I bought a new ‘89 black/silver FLTCU almost added a matching sidecar. Loved it, I was also only 32 years old. People thought I was crazy riding an old man’s bike but I just reminded them that the bike was on the last page of the sales brochure.
Funny enough I'm legit making one for the streetglide as I respond to you!!! My plan is to cover all of them. SG video should be released by Tuesday if not sooner.
I couldn’t stomach $30,000 for a toy that will inevitably have growing pains. I have a ‘22 PanAm and it’s … okay. I was an early adopter and should’ve waited for them to work out the issues. I’ll wait this time for the kinks to work out. Also I’m 31, do I qualify as the next generation? 😂
@@Americanmotorcycleexperience they were for European motorcycle cop fights for the Harleys and European military the civilian version was called the Continental Gt
The first one I ever saw was in an ad for the 95th anniversary model. I loved it. It would be another 10 years before I could afford one and in 2009 bought one brand new. My riding buddies say I was an RG guy before it was cool, lol.
I have been riding an Electra Glide for years. Made the big mistake of stopping and looking at the 2024 Road Glide. Fell in love immediately. Now just got to convince the wife that I really need one.
@@Glyder1959 My wife and I have a shared bank account, but we also have separate budgets we put money into that we can spend as long as the funds are there. If one of us needs a plus up we negotiate and both get a plus up.
Agreed. I bet he thought (and still thinks) he’s a bad ass lol. Bro is his own worst enemy and EMS is probably gonna need a pretty big spatula after he drifts out of his lane into an another vehicle one of these days. It’s sad bc I’ve had a friend die riding about 2 years ago, my grandpa died before I was ever born Riding and was hit by Semi at a Red light. ppl pretend like nothing bad can happen to them and take zero precautions and way too many risks like it’s never going to catch up to them.
Bro needs a flat track in his life and to get off public roads for these types of shenanigans. 😂 mfer is giving out the here a good time, not a long time type vibes.
I picked up a 24 RG. It's my first RG, traded my 20 SG for it, had a heritage before that. So far, it's one of the best bikes I've owned, just wish there were more accessories for it.
Like a chain drive!! Love tear’n that stuff up!! Got a bike for stunt and a bike I travel on!! Love this video! Appreciate the history of the road glide!! Thx for this!! 🤘🤘
Your very welcome!!!! Thanks for watching man. At the moment I'm only rolling my 05 RG set up for traveling yet I'm known to do some decent wheelies with it. I'm definitely looking for a stunt bike . Sooooon
@@Americanmotorcycleexperience Haha. Yeah man, I wondered the same thing. But like my Indian Scout, you can hear the pump kick on, 1 sec, you can start right up. And I like that the OS puts the gauges on within that same 1-2 sec, and it's the infotainment, and carplay connections that can take a goof 5-10 seconds. And they can be glitchy. That would be my only complaint with the system is the Carplay aspect of it can sometimes not connect automatically, or shut off on a trip. You never lose gauges though.
Great job with the history of the Road Glide! I sell these gems and they get seriously better every year! The engineering continues to develop the best selling bike in America and the Harley Davidson culture is second to no one! Thanks again!
I had two TG's , late 84 EVO with the enclosed chain and 88 .. Wish I still had either one .. Enclosed chain was the cats meow .. Put far side of 250k on the 84 and over 340k on the 88 .. The prototype some one mentioned below is the Liberator fairing made by Vetter , it was in the Harley P&A catalog for many years . Was a universal mount that would fit any big bike .. You see pics of Elvis' shovelhead , thats the Liberator .. I always herd ( been on HD since 1971 ) that the shark was to be the mainline touring fairing for Harley , but Vetter had a fire in 1977 and destroyed the molds ( they were supplying the fairing thru the P&A catalog ) . So HD went on it's own to develop the TG fairing ..
I never let the screen completely boot up 😂 I’m half way to my destination by the time my Apple car play connects to my 24 RG 😂. The standard 117 engine with cooled heads is the best part about the new RG. Seat sucks but if you get to your destination fast enough with the new engine you never notice your ass going numb 😂
my 86 was chain drive and had the air in the front engine case guard aka crash guard , AM FM with Cassette tape . the Highway light bar had the turning signals on my 86 , the Battery was under the right side saddle bag . Screaming Eagle Exhaust turn down like the Red Bike at 06:18 . It had the Oil from Engine to the Primary to filter I did not like the oil from my clutch going to the Engine I rerouted the oil lines and plugged the primary and filled it when I changed oil I still use 20/50 for the clutch . The Earley EVO got a lot of left over parts from the left over Shovel inventory .
Another factoid. In 1998 The Chopped Tour-Pak was an accessory item that was designed for the Road Glide bikes only. They could be ordered "color matched" from the factory or from the Parts and Accessories catalog.
As a Tour Glide / Road Glide nut, I was ready to pounce on your mistakes, but this time you took me to school ! BTW was that the soundtrack from the Pokémon movie ? 😂
Haha I did more research this time and practiced how to pronounce a few word before my audio!!! I learned from the last one lol. Man, I truly enjoyed the research on this one and was suprised by alot I learned. Weird enough, I'm starting to actually like tourglides because of this video....the one with the wood enlay was damn amazing...thanks for watching man, I'm tackling streetglide next. What's Pokémon? Hahaha
I said the same thing! I consider myself a subject matter expert in all things FLT/FLTR from 1980-1998 and this is the best Tour Glide video on RU-vid! Great job brother. You definitely did your homework and went above and beyond. 👏
Per Corporate HD the production numbers for 1998 Road Glide bikes revealed the following. They made 421 carbureted Road Glides, 133 were Electric Fuel Injected. They also informed me that even though they made 800 Anniversary Road Glide's only 648 stayed in the USA, the rest were exported to Canada and other countries.
@fq7879 all of the 1979 Tour Glides were titled as 1980 bikes. All of the castings used on the 5 speed bikes up until 1998 had a "dash 79" part number on them.
The creation of 2022 dantes red fade cvo ultra limited made me jump in. The custom hand painted color scheme, and the fit & finish are all PREMIUM. Couldn’t find one when they came out so i bought a used 2021 cvo Black Hole. After 4k miles i ran into a DRF CVO and traded the Black Hole in. 26k Miles later….I’ve been to the Bronx bikes & breakfast to key west, Fl, and the mountains of W. VA, all from N. VA. The Adventures of owning the greatest American Touring bike are priceless! I Love my Road Glide.
