- Check out how I have transformed my 2019 Road King Special with a variety of upgrades to make it my own. Check it out and see what you may want to upgrade on your bike. Many of the upgrades are applicable to most Harley Davidson touring bikes. All the upgrades can be done in your garage with normal tools that you will find in most tool boxes. All products mentioned in the video have been purchased with my hard earned dollars.
See the card to the video I released that gives tips on how to get OEM Harley Davidson parts at discounted prices and even FREE!

What other upgrades do you guys suggest?
Looks good! Not going to change out those bars?
Maybe one day. The stock bars are terrible from a position perspective but I've gotten accustomed to them.
Floor boards and pegs from thrashers.
Another good idea. I appreciate the comments. If you haven't subscribed to the channel yet, I'd appreciate you considering doing so. Thanks so for the support. 👍👊

This is very HD, I like your screen. It is kinda unique, I would say. :) Thumb up.
That is one awesome looking RK special. I like those low profile saddlebag lights. Also the Siouxicide sissy bar I have would look killer on the Road King.
I've seen those sissy bars. They are awesome and give a mean look. Thanks for your support via your watch and comment. Much appreciated. Ride safe 👊👍
Beautiful bike man ! I had a 2016 RK Special and I often wish that I still had it. Custom Dynamics makes a great product for sure 👊👍
Easy to install and added safety. Get lit up and be seen.
😍 beautiful looking bike man 🤘
Thanks
That's cool !
Thanks for watching. Much appreciated. Ride safe 👊👍
Great video. I had considered the wind splitter windshield for my road king special, but decided to go with the Memphis shades batwing . Still thinking about getting the windshield so I can switch between the two.
I like the windsplitter a lot. I saw your video on the Memphis shades fairing. In my case if I want to go fairing and have more wind protection I take the Street Glide Special that day.

Thanks. I appreciate the support. Check out my Patriot Guard Mission video. It was emotional making it and shows what the Patriot Guard and St Louis did to honor one of the 13 fallen heros KIA Afghanistan.
👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If you haven't already, I'd appreciate you subscribing.
Thanks
@@HDVIBE Will do, thank 🙏
@@HDVIBE Gotcha, subbed.
Moto Mike 805 recommended your channel!
Glad he did ……….good stuff - you got a new sub here!!
Thanks for the kind words and support. Hope you check out a few of the videos. The Patriot Guard Mission video is the one I am most proud of to date. It shows what the Patriot Guard does everyday here in St Louis and around the country to honor the fallen heros. I hope you get a chance to view it. It's moving and it was very emotional as I pulled it together.
Ride safe

