Hi love your channel,I have a 17 rks .I installed the same mustang seat, the original was terrible.I alsolike the phone mount must look into it.Thanks again & safe travels.
Ah cheers for taking time to comment . We appreciate that ! Yeah it’s a good seat eh . As I said I’d never had a phone , but man it makes life easier .. cheers bud . Best wishes.
Great insight into much needed accessories mate . Well delivered too. Food for thought going into my 1st season on the RK. 👍👍 Love that jacket too btw . 💯
I have those heated grips on mine, I never have to use them over setting 3 ( reckon they would melt my gloves on full 😅 !) One good bit of advice is to always turn them off when you switch of the Bike as they draw a lot of current and the minute you turn on the ignored they start draining the battery, if the battery is getting low you could be stranded or need a jump start ! Another great vid 👍keen them coming.

@@arthurchance8903 sorry I not done a video on that .. there must be lots online , It was pretty straight forward.. the only confusing part was the light stays on the quad lock charger when ignition is off .. but that light only stays on until battery drops below a certain level , can’t remember the number but not much , so I can see people may think they fitted it wrong as light could stay on for good few hours after you turn key off . If that makes sense .
Have had my quad lock on the top of the handlebars and hated it then just came across your channel and ordered the 10mm spacer with I didn’t know they did, cheers bud 👍
What about the driving lights on the highway bars? Really like those. Looking into getting the higher sissy bar. All I find is the pointy ones and not a fan of those . Ive got a 2022 RK Special in Midnight Crimson, stage 2 with 14" mini apes and yea I do use a windshield, being an old guy lol
The lights are Denali R4’s . They are bloody great . I just run them on 10% … and that way not too bright for on coming traffic. But very visible, especially with the yellow lenses. But at night they really show up pot holes etc .. and the full beam goes on forever. Yeah I’m not into pointed crash bars either . Ah I love the crimson colour !! Bet that looks so sick with the 14s too ! I’ve never had a windshield so I don’t know what I’m missing. Cheers for watching bud
Thank you for answering my question regarding the quad lock clearance on your mount!! Do the stock bolts from quad lock work with the risers/spacers or did you have to buy those separately. Thanks again for the video!
No worries, do you know what I honestly don’t remember. . May they come with the risers ? I don’t remember ordering them separately. So pretty sure you get what you need . Sorry that’s not too helpful .
@@LeanIntoTheWind excellent news. My 2019 RKS Stage 1 Twisted Cherry arrives on Tuesday and after watching your videos I’m going to go for the Street Glide bars too. Thanks so much for replying. May the road rise with you 👍
They are OEM Road Glide Handlebars They much better than RKS Stock Much narrower at 32 inch wide and have a lot more pullback at least 5 inches more if I remember correctly. So they allow a bend in your arm .. and you don’t need to change any cables it’s straight swap . Thanks for watching
@@LeanIntoTheWind Thanks for that. I'm looking at changing the awful ape hangers that a previous owner has fitted to my 2018 RKS so will give the OE Road Glide bars a look
@@andrewbooth4341 They OEM road glide bars . 32 wide instead of 40 . And 7 inch pullback . Stops you leaning forward like you bloody hang gliding ! No need to buy extension cables etc Original ones all fit .
I freaking LOVE that sissy bar, but cannot seem to find it anywhere. Do you have a link? All the ones I have found wont work in conjunction with quick release luggage rack that you have. This is the exact setup I have been looking for. Great looking bike. 👍
@@ShiftingGears-MotoVlog Nah it’s not the one you been looking for . It’s not quick release and once on you can’t take ya rack off without undoing 4 bolts .

You installed the Road Glide Special Bars? Was at my HD Dealer today and he told me that there i a hole at each side of the bar, right next to the grips. It seems these holes in your bar are filled with something? Or are these just deepenings, no real holes? Do you remember the part no. of the RGS bars you‘ve installed? Thx mate
Yeah mate , OEM Road Glide , not got part number but 2017 up to now apparently all like this … unsure bout earlier . 32 wide so much better 7 inch more pullback . Yep two holes , you can get a cover plate I saw on a video somewhere… But I just put black tape over as I’m lazy . But I’m gonna make a couple of black plastic covers from some plastic brackets I found .
Your black tape looks much nicer than the oem plastic brackets from the RGS (41700321 and 36700113 if you need). That plastic brackets make the bar look a bit thick and cheap. Your solution looks way cleaner and thinner than those plastic bumpers. Looking forward for your new solution with the brackets you found👍🏻
Man... Your missing a lot of accessories. How about a windshield, taller bars so your not all hunched over riding, LED lights, that seat doesn't look comfortable at all for long distance riding, highway pegs....
Each to their own , I’ve never had nor needed a windshield. I changed the bars to road glide ones they are perfect for me , tons pullback … LED Lights I have , Seat is absolutely fine … no complaints. I never felt need for highway pegs … My legs don’t ache , I have enough movement with floorboards to shift position enough to keep me happy . Obviously you can buy a 100 more things This is just my ones that I use daily and have made a difference. I’m not at all saying This is what you need . Best wishes mate
Another great vid. We have the Harley luggage rack on our sport glide and it does slip on and off really easily. 👍
Thanks mate . Ah I’m glad to hear HD one is smooth sailing . I need to sort that . I will very soon .
Great video... and it cost me I just spent a packet on a quadlock rig thanks to you! 🤨
