, because it definitely works as far as cutting the wind drag off of my head and face areas. Wind drag and buffeting I think are subjective to each rider. Also depends on what style or type of helmet you use.
I’m not a huge fan of Memphis Shades because of how the fairing mounts to the forks. They could’ve done a better job with the design of the brackets which the fairing attaches to. Saddlemen now makes a really nice frame mounted fairing for the FXLRS, but it’s double in price compared to the MS one.
how's the stock seat on longer rides ..? how many hours is your long ride... What's your height that makes you comfortable with 8" riser ..?
I’m embarrassed to say that I sold the stock seat once I got the Saddlemen seat that I mentioned in my video and ultimately bought the stock seat back. I did almost an eight hour round-trip ride with the stock seat, of course, stop in periodically to fuel up and to take some breaks, but I never once complained about it being uncomfortable what was uncomfortable was the fact that I had nothing to block the wind at the time because I had just gotten the bike. I did mention in the video my height and weight but I am 5‘10“ 195 pounds. I thought the 8 1/2 inch risers were actually going to be a little too tall and surprisingly they are not. They are very comfortable but I think I could’ve gotten away with the 9 1/2 inch thrashin supply risers or around that height. The whole reason I wanted the risers to begin with was not to make the bike aesthetically better looking, but make it more comfortable on long rides, keeping my arms at a 90° parallel bend.
wath the size of your windshield plz ?
The one shown in my video is the 11” vented. I have the 13” vented one on the bike currently and when it gets warmer I will put the smaller one on.
You're fairly close to BlockHead. They can tune that baby up perfect.
His work is absolutely amazing and I think if I’m not mistaken they are either in South Carolina or Florida. Undoubtedly, I need to get her tuned where she can show her true potential. Thanks for checking out my video and appreciate the comment. Be safe bro.
@@rollinreaper I have one just like it, so I'm always checking out what everyone is doing to them. Stay safe out there.
Livewire front axle covers will fit
I’ve searched around and HD sells the axel adapter kit but doesn’t work with the ‘22 FXLRS. If you have them on your bike please send the link. I did get the matching front ones that match the rears but had to return to HD. Thanks for stopping by!
Just search it on UA-cam bro
Im referring to the harley livewire BIKE
@@ls2surf485 hmm I will look into it thanks! If the axel and fork design is the same then it should work. The kit I initially purchased from my local HD did say it worked on all softail models but not the case on the lowrider. I’ll also let my parts guy at HD know as well what you mentioned and he can check into it.
Zippers 472 cam
Thanks bro I will check that out. Do you have that cam in your ride?
@@rollinreaper no not that one. I hear that 472 was built around the 117 motor.
red on grey I can see what it does to your eyes
Agree! Thanks for checking my video out.
Love the bike... braves flag has to go, however! ;)
Thanks for stopping by to see the grey ghost!! Sorry, I should’ve edited the flag out 😂
Weird place to have a hellcat and mags. Kinda yells come take my gun.
Good observation on calling the brand being that it was holstered, but why would I leave it permanently on my bike? Who’s taking my weapon if I’m on the bike?? I usually carry the bag on my tank because it’s in front and easy to grab.
