This Is Why I HATE My Low Rider ST... 

Yeah that has not happened yet, but not the type of thing I would be wanting to field on the side of the road on a long day of miles - Will definitely be looking into your locknut solution, appreciate you sharing man!

The good news is the factory pin is installed from the top, so if the clip flies off, just the lower bushing falls out. The pin can't come all the way out. It will partially rise up and rub into the primary. You'll feel it putting the stand down, and the kickstand will seem to over extend forwards and out beyond normal.

Yeah it's wild man, and like I said, it's something no one seems to talk about - I think it's fine if someone is always finding themselves parking their bike on a level surface, but the type of riding we do, that's a rare luxury

My kickstand failed at 200 miles. I was 30 yards away when it failed. 2k damage. Never in my 30 years of riding have never had this happen.

@@myride7216 that’s the other thing I’ve seen more than a few people in Facebook groups say they had the jiffy stand bend or snap and drop the bike.

I agree man - Especially for the off road situations, was always just a good piece of mind knowing the bike was planted

For real man! It’s just something I don’t have to worry about if I’m on my Dynas or FXR

@@FXDLSBrooklyn I thought taking the battery out of my road. King was a pain in the ass. I’ve done that battery swap on that bike. Damn, what a hassle. But still wanting to add that bike to my garage. By far, the best riding handling bike that Harleys put out since in my opinion, my road king.🤷🏽‍♂️

Lifting it half an inch with the upgraded suspension, definitely has me wanting for more

Dude that’s what’s up! Congrats on one of the best HD’s ever made - As for the kickstand situation, really?! I much prefer the kickstand on my 2001 DX to this shorter one on the ST

@FXDLSBrooklyn for some reason the tilt scares me, but I have a dirt driveway 🤣

Yep, I know a few people who have had the bike tip over due to this

I actually changed the rear to Legends which raised it .5 inches, I chose there highest suspension - Might need to go higher than that, because even still, if feels very low to ground for me especially coming from the tall Dyna world

@@FXDLSBrooklyn Oh yeah i get ya. I was up 2 inches on my Dyna Low Rider S

Truth - I haven't noticed it on the new touring models, I'll have to pay attention next time I throw a leg over

Truth

Truth - There's got to be a solution

Really?! I wouldn't think the touring step up would change the riding position that drasitcally

@@FXDLSBrooklyn Yep! worth a shot if you ever get the chance to try one out. I loved the looks of my SDC just didn't love the seating position (this is on a '23 LRST)

Dude this is an excellent idea - If I find success with this I will definitely be giving you a shoutout!

@@FXDLSBrooklyn 🤘🏼😎 yea thats what i did i pulled the plastic piece off and cut the part that covers the positive. U still got take off the side cover to get to negative but its way easier. I have use a screw driver from the top to touch the positive and i clip the red to screw driver to touch the positive. Had jump my bike couple times this was big game changer for me. I can now use a jumper pack with out having operate on bike on the road.

Dude it's so weird, because I have a friend that also feels like he is bunched up seating position-wise as compared to the dyna - Not sure man, for me I just feel way more like I'm sitting back into the bike as opposed to the Dyna/FXR life - The good news, is there are many solutions to this

Find a 2018- 2021 Sport Glide with forward pegs.

Really? So is it technically forward controls now from that Heritage or does that have forward-mids, I can't remember

@FXDLSBrooklyn put my legs lower and forward but not stretched out as if I had ST forward controls. It almost has the feel my RP has.

Year?

@@FXDLSBrooklyn It had to be pre Milwaukee 8. Even the dealership will bone you for 1/2 hour to do a battery change out.

I actually don't really mind the speedo anymore, although a dual gauge setup is always my preference

Don’t even know they made a relocation kit, that’s good to know

Work at an indie shop, had to run one of these out back today. I didn’t know if it was my square toe work boots or the peg placement, but the kickstand was really awkward to work. Otherwise, that 30 second putt to the back just.., I wanna see how these are at speed. My ‘83 Sportster was so much fun and I wanna upgrade to a Dyna soon, but this… This is a wonderful platform. Also, my Sporty was super recognizable because of its extreme gangster lean, and by that I mean people knew that bike was mine by the lean alone. I’d have to “fix” this if I ever upgrade.

@@yaboileeroy3038 its an amazing platform, love it, this is just one little thing and in the grand scheme of it, isn’t the worst thing to deal with.

Every time I sit on my FXR the world is just right.

Tried & True

Find a used 2-1 exhaust off of a Sport Glide. Quiet and cheap.

That's what's up! Yeah dude, you can definitely throw this bike around and split lanes in the city - Is it going to do it as well as a bike with a quarter/t-sport fairing? No. But will it do it? Yes, with no problem.

@@DanielDraper-ki4hr truth

I just like having the options, especially for city riding - However, I may be going back to the hard bags at some point, they are also really nice.

That’s made by Purpose Built Motorcycles - They should have them on the site - Easy install, definitely something you don’t want going on you

@@FXDLSBrooklyn cheers mate

Moons MC

@@FXDLSBrooklyn thanks bro!

Biltwell Exfil 2 - Love that thing

You're not wrong - I gave that new Road Glide a fantastic review, they really did knock it out of the park with that bike

Sounds like a hell of a dealer markup. They love doing that. I went to a dealer a month or so ago and they wanted $29K for a 23 Heritage!!!! I’ll keep my Honda. Unless I can get to Laidlaws.

Yeah this is good to know man! That Pan America is about to be getting some serious miles in a few weeks ⚡️

Stay tuned : )

Oh, I've already done that #NOREGRETS

@@FXDLSBrooklyn Pan America kickstand will have some wonk depending on where the adaptive ride height settled. I just use the center stand 🤘

I don't know if I would go as far to call it a problem as much as I think it would comedown to my preferences as a rider - If you read through the comments, there's a few people who also agree, including a head tech from a HD dealership

Also twisting the trottle gives the bike power too 🙃

@@FXDLSBrooklyn yup! I have the same bike, it rips. But it also leans over quite far when ya turn the wheel

Garter snake is the common name for small to medium-sized snakes belonging to the genus Thamnophis in the family Colubridae. They are native to North and Central America, ranging from central Canada in the north to Costa Rica in the south. With about 35 recognized species and subspecies, garter snakes are highly variable in appearance; generally, they have large round eyes with rounded pupils, a slender build, keeled scales (appearing ‘raised’), and a pattern of longitudinal stripes that may or may not include spots (although some have no stripes at all). Certain subspecies have stripes of blue, yellow, or red, mixed with black tops and beige-tan underbelly markings. They also vary significantly in total length, from 18 to 51 in (46 to 130 cm). With no real consensus on the classification of the species of Thamnophis, disagreements between taxonomists and disputed sources (such as field guides) are common. One area of debate, for example, is whether or not two specific types of snake are separate species, or subspecies of the same. Garter snakes are closely related to the genus Nerodia (water snakes), with some species having been moved back and forth between genera.

@@FXDLSBrooklynperfect reply to non sense comments that keeps the algo happy. I am borrowing this technique
