I agree. I had a Road Glide Special but traded it. Miss it and it was a mistake selling it. I will have one again. I had the 2017 with the hard candy custom paint.
And you forgot to mention a major difference : the standard RoadGlide comes with a YELLOW cloth covering the licenseplate, while the RoadGlide Special has a BLUE one! That being said, I wish you guys lots of fun and happy and healthy riding together!! Greetings from the Netherlands 😎👍🤘🇳🇱
I have the 50 cal on my 2023 Road Glide ST, and I love them. It's great that you and your brother ride the Road Glides. They are beautiful works of art.
I think both bikes are dope!! I think it really just comes down to personal preference, it’s all about how you adapt your style into your bike. But otherwise both great bikes take care of them and they will take care of you. Ride safe out there bro
G’day Blake, great video on the 2 bikes. Who cares what you buy & ride as long as you love it. It’s the 1st time I’ve watched your videos & I have liked it & subscribed to your channel. Keep on doing videos & I’ll watch them. ( & yes I’m from Australia ). I ride a 2019 Street Glide Special with a few mods & engine upgrades, & I love it. At the end of the day who cares what Harley you ride, the fact that you ride is the main thing. Cheers Macca - from Down Under…
best part on your brothers bike is he changed the awful looking backrest emblem,to the cvo style 😉, me too finally i seen someone else do it!.. that standard is sweed black and chrome on point!
Great video. I've tried other HD's, but always come back to the Road Glide - the best model Harley makes IMO. I just bought another RG STD for a project bike I'm building with Blockhead Moto.
amazing the difference between your bikes and mine, I have the 2022 road glide Limited, with the 114 its water cooled. just subscribed to your UA-cam keep the videos going....
Love my 2021 RG standard. Had her 7 months already and got 3K miles racked up. Fixing to stage 2 to give me a little more up and go. 107 is sufficient, but a zipper’s 468 cam should make her just right.
Nice video. I like them both. Personally, I think the 107 is more than enough motor for cruising. The extra bling in the special is very nice but I would not pay it.
Yes definitely, there is a very minimal feeling difference between the 114 n the 107 on the RG. It is nice but you can also add that stuff on for way cheaper if you really want it
To be respectful, I will never try to force my view to any one in what to buy. However, some bikes sometimes do need a little mods to make it more enjoyable for the rider. Sor example, One of the first mods I did to my 09 RK was to change the handle bars. I could have gone perfect fit but it would set me back about 1k. Instead, I just purchased a Heritage handles and the fit improved drastically. The mod was only $100 because there was no need for cable or other hardware. The fit is not perfect but was major improvement over stock. I was very happy with it. Adjusting the shifting and brake distance makes a big difference. The price is minimal and it is a must when I acquire a new (to me) bike. This is basic principal in any bikes. I own six. Two adventure types bmw, Ducati 1198,RC 51, Yamaha 400 moped (majesty) and Road King. By the way, the HD is the favorite of my family. I tend to agree.
I ask so bought a 2018 RG standard 107 and over the past 5 hrs I have added parts and accessories. My standard now looks like a RG limited with a stage 2 kit and up graded stereo and speakers. It maybe a standard but it’s payed off and I love all my up grades.
I have a 2021 Street Glide as one of my 3 Harley's, i purchased last fall and i looked at both the Special & the Standard and i chose the standard. Why? Well they were just shy of $6500 difference and for me, the differences was just not worth it. For the $6500 difference, i was able to upgrade the following Cobra Headers Cobra Neighbor Hater mufflers SE Ventilator Air Cleaner (Same filter that comes with the Special, but the Special is disposable paper media, the SE is reusable) SE Tuner (Full stage 1) Purchased colour matched lowers from Advanblack (they dont work on the crash bars on a special, the crash bar needs to be changed to the standard anyway) Advanblack colour matched Dash (Colour matched to my paint, not the glossy black that reflects the sun in your face that comes with the Special) Advanblack colour matched quick release Chopped Tour Pack SE Cam 447 (torque Cam) SE Lifters SE Push Rods SE Cam Plate & Oil Pump. Harley Grips Upgraded LED from Ciro 3D Mustang Seat (With removable passenger seat) So the black gauges, the 114 M8, the stretched bags along with the glossy dash were not all that important, for the same money, i got far more useful items. I also have a 2009 Rocker C & 2014 Dyna Wide Glide Dont let peer pressure or the dealer push you into wasting your money on a Special. The dealers talk so many people into the Special, not because the customer needs it, but they hype it up so the make a bigger sale. Special is not worth the extra to me, but maybe to someone else it is and they can spend they money how they choose.
Keep posting man. My social media checks pay for my bike fuel. 93 where im at is $5.65. My tip for you if you stick to just bikes I promise your channel will take off. Visuals were good Audio was good Content was good
I have a 2017 RGS and it looks like your standard same wheel same gauges (white ) crash bar it’s good for fairing lowers same gas cap cover I do have the gloss black dash though and I have the 107 with velocity Red sunglo paint,both your bikes are nice rides nice video
Been riding for 40 years and I can buy whatever I wanted from Harley. I bought the standard because the special, tho beautiful is just throwing your money away. Get a good stage one tune and you’ll blow the special out of the water. The all black gets old.
Yes it does. And definitely with my family we all have a variety. I have a standard by brother and uncle have RGS uncles is crazy, and then my other uncle has a cvo RG!
you missed a couple things, the GTS radio is standard on the FLTRXS, the GTS is a $900 option on the FLTRX, also the FLTRXS comes with a much more open air cleaner, and the FLTRXS is pretty hard to get with out the RDRS system.
Good looking bikes! I’ve always wondered why people covered their license plates. I don’t think you cover them riding around in public. I’m just thinking out loud.
if i wouldve had the choice i wouldve gotten a special. but they had this standard for a good price, and i wanted one bad, i love that its base tho i can completely make the bike mine
It’s a drag specials predator seat! It’s not terrible but it’s not the most comfortable thing, but it’s nice it holds you tight when you rip it and is great for backin the bike up because of how low it covers
Take the money you saved and put in a Cam, a front and rear Legend suspension and a dynotune and you'll ride better, sound better and fly past him on the highway. I'm a "standard" owner myself and that's what I did
i get the standard and the 5,000 dollar i saved i put in to the bike to make it mine upgrade the suspension to legends or air ride there's really good amps and speakers there's a lot you can do with the 5,000 just what i do
HA!! It almost sounds like your the only one that has a problem with the standard. Throw a stage 3 in that and you could care less about the trim your missing.
Simple and short ,,straight up 👍🏻
You're right they are both incredibly gorgeous bikes. I have an RG Special and love it but I could easily be on a standard and never look back.
Definitely bro
I agree. I had a Road Glide Special but traded it. Miss it and it was a mistake selling it. I will have one again. I had the 2017 with the hard candy custom paint.
Great job. Nice video! I like them both!
I like your standard better, myself. Sweet ride! ☮️
Good Stuff man. Bought my first HD last year. A 21 Road Glide standard with the 107 CI. Gauntlet Grey Metallic. I love this bike.
Awesome dude! Congrats
Definitely a great video just picked up a 2023 standard I’m content with the choice I made both bikes are 🔥🔥🔥👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
And you forgot to mention a major difference : the standard RoadGlide comes with a YELLOW cloth covering the licenseplate, while the RoadGlide Special has a BLUE one! That being said, I wish you guys lots of fun and happy and healthy riding together!! Greetings from the Netherlands 😎👍🤘🇳🇱
haha thanks bro!
Y’all made the right choice in buying Roadglides , excellent video 👍
Definitely, I almost went with a low rider st but was like man I know after a month I’m going to want a bagger so I just jumped straight to it
I went with a 21 RGS. 1st harley ever and love it. Definitely not looking back. Ride safe bro🤙🏽
Hell yeah! You too bro
Both bikes are gorgeous!
Thank you!
I prefer the chrome pipes of the standard. It sets off the black paint
Both are nice bikes, its something about the way a Road Glide looks.. and congrats you are well over 500 views now

