Thanks for the Shout-Out John. Great Video and Build. Keep up the Great work brother. Editing and everything is on point. It's hard to keep a shop video entertaining. You do a good job inserting comments about the details and difficulties on the build which is interesting. I know the electrical was a bitch for Jamie too. It's hard to make it clean! That's what separates the real techs from the DIY guys.

About to have my Dealer do these for me on my 2020 Road Glide Special I bought three days ago... service manager told that none of his techs have done them... so, bit worried about that. But this video and Matt's. Are the whole reason I started even looking at a Road Glide... and its the only setup in which I like T-Bars... 👍

Thanks for another great video. Being a "new" Harley owner - 2004 Road King Custom - this type of "no BS" technical information on the old and new bikes is critical to do the various repairs and upgrades correctly. Working as an automotive dealership technician for over 30 years, I have learned that we all can pick up new ways of repair and installs from others. Doing a lot of electrical work and harness repair, I have found that a seam ripper (used in sewing, less than $5) works well for opening up factory conduit and "taped over" previous repair areas. Cuts though Super 33 quickly and won't damage the wires like a razor blade can. Sorry if this is old news, just though I would mention it - keep up the good work!

@TheHarleyTech 5 лет назад

I need to look into those, my tiny scissors are a bit tired. They’re cheap and don’t cut so good anymore.

Just a tip I have learned over the years zip ties over time will cut into wires try using wax string double the length than fold it wrap it around cables and hoop it back threw and pull tight.

@Taurian321 5 лет назад

I like the aggressive position, but not the expense of this kit. I went with FXR Division Motorwitch bars, they give a similar feel and are simple to install. I also didn't want to lose the ignition switch or other pieces on my CVO. Great video!

@gadang66 5 лет назад

Thanks John for the great content that you put out! Your channel along with Matt Laidlaw’s channel has filled my garage with my first Harley Davidson, a 2019 Street Glide FLHX! I honestly feel that due to your “dirty thumb” approach to the brand and the in depth information that Matt Laidlaw gives on the new models has given me the tools to know what I wanted for my first Harley Davidson! The FLHX was by no means my first motorcycle but I just grew up with the “HD will leave you stranded” mentality for most of my time as a rider. I am saddened that it took until my 52nd birthday to wake up to the music that HD’s make! Keep up the great work and and thank you for the content you provide!

@rayx5653 5 лет назад

I always hated T-bars, then I bought a 2019 Street Bob that had them pre installed. It was the only one available and I’m impatient. I was supposed to bring it in to have the stock setup put back on, but damn I fell in love with those bars and kept them. They are so comfortable and handle so much better. It was like being a friend’s wingman and taking out the ugly friend, only to fall in love because she rides better then anyone you’ve ever thrown a leg over. .

I’m watching some of your videos just wishing I could ride but we just got 8 inches of snow and it’s 28 degrees outside. I just bought my bike a month ago and rode it twice with the couple of nice days we had. I decided on a Harley from your videos and I love it so thank you! I’ve seen videos and I don’t care what others think because I’m happy with my bike even if it is the most popular sold bike. I will make it mine. Just hope our mechanic cares as much as you do. Thanks again for the great video!

@bikecommuter24 5 лет назад

Main things needed when changing handlebars, cover or remove gas tank, LOTS of patience oh and coffee of course. On my old Japanese bikes it was a breeze to change them now days with the electronics not so much. That Kraus Setup does look nicer than stock.

I just did the same set up om my 2022 road kind special. awesome all I can say what a diffirence those risers and bars made..

@Highdepthfilms 5 лет назад

Great video. I added a Big Bear choppers gauge relocation kit. It was a bit difficult to deal with the crappy fiberglass work but I managed and had it all painted to match. Used a West Coast T-bar SlingShots, they are 28" wide, narrower than the FM bars but they are tight and narrow giving it more of a nimble ride feeling. Best part is there is Zero obstruction from the radio and it has a cover to cover all of the MIsc wires.

@ridethepace6005 3 года назад

I am putting the FXR Division Motorwitch bars on mine. Same t-bar look and stance, including the narrowness ( 30.5 in. ) However you do not need to eliminate your fork lock, or relocate the gauges, lengthen cables or anything. You get unobstructed view of gauges and Info area. It's the shiz. Way simpler, great looking. You should check them out.

@scowles69 5 лет назад

I have been running the 14” West Coast T-Bars for about 3 years now. 2015 RG. Always been a ape hanger guy. The T-Bars are WAY more comfortable. Great Video !!

@TheHarleyTech 5 лет назад

That’s kinda what I’m finding out. I’m an ape guy, and t bars are a similar hand position, just a bit more narrow (generally). Super comfortable.

