Riders back rest for touring is a must. Get out on the highway, put your feet up on the pegs, hit the cruise and relax
Definitely!!!
The best way to remove those reflectors is with WD40 & fishing line. On each side of the reflector pull up on each side as apply the WD40 behind it, be sure to use a good amount when doing so. Let that sit for about (10) minutes, then start from the top with your fishing line behind it pulling it down slowly. Once the reflectors are off you can just use your finger nails , that’s if you have not chewed them off, and the just remove the adhesive until it’s completely off. Take a soft cloth to remove the WD40. Hope this helps you out, I been doing this way for many yrs now.
Awesome good to have another solid method thx!!
That blue paint is insane
Thank you for the video awesome information, I just got a 2012 Harley Davidson Softail Convertible CVO 110 , took me some time to get used to the heel shift now I love it, it’s a must for me
Totally agree that heel shifter is amazing once you give it a try! 👍🏻👍🏻
Ok.... I did also choose the highway pegs and the four point docking system for my old 2010 E-glide, but all the rest of your must do's is just for show. I still have those 2 big spotlights next to my headlight, so people see me for sure. Most important is that you have those old fashion rear crashbars, because sooner later your drop the thing and then your hard saddle bag is gone including your exhaust pipe. And those rear crashbars are great for securing bagage and fitting some extra leather bags.
Rear crash bars I’ve been thinking about adding those just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Great suggestions!!
Awesome video, as far as removing the reflector a steam gun works better than a heating gun, you can actually cause the paint to bubble if left to long. A steam gun is more safer. Works good at removing window tint as well. And definitely a shorty antenna.
Good call on steam gun just I personally don’t have one 😀
Have a Heritage and love added the heel shifter as well 😎 a former Illinois resident..New sub
Love that color. Thanks for the bid def subscribing
Welcome and thank you!!
That blue paint job is sweet!
It gets a lot of compliments for sure. Harley did a great job!!!
Mod #1 - Rear suspension - stock 2 inches of travel is just silly.
Mod#2 - Front suspension
Mod #3 - Engine cooling aka Love Jugs. I will guarantee that you are running an engine temperature of over 300 degrees all the time on that 107 (mine ran 330 degrees when it was 80 degrees ambient temp). Your ECU is going to significantly retard the timing when the engine hits those temps and drop your torque and HP by more than 10%. The cost of the Love Jugs to retain 100% of your engines torque and horsepower is the cheapest horsepower you will ever buy. With the cooling, I’m running 255-260 degree cylinder head temps now.
All excellent add-ons that make a big difference! 👍🏻
Now I know what Superman does on his day off
Lol
Thanks for the video and the passion. What kind of lift do you have your ride on?
Thank you! It is a Handy sam 1200 lift table
Great video!
Thank you!!
First time to the channel, good stuff and nice video. Ride safe
Thank you! What do you ride?!!
@@TorqueandPower 21 RGL and 2000 Road King Classic
I have to say that Stage 2, Trq cam, with a good tune, and Legend Suspension front and rear, are "must's". Once you've had a bagger with these 2 upgrades, it's impossible to go back.
I just did a demo ride on a new RGS and was completely disappointed in the stock suspension and the throttle response.
It is a game changer! What suspension did you go with?
@@TorqueandPower Legend Axeo front, REVO-ARC rear
@@jameslindsay479 legend makes great stuff!
My new Ultraglide came with a maladjusted clutch that almost burned itself up on my first ride. Took it back to get adjusted and it still slipped a little. Third try was a charm, and I also upgraded to the SE version with 1275 NM springs. This would be my first mod I'd recommend for any of the new Harleys. I think they have been cracking 3rd gear so more clutch slip is the way they tackled it ... rather than taking the transmission out and lowering the hardness of all the gears to about 180 Rockwell so they are not quite so brittle. I plan to do this when the warrantee runs out. Anothert excellent add on is the cool flo fan. Makes it slightly less like riding thru hades here in Florida during the summer.
I’d also recommend the billet ramp upgrade for the compensator!
That's THE SGS that i want. beauty!
Thanks! You should get it and you won’t regret it!
