THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I had the split view mirrors on my Ultra Limited but Harley had only in silver. Thanks to you I ordered the black from Amazon at a savings of about $45. Thanks
KST is the go to company for handlebars they have a great install video on UA-cam.
Bars look great ✌️
I have a 20 road glide special with chopped tour pack as well. I’m really liking this new trike. I may have to make the plunge. Thanks for the videos. Helps a lot! 👍
Yeah man!! That’s what I did!! Great move for me!!
She’s coming along very nicely can’t wait for more content 🤙🏽
Thanks, Dale!!
Beautiful trike love the mods you done to it. Ride safe and God bless
Thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing ! Looks real good.
I am still waiting for delivery ...4 weeks and counting...
Congrats, man!! Hang in there! It’s worth the wait! 👊🏼😎
I really like what you are doing with your bike. I have been sharing your content with my friends. Great vision on how you are customizing it. I may purchase mine this week if it arrives.
I really appreciate that!! Good luck with your pursuit and thanks for sharing my stuff!! I also started a FB group for the RG3! It’s title is Harley-Davidson Road Glide 3.
Thanks again and stay tune! 👊🏼😎
I’ll probably make that my next modification after installing the mid step I just ordered. Those handlebars look great!
Thanks man! Absolutely love the bars.
(Subscribed) Guess what I am getting soon!!!?! Loved seeing the height of handle bars that I am looking to buy for mine on your motorcycle (I always appreciate a good visual of the end result before I buy). I will not be installing them myself though.
Awesome!! Glad you like the channel!! Enjoy those new bars!! 👊🏼😎
Looking good 👍🏾
Appreciate that!!
That was one of the first installment on my bike that I did was change the position of my arms. Those handlebars are going to make your rides so so much better.
Yes sir!! Took it around the block and made the world of difference!!
RoadGlide 3 is going to be a big hit. Just wish it had a tourpack. Beautiful bike 😎👍
There's gotta be a trunk.
It's a really good looking trike.
LED turn signals up front?
@@HOOLIGANfilmz LED’s all around. Check out my other videos for my lighting installs.
Dude, it is on fire! Im okay without the tour pack. Plenty of room in the trunk and I can strap down a good sized bad on the rack if need be.
It would look cool with a chop tour pack!
For $34,000 it should have a tour pack.
Sir, your bike looks sick! enjoy.
Thanks, Rafael!! Appreciate your comment!! 👊🏼😎
I had a ‘18 Spyder f3T, then a ‘16 Freewheeler, it rode pretty harsh and the old lady said the passenger floorboards were too high even with a tall boy seat. So went back to a ‘20 Spyder F3L. Watching your channel is making me want a RG3.
Hey, people do what people do!! 😂 Thanks for checking out my videos, Matt!! Stay tuned because I’m putting on floorboard extensions AND multi-position mount for the passenger floorboard. You can move the passenger floorboards up, down, tilt and it moves them outward. So yeah, more to come!!
I have a 2018 F3T, had a 2008 GS back in the day. This is the 1st trike that made me really want to make a change. I just might pull the trigger.
@@sonjaoneal2 go check one out, if you can find one!! They’re pretty sweet!
Been watching your video since you got the rg3.
I ordered my Grey Haze / black rg3 Feb 23th, being delivered this week.
Hope to have the bars and led upgrades done to ride to Leesburg rally Saturday.......we shall see lol
I hope you do!! I’ll be there Saturday!! Appreciate your comment, Keith and hanging with my channel!! 👊🏼😎
Donnie I love the bars but I think you should pull them back towards you a little because you will start to feel some lower back fatigue and strain on long rides due to the handlebar position. The position looks like you're stretched out too much with little bend in your arms. I think with a little more bend in your arms and a backrest you will be more comfortable.
That was my observation as well. The comfort triangle is stretched out forward a bit much. Just my opinion . BTW- I'm taking my 2023 tri-glide 120th anniversary trike into the shop "today" and will be dealing with a "fitment specialist" who helps customers with proper bar size and placement. @donniewieburg thank you for your content.
46 yo vet with some nerve damage and shoulder issues and am seriously considering this bike because of the lack of confidence I am feeling riding my ultra classic. I love road glide and was looking at the RG limited but the RG 3 is tempting.
I feel ya, brother. Myself, have both shoulders separated, and continuously have to work them or it will get worse. Honestly, I wasn’t at that “age” of becoming a trike owner, but I’m sure glad I sucked it up and did it. I’ll never look back at that decision! I feel so much better, physically and mentally. When you’re ready, you’ll be fine. I don’t feel long rides the day after like I used too. Good luck with everything, and thanks for commenting!! Appreciate you!!