I'm a plain kinda guy . Standard is way I'd go

Standard is a better deal because Harley isn't chosen my upgrades at their shitty price!
No shame in the standard. At all!!!! Be proud of what you work for.
thanks man!
Bikes look awesome 👊
Thanks man
Both nice bikes! Who cares what everyone else thinks!
The only thing that matters is that you and bro get to hang out. I super envy you bro. Create memories with him.
It’s for sure awesome! We just bought our first house together as well!
Both nice bikes
I’d actually like to see/hear the difference between the pipes, thank you
Thank you for watching” Tj Stepp”. I will for sure!
beautiful bikes bud.
Thank you
The only thing I want more than my brother to have a road glide would be for me to have a road glide
I know I’m glad me and him can experience it together. I hope you do as well one day!
Two very cool bikes!
I ask so bought a 2018 RG standard 107 and over the past 5 hrs I have added parts and accessories. My standard now looks like a RG limited with a stage 2 kit and up graded stereo and speakers. It maybe a standard but it’s payed off and I love all my up grades.
Definitely bro. I’m looking to just build mine for a lifetime bike
Awesome video. I had a hard time deciding between the standard, special and the st. Roadglides in any trim are sick👌🏻
Thanks bro! Definitely easy choice with bike hard with trim lol
Love them bad boys
Thank you bro!

