Welcome to my motorcycle content RU-vid channel. I hope you’ll follow me along this journey building out my 2024 Road Glide "Mystique".
I’m super excited to share content that I am passionate about with you all from product reviews, install and just riding around. Please trust that in all my product reviews that I will not hold anything back (good or bad); you will always have my honest opinion.
Video creation and editing is not my strongest skill; I work as a full time 911 Dispatcher and a Volunteer Firefighter so please bear with me as I learn (hopefully) this new skill.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, comments or ideas and I'll do my best to follow up.
That's the only reason you buy the siren is for the chirp/sound. The bike already has the alarm built in with no sound. There's a remote as well. I think I will bypass the siren this time because I always forget about it when I take off the fuse and the noise is irritating. I never used the remote as well and it just eats up batteries without using it.
I usually power off the remote when I’m not using it so that the battery doesn’t drain as fast but yeah it has security built in bit flashing lights is absolutely pointless. The whole purpose of the audible siren is to draw attention. To each their own.
I was wondering, on the 24 road glide, do you have to buy anything else or just the smart siren II kit to have some sound to the alarm? Is the security system included but no siren installed? Just got mine and can't find any info. Even the FOB, I see a lot of different FOBs from a somewhat water drop shape to a rounded square shape... I need something to put the FOB in that is not as fugly as the plasticky rounded square thing-a-ma-jig that Harley gives you 😅
Included with the bike is security where just the lights will flash (wig wag) but no siren. If you buy a CVO or CVO ST I believe both come with the siren installed already otherwise you’ll have to buy the security siren from the P&A catalog. I’m not sure what you mean by the second part of your comment.
It is on a Condor Products Motorcycle Dolly. Makes moving the bike around much easier and allows it to be stored easier as well for the winter months. I just happen to keep the bike on it all the time.
You DO NOT need the Tim's Cable for this to work... This works on a perfectly stock 2024 bike. I don't have the cable and I do this Every time I get gas. This will work on ALL 2024 Road/Street Glides.
If you read the video description I’ve updated it to reflect this. When I made the video this wasn’t know and this isn’t something that’s been shared on the groups that I’ve seen to begin with.
Awesome Video!!! I love Tim's stuff. I did a video when he gave me a mini tour of his shop. Love how you showed this feature. Just an FYI...that feature of keeping the screen on is already on the 23.5+'s models. I always keep the music going when I come to a pump to fill up exactly like you displayed. I had mine bone stock when I first started using this feature. No bypass installed. I use this feature all the time since day 2 of owning my bike with everything bone stock.
Yeah I actually watched that video. He’s a great guy. Had a chance to meet him in Laconia. I actually just found out about the CVO’s which have that sensor from the factory (pretty cool). Also found out this works on the non CVO bikes even without a Kickstand Sensor / Bypass installed. I’m gonna start using it myself now that I know about it.
@@VTG63 so for the non-CVO bikes or bikes that have Tim’s Kickstand Bypass installed you do not need to out the kickstand down (in this video mine is up) but for bikes with the P&A Harley bypass sensor the easiest way to do this same thing is by putting the kickstand down. You might be able to follow the steps I did and get it to do the same thing but I haven’t tested.
I rewatched the video and it does not look like it shut off. I don’t know if it’s a timed thing or if it’ll just always stay on. Unfortunately can’t check it now as I’m at work so can look Sunday.
do you or anyone out there, know why the media setting isnt saved like other settings. Every time the bike is shut off, the media setting reverts to what appears to be a pre set level. HD customer service nor the dealership have no idea.
Did the same on my 24 rg alpine green tin swap on blk trim. Came out great. They came painted gloss black which doesnt look bad while i wait to get it painted
Yeah the painted blacks don’t look bad. I just got them unpainted to have them color matched. Lot less prep when actually going to paint them. Of course Carbon Visionary came out with them in Crushed Carbon now (they don’t sell the mounting hardware though) but cost $530.
@@Stripping_Bolts Depends what kit you buy. Kit A is painted black with black plastic. Kit B was unpainted white plastic but now I'm told will be unpainted black plastic going forward.
Great vid! Ill be doing this mod as well on my 2024 RG Burst Blue been taking it apart to get a lot of things paint matched so I might as well add this too!
Did not work for me, same same. But I use Pandora not Apple music. Anyways tried with both heard no difference. I usually use a headset also. My complaint is the GPS, when it's telling me something the volume is low and if I catch it I can raise the volume but the next time it says something its right back to low volume. That is annoying. What is the fix for that?
Yeah I just downloaded it to see if there was a setting and looks like Pandora doesn’t have one. You can change those settings for prompt volume and where the audio comes out in the head units settings. I’ll probably have to make a video on that one.
