My first question would be “do you offer Military Discounts”, period. If their answer is “No” or “on some products and services”, my response would be “thank you for making my decision that much easier, have a great day. Next”. Gotta support our Military Veterans 100%. Thank you for your service, brother. 🇺🇸👊💪🙏
I run a verticle oil cooler, no fans. 53,000 miles no issues. Cleaning that filter is a pain in the ass. I shift at 4500 or higher. I run well above 75 for distances... I live in Phoenix.
Our new bikes require multiple software updates for the best performance. My local dealer keeps me updated every time I bring it in for something. Nothing wrong with building a relationship with a local dealership.
Here’s my review on the Venom Seat after 20k miles. It’s simply an amazing seat! I am so thankful to Harley for putting such a crappy seat on my 22 SGST. This seat is still like new. There was no break in time whatsoever. My first long ride was from NM to Sturgis last year. And back. What a great seat!
I have two Harleys with the Ultra Cool oil coolers. My first one was a brand new 1979 Whore house red Superglide. It had a lot of overheating problems. I'm sick and damn tired of having the rear cylinder get so hot it starts to predetonate. I would have to pull over, God knows where, shut the engine off and let it cool down.... Ain't that some shit? Having to pull over and shut the engine off so a AIR COOLED engine can cool. If I EVER have this problem again.... I'm selling my Harleys and I will buy the best motorcycle in the World. A Honda damn Goldwing. I'm sick of this overheating BS V-twin design. Have a nice day.
Just bought the tcmt version of these boards, they look exactly the same minus the hd branding and seem to be good quality. Also they stay up when you lift them and do not flop around when down.
When people ask me I always say unless you are really that worried about keeping your warranty, like you got the 7 year plan or something, if you’re going to open it up and spend that money, don’t put SE stuff in there. I just have a Wood 22XE along with a few other associated upgrades and my aftermarket stage 2 job on my 114 will hang with or walk a lot of SE big bore kits. If I was going in there I wanted the most I could get for what I was spending and I only have a few months left on warranty anyway.
My first and only store bought Harley Davidson shows severec rear rim damage, an incorrect cruise control and all done by Dealer Techs. Currently I work as a service writer at the best shop in our area, because of the caliber of Technicians and a very organized Service Manager. We have no control over anything except proper repairs and a complimentary wash.
All those places sound like a rip-off. I bought all the new tools and oil for my Breakout 1k service for about $250 recently. If a Harley has problems after 1k then we need to ask ourselves........Why are we paying top dollar for these inferior bikes?
Save you money. I've never had a dealership do any of my services on any new bike that I've bought. I have had no problem changing my fluid or filters. I pull off my own wheels to take to a shop to change tires for 50 bucks. I will go to other shops to have things done that I don't want to do. I had 14" 3/4" apes put on and save $200.00 at an independent shop. Harley dealer ships will totally rip you off.
Thanks for the information. I'm in the process of doing the same thing with my road glide. 300 - 700 Kinda makes me angry I've decided to do it myself. Not necessarily in the same day . That would definitely be too overwhelming. I was thinking about doing each hole a different day. Change the oil and filter and be done with it . Next day , tranny. Be done with it . Next day , take on the primary. Little intimidating with the primary because I was told that the derby cover bolts strip out easily. BUT , one project at a time until I get confident with the new machine. Thanks again for another great video
My dealer on the East Coast owns Kingwood HD in Houston (that just bought out and merged with Woodlands, I think). I have a service plan through the dealership here, so whatever I need is paid for. I was on a 6000 mile ride last summer and had a problem, so stopped in at Kingwood. The took the bike right in and took care of the problems, and offered me a 10% discount on anything in the store. Because of the plan, I have no idea of their prices, but I really liked their attitudes.
@@2147crew Their website says they closed the Kingwood building, merged with Woodland, and are changing the Woodland name to Kingwood. Not sure if it is true, but...
I just change the engine oil, one hole.generic synthetic oil for big twins. Then for the next 10-20k I watch and fix things they missed at the factory🤪
I'm way past a 1k mile service, but I would have never thought the price would vary like that. I'll shop prices before I get my upcoming 25k mile service done. Thanks for the info!
If the rtx pipe delivered more reliable power than the bassani pipe, why didn’t you put the rtx on the new bike and put the bassani back on the 19 since you selling that bike?