Nice bike and video! I just stumbled upon your channel. Look forward to seeing more content. Nice finding other channels with motorcycle related content. Keep it up!
I'm glad you found it. More videos coming. If you haven't already, check out the Patriot Guard Mission video. So far that is the video that I am the most proud to have put out.
Thanks for the support.
Rick
@@HDVIBE Will do. I'll check it out now!
@@MotoMike805 I'm jealous of you warm climate guys. My riding season is winding down soon here in the midwest...winter sucks.
@@HDVIBE One of the very very few good things about living in California. LOL! Wife and I have been looking at housing around the county. It's just getting too expensive to live here.
I can imagine. I lived in Houston for 4 years. I loved it. Warm weather, big city and very reasonable cost of living.
Just subscribed! 😀🔥🙌🏼
Thanks. Much appreciated as I get my channel rolling. Hope you check out my videos especially the Patriot Guard Rider Mission I recently completed and released the video documenting what the missions are about and how St Louis came together to honor a fallen hero.
Dude, hey I just got your letter, thank you. That seat looks really good. Im gonna have to look into that.
Thanks for checking out the channel. I very much appreciate your support. Ride safe...well in the spring. Happy new year 👍👊🇺🇸
@@HDVIBE happy New year to you as well. That seat is sold out at the moment 🤷♂️
Saddlemen is about 8 weeks out on production. They are working with me on future channel content. All the seats are made to order as well. Check out my more recent video on the 1,000 mile review of the SDC. Hope to have you as a subscriber. Thanks so much.
Nothing wrong with stock bro.
I got mine to ride. Ha
Rear suspension: If I had a wish list I'd have AIR RIDE on my list. It's cool when guys shut off their bike and it lowers way down.
Your seat definitely looks way more comfy than mine.
Your visibility is top notch from your custom dynamics install.
I know it's not really supposed to be the highlight of your video but I like your garage too.
Thanks brother. It's my harley garage/UA-cam Studio 1A...lol
Belíssima!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting. If you have already subscribed to the channel thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed I'd appreciate it if you'd consider doing so. Ride safe. 👊👍
Thank you for the support sir. Let me be your 46th=)
Thanks for the support
Really loved the upgrades! Very cool, namely the CD lights! But what cached my attention was the rug in HD colors. Where can I order one?
Liked and subscribed.
Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Ride safe and thanks for the support.👊👍
Since you got revo on the other bike. Put Wilber’s on this one and do a comparison video.
That's an idea. I'll look into the possibility. Thanks for watching. Ride safe 👍👊
I WISH my shift linkage was up there.
(My Indian linkage is underneath)
Hi Rick ! Not sure if you have this bike any longer but, did you considered powder coating the chrome flanges on the wind splitter ? Just a gorgeous bike. Hope all is well my great friend ....
Hey Tom I have heard of others doing that on that chrome piece. I didn't do that but maybe the new owner has. Ride safe and enjoy. 👊👍🇺🇸
Have you done any riding with the backrest up some? or all of the way up? If so, how's the comfort level? I just ordered the seat and am hoping I like the feel of the backrest. The versatility/looks of this particular set up is what drew me to it so fingers crossed, otherwise I'll just sell it!
I have not ridden with it up higher than the lowest setting. When it is moved up, it will move your back forward a few inches or make you sit straighter. Overall I am very happy with the seat and I will try it soon with the back rest up higher. I do ride with the back rest on it all the time.
Thanks for checking out the video. I have a follow up on the seat coming out soon.
How far out before you get the seat? Over the summer it took about 5 or 6 weeks before I got it.
If you haven't subscribed to the channel I'd appreciate you doing so if your so inclined. That helps get the videos pushed out by UA-cam so more people can find them.
Thanks
Also check out the video I did specifically on the seat. It will give you a bit more insight. Also, like I mentioned, I will put out another video soon giving my thoughts on the seat after riding with it for a month or so and about 1,000 miles
Thanks
Hows the exhaust...you should start it up
Exhaust sound is deep and sounds good. I didn't record the exhaust as it's always difficult to capture good sound via a video. Overall I'm please with the sound output and we shall see from a finish perspective how these Shark Roads hold up. Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support and your comment.👍👊🇺🇸
Rick, does that wind splitter do anything to help buffeting? I’ve been considering it, but will have to customize a little with my Carlini bars and their placement (not moving). Let me know your thoughts when you can.
I'm 5'10 and I get zero buffeting. I like it alot but obviously I have stock bars so it was easy install.
Hey, I run this same set up on my 19 rks all except I’m running 18” apes. I run the vent half open for the best result. My handle bar grips do sit about 2” above the top of the windshield, I could see that having an affect on my windsplitters performance. I highly recommend this shield since it’s blacked out & performs well, the only thing I recommend is having the damn chrome mounting brackets powder coated black.
Thanks Trent for watching and commenting. I really like thr wind splitter and run with the vent half open as well. I also agree on the chrome hardware on the windsplitter...just doesn't make any sense to me. If you have already subscribed to the channel thank you. If not. I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Ride safe and enjoy the ride. 👊👍
Hey bud, love the road king! I have the same exact bike and I love it. I know you’re not interested in messing with the motor due to voiding the warranty, but if you change your mind or when the warranty expires you should really look into the S&S 475cam. I have one on my road king and if you pair that with a tune and full exhaust, it REALLY wakes the bike up. I have a video on my channel doing a quick ride along and walk around of my bike with the mods if you’d like to check it out! Obviously the video doesn’t really do it justice for the sound but maybe you could notice it just a little bit. Sweet ride though I look forward to more videos from you
I appreciate the insights. I have heard the 475 cam does wonders. I will check put your video as well.
Thanks for the support
👊
Did you change out the bars? I have stock bars on mine and the position they put your hands in is odd. It takes a bit for me to adjust when I go from my Street Glide Special to the Road King Special
@@HDVIBE It has the 14 inch KST straight jacket bars. They also work fine with the Harley Davidson wind splitter. I’m about 6’2 and they’re PERFECT for me. Not an issue whatsoever. Works better for not only comfort but handling as well
Great looking bike Rick and great looking garage. How did you do the floor? Love the channel
Thanks. The floor is a snap together 12"x12" squares that I ordered online. I think each square is around $2.50.
@@HDVIBE awesome thanks, plan to search for some

Nice bike. I am upgrading my these days. What is the saddlebag guard add-on protection I see them you attached to the guard. Where did you get them?
Thanks for watching and great question. Those are called ProCrash Guard protectors. You can find them on Ebay and they are around $30 for the set. I use them on the bike when I'm doing slow speed skills just in case I drop the bike. It's peace of mind with very low cost. They are actually just hard somewhat flexible plastic that slip on. I appreciate the support and hope consider subscribing to the channel if you haven't already. Ride safe 👍👊🇺🇸
@@HDVIBE Thank you so much. Good channel and contents. Subscribed
Thanks so much for the support. Much appreciated 👊
What seat model is that? I like it.
It's Saddlemens San Diego Customs seat. Check out the other video on the channel that's called new seat reveal
Thanks for checking out the channel. I'd appreciate a subscribe. The content will feature the Road King and Street Glide Special.
Hi, I’m 5.11” & I got 2 windshields 1 is 16” & the other is 18” while they stop the wind in my chest, it increased the wind buffeting to a point where I can ride it any more, how’s ur windshield splitter, is it true that if u ride with the middle vent open u get no wind buffeting?
It works great for me. I ride with it at highway speeds and no issues up to 80 + mph. I usually leave the slot about half open. I'm 5'10 for reference.
@@HDVIBE thanks
@@orlandofranco9910 No problem. Glad you checked put the channel. If you haven't I'd appreciate a subscribe if you haven't already. Glad to help.
i would subscribe but your from missouri...so no
I live in Missouri but I've lived in several states over the years including Illinois, Kansas, Texas, Nebraska and Missouri. Hope you have a Happy New Year. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸
@@HDVIBE shoulda said so..
