I'm curious to know if the fairing came painted, or did you have that done? I may have missed that in the video. This is a much simpler fairing to install as opposed to the FXR style ones, a lot less expensive too.

Funny I just came in the house from installing my batwing I went with the 12" shield this is what I used on my sportglide for single relocation. 2pcs Motorcycle Headlight Mount Bracket Spot Fog Holder 36-60mm Fork Mount Clamp....ebay

I have the 2024 and the tool bag front bolts have nuts that drop in between the upper and lower fender…would have been nice with threaded inserts instead

can someome please tell me what the damn 1inch or more rubber round nipple thing is under my 2013 harley 48? It sits under but close to side of chassis and lift always get in the way if it or it gets it way of the lift I should say

Lag bolts wont last more than a year. I used lags on my trailer and a year later removed it and the bolts were all loose and not biting the wood.

That looks awesome Todd, really like it. My only question is that it looks like the front turn signals are obstructed

What about front signals? I'm sure you'll think of something for them too 🙂

Real nice job and I'm about to start a very similar build in the next 2 weeks. Did you layout the post spacing to be 10x20 or is it 10x20 to outside of girts? Not that it matters, was just curious. Most pole barn suppliers size the building to the girts. Thanks!

To anyone trying to install this kit on low rider st..... I struggled with it untill I realized the notch needs to point UP, instead of down which is mentioned accordingly to the instruction manual in this video. No where in the instructions is this mentioned and I have not found any source of confirmation, its just a tip and it worked for me.

So question here. Rather than gambling on an expensive aftermarket seat, wouldn't it be better to find an excellent local upholsterer who can modify the stock seat, measure, cut, add, shape, add gel inserts, etc, and get a seat tailored to your touchie?

Where is that tall windsheild from? Ive never seem one that tall for an FLSB.

Have a new truck and a new 17' kayak and in need of bed rack. These look really nice but my concern is with the C-clamps leaving some of sort of impression or permanent marks on the truck bed. Have you had the rack off? Did it leave any noticeable marks?

Todd I can’t thank you enough for doing this video my better half has been on me about this and like you been trying find a video that goes into more detail from a stock seat to the explorer seat. One question I do have is does your better half ride with you because my concern is does or could the lumbar pad affect a passenger as far as comfort goes in your opinion. Thank you for all your input on this and other videos as well.

very nice rack, who makes those? Thanks

Do you think it fits on a KLX250 from 2009? I think thye are nearly th same bikes....

Any bike with bags and windshield is a bike you can tour on. It amazes me that people need the latest most comfortable shit but then again I consider my Springer an adventure bike.

good stuff mane

I’m 6’ 250 lbs and getting the taller mini apes and riser was a night and day difference. I was getting a lot of lower back pain after an hour or so of riding. Now I never even think about. The stock seat had to go and I went with the saddleman you’re referring to with the back rest. Kind of mixed on my opinion of that. It is better than the stock seat though. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks. Just placed my order using your link. Hope thats an affiliate link.

Hi Todd, looking foeward to seeing how your bike turns out. I'm thinking of going for some 4" risers as just did recent 1.5k trip around Ireland and was getting some shoulder pain. Still rocking the stock seat after 17k miles...as it's comfy for me. :)

These are a waste of money. They increase engine temp. You just purchased a high dollar air cooled bike, now you just blocked much needed air flow by installing these. NOT A GOOD IDEA!!

One thing to try to eliminate buffeting is to add a vent in your windshield. This allows just enough air through to eliminate the air pocket behind the windshield and therefore gets rid of that air effect. I have a heritage and between the fork mounted fangs and the vent buffeting is almost zero at any speed

I just ordered them. I have an Indian Challenger with a "Fat-Front-Tire-Kit" (180mm) these should work perfectly!!

Now zip tie that spring

Don't ever use drywall mud on something that flexes it will come off. Take it from a drywall man, I know from experience

I’m in Sussex county nj and I had a big one in my front yard again. Bear encounters are common. I’m trying to keep my dog safe and myself

Thanks! Beautiful bike!

I really like your idea! I have a slightly different idea. Find a little more modern popup, say 2001-2005. Strip off the popup portion, and try and keep the floor, tanks, frame, propane. Add the foamie on top of that existing base. I want a usable bathroom with shower. Also, wife and I sleep separately now due to her cpap, so want to have two twins, so have to manage the layout. I have an electric SUV so need light weight (3500lb towing capacity).

Thanks for this nice project - cheers!!

So, I have an Exiss trailer that is having problems with a frozen hinges just like yours did , what was your secret on getting your hinges to move more freely?

This video takes way to long .

Do you think the small one is just too small

Good overview

Why didn't you show you makin it?🤔

Any chance you can share what size are the t-slot channels are on the crossbars? I'm assuming they're t-slots.

Awesome ❤

I loveeeeee this idea! Thanks for sharing

Great end result, I think I will be trying to copy this exactly, it works perfectly for what I wanted to build. Pity we don’t have the Amish mills in Ireland 😊

Todd, sorry to be a dummy, but how does a ring shank nail attach the plywood to the metal frame?

Is it really so much cheaper than glas and Epoxi?

Your garage looks like mine. I’ve got the 2023 KLX 300 and I love it it does everything pretty darn well Great ergonomics terrific suspension and impressive acceleration and torque don’t be fooled by the 300 cc mark I like the rack I have the same one on my 2023 and it did fit perfectly out of the box

For break-in, its not just about the engine, but the transmission also. Smooth upshifts and down shifts, no jack rabbit starts and stops, and no high rev running for extended periods. another thing is, short rides to heat and cool down the engine. multiple heat cycles during break-in is good for getting everything seated. I have always used engine hours, in the past, not mileage. but riding conservatively for the first 10 hours or so, goes a long way to having a long lasting engine, that has well seated rings with no blow by, and gets all the excess material from building, out of the engine and transmission for first oil change.

Silicone hex cushions are what you need, something from purple or vivamint

Todd, great project my fellow Michigander. Now I know what to expect. It looks natural on the bike. Doug🏍️👍🤓

im no camper builder. But 5 minute mud aka hot mud has an epoxy like material in it to make it dry faster. Also you could use a 2 part epoxy just on the seams. Im not sure what the price difference would be for a whole camper using 2 part epoxy instead of wood glue. I do know you can get it pretty cheap if you buy chinese brands in bulk. edit: is there anything stopping you from doing it with titebond and paint and then later on down the road when you have money coating the whole thing in epoxy and sanding to a smooth finish?

I thought the lower brackets attached to the upper bolts of the triple clamp. Are the instructions different for a 2023 KLX300?

You could try some split wire loom tubing to protect your brake line.

You should get a front wheel chock, it makes more easier to jack the bike up when the bike is upright straight instead of side standing

The problem with this jack is that there's no way to strap the frame of your bike to it, if you're just going to raise it up to 'look' at it fine, just don't plan on turning a wrench on it, your bike will slip right off this jack when you're least expecting it and crash onto the floor. Don't use without a front wheel chock or strapping to some overhead rafters.