That’s one bitchn Trike. Good move on the bars. Nice
Thanks, Guy!! Yeah this thing is a beast!! Appreciate you dropping a comment!! 👊🏼😎
I dig them mirrors

@@donniewieburg very cool
#1 Subscriber.... haha did you have to get longer clutch or brake cables??? I absolutely love my 23 RG3
The way I installed them, I didn’t have to. Some people have opted to go ahead and get them though.
I'm trying buy one now, put the order in 4 weeks ago this Tuesday and still waiting! As far as the handle bars , pull them back about an inch or so.
Awesome! Patience is a virtue!!! Hang in there. It will come! As far as the bars, I have installed new ones. 14” KST Pathfinders l, which are taller than these. Set to where they fit me better. Congrats on the RG3 order!! 👊🏼😎
I love the look of that trike. What mount do you use for your cup holder on the pillion handhold?
Ciro cup holder and a Ciro universal mount. Both on Amazon, Sandman.
Hey, really like your videos, one question, do you have any suggestion on upgrading you seat? I would really appreciate your help.
I run a HD Tallboy seat. There’s a ton of options out there. I’d find something comfortable for long hauls.
It's a personal choice on height. My concern would be how your arms feel in full turn position.
Hey Donnie, do the Souixicide Villian bars for the Road Glide fit the RG3? Being this bike is a 23 model its hard to get an answer as to what fits from their websites. Any help will be appreciated. God Bless....
Had those mirrors, if you ride in all weather, the finish will wear out after a season or 2. Otherwise they're awsome.
The bike looks great. My dealership is saying the max bar you can put on is 12'' without having to extend the brake & clutch lines. Did you have to do anything with the lines putting a 13'' bar on?
Yes I did. I explain that in the video.
Bars look cool actually your whole bike is cool ! I like the 13” height. How tall are you ?
I’m 5’11”. I have 14” KST pathfinders on now. Love them.
Will a CVO chin spoiler fit??
What did you do to fix the issue of the hole being on passenger side of the bars and the nipple being on the driver side on the neck? I just did my bars and it was a a task. I watched your video and you didnt mention it but i can clearley see the hole on the throttle side Of your bars so you had to have had the issue as well. I ask cause some say grind nipple i just made a hole on drivers side of bars. Beautiful rg3 also👍😎👍
I tapped the pin down into the body of the clamp. It’s not needed.
@@donniewieburg had no idea u could just tap it down . Smh🤣🤣🤣
@@hellcatQ yeah it’s real simple and easy.
Donnie
Did you have to replace your wires and cables? Or were you able to use the stock ones
Clutch extension and cable extensions.
Donnie, did you remove the roll pin and if I remove it will it.void any warrenty?
You just knock it down in. Will not void warranty, brother.
Thanks Donnie. I just ordered Factory 47 Signature 14in bars but was wondering if i should have gone a little shorter. How tall are you?
I’m 6 ft.
I’m actually thinking of going 16”.
Hi I'm 6'3" how tall are you so I know how tall I can go up with my bars. BAD ASS TRIKE by the way mine will be here in two weeks 😊 I can not wait its also black on black!!! Like yours
Im 5’11” and I have 13” bars. For you, 18” would put you in the sweet spot. Thanks for your comment!! 👊🏼😎
On you're handed bars you have to change your clutch and Break line?
I did not. In the video I explain what I had to do. And some of the steps to move those into a better position.
Does the fairing have the storage in the sides?
Yes. It’s a standard Road Glide Fairing with the 2 side compartments.
You have the right. Any taller and in my opinion look like S. When I changed the bars on my 2021 Tri Glide, my hands are right at the top of the fairing. Not above. To me, bars above the fairing do not match the lines of the bike and just don't look right.
Thanks, Jerry! Right there with ya.
What made you grab this trike and how much different is it than 2 wheels to get used to
Hey Paul. I’ve been thinking of a trike for a while now, but none really grabbed my attention. I’m coming off a 2020 Road Glide Special and when I saw this at the dealership, I was sold. I’m a shark nose fairing guy and this hit it for me. I test rode this and a TriGlide back and forth to see what I liked. This, to me, was more agile and sporty. It took me about a week to really feel comfortable on it because of the riding dynamic differences. Once you experience the ease of operating it, you tend to feel more relaxed. After 3 weeks now, I love it. The confidence I have now is life changing. Not having to hold up 1100 lbs. in stop and go traffic is my big ah-ha moment. Please check out my earlier videos that I did and discussed these issues. Thanks for your comment!!
