Picking up mine Saturday in Crimson Red. Nice content thanks for sharing looking forward to learning more about the bike. Thanks! Subbed!
Thanks man! And that read is beautiful!! Congrats!
Lovin' your videos, RD. I'm new to Harleys and the Low Rider S, and I'm not a very experienced mechanic. Your videos have really helped with identifying potential upgrades, the tools needed for them, etc. I was one of those who felt kind of "scrunched" on this bike, with the low seat, high pegs, mid-controls and motocross-style bars. Took me awhile to get both the ride fitment and the aesthetics where I want them, but it's now pretty close. So far, I've done:
-- Saddlemen Step Up seat. Love it!
-- Drag Specialties 4.5" pullback risers (I wanted to get the bars closer to me without adding height. These helped the fit, with about 1.5" of pullback and only slightly taller than the stock bars. The 4.5" risers didn't require longer brake or clutch cables or extensions).
-- Kuraykn floorboards (I tried these kind of out of desperation, because I hated the OEM foot position but didn't want to go to forward controls unless that proved to be the only option to get comfortable. The floorboards fit that purpose. While they are the only upgrade I've done that I'm not super happy about aesthetically, they really helped on comfort. I can move my legs both forward and back over a much wider range than with the stock pegs.
The above three really helped with the poor fit and discomfort issues. In addition:
-- Flo Motor Sports shifter
-- Ends Cuoio leather saddlebags (Because they're leather, they're not as functional, or as spacious, as your hard bags, but they have decent capacity and look great on the bike. You can get them with or without locks.
-- Harley sissybar and pad
-- Passenger pegs
That may be it for a while. I've been mulling a Stage III kit, though I may wait and see whether you do the new cam on yours and hear what you think of it before deciding whether to splurge on the Stage III.
Thank you man! I’m glad my videos helped you. Your bike sounds pretty sweet now. I love the ends cuoio bags...almost got them for my fat bob when I had it. They seem to be really high quality. I appreciate you watching and interacting! I’m glad the low rider fits you comfortably man. And as far as the cam goes....I’m still debating lol. I’ll make up my mind soon I promise lol
So happy to see your channel growing and almost to 500! 🎉
Me too ! Lol thank you!
I think it would be cool to do a video on what gear you have! I just bought my jacket, gloves and boots yesterday! Getting closer 😁
Awesome!!! I definitely will. I just wanted to get through this trip and make sure the gear I have with something I could get behind and then in every video I’m going to have all the links all the time after I do the first initial video showing what I had. Everything I had worked great and was extremely comfortable and I definitely would recommend
Awesome seeing you twice in one day. Sweet bike man 🤘
Of course man! Thanks dude, I appreciate that! And thanks for saying hey!! Safe riding to you guys and enjoy the rest of your trip! We got caught in awful rain and fog the last half of the day. Hoping for Clear skies tomorrow 🤞🏼
That intro is hilarious, I subscribed before I even watched the video
Lol, thanks man! I'm pretty proud of it lol
First video of yours I’ve seen, you funny as hell for that intro bro lmao
Thank you man LOL. I appreciate that!!! I’m pretty happy with how it turned out 😂
Nice bike and vid! Love that little bar bag. Subbed :)
Thank you!!! 👊🏻
Would you please just give me a small tease of the shock upgrade? Specifically the difference at 70 mph straight down the hwy? I do like how you're wanting to put some time in before an in depth review. Thanks!
It’s hard to describe for straight line stuff. It feels solid. No squishy at all just feels planted. Absorbs bumps and road deformations very well and much better than stock man
@@RidinDad Thanks bro!!
My pleasure! 👊🏻
With those drag specialities risers, did you use the stock clamp bolts, if not, what size bolts did you use? Mine are 5/16-18 by 1.25" (or thereabouts), but I think I need 1" long bolts. They seem to bottom out in the riser, but I am not sure and I don't want to force it and snap off a bolt in the riser.
Yes, I used the same stock bolts that were on the bike prior to swapping it out. There’s probably a good chance that there’s a bunch of dried Loctite in there so what I recommend is getting a wire brush or a thread cleaner and cleaning out the holes and then using compressed air and spraying in there to get all of the debris out and cleaning out the bolts and then try again, I think that will probably fix your issue
Just found you & subscribe a like all things to do with the 2020
Low rider you’ve done some nice touches to it do you not fancy
Forward controls ,, all the best from England 🇬🇧🍺👍🏻
Thank you!! 👊🏻
Why did you choose the ‘high’ crash bar over the normal highway crash bar?
