New guy here, diggin' the channel. The wife has passed so I ride a lot of long hauls with my dog on a '21 Ultra. I like a "big ass" drink holder. When not on long hauls it holds my garage door opener and a place to stuff gloves when you first stop. I've been through 3 different phone holders and quad locks with shock damper work best for me. I velcro a jiffy stand puck with a 3 foot string on it to the inside front of my left bag so you can get it safely down on her stand when solo and you encounter soft ground. Also a "must have" is blue tooth speakers in my helmet so I can listen to tunes. Big fan of ear plugs and heated riding underlayers. Love those mini boards.
D.R., I absolutely agree with everything you listed. I especially want to get a better phone mount. The RAM Mount “claw” is just too much trouble to connect and unconnected the phone. Like you, I have the little compartment to connect to the Boom Audio entertainment system for car play but it is just to small and cumbersome to get to and is a bit finicky with an extension cable. I keep the jiffy stand puck in my left saddle bag as well but really need to add the string setup you described. I have the blue tooth speakers in my helmet as part of the Sena setup and recently swapped the ear speakers to the Sena HD helmet speakers which are bit stronger. Never tried the heated under layers… I am retiring in a few months and expect more and longer rides may dictate I add every reasonable comfort but we are always two up. I may just go ahead and add a small pull behind like the Bushtec to use during my retirement “go-go” years. Hey thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing some great ideas.
Retired a couple years ago myself. It's the best. @@clemgriffis3446
I'm 63, had an ultra, lowers were worthless, heated grips.....if you wear gloves are worthless, cruise control or something is valuable, highway pegs.....ultra didn't have
I have Kawasaki Versys 1000 as tour bike, heated grips standard still worthless, got a good Corbin seat no backrest, don't need it..... don't try riding all day on stock seat, Corbin seat all day easy ride.......corbin seat has heat, now thats a luxury
It has tiny windshield with hole in the middle so bugs can easily find their way thru to smack you in the face because wearing half shell with windshield.
When it rains hold my legs in, from knees down good, thigh gets soaked, highway pegs a must have, but kinda expensive to get something made for this bike
Turning WideGlide into tourer, got a 1200 iron for short cruisin, no windshield......thinking about it, but I keep it at speed limit and wear full face
I've been thru stock seat, to newer version 2 piece stock seat, both really nice for rider.....not so much for wife, so got Harley Signature seat with backrest...... I'm mixed on backrest, but longest ever done is 3hrs out rest 3hrs back
Got forward controls, highway pegs, setup to put heels on mini boards toes on highway pegs
Got a taillight that has blinkers so going to remove turn signals and be able to put as big a bags as I want...... luggage rack and huge bag for just me
Kawasaki has cruise standard, sooo much easier to operate than Ultra, and it is nice.....WG has throttle lock that actually works and is good for dropping right arm........another good device is cramp buster, allows you to relax fingers and just rest hand on throttle
You don't need a giant bike to be comfortable on long haul
And like another poster pointed out, guy has backrest and trailers his touring bike around
Edit don't want no communication, don't want wife to hear my thoughts on that girl walking down the street
Great thing about motorcycles or actually anything else in this country, “to each his own…”! We all ride for different reasons … ride on my friend and thanks for watching!
Does the windshield pouch block the fairing vent?
No, not at all. T
My 2020 model does not an open/close vent… it is always open and has a clear path below the pouch. Thanks for asking!
Yeah Bike rest is on the bike and he trailered it right down there
Thanks for coming along!
What size bars were stock on your 13 sg? I have a 13 police eg that i want to put 10s on and they have 6" bsrs now
George, I am really not sure. They were the “stock” bars in 2013.
I agree with your list, my age is probably a factor (66). I invested in a heated jacket and gloves, worthy additions if you live in colder climes. Usually extends my riding season on both ends by a month or so.
Jeff, There is a certain amount of pleasure taken when you only have to satisfy a small number… you and possibly your passenger. Thanks for watching and I hope you subscribe if you think the content is worthy of your time. Thanks again!
It amuses me on how my attitude on what's essential has changed over the years.
The older I've got, it's now all about comfort over 'cool'.
.. That starts from clothing right through to bike.
Function over form these days.😃
Ain’t it nice not to give a crap what people think about what you wear and ride? That doesn’t mean we don’t care what our clothes and bike look like and rides like to us personally and our riding partner.
Looks I got everything covered according to your video.
I am sure you can recommend something else I need… thanks for watching and sending a comment!
Ha, ha... You would be offended if you saw my spartan bike. Thanks for another informative video, Clem.