Will do. Love it
Hey, I really enjoyed watching this. I had 2015 freewheeler that I went pretty crazy with. 23" front wheel, rear fender delete, fat rear tires, 16" apes, pin stripping, air ride and more. Fast forward, I sold that a while ago, I just ordered a blue on black RG3 and have been buying parts waiting for its arrival. My question is, could you share what bars you bought" I'm going to go with LA Coppers Twin Peaks to match my Street Glide, but can't find anyone who can confirm if they are the same as a Road Glide or as a Freewheeler as far as the clamping diameter. Is it 1-1/4" straight through or 1" like my freewheeler was. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Keith from Jersey
Thanks for your comment! It is 1 1/4” clamp diameter for the RG3. Sounds like you got a good list of parts going!! I’m installed the 13” LA Choppers hefty twin peaks.

@Donnie Wieburg thanks Donnie, I ordered the bars, and they came in today. Do you happen to remember or know what length clutch cable and brake line you ordered.
@@keithforman7921 I didn’t order any. I used the stock clutch cable and brake line.
Add tour pack
Did you need to add any cable extensions parts
I did not, Chris. You have to move the clutch cable out of its clip on the neck and remove the plastic bridge where the cable connectors sit in the housing area under the gauges. Also, pull the brake line up. There’s play there. Can’t go over 14’s doing this.
@@donniewieburg I appreciate it. I just grabbed a set of factory 47 from my local dealership. 12”. Heading home to install.
@@ChrisGlides awesome! You should be fine. Watch my video a few times and also search installing handle bar on a Road Glide. There’s lots out there. Good luck, sir. You’ll love it!
This is how it’s going. Lol. All is well. Time to do the second most part I hate and that is plugging in the right grip heated plug tab. Geesh. After that putting it all back together again. ua-cam.com/users/shortsZsgMJEagftk?feature=share
Looking for that backrest for the RG3 where can I find it
They’re on back order through Harley, but check out Hogworks and Amazon. Search 2022 Freewheeler.
@@donniewieburg Thanks so much ordering all my parts you channel is such a blessing love the content and keep doing what your doing
@@blulinkme appreciate you!! 👊🏼😎
Ordering mine now. Is your 1 1/2 or 1 1/4
These are 1 1/4. The link I listed is the exact bars I bought.
How tall are you my man
Im 6 ft. I had 14’s on my RGS so I thought these would be to short but worked out for me.
They only have 14s now
@@Dionsanders77 just checked the link I listed in the description and show they have them in stock.

Still available my friend
Site said it don’t fit.. am I seeing this right
When I ordered it I chose the 2022 Road Glide as the motorcycle since there is no RG3 in the system.

Dammit!! AGAIN?!?! 🤣😳
@@donniewieburg all in good fun. I'm enjoying the videos
@@DyinG_BreeD_MediA thanks, bro!! I enjoy a good ball busting when warranted!
Dude, I have those same mirrors on the RGS. Oh and my wife is clinging to your new vids like crazy as she is gearing up for hers. Imma have to check out Veteran Biker. Kinda sucks that you cannot add pics in comments on UA-cam, because I'd love to exchange photos and ideas on these RG's. I'd put my email here but I've seen enough foreign sex shows in the Navy and I don't need that in my inbox. That and I don't need to enlarge my breasts, penis, hair or government health care. LOL
So, now you've got my wife looking at mini-apes whereas she is not a fan at all. She was asking your height as she's a little concerned about her leg length but she made me pause to check out your love triangle, I mean rider triangle. ROFL Just kidding. She was very happy to see that your legs were at least pushed a little forward on stock boards. She was not a big fan of how her legs were at right angles on the Tri Glide.
Thank you so much for posting these vids on the RG3 from both of us! Oh I see you did the low profile tank console already or so it seems. Damn, did I miss that video? Anyway we look forward to the next vid.
Oh before I forget, my wife wanted to request that you put the camera on the side of the road facing the golfers and do some drive-by vids because there is a similar neighbor she wants to do that to. LOL
Keep the knees in the breeze and stay safe to come home to a Juice Box and Crayons! LMAO
The point of my channel it to inform and give my opinion. Glad y’all like it!! I piss off the golfers all the time!!😂
If
I want to offer a 2024 sharkskin blue with 40 miles on i😢t will sell, for $39,000.
I just got my RG3 & realized that the handlebars need to be brought more towards me. I'm hyperextending my arms to steer & I'm not able to control the steering correctly. How do I adjust them? Thanks in advance. I have Factory 47s 12 inch installed.
Did you install them? If not, I would go back to whomever did and have them adjust them to your liking. If you did, just loosen the clamp bolts and tilt them back toward you more.
@@robertwandlaincourt314 I would contact them and have them come get it if you’re uncomfortable to ride it the way it is.
@@donniewieburg thanks, I'll contact them. Enjoy your day.
@@robertwandlaincourt314 yes sir! Good luck, Robert!! It’ll all come together for ya. ✌🏼😎