SE Cam 447 (torque Cam)

SE Cam Plate & Oil Pump.
Harley Grips
Upgraded LED from Ciro 3D

So the black gauges, the 114 M8, the stretched bags along with the glossy dash were not all that important, for the same money, i got far more useful items.
I also have a 2009 Rocker C & 2014 Dyna Wide Glide
Dont let peer pressure or the dealer push you into wasting your money on a Special. The dealers talk so many people into the Special, not because the customer needs it, but they hype it up so the make a bigger sale. Special is not worth the extra to me, but maybe to someone else it is and they can spend they money how they choose.

You got any ideas for new videos?

Same here with my 2017 RGS
Yeah. It just goes by the years the newer the more stuff gets added to each bike and their trim. But thank you man! Ride safe

Love my RG special
Best Harley’s in my opinion!

I’ve always wondered why people covered their license plates. I don’t think you cover them riding around in public.
I’m just thinking out loud.
thanks bro, im not sure lol i've just seen other people do it and being new to making videos i was like better safe than sorry
Privacy issue. People can acquire information from your plate
Both are beautiful bike but I’m a chrome kind of girl.
Haha Chrome is the way!
I prefer yours . More class .. enjoy .
What screens do you have on your road glides please?
Clockwerks sport on the RGS, Memphis shades 9inch on the standard
Thank you for the review it helps a lot. Also what made you choose the standard over the special ?
if i wouldve had the choice i wouldve gotten a special. but they had this standard for a good price, and i wanted one bad, i love that its base tho i can completely make the bike mine
How are you liking the saddleman seat. I've been wanting to get one.
This actually isn’t a saddle man! It’s a drag specialties predator seat
@@blakedingo4455 my bad
Them black bikes r beauts! Yea!
Thanks dude!
@@blakedingo4455 U r welcome, man!
Specials also don't have saddle guards, for some reason.
I put those on their myself should’ve made that clear! Sorry man
What seat is that on the Standard? Nice one.
It’s the drag specialties predator seat!
Does the RG Standard come in men’s? lol, just teezing dude, awesome bikes!
😂😂😂 thanks bro
Thanks for sharing.. quick question.. what bars are you guys running? What is the height?? Thanks again
On the standard they are 12 inch fat bagger bars, on the special they are 12 in factory 47 bars
Thanks Man!! Very much appreciated
Thanks for the 500 views on the first video VS thanks for the 29k views lol
Subbed , let me know if your bro is selling those stock wheels ?
Thanks and for sure dude
Lit
Fine motorcycles. What is the price difference between the two?
A decent amount few grand atleast
I prefer the matt black.
Yeah it’s really 50/50. White or black gauges though?
Both beautiful bikes , what seat u have on your RG also is it comfy ?
It’s a drag specials predator seat! It’s not terrible but it’s not the most comfortable thing, but it’s nice it holds you tight when you rip it and is great for backin the bike up because of how low it covers
@@blakedingo4455
Ok thanks brother ride safe !
I see on your standard you have crash bars on the bags. Was that standard?
they weren't just some cheap ones from amazon as well lol
I like your bike better. Honestly!
They also have different rear shocks.
Thank you for the knowledge man!
what seat do you have on the standard
Drag specialties predator seat!
What size bars? They look great
Both have 12’s special has factory 47. Standard has Fat Baggers!
I know the special comes with ABS brake system, does the standard comes with the ABS brake system?
Yes sir
What is size of handlebars on both
The standard has a set of fat bagger 12”. The special has Factory 47 12” set!
Missed the bars on the bags of the standard
Do a roll race with your brother…see if the 107 competes with the 114
Dude I will for sure, thanks for the idea!
Take the money you saved and put in a Cam, a front and rear Legend suspension and a dynotune and you'll ride better, sound better and fly past him on the highway. I'm a "standard" owner myself and that's what I did

Definitely that’s my plan bro make it soemthing truly custom instead of buying a CVO n such
Bro why’d you guys pick road glides over street glides?
What’s the name of the bars on your brothers bike ??? And what inch height r they ???
12” factory 47 signature bars
@@blakedingo4455 Tab just came out with some nice looking bars, I'm running their pipes and may go with those bars. Check em out
$10,000 and a lot of shit most people don't want or need.
Yesir. That’s why they make different trims!
Big price difference between the two
Sport glide Special. Batwing looks better.
Everyone’s got their own opinion brother!
Yall be hiding license plates they are not public records that's the dumbest shit ever. Your plates are public records ijs.
Nice
HA!! It almost sounds like your the only one that has a problem with the standard. Throw a stage 3 in that and you could care less about the trim your missing.
I know lmao
Wrong. You get two boom front speakers without amplifier on road glide special 2021-2022.
Rockford stage 2 from factory on road glide CVO 2022.
Thanks for the knowledge man! Had gotten them confused
It’s a way for Harley to overcharge
It’s not 500 u got 47k views 👍🏻