I like the way it looks better, it fits my shorter legs better and less chance of scraping. Buddy has the low one on his low rider and he’s scraped it around corners before
Great bike and content! Many thx for sharing!!
Thank you!
Just subbed. I’m new to Harley. I’m leaning towards this bike in the next month or two. No complaints so far?
Thank you!!! My only complaint is that it makes you wanna go fast lol. This bike is amazing and I love it man. I would recommend to everyone who enjoys spirited riding!
For the 6” risers did you have to use any cable and/or wire extenders or were the existing cables and wires long enough with the higher risers?
Stock brake cable-just at its limit now for sure. And extensions on all handlebar electrics
Clutch could make due re routing through triple trees but it’s still a little tight for my liking and looks bad so I bought a new clutch cable. Can’t remember the length but it was about 3/4 inches longer
Hey, thanks for the videos. Just wanted to make sure I understood what was required in changing the risers. Everything is stock, except for the clutch cable? What is the part number for the extended clutch cable at magnum shielding? Thanks
I honestly have no clue and I don’t remember. It was something that was made in a custom cart for me from get lowered. If you call the guys at get lowered and tell them what you are doing they will help you out very well and quick like they did for me I’m sure. The only thing that is stock in my set up is the brake cable. I had to get the Harley extension kits for all the electronics including the switches and turn signals.
And also, in the video you state that the risers are 6", I only find 5.5" or 6.5".
From what I recall they were 6 inches even. But my memory could be wrong honestly. It’s been so long since I did the install
Nice build so far bro any way you have a part number or website for the saddlebag set up ?
Thanks man! And not off band. But it’s super easy to find. Almost harleys should be dealers and if you just google saddleman step up you’ll definitely find it. You can customize it a million ways too
Hahaha oh not the seat bro the saddlebags those bars the ones I’ve been trying to find also thanks for getting back to me
Damn dude. I’m not sure how I missed read that that bad LOL my bad man. The bags are from FXR division. They have a website and it’s the only set of bags they have and obviously it’ll be specific to your style of bike you are looking for them. And mine specifically are wrapped in a gloss black wrap to match the bike they just come in a primer coat paint finish on the fiberglass. I love the bags and I do have a video devoted to them completely on my Lowrider build series playlist.
And the bars are the same exact bars that were on the bike stock but the risers are just a real generic drag specialty riser I think it was either six or 6 1/2 inch whatever those ones are from drag specialties I think it was like 40 bucks maybe and the 1 inch pull back on them, and the top clamp is the same clamp they came stock for the bike. I’m going to head and did some alloy art good and tight bushings to improve to feel as well
some great ideas for my bike - great vlog
Thank you man!
Nice videos Dad, absolutely subscribed! Wondering you say Drag Specialties 6 inches risers but I only can find 5,5 or 6,5 tall. Is it one of these or did you find one that's exactly 6? Almost same height as you so I'm keeping yours a reference lol
Thanks man! And they were probably the 6.5’s
Thank you sir! Maybe you still remember the clutch cable lenght too? :)
It was 70 11/16 from magnum Sheilding 😎
@@RidinDad Thanks man!
👊🏻
Your intro is great !!
Thank you! Lol
What risers do you have on your bike? Thank you in advance for your answer.
Just some cheap drag specialties. I can’t remember if they’re 6 or 6.5 inches but they have an inch pull back too
Wow. That intro. 👍
Hell yeah! Thanks!! 👊🏻
hey dude my 2020.. has that nasty dent where the left fuel gauge should of been! where did you get the cap from?
If that’s how you bought it new you need to take that back asap lol. They come with a “dummy” cap on the left side. Basically just double sided tape keeps it on. I’m not aware of anyone besides Harley that sells replacements for that specific style
Where did you get the handlebar bag ?
They sell it everywhere. It’s thrashing supply brand. They have a few different sizes
I wish you wouldn't say queue that intro. Also, doesn't any tuner but the screaming eagle auto tuner invalidate the warranty?
Alrighty. And yeah, pretty much. Why?
@@RidinDad I was just curious as why you wouldn't use the auto tuner from H-D
Did you watch any of my videos on the power vision? My train of thought has always been not to buy inferior products just to maintain a warranty. In my experience 9/10 no one needs to use the warranty. There’s a reason big builds don’t use H-D/screamin eagle parts: they do not perform as well as other aftermarket ones. I buy the bike because I like it and want it. I’ll buy what I want for the bike because I like it and want it, NOT just to keep a warranty. Look at most of the guys that get H-D parts.....after the warranty expires they usually buy other better parts not from H-D.
