You should zoom in a little bit more😂

The best mod you can do is to not watch SOA 😂

Good info Buddy, looking into a flasher now.

Friends don’t let friends get T bars.

I plan to get a new handle bar, it is listed as an Ape Hanger though it is only a 10in. My current handle bar is 9.5in so it is only slightly higher. I also got a Puig Clutch and brake lever, having to get some repairs done after an accident. I have thought about getting an underglow, though I would want to keep it minimal if i do. Still not 100% sure on that yet.

You forgot adding a small fairing to a bike the normally doesn't have one. Like the one behind you and then wanting taller bars by just adding risers. Why not just add taller bars without the risers?

I did the $185 three finger levers because I got tired of hitting car mirrors when lane splitting (yes, even at very low speed filtering). Professionally installed because even they needed special fitting. Cables are smooth pulling now (because of the mechanic's skill). I never got the hands over shoulders thing with 20 inch apes. It looks dorky and can't be comfortable. I am almost at the end of modding my Sportster. It is a Stage 1 Plus (not quite a Stage 2), it came as a Cafe Racer and now it is a Crusier. Now I am getting into comfort mods and looks. Neon lights, nah. Just make everything on your bike LED. That is better.

Hi from Sweden, just found your channel & enjoyed the post, totally agree with you on not getting cheap levers, had a pair snap on me years back, I didn't have a channel then so dont have it on film unfortunately as it would of made a good cautionary tale, sent you a sub , Ride safe man

what about the factory connector,,, did you had to cut any wires and install proper connector at the bike for the new headlight (blue adapter)?

Pro Stock Pintos with 351 Cleveland's were bad a$$. Remember Bunny's, Dyno Don's and Sam Auxier Jr.'s.

That’s really good information 👍🏽

It is NOT impossible to make underglo wiring super clean. 😂 You have just dealt with amateurs.

Bike is sick. 1 recommendation. Mini floor boards on the back or she’s burning shoe soles on a pipe that close. Don’t ask how I know 😂. Bike is sick though. And down here in Florida “Hell ya brother.”

When you say to measure the clutch cable and fully collapse the adjuster do you mean measure it loosened up or with tension?

Led wires are not hard to run properly if you just take your time also get some quick connections so you can take them off when needed

Ive done most of these mods on my sportster. Led's, keep me visible at night. All wires are hidden and attached to the frame. Lowering brackets, yeah, rougher ish ride, but damn it looks noce! Lifted my tank, 3" in front, 2" in rear. Looks freat with the ignition and coil relocated. Did loose bout half gallon. 12" bars on her, but, im 6' tall, so theyre shoulder height. Also have 10 over forks. I love modifying my bike! Idid 1000/24 in November. Not a single issue! The joy for me, is building, riding and building more! Keep the rubber on the road 🤘😈

Very informative thank you 🙏

Everything spot on.

Those are neat. But in Arizona, the sun would rot them very quickly 😢

Best bike tie downs. I have them for my truck too

are these just normal ratchet straps bolted to the side with a plate or is there somewhere that sells them? would love these for my bikes

What is your opinion about extended swing arms? Where I live they manufacture swing arms that are two to three inches longer than the stock swing arm. They also do "cut and weld" swing arms. They cut the stock swing arm, add metal and weld it back together.

Unfortunately it's illegal to have a flashing brake light in the UK and it will fail it's yearly mot test

Again… I agree with all your points, especially tires. I DO NOT scrimp on tires! Thanks for the video!

Totally agree with all your points, thanks!

Had to start all over again after trading my 09 softail in for a 24 street glide so I finally have slip-ons coming in today from Tab performance. I'm planning on getting saddle bag bars and a seat next. I have highway pegs...somewhere if I don't find them I'll just get another set. Unfortunately K&N doesn't make a filter for my bike just yet I'm holding out for that one

And who the Phaq are you? Have tshirts twice as old as you. Swinging the bat to try to be a TH-cam star? STPHAQUP

Every mod you mention, I have. Thanks for the suggestions.

So I've got to ask about the tank lifts, i was looking at getting on from DKcustoms for my heritage, they have one that lifts both the front and back of the tank. I mainly want it for cooling and being able to easily clean the top of the engine. Is it really that bad?

Did you say, “on a Harley or a metric bike?” LMAO!!! Gold!

Swingarm extensions are ghey

👍👍

Why i have 2 bikes . Bars are a must.