You bet Scott, You can read my reply back to Sidney… you just have to be happy with your bike, not others. It sounds like you and me aren’t out to put our bike in a beauty contest. :)
I agree 100%. Did almost the same to my old E-glide. No need for 'cool' on my bike, making long distance rides.
Willem, appreciate the comment, and hope you subscribe to the channel as Roxy and me try to build it up. I will retire soon and will have much more time to produce and post content. Feel free to always share your thoughts even if you don’t agree with the particular topic I choose to share!
Great video CG, thanks for taking your time to share thoughts that I know will help out a lot of newer riders, including myself --when it comes touring... just moved up to a RGS from a ROAD KINIG CLASSIC, WOW what a difference.... look forward to watching more of your content.
Great choice of bike Eddie and thanks for subscribing. Roxy and me appreciate making content for like-minded folks who ride. Hey, hope you check out my #WHYIRIDE video as well as several recent posts. It has been getting a lot of views. Thanks again!
I’m trying to find the hand guards you have on your bars they look like they stop a lot of wind

I agree with the heated grips. I have some circulation problems in my hands and can't deal with cold anymore.
Patrick, absolutely 💯 percent. I have similar problems with my hands. Grips and the extended footboards are a must for me. Hey, thanks for taking the time to comment.
All good points, but with that level of comfort, you would be happier and safer in a car, motorcycles were never about comfort, but adrenaline and excitement of the open roads.
IHG, my motto is, ride your ride! If adrenaline is your thing, good on you man. I am being very honest when I say that I support you in your quest 100%, in you search for adrenaline rushes and dis-comfort because that is “your ride”. For me, I am all about long distance, comfort, safety and seeing as much of the open road and natural beauty of America and that of other countries as well… its all relative. Check out my #whyiride video. Please watch and comment about why you ride. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
I agree with you100%, including the lighting for safety.
Thanks Steve for reading and commenting, yes; many folks think we are crazy for even riding a motorcycle but when done safely and properly there is a thrill that can’t be matched any other way!
First time I’ve seen the Ciro floor boards. I’ll be checking them out.
No doubt you will love them! Thanks for commenting, it helps the channel grow. Hope you subscribe!
For me it's all about being seen and heard. Hence my stage 5 tire shredder kit I have on my 2015 street glide
Hey man, I hear 👂ya. Literally! I absolutely want to be seen and heard when I ride. I know my “Chrome Yellow” Street Glide always gets notice more than my 2020 Black Limited. The SG bucks the trend of the most popular Harley colors but I still love to ride that bike and never sell it. Ride ON my friend and thanks for the comment!
@@clemgriffis3446 nice color. 👌. Mines amber whiskey
Love it brother ❤
Mo, thanks man for the comment. Always appreciate viewers, commenters and subscribers. Hope you find the content at least useful and sometimes entertaining! Thanks my friend!
Hi Roger. Great video. When I first started riding long distance, one of the first things that I swapped out was the stock seat. I went with the Ultimate Seat from Ormond Beach, FL. One of the most comfortable seats I've ridden on. And of course, I order it with the back rest. The next thing was extended foot pegs. With those two items I could put in 600 to 700 mile days of riding with no problem. And the next best item I purchased was full heated gear from Gerbing. I purchased heated gear for every part of my body. (Socks, gloves, pant liners and coat liner) I noticed that Gerbing doesn't sell the socks anymore. But I am able to interconnect all the clothing together, then it goes through a controler that I strap to my left thigh then a plug that comes directly from the battery through a fuse box. I have traveled very comfortably in single digit temperatures. On the flip side of the temperatures, I have found a cooling vest to be a life-saver. I have ridden in temps as high as 117 degrees, and was able to keep somewhat cooled down. Of course staying hydrated was also very important. One last thing that I don't remember you mentioning is a GPS device. I use a Garmin, along with my iphone as a backup. Thanks again for your videos. they are great! -- Brad Stone
Thanks Brad, I did go out yesterday (11/25) for my birthday ride. It was about 38 when I started and finished up at 32 as I came back down through Ogden canyon. The road was actually a bit dicey. My heated grips were a bit intermittent and I may have to replace them. It was more of a ride to just say “I did it”. You are right, I do use a Garmin on both bikes and now my cell phone. I have so many electronic devices it scares me a bit and is starting to be counter to the motorcycle “gospel” I preach. Thanks for watching.
i don't think i'll ever give into the back rests and tour packs and the ugly crash bar foot rests i like my bikes stripped down and raw i don't wanna feel like im driving a car that's why i have a bike
Never say “Never”. Your Age?