And the screamin eagle has a regular tuner and they have an available auto tune add on to it. And typically a self install voids warranty anyway with most dealers.
@@RidinDad Thanks for the honest answer.This is video number 2 that I watch so the answer is no, I haven't watched more of your content. I am just about to pull the trigger on a new LR s 2021so was genuinely interested in why you chose to do what you did. I will have a look on your spiel about tuners etc. P.S. I am also so grateful that you don't do that stupid shit with putting your palm on the lens when you are ready to cut.
Drop a S&S 475 cam in and really wake it up...... until then, your just fiddlin.... also, throw a set of EBC HH pads on the front.....lastly, a pair of shorty levers from whiplash speed company.
I have short levers from lss installed right now. I’m planning on doing a cam at some point man.
Does your crash bar hit your front fender?
Not even close. It’s literally made for these bikes. No issues with anything at all
That ram mount killed my iPhone 11 Pro Max camera system. The vibration on the low rider s is too much for it.
Did you not have the vibration dampener? Since I got the newer phone I bought the anti vibration attachment and I’ve ridden 2k plus miles with it no issuesp
@@RidinDad Ram makes one? can you share, I need one. I have the extra large claw mount, it took over 2k miles for the camera to go bad.
My bad man. Thought you were commenting on the video I did all about my preferred phone mount. I currently use the ram ball on the bike with the quad lock phone attachment and the anti vibration mount from quad lock. Works great and secure.
@@RidinDad got it, i'm gonna have to switch to quad lock as well.
What are your feelings on having the Pro Vision Tuner given the warranty void from Harley if not using their pro tuner? I would really prefer to have the Vision / Target package but only if can absolutely trust that the factory tune can truly be written back to ecm before a service (i.e. no flags will thrown once hooked up to computer at a dealership).....Cheers, appreciate the videos.
From what I hear once the Ecu is tuned even if it’s tuned back, the dealership will know it was messed with regardless of what tune is on it at the time. And my feelings..? The warranty will expire anyway. I say buy what you want the first time. Don’t settle for sub par just to keep a warranty that’s gonna expire in a few years
Looking to buy me one just not wanting a 2020 only got 6500 do you got any suggestions
Do you want to stick with this style of a cruiser from Harley? If so the only think I can think in the 6500 range would be a pretty used dyna. You would probably have to put a nice chunk of money in to it to. Perform like these m8’s
I got the same bike and love it. I got completely different mods than yours, maybe I will make a video too :)
That would be sweet! Is yours the same year too?
Ridin Dad it is
Ridin Dad my father in law custom extended my sissy bar 6 more inches and it looks awesome!
My bad man I thought you just commented on my new bike reveal video lol. That’s why I asked the year question. Of course it’s the same year for the low rider s lol. Did you go old school cruiser style?
Ridin Dad almost. I wish I could upload a pic of it
She looks great!!! Have you broken in that seat yet to say if you like it? I enjoy your vids but can't say I watch due to the way you talk... Bahaha
What’s wrong with the way I talk?
And yes. This is my second step up one different bikes and both broken in I like them
@@RidinDad well you're a dude, so...
@@harleydave2316 Not even worth replying, but what lol? This guy is awesome why the hate... seems like a down to earth dude. Anyway, I have a silver low rider s and I love it. Thanks for the reviews on the products! It is really helping me decide on what I should by.
@@anthonydaily7607 Well you took that the wrong way... He made a joke at the end saying something thanks for watching unless you're here for the way I talk. Then I joked back as the state farm commercial 'well you're a dude soo'. Maybe I have dry humor but there was no hate coming from me. I actually enjoy his vids quite a bit!!
Hel yeahh
👊🏻 new up to date upgrades video coming in a few weeks! Lots of new stuff!
@@RidinDad wow I look forward to seeing them, however you have done a crazy job i love it👌💪
Thank you! 🤙🏼
I'd take the headlight cover off , to me it looks silly on a softail.
What headlight cover? Do you mean the fairing?
@@RidinDad .... Yes, if you want to call it a faring .
I like the fairing a lot. I’m a fan of club style bikes. That’s part of what drew me to the low rider s to begin with
And it helps with wind at highway speeds. For me, the air comes on just at the helmet which I like for ventilation in Florida
@@RidinDad .... If you like it thats fine but I think it doesn't go with the bike at all and looks silly . We all have different opinions .