Thank you buddy.. I was over here trying to twist & push from the opposite side with needle nose, like hold on.. someone on yt may have a better solution haha
Thanks for leading me to Apple music. Apple music is much louder then Spotify what I use all the time. I tested both streaming platforms on my 24 RG and Apple Music is much louder. I will still need to upgrade but I will try it out when I get a chance.
Hope the video was helpful. Shouldn’t be this difficult. HD should have had the instructions updated upon model release. It was very frustrating trying to get it to work.
Are you having any issues with the hold releasing? After I did the PSR levers it is not wanting to disingage. ( I just discovered this and haven’t reached out to PSR fyi)
The only issues I had with the levers initially was that when they were st the lowest setting on the Journey levers I could not enable the brake hold feature. So brake hold not easily releasing wouldn’t be an issue because of the levers. It was difficult to disengage with the stock levers for me as well. Does there make sense?
It’s great to have especially if you’re stuck in traffic in an incline / decline. You don’t have to sit their and hold your clutch in because currently on the 2024’s (non-CVO) if you don’t wanna hold the clutch in you have to be in Neutral and you’ll be holding that brake. With this you don’t have to hold either.
Nice! My biggest gripe is that I had to purchase an iPhone to use my $30,000.00 bike on top of 8.59% interest with a 770 score? WTF, right? Biden, forgive my loan.....
Luckily things are good enough for you to buy a $30K bike and afford 8.59% interest 🙄. People like to complain all while spending like wildfire. Must not be too bad out there 😉
On these levers on the lowest setting the bike still started no issue. I have their Anthem Pro Levers on the bike now which have even greater adjustment. Was working on a follow up video for the new levers so I’ll have to look and see if that changes anything. Stay tuned! Thanks for the question.
Great video! I found the updated instructions that shows where to install the siren on the new model road and street glides. I installed mine the other day. You do have to remove the battery though. It installs directly behind the battery. There's a cutout in the plastic fins behind the battery that the siren snaps into. RU-vid won't allow me to insert the link to the instructions for some strange reason.
@@marcuslee1750 RU-vid won't allow me to add the link to the comments but if you google "harley davidson road glide siren installation instructions" and click on the Harley Davidson SIP link for "security system smart siren ii kit". Once you click on the link scroll down to "2023-LATER CENTER-COOLED TOURING MODELS". Those are the instructions for the new model touring bikes. I hope that helps.
I have the 2024 Road Glide and tried out the 10" demo windscreen for a week and then took it back. The distortion at the top of the windscreen really bothered me, and I am 5'8". I wish someone would make a taller screen without that curved lip (they call it the wind splitter). Did the 12" screen give you this same problem?
Thank you There is a IFCU SUPPORT bulletin on this also To improve audio output it is recommended that the H-D Signature equalizer setting is used. See Figure 17. If playing audio through an I-Phone it is also suggested that in your Music settings, turn EQ off and disable Sound Check and Crossfade. See Figure 18.
Gotcha. I wasn’t aware of the IFCU support bulletin so I’ll have to check that out. I’ll also give the H-D Signature equalizer settings a try and see what that does. As far as the sound check and EQ settings they make a huge difference. The crossed IMO isn’t gonna do much as that only lowers the volunteer for the transition from song to song.
@@hdryderct Honestly, I tried the H-D Signature but ended up going with your recommendation and did the custom setting as shown in the video. I think it sounded better.
Looking for new adjustable levers for my 24 RG Ltd. Never heard of these. I’ve been looking at Oberon but they aren’t ready to release for 24 RG yet. Are these adjustable?
Yeah they are adjustable. As far as I’m aware they are the only adjustable levers on the market now and both their brake and clutch levers are adjustable. They offer 3 different kind of levers; Journey, Anthem and Anthem Pro. The anthem pro’s are the ones I have now and are the most customizable they can be turned into shorty levers or full size, have 48 clicks of adjustment (that I counted) on the clutch side and 51 (again I counted) on the brake side. You can swap out the handle and adjustment wheel colors for blue, red, silver or gold.
Took the bike for a ride today with them and they are fantastic. There is a fitment issue on the brake side but PSR is aware and will be making adjustments before the retail units are shipped out. I will say the friction zone is greatly reduced in my unprofessional opinion by about 1/2 actually almost most stalled the bike twice as it takes some getting use to be I like it. Very comfortable and look fantastic. Video will be a bit as I am tied up for the next couple of weeks but I will have a comparison review up asap.
@@hdryderct thanks for the update!! I’m looking forward to your video to see them on the bike, as I am going burst blue as well. Have a good few weeks.
