    They made the lids lighter to save weight but they are still extremely durable. They made them more flexible so when you over pack your bag, the lid will still close. I talked to Harley DIRECTLY regarding this.

Did not have to buy tuners, windshields, suspension, exhaust or anything else. And by the way, this thing blows an HD off the road haha!!!! Makes riding fun and exciting again with the versatility. Ride safe!!!!!!!

    Dude, I love your videos. I swear, I learn something every time I watch one. I just picked up mine in June. Haven't had an opportunity yet to put as many miles as I'd like. Pretty soon I hope. I'm 6' tall, so not as tall as you , but I put a Klock Werkz 13.5 windshield on it, and I'm really not happy with it at all. Doesn't look great for one, and I'm getting more wind buffetting than I had with the original! I tried a couple things, with wind deflectors and moving them up an down. It helped a little, but I'm taking the windshield off. There's $275+ down the drain. I'll stick it on ebay or something. Waiting to see your video when you get that shorter Klock Werkz. Anyway, I love the bike, as I can see you do too! Stay safe buddy! I'd love to ride with you sometime!

    Also talking about the “wobble” it did happen with my 24 road glide once. High speed in a long lazy curve on the interstate. When it happened I couldn’t believe it, I mean brand new bike and all. The only thing I had changed at the point was a taller windshield and I really believe that’s what caused it. It was more of a “javlin” feeling as I call it. Anyway I took that windshield off and it never happened again.

      What Indian comes with Ohlins? Far as I know none. Ohlins are an upgrade to the stock suspension. The new Harley suspension is good, but I wanted something better. Just like Indian, their suspension is good, but the Indian race team wanted something better, so they got Ohlins. The difference between Harley-Davidson and Indian is when I want to upgrade my bike, there are a ton of options to make it however I want. If I want to upgrade my suspension on my Indian to the same suspension that they have on their race bike, I can't.

To me on Harley you almost need to upgrade suspension but in the Indian you don’t need to upgrade it. I’m not racing my Harley or Indian but for regular or long distance riding the Harley needs the suspension upgrade and my Indian doesn’t.

    It doesn’t look good though. It has nowhere near the road presence of the previous model. Second the fit and finish feels a significant lower quality than before eg Bag lids, speaker grills, cubby lids…cmon someone give us a truthful review.
    Quality- declined
    Looks- declined
    Fit n finish-declined.
    Rest is a move forward. It’s going to take a “mk2 “development to reclaim the above list of things that have declined. For me it’s the looks. Do a side by side and the outgoing model JUST LOOKS BETTER.