The only two I don't agree with are the bars and the tank lifts, both to a certain extent, like you said, if your hands are level or just below level with your shoulder then that's actually an optimal angle because your arms are at a neutral position rather than a positive or negative one. the tank lifts are great if your bike isn't liquid cooled to the heads, it'll help with things like parades or this famous Florida traffic but going too high can cause issues. Speaking of Florida, I don't know what area you're in but there is a memorial ride at Bert's barracuda Harley this Saturday, the 11th, registration at 9 ksu at 1015. Today was the 1st time I have seen your channel and you got another subscriber, you did great explaining your points whereas most people would just say their point and ramble on about it, you were to the point and informative

I run 16” apes on all of my bikes. I’m 6’4” and this positions my hands at shoulder height, I have wrist damage from construction and impact tools, and this eliminates the pain. I also have enough pull back to keep my arms just a lil more than 90-100 degrees. Giving me perfect control for counter steering, slow maneuvers, and ride comfort on long hauls. My wrists and hands used to go numb on standard bars. Now I can do 500 miles a day in comfort. I think the preference is what’s comfortable and safe for the rider based on their size and needs.

Nothing tells the world that you have NO riding skill, than a swing arm extension. Nothing. The smaller the displacement of the engine of the bike you stretch (and I've seent stretched 600cc bikes), the less skill you have.

Can I put MONKEE BARS on my V Rod?

I been riding since 1964...... My father was a flat track and road racer, even on IOM TT and raced with Ray Amm of Norton Factory rider fame. The First things he taught me: -if you have a $10 head, ride with a $10 helmet, or none. Buy the best helmet you can afford. -dress for the fall and not the ball.....that downer when you "just going round the block" is what kills or disables you - use quality boots, gloves and goggles. Your feet,hands and eyes are your ability to earn to follow your passions -ride as fast as you can see to stop. Those 100mph bursts in a 30 zone is what hurts in a sudden stop against a vehicle that never saw you -ride with your loght on always. You are a moving pencil line against the background and motorists have no way of judging your speed or distance from them. Let them know your are coming their way. -in an argy bargy with a motor vehicle, its a 1-0 soccer score, you lose. Give way to the idiots. A road rager side swipe is a dent for him and most times a box for you. The 4 plus vehicles always have right of way, even if they dont..... And i have ridden them all, from cruisers, to scramblers, to adventure bikes, to superbikes- my last super bike was clocked at 200mph...... at just on 70 now i have hung up my helmet and miss the riding. But speed is in my racing blood and at 200 the reactions are not good enough anymore. If i could afford a trike on my pension i would seriously consider hair in the wind. I have all my gear incl AGV, gloves, jacket, pants and boots...... Ride safe guys The old old saying of "ride to live, live to ride and arrive alive" is valid today too......

Dude has never built anything just stock junk. Keep choppers sketchy

i get what your saying man... but at the end of the day that's why you have 2 or more bikes.... one built to rip thats practical for your type of riding.... and then you got the other shit box with all those parts and mods that you hate.... that you hit the bar with...... thats why you see so many funky ass bikes.... everyone is different... FTW

Just need a set of Motion Footpegs for the next build. Just saying...

I had lowering link on my bike I hit a pot hole snap the link it was all bad

00:21 a bowl of spaghetti

Very well put video and you are spot on the money Brother. When I do anything to my rides I work hard at making it just like Factory and or professionally done. I have seen many fails with bikes over the 67 years of life due to poor workmanship and or the person didn't really know what they were doing. I live in Northern Wisconsin and I have seen more than I care to mention. Thank You for the Vid.. Take good care and Be Safe! I'm gone, Later Bro!

There is NOTHING cool looking about raised bars or ape hangers. Just sayin

On my Suzuki V-Strom DL650 lowering links aren't just NO problem - they're widely recommended & used by guys under 6' & under 32' leg ! This particular bike is just too tall for a 30" inseam guy to comfortably control stopped or maneuvering. Also I think your comment about LEDs don't refer to a simple plug & play Headlamp upgrade, yes ? I upgraded mine from the stock halogens & it's huge upgrade. Gotta dim brights tho to be safe for oncoming cars etc.

Nice vid Kevin. I’m all for each their own style so this is only my take. Your bars sitting on some walrus tusks for risers looks like crap. They are comfortable but look like crap. And if that isn’t unappealing (for me) you have them behind a sport fairing. The two styles don’t mix. Imagine ape hangers on a gsxr, you get the point. I’m old school that sons of anarchy look doesn’t do it for me lol, but I respect everybody’s choices.

To the people saying tank lifts help with cooling, show me the proof, show me some evidence of this. It allows more air to slightly run over the rocker boxes which don't even get hot compared to 99% of the motor, and they look stupid. I ran one on my Sportster at one point and lost a good amount of fuel mileage because the fuel pump wasn't able to get to the last bit of fuel, it looked silly and when I finally realised how dumb it was I got rid of it and never looked back lol

I use nothing but quality on my Harleys!

All round pretty good advice.
