- After having the bike a year I thought I would do a quick video on the modifications I have carried out on it. Playing around with the GoPro on a sunny Sunday morning I thought it might be a bit different to combine the two videos and show you a bit of the Berkshire & Oxfordshire countryside while catching up on the mods. Hope you enjoy it and its of some use to you.

What a lovely bike and your mods so tasteful too, also beautifully filmed you have a new subscriber from bham uk
Great quality mods Martin, you are going to cost me a fortune now, you have given me so many ideas, I just ordered the radiator guard that you used and I haven't even got the bike yet until Saturday!😂
I also run a car detailing channel and am always costing people money with new products I review. I hope the mods I have are giving you a few ideas as to what you can do. some you may like and some not for you. The video on the alarm siren is one to be careful about as it was a nightmare job and not one I would want to do again as it was so fiddly.
keep me up to date on collecting the bike and what your plans for it are. Martin👍
Nice mods there Martin, glad you are enjoying the bike. What a year we have had to enjoy our toys. Best wishes from Devon.
Hello Tim, thanks mate. Yep its been great riding weather. We have a static caravan in South Devon & really wanted to ride your roads this year but never got round to it. Got to get down there on my bike next year. ride safe
Very helpful, thank you. Shopping for my Dyna’s replacement now and going to look at a ‘21 Sportglide this afternoon.
All the best from an ex.pat. Londoner in Putnam Valley NY.
Hello Ian, you will love the Sport Glide. Smooth & adaptable. I think it gives you the best of everything. I have heard people say it should come with the 114 engine but I find it powerful enough and have no trouble keeping up with my Son on his Fat Bob
Great video thank you, I watched this on the day I am picking up my 2021 Sport Glide. Thank you for some ideas for the upcoming year.
you are very welcome Dan. You are going to love the bike
I love these ride-alongs Martin, so relaxing 🙂 your bike is a credit to you, love the personalisation and the passion you have for it 👌🏼👍🏼
Cheers Mark, need to get the passion back on the other channel but its a bit of an uphill battle at the moment🤷🏻♂️
@@My_bike_and_me I know the feeling Martin, I've struggle a lot with it this year but I'm in the zone at the minute!! Hopefully I can stay there lol
Great to see your content on either channel 👍🏼
Just popped over to this channel I’m not into bikes but yours does look a beast and definitely the cleanest around, I’m missing some OCD action, hope you are keeping well.
I must be childish but I thought you said ball bag risers at some point 😅
Hello Nick & welcome to my little channel, surely you're note surprised that I keep my bike clean & shiny. I have made the most of the summer on the bike and currently completing a big project in the garden but hope to get back on OCD in the very near future. Good to hear from you mate👍
Hi Martin,love the customisation you’ve done to your bike,must have set you back some money but it’s always a pleasure to see it all in the end. Ride safe!
PS. It’s good to see your son riding with you! God bless!
Thanks 👍 yep not a cheap hobby but love it. Its all about making memories. ride safe
Hello Martin, great video,there are good mods done on your bike,it helps or improve and makes it different from other bikes.
Cheers Steven, always good to hear from you mate 👍
Thanks for upload...done a number of mods myself...recent ones being the Memphis Shades handguards to take away that windchill off the hands and just waiting on some heated grips to come in and get them installed as I will be riding over Winter. Loving the Kuryakyn Hex floorboards I put on and made a recent 2200miles ride so comfy...mustache guard also handy having somewhere to stretch the legs out on as well.. I'm not going for a replacement seat yet as I find the standard one is good enough atm...but jury is still out as seats just cost sooo much. :)
There is just no end to the mods you can carry out Max to make the SG you own. Im a fair weather rider so going to give the heated hand grips a miss. Ride safe👍
Stunning machine 👍🏽
Thanks👍
Great job Sir! I've added the same HD grips and a set of Kuryakyn Hex floorboards to my SG. I also added the 4" pullback risers, what a difference they make! I also installed the Memphis Shades hand guards; they help in the cold and all year long help to deflect the road trash and hard shell bugs. 😝 I replaced the stock fairing with an El Diablo fairing from LA Fairing Co. Coupled with the upgraded risers, I have room to attach a small bag for extra bits of kit. I thought about going with the HD mustache engine guard, it looks great, but went with the Bungking crash bars instead. I like their looks and they're stronger than the HD engine guards. Thanks for sharing your mods. Deep up the great work and ride safe!
Cheers Royce & welcome to the channel. there are so many options for the Sport Glide to make it your own. I have just upgraded my horn (video to follow I hope) not for any real reason other than I was bored🤷🏻♂️. Take car and let me know of any other mods you do as its always good to get ideas from others
Thanks Martin! Will do.@@My_bike_and_me
Looking good...
Cheers Todd, how is the windshield project progressing
Bella moto 🏍 ✌️✌️
Nice vid. Love from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thank you & welcome 👍
Nice mods, new sub here. I also ride the FLHB 👊
Thanks & a warm welcome to the channel👍
Awesome looking bike, beautiful mod's. Love how youve broken the video into little chunks to explain each item, I used to have a 2018 Sport glide that was heavily modified and I very much regret selling it.... I'm not a fortune teller but I see another Sport Glide in my future very soon.
Thanks Drew, appreciate you taking the time to comment. I cant see anything in the HD range currently to tempt me to change
@@My_bike_and_me Regardless of price there is nothing as agile and as practical... and as good looking!
@@drewwilson636 sounds like me in my youth 🤣🤣
That's one cracking Sport Glide, love everything you've done to it especially the all chrome exhaust contrasting with the gloss black paint (awesome tank graphics on that model) and I'm not usually a fan of those big air cleaners but I agree it's just a perfect match here. I really enjoyed the ride too especially since your son just so happened to buy my dream bike! Do you happen to know whether he got a custom smaller license plate made, and where I might find that axle mounted plate holder? Great video thank you and belated congrats on your stunning steed!
Hello Andrew & thanks for the positive comments on my bike, appreciate it. My Son had just picked the bike up from the dealership the previous week. We both bought our bikes from Sykes in Sussex, a really great dealership that prides its self on building long term relations through great customer service. When he was enquiring about the bike he mentioned to them that he didn't like the stock number plate so they changed it free of charge.So unfortunately I have no info on it but Im guessing its an HD part🤷♂️. He has just received Vance & Hines Hi output slip on mufflers from them with a big discount. Ride safe mate👍
@@My_bike_and_me Thank you! No worries, and yeah I've seen quite a bit of Sykes around youtube, a lot of cool stuff happening there in recent years. 👍
Again a good video by you. I am thinking of buying a SG next year so your videos are a great help. Are you thinking of putting a larger screen on.
Hi Thomas, glad you liked it. Riding around on local trips the stock screen is fine and I love the look but having been on a few longer trips especially on motorways I have been looking at a bigger screen but have seen differing views & they are not cheap especially if they are shipped from the US. So I have found a reasonably cheap 12" screen that I have ordered to try out. If it does the job I may go for a better one but thought I would try it first. As soon as I get it I will do a quick video on installation
I meant to add that if you go for the Sport Glide you will love it although the LowRider ST has a 117 engine so I guess it depends on what you are looking for🤷🏻♂️
Ok watched it all and can see you gonna change exhaust so for me a bit taller screen and pretty much perfect pal!!
as you know I have played with the screen size a little but to be honest I cant complain about the stock one
Very good information. Will you be buying a higher screen.
Hi Thomas, yep I have a cheap one on order from MOTEA to see what I think. My be useful on a few road trips. I will share with you all as soon as it arrives
excellent presentation on all mods would be very interested to hear if all mods are HD and if not what other suppliers and then costs
Hi, far too many mods to go through here but if you check the videos out for each mod (and there is one for each) I say if it's HD or another supplier and a link. If you find a video that I don't give that info for then give me a shout and I will always get back to you. Hope thats of some help
Loved mine but issues with mono shock were a pain. Apparently common to the whole softail range.
so far so good
Greet video.
Thanks Stephen, hope it gave you some ideas. Ride safe
Hi what glue did you use for front fender extension please
Hi, Evo-stick "sticks like sh*t" and still working great www.screwfix.com/p/evo-stik-sticks-like-sh-t-adhesive-290ml/22070
What exhaust is on it? Cant find any cause of the O2 sensor😢

