Oh it definitely got louder. I loved my Tabs but these are a night and day difference, and in my opinion...better, lol

@ awesome, that’s what I was hoping you would say to. Thank you so much.

My buddy who owns the bike did the install. And as far as I know, it's just an appearance thing.

I enjoy the look but I'm really curious to know about the functionality. Guess I'll find out whenever this crummy winter weather goes away. I don't think I've had that heat problem on my Springer though. Now I'm gonna have to pay closer attention...thanks a lot, lol

I think the shape doesn't match as well as it could with these new bikes. But I do like that it closes up that empty space behind the rear cylinder. I'm also holding out hope that advanblack will do a redesign for the 23 and up bikes. If they do, I know I'll be buying them again, lol

Thanks! I'd be interested to know if you have just as easy of an install as I did

They're not a perfect match for the body lines, no. But they're close enough for me. Maybe advanblack will redesign them in the future, in which case I'm sure I'll have to buy them again, lol

That's a really bizarre and crappy situation. I kinda assumed that their customer service would have been, at least, up to par. I'll definitely pass along your story to my buddy who has these lights so he can keep an eye out. Thank you for sharing and I hope you were able to figure out a better lighting solution that doesn't throw a check engine light

I’m kinda on the edge staying stock now from that experience with hogworks. I was also worried about the opening around the headlights for water intrusion on the electronics. I have the Custom dynamics “shark demons” in the cart but haven’t committed to purchased just yet. The shark demons has a better seal around the lights I noticed on bikes I’ve seen them on. Knees in the breeze, take it easy.

Keep me in the loop with the shark demon. I'm considering one of those for my Street Glide. Ride safe 🤙

Nah, it just the standard reach seat. My legs are way too short for extended reach, lol

I just ordered the extened reach one for my 2024 roadglide. I just got thunder max tune done too. That and full exhaust running pretty good and the throttle is way more snappy.​@Buffalo509

I hadn't considered the tang to be the issue. But I completely agree with you, it shouldn't be an issue for a company as big as saddlemen. But I'll admit that they did go out of their way to try and make the problem better. It's not perfect but still better than it was and lightyears better than stock, lol

In retrospect, I really didn’t need to use any power tools. I was likely just in a hurry or being lazy. I typically don’t like using them for the exact reason you mentioned.

Can never have too many options, lol. Thank you again for this amazing opportunity! I'm beyond appreciative to have been able to collaborate with you on this install and review. You guys are AMAZING!!!

@@Buffalo509 We're stoked to make peoples rides even better- we appreciate you.

Definitely a difficult itch to scratch, lol

Good question, the step up did in fact put me just a little closer to the bars. Not much but just enough to notice. I'm in the same boat down here in Washington with the weather. Summer can't get here fast enough, lol

Thanks! It's all starting to come together

Thanks! I'm grooving the progress as well. And I hope your new year is full of fun and adventure

It does get in the way of me trying to put my right knee against the tank unfortunately. I had to go check real quick, lol

@ ok thanks for the quick reply I love the look of the tear drop but it will not accommodate my riding style I’ll stick with a round cleaner assembly

And that's ok. We all have our own styles and preferences. I respect that it's not quite your flavor though

Same here and thanks! I just wish the sound came through better cuz this pipe sounds meaner in person, lol

I had the same reservation but I'm very happy with how it turned out. There are more stainless parts to come so that'll help tie everything together

Thanks! I'm super pumped to get it out on a ride and see how it sounds under load. But it sounds mean in the garage, lol

They'd fit, but I don't think you'd want to quiet down your bike, lol

@Buffalo509 i don't think it would quiet down that much

I wanna see what they sound like on my setup

I'm sure we could get something on schedule and give it a whirl

I'm glad I could help. Those directions on these new bikes are definitely a must so that sucks yours got chewed up because someone wasn't paying attention during shipping. Which KW did you go with?

Thanks! Did you go carbon, black, or something else?

@Buffalo509 I went with black. But will be switching that and some other parts out with carbon in the near future. But at the same time keeping some chrome on the bike. Kinda wanna keep the black and chrome combination. The only chrome that came off my bike were the tank dash and bars. Didn’t want all that shining in my face 😅

Oh I get that. I've got some very similar plans for mine as well. I'll be doing my bars here very shortly and will be ditching the chrome there as well. I still want chrome but don't wanna go quite as chromosexual with this bike as I did with the last one, lol

@ 😂😂 chromosexual. I’ll be looking out for that video! Subscribed!

@@Buffalo509 😂😂 chromosexual. I’ll be looking out for that video. Subscribed!

Mine is just the straight red

Im in canada so i want to make sure the color is the one i like. Otherwise ill pay shipping twice. To exchsnge. Thank you. ​@Buffalo509

I concur! Definitely don't want to look like every other bike out there, especially now that I don't have just another "black Street Glide", lol

I really like the forged. I dare say, I prefer it over woven carbon. What all carbon parts do you have? I'd love to see how your bike looks...for inspirational purposes of course, lol

The chrome does look good. After having the Advanblack dash for as long as I did on my last bike, I got so used to it that I ended up missing it on this one. I am a little particular about keeping my bikes clean, but it helps that this bike only has 500 miles on it so far when it comes to the dirt, lol

I think you're right with how Harley designs their bikes. And they've taken cues from the people and incorporated those ideas into their product from factory. As far as regulation goes, I'm fairly outside the loop on that. Especially since it seems like every state can set their own rules on emissions and noise. I know there's far worse places when it comes to regulations though...and far better, lol

That blue is stunning and you can never go wrong with black. What spurred you to contemplate switching to a Harley from your BMW?

