    Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome videos!
    I just purchased this exact bike...my first Harley, and I enjoy learning about all of the work that goes into what you guys do, and about all of the sweet mods I can make.
    Now to talk the wife into some...Hmm.
    Keep up the great work!

    John thank you for ALL your videos. I just bought a 2018 Rgs and was wondering about the dreaded transmission clunk when shifting thru the gears..
    Could you address this on a new video? I had heard Harley had removed that "clunk". . but my 2018 has it just as much as my previous 2013 RGS did...
    Thanks again John

    • @charleshenson4183
      @charleshenson4183 5 років тому

      Ape bars look retarded & definately take away from your ability to be able to control it in an emergency situation.
      The drivers around here are so bad even the motorcycle cops are being ran over by them,so reaction time is critical here.

      I use a canon 80d. I film in 1080p 30 frames per second. The shots of the bike in the parking lot I actually switched to 60fps and then went 1/2 speed in post. This was my first time using slow motion. Glad you're enjoying the videos. Thanks so much for watching!

    Hell yeah I've been waiting for them to come out with all black touring bikes. I think I'm going to wait a little bit for the Milwaukee 8 to get the Kinks out of it. Hey John how is the Road Glide with beard lift? On my 14 Street Glide my beard is all over the place it is about your length they said they worked on the front fairing to eliminate that but it did not do shit. Just wondering because I will be picking up a Road Glide next and just wondering what your thoughts were on that. I do have the front fangs on the forks and the side deflectors on the fairing but I still get wind coming up from underneath not as bad but it's still blowing me around where the kids in a school bus get a good laugh. LOL... Thanks for the video brother they are great keep up the good work.

    • @TheHarleyTech
      @TheHarleyTech  6 років тому

      +Speedy Speed honestly I test ride all the bikes wearing a full face. Has to be DOT and all that fun stuff for work. So my take on the wind isn’t too accurate. The road glide is definitely a smooth motorcycle. Once you go fixed fairing, you never go back! Thanks for the positive feedback. More videos are definitely coming!

    • @TheHarleyTech
      @TheHarleyTech  6 років тому

      +Michael Camacho if it’s under warranty, let them fix it. Couple of things to check is brake lights functioning correctly, and if you have a “get back whip” on the brake lever, I’ve seen them close the brake switch and cancel cruise. Let me know what you figure out!

      +H Smith most of the video happens off the clock. That’s why they aren’t super in depth while I’m working. Pretty much all parking lot shots are lunch break or after work. I️ still have to “make time” on the job. Was the heel/ toe shifter all stupid looking? I’m usually better about that!

      haha, it would be cool to save a couple hundred off the bike for you setting it up! We do a fair amount of technical stuff, too, though. I just had more fun showing off the label removal.