Hello, may I know where your handles come from?
Ruud
Hi, my handle bars are stock, came with the bike. The 4inch risers came from HD www.harley-davidson.com/gb/en/shop/curved-handlebar-riser-kit/p/56066-82A
Wow great mods . Where did u get all from ? And how much each mods ? Lovely Bike i like a lot . Taffy2wheels
Hi, much too much information for me to go to but if you look at my videos, I have one on each mod with links. Enjoy
@@My_bike_and_me ok thank you . Love your bike
@@taffy2wheels577 thanks, let me know how you go with mods to yours
Hi could you put a link in or part number for the mods that you have made.
If you check out my videos for each mod you will find a link to each one under the intro. any problems get back to me👍
I'm late to the party here but I'm curious about the risers. I'm 5'7" and I wasn't sure 4 inch risers would be enough for comfort. I get pain in my shoulder blades and upper back on longer rides because I'm slightly hunched. My sport glide is a 2020 and I'm just trying to figure out if I can get away with the more reasonably priced risers or do I need to upgrade the bars. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Jerry, my honest opinion is you may want to give the 6" risers a little thought if you suffer from shoulder and back pain on the longer rides. I guess you will have to decide on the look of the current bars versus whatever new bars you have in mind. Im 5'6" and I get on fine with the 4" but I don't do a lot of long rides. If I did then I would seriously consider the 6". Either case, higher bars or 6" risers you will be hit with the added expense of new longer brake & clutch cables. Hope that help a little
@@My_bike_and_me I'm less concerned with look and more concerned with comfort. I do however really appreciate you taking time to respond and I will take what you said in to account. So thank you kindly.
@@jerrywilliams198 Let me know what you decide to do Jerry and how it works out. Ride safe
@@My_bike_and_me Will do and thank you, ride safe and good travels to you. Also I really like the mods on your bike.
Excellent video! Question, I’m highly considering buying one of these. How comfortable are you with the forward foot controls? I’m 5’6 (actually closer to 5’5.5”) thanks
just ride the blood bike ? what you on about
Please, seat name? Thx 👍

Sorry, I don't mean handle bars but the handles
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. They are Airflow hand grips from Harley Davidson www.harley-davidson.com/gb/en/shop/airflow-hand-grips/p/56100218
Only thing I don’t like about your bike the sound that’s not a Harley sound to me
I had a big radius on my sportster so decided to go for a more grown up sound on this bike
Hello from Austria! ... Congratulations! ... Great looking bike with real cool mods! ... Question: 4-inch-pull-back-risers - when installing them - did you have to change the 'standard-cables' too? - are they too short for the use of these risers? ... I'm real impressed by this new LED-indicators with extra light for better visibility! (What brand is it?) ... Is this standard wind-shield tall enough for you? ... Have a great and secure bike-season 2023!✌🍀🌅🏍
Hi and a very warm welcome to the channel. No I didn't have to change either the brake or clutch cables but you would need to if you go any higher. The led indicators/daylight running lights are ProBeam. ua-cam.com/video/N0uujefXp_E/v-deo.html