Enjoy the videos. On the must do list I especially like the boom amp addition. So may amps pop up on the internet I’m not sure which amp you are talking about. I don’t want too much wattage that I blow my speakers. They are 250 -1200w I didn’t see 75 watt. Do you maybe have a link for that and boy?
Thanks for the videos
Boom amp is the one Harley-Davidson sells before they partnered with Rockford fosgste. It will increase your per speaker amperage to 75 if you have the stage 1 like I do. It is a good budget purchase 👍🏼👍🏼
Great presentation. Good voice and not condescending. I would however and have done removing all those stupid stickers on the down tubes.
Thank you and welcome!!
Where did you buy the CVO backlights?
You can get them thru Harley also custom dynamics makes a set as well. You will need the cvo fender to house the lights
Great video although I had trouble focusing on you when your dog took over demanding attention. Lol. How tall are you and what height are your new bars.
Thanks.
I’m 6’3” and the Factory 47 bars are 12”. Thanks for supporting the channel!
Where did you get that vrod muscle banner? Looks awesome and would definitely want one for my work space
Actually on eBay it was a dealer promo banner. Lucky find
@@TorqueandPower definitely lucky! Looks good man and dig the garage altogether
Beautiful looking bike and color! Thinking on buying the hard lowers for my 2019 streetglide. How do you like them and do they make it feel hotter on your legs?
They are awesome! Great wind and rain protection. Helps tons when I travel from wind fatigue on the legs. Not hotter at all especially with the vents. I have speakers in them but you can get gloveboxes instead. I’d get them again, hope this helps you out!!!
@@TorqueandPower thank you very much
Ima bout to take them off the '09 ultra,
@@Will8022000 Awesome!
I bought this same bike new in chesterfield va. I had them put docking hardware on it. Got a better seat and backrest so wife can ride on back. Had them put on screamin’ eagle mufflers and a stage one air cleaner, I did the same as you keeping the original style. Had the whim installed which has never worked very well. Had black axle covers put on. All that before I brought it home. Since then I got taller windscreen, custom dynamics lights, king tour pack from Harley in matching paint. Bought a 2018 tour pack pad off of eBay so the stitching matches. #1284/1900. Love my bike
It is like we are the same human listening to your story lol. That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
What size factory 47 bars are those thanks
They are 12”. Didn’t want them above the fairing and they feel great!
I'm buying my Rockford fosgate fairing speakers, amp, and saddle bag speakers from amazon and wiring kit. The cycle shop in my town said it would cost $800-$900 to install it for me. Is this correct?
Shouldn't take 8 hours to install but you do have some cutting on the saddlebags to do for the wiring but the rest is plug n play. IF you have the tools and are handy you can conquer it yourself! Hope this helps!!
Loving that street glide. I got the hard candy red same year. Have you considered setting up a ride through some nice ride in Illinois?? Im near Chicago, riding ti starved rock is as nice as it gets lol.
I’m game for setting something up in the future! We love riding in Wisconsin that always is a great time! Your hard candy color was gorgeous that year congrats!
Love your videos, beautiful bike, and great dog!
Spring can’t get here soon enough, get that 128 in☘️
@@TorqueandPower sounds like a great ride. If you have an instagram drop it in the comments so we can follow the builds as well amd isna good way to interact. Ill keep an eye out for that wisconsin ride. Thanks man
Thank you! 128 coming up real soon!!
sweet with backrest (mustang tour), klockwerks flip windshield, custom dynamics indicators(should have been led from factory), headlight (the stock one is pitiful), a set of bars to make the bike comfortable, heel shifter, real shift pegs, hopnel highway bar leather inserts, shift linkage, and shorty antenna. all the rest is extra.
You got it down! Right on!
First thing out of the box is a road glide fairing on a tri glide. This should be a factory option.
Well ok that’s is interesting! Have you done one?
@@TorqueandPower I've seen seven done here locally in the Fort Worth Texas area, I have a pictures of one in Burleson Texas and it's quite expensive of an endeavor. One guy From Justin Texas spent 16 grand to have his done but it was definitely worth it the ride quality is unparalleled in his words.