@@Buffalo509 Being part of the HD family, and the new Street Glide is quite incredible, only thing is that its not compatible with Android.

Oh ya, I hate the fact that there's no Android Auto on these. I kinda want to try one of those adapters off Amazon to make it work, but it seems like every time there's OS update on the bike the adapters stop working.

@@Buffalo509 HD more than likely is updating OS on purpose so those amazon adapters stop working. I believe its about $300 so u may have access to the HD system?!?

I don't think I do but come spring I'll likely opt for the GPS access since that's really all I want out of Android Auto

More brighter = more better. Hopefully we got them aligned right on the first try 🤞

They look real good on your bike, Thumper. That's a great addition to your machine!

It's my understanding that the LP6s are more brighter but also much more expensive. Hogworkz seems to be a middle ground for both. I do know HW are WAY brighter than stock though

It did get a little better, but not to where I wanted it. I ended up returning it and ordering a different one that is better but still not perfect. These "older" bikes apparently are tricky when it comes to seats

Thanks! I do really like that murdered out look on the Street Glides. I'm the same as you when it comes to keeping my hands behind the fairing, that's why I went with 10" on my 19 Street Glide. I'm happy with the 8" Klockwerks but probably could have gone 10" for better wind deflection, but I really prefer the look of the 8". I'm seriously considering getting another 8" but in red, just haven't fully decided yet, lol

I was really torn between the chopped and the king. I prefer the look of the chopped but from a comfort standpoint for the wife, I thought she'd appreciate the higher back support. Gotta keep the wife happy, lol

@Buffalo509 100% agree king is best for comfort and storage. Wife rides her own Spyder F3-T, so it'll mostly be used for "extra crap" she aquires on trips.

@@jasonbreedlove495 It's amazing how stuff they can acquire...even on short trips, lol

That sounds vaguely familiar now that you mention it. Guess I should have paid more attention to the teacher and less to the girls back then, lol

That would've been the smart move but that's not exactly what I'm known for, lol. Plus it wasn't my garage and so I didn't have my "amenities" available 😉

I need to get one BTW that's my bike 😃

You and me both, lol

That would be an 8” dark smoke windshield from Klock Werks

Thank you brother ride safe 🤙

I can relate to the vertically challenged part more than I'd like to admit, lol. I do feel like the new seat sits me just a bit higher than the stock seat but because of how Saddlemen narrows the sides and the nose, I did end up with more foot on the ground over stock. I hope that makes sense and helps.

@@Buffalo509 Makes sense to me. Good to know about the seat. I’m sure that’s going to be an upgrade to my 2024.

It's definitely been an upgrade for me. What color did you go with?

@@Buffalo509 I went with Atlas Silver Metallic with the blackout option.

I do really like that silver they did. Harley did a great job giving that paint some depth and it looks great out in the sun.

You guys really nailed the look of this seat! I didn't know I needed this until one of your customer service guys mentioned it's existence. I couldn't be more excited and I've been getting a lot of compliments on it.

@@Buffalo509 Love to hear that!

@@Buffalo509I just ordered one

Hell ya! You gotta let me know whatcha think

@ will do. Have you tides with yours yet. Any initial thoughts?

Thanks! I wish I had some discernible level of creativity, but since I don't at least I can support those who do, lol

I was reading that their seats did have an issue with fitment over the bag guards that they've since resolved, but it looks like even with their solution it still causes a little bit of material puckering right where the seat meets the crash bar. I'd imagine it's not a major pucker but not quite as lined out as it was on the previous generation. I'd be interested to know if you have the puckering issue that I think I've seen in photos.

Yes, it does pucker. Unfortunately they did not make the relief far enough back on the seat. It should be around 3/8" farther back. I have the seat as tight against the end of the relief as possible and I can't quite get it up close to the tank like it should be. It works but definitely needs more relief space.

That's good to know, perhaps it'll get better in time. Growing pains with any new bike or new generation can be frustrating. When I get my guards, I'll fiddle around some and see if I can figure out a solution. Probably not but I'm gonna try anyway, lol

My wife and I loved that last Roadsofa but it's too soon to tell if this one will be more or less comfortable. I have a feeling that it'll be close to the same once it's broken in but the one I had before require no break-in time and was just as comfortable at 10k miles as it was out of the box. From a security point of view I completely agree with you, but from a convenience standpoint I do prefer the thumb screw in the back personally.

Very true, I'm still working out where there gonna go now, lol

Whiskey fire that is, lol

I really dig the look of the tuck and roll with the carbon too, very clean indeed

After putting some miles on it, I highly recommend. Plus it took about 2 or 2.5 weeks to come in as an added bonus!

Check back at the previous video 😉

Shame it took you 4 tries but you can never go wrong with Jameson & Ginger, lol. Here's to hoping your team does better than mine 🍺

I couldn't agree more. There's always someone who wants to talk trash but that's their problem. Boss fab puts out a great product and I appreciate that it's an all American made product and I love supporting small businesses when I can. What did you have made up for your bike?