@scowles69 5 лет назад

The comfort for me is the wrist angle more like a dirt bike. No more numb hands. You were spot on with the counter steering comment. If your on the fence about the bars. You won’t be after tearing up the twistys.

@shawnbrockel7233 5 лет назад

A couple months ago I switched from 14" apes to 14" t bars.....and honestly I dont think I can ever go back to apes. I love the control and feel of my t bars

Future Street Glide / Road Glide comparison, review and what-not video..... Yes please 😊. Be nice to hear the ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ on handling or if maybe a taller or shorter rider would feel more comfortable on one or the other. Well you know how to do videos so I’m gonna shut my face now. Thanks for the videos ✌️

@TheHarleyTech 5 лет назад

Those are good ideas!

@razgriz814 5 лет назад

One thing that I do like about Harleys is that there is a ton of stuff to make then different and your own style. Now the gauges being up where they are now makes it easier to see..... buuut me personally wouldn't run them just due to the fact that the steering lock is now gone.

@Rokonroller 2 года назад

@jimmystacoma1773 5 лет назад

@renniesmith8073 5 лет назад

I was recently in the market for a used bike I wanted a rushmore bike either a street glide or a street glide was ok with me just was looking for the best deal. I ended up with a 2015 vivid black road glide and couldn't be happier with it! The kicker is when I went through the paperwork that came with the bike it was dyno tuned by John Maxwell! Love the bike!

Hey John, thanks for all of you vids and commentary. As Matt said, you keep things entertaining and don't alienate the non-Harley owner. I've recently discovered both you and Matt because I've been drooling over the 2019 Street Glide Special and CVO...good lord what a beauty those bikes are. So in the meantime of saving up for one, I'm doing my homework by watching both of you guy's vids and reviews. If you ever venture out on your own, I think you will be a huge success...just don't forget, we aren't all "hard core" Harley bikers, but appreciate all of the knowledge and experience you have to share. Kudos Bro!btw...for a "highly trained, non professional motorcycle tech", you do a mighty fine job sir!

@saddle8bag 5 лет назад

That is proper. Well done John. Low, flat and not obstructing the dash. Harley should fire the guy that's putting those farm tiller bars on the Road Glide and hire you. Seems like way too much time, effort, and expense, but if they came stock like that, I'd be a happy camper. There's an opening for the Road Glide designer over at John Deere.

@gaemti40063 5 лет назад

Agree with several others.... not a fan of the bars. Height is better with the riser but I like the separated bars better. Factory 47 bars with the chiseled look are the best look on the Road Glide (Street Glide too).

Hello Valerie! I definitely like the fact that the same model HD can be sooo cool to the owner, and be so incredibly different that another guy with the same model bike hates it! I mean, that is some serious customizableness. I don’t think that’s a word...

@206-HoneyBadger 5 лет назад

@@TheHarleyTech It's a word I can understand. Customization is like spraying a can of Raid on some really bad ass bait for other roaches to admire, but can't they can't claim it as theirs (meaning, they didn't think of that look first), and then hate the one roach that rides away on it. I say "f*** 'em!" Human nature is always difficult to accept change, and I myself have done my fair share of trash-talking.

@dennisgeroux4483 5 лет назад

Sorry John, don’t care for the bars. I have a 2016 Road glide and I love the bars and the position. Been riding them since 06 and like the stock bars. Now my son owns the 06 and I put on Carlini apes and they were a pain but turned out ok for him. Moving the cluster and eliminating the ignition and locking system is nuts and leaves a big hole. But a lot of people will like that kind of thing. Doing high rise bars rates right up there with heated grips and hidden wires. Dennis

I’m surprised how many people don’t like the fork lock being gone. I have 3 motorcycles that I have never even used it on. Matter of fact, one of them requires a pad lock to even exist. It’s just a hole on the frame and a hole on the bottom triple you run a lock through.

@mikemitchell3889 5 лет назад

Well John, It looks like the triangle feels pretty good. My '16 Road King feels a bit , maybe "awkward" with the sort of mini apes that are OEM, and you got me wondering about some flatter bars. I wonder if the reach might prove radically uncomfortable, or if not so, would I enjoy a better sense of handling feel(?). Unlike most, I reckon, I buy a bike based on a lot of stock characteristics,. Because I'm very visual (a photographer), If I think the bike "looks" right, I'll consider that one very important consideration. Because I won't buy something that isn't aesthetically pleasing, I tend to buy what looks right from the git-go, hence do not usually make a lot of "make it my own" custom changes.I'm not above adding a docking kit for short sissy or luggage rack, but major changes don't feature on my radar. As always, it's good to see your process and hear your entertaining commentary. Thank-You, Mike