@@pastorjohnculbertson661 that is awesome I’m going to have look that up on google ha. Never thought of that being a thing but it makes sense
@@TorqueandPower Paul in Burleson allowed me the honor of riding his down the two lane road where the tail wind off of semi's would try to drag my bat wing into on coming traffic ( worse on tri glides). When I rode the road glide fairing on the tri glide...crickets...seriously! No tail wind inertia period. It was beautiful.
@@TorqueandPower I swapped my profile pic so you can see Paul's trike.
Hey, about that shaft. They give you a kit with a longer shaft. Question, What does it take to put that longer shaft in? Taking off the cam cover is like taking apart half the engine🤪
It is a fun project and has its rewards for sure in torque and horsepower!
Got the shaft? Absolutely, all the 114 m8 got a balancing shaft. One may need an extra shaft on the foot shift 👣Or just use the shaft from the engine. Either Way
I never used the heel shifter but I see why folks use it
It’s great when you get used to it!
An antenna is an awesome weapon in the right hands , just saying 😊
That thing can be brutal ha
How would an antenna hit you in the face if its behind you when you ride?
Easy it’s not when you ride. Just cleaning and being around bike when in garage. It hurts!
@@TorqueandPower 😂😂😂 i was genuinely curious. Thanks for that laugh
Ohlin shocks f(ront and back)is in my top 3, and that's only 1.
Did you put those on the ohlins? Thoughts on it?
What color is your bike? Stock color?
Yes sir it is stock and it is called Legend Blue Denim. Special color in 2018 for the 115th anniversary!
I hate the heal shifter. I usually use the rear parts of my floorboards. It’s in the Freaking way.
👍🏻
Docking magnetic covers? Where?
Yes sir and here is the HD part number for the small #48225-10
Go to advanblack website and get some muffler alignment plates. It allows u to center your slipons in the opening
I like that thank you! Definitely checking that out!!
I know nobody wants the reflector including me…but I have mine and won’t take it off….where I live it’s a legal issue….the LEO’s can give you a ticket for not having the reflectors….
Where do you live? They really ticket you over it?
🕐No, not my antenna... Hell, the CB already got clipped LED turn signal🚦🚦humm AM/FM isn't good having too many wires It's all on the pegs What happened, broke the exhaust pipe or something?
No exhaust is good just not a fan of the antenna
That a true dual?
No it’s not Harley doesn’t make one. I’m doing Khrome Werks next and it’s not a true dual either but it is a step down exhaust. Great for power!!
You got to get some heat in your garage.
Hopefully soon!
Should change the name of this video to top 10 must do's to a touring Harley Davidson
It applies to most Harley-Davidson motorcycles just not the exact same parts but same applications.
How cold in your garage lol could see your breath
Oh it was cold ha. But it is get your Harley ready for next season here!!
@@TorqueandPower Here in Tennessee we basically get to ride year round. Don't have to worry bout 3 to 4 feet of snow like you probably do
@@TorqueandPower BTW if you look at my channel I bet you can see where I got the idea to paint my bikes front fairing . When your bike came out I stole the bar and sheild design and painted it on my bike just a lil different.
Look cold in the garage lol
Oh I’m cold ha! The heater was off so the noise didn’t come thru in the vid ha
A power commander
Tuner is a great add on!
Two things; Drink the rest of the beer and turn on the heat
👍🏼
What’s the rarest Harley in the world?…
…
A completely stock one!
So true!
The one you wish you had bought.
Sorry I'm an audio guy. Doesn't sound like your mic is on
You are correct good thing the camera mic was on ha!
Better to buy a BMW or Honda or Yamaha or Triumph....
Why? I’ve had 2 out of 4 of those brands and wouldn’t say they are better in anyway but certainly different.
New harley owner must do's: sell it as fast as possible and buy a honda😂
Had two Hondas in the past but both had some issues that needed dealer care. My Harleys have not seen a dealer repair yet. I still like Honda just not the same feeling as driving cross country as you have on a Harley-Davidson!
just buy a metric cruiser ?????????
Whatever makes you ride and smile! 😎
