Very kewl, Matt. Kudos to you for vlogging a build that was not performed by your shop just for the benefit of your subscribers. Very well-done build…not surprising considering it’s an RSD build. Roland’s PM heritage comes through on everything he does, albeit with his own twist. The nickel-plated accents are nice…not what would initially come to my mind for spec’ing a performance bagger build. I would like to have seen even more of that. If i had to change anything, it’d be the front-end. The Alloy Arts lower legs, with the Ohlins-style gold anodized fork tubes, Kraus radial caliper adapters, and Galfer floaters are all very nice high-quality stuff. I would have like to have seen RSD go full-Ohlins USD forks in a set of billet triple-trees (Kraus?) and Brembo T-Drive floaters to go along with those nickle Stylema’s and Corsa Corta racing master’s. Customer’s choice of course, and absolutely nothing wrong with any of it other than it’s not mine! I’m very envious. Keep the ultra-high quality content coming, Matt! Salute!
Couldn't agree more about the hydraulic clutch. I do not like the cable and wish Harley would revert back to the hydraulic. I also agree with the belt drive. If there is ever a Police Pan America, I think it should be belt driven to reduce driveline maintenance (that's assuming the belt could withstand the power output).
Wow!! I wasn’t super high on the ST before seeing this build. There’s nothing I don’t like on this bike! I’m sure he paid a fortune for it, but man did they ever do it right! Absolute beast! Thanks for posting!
Great looking bike pique my interest in one similar Rolling Sands and the rest of the parts that were on it awesome look. I'm ready for a new one similar to that look
So many fantastic bikes - so little money. Thanks for sharing this build. Such detail all the way down to the Figurati Swing Arm covers! Like the commentary on the hydraulic clutch and belt drive. Wonder why no digital gauges with more outputs related to the bike's operating parameters? And with that - still trying to figure out what level of silliness it is to have a radio on a bike like this though. (yes, I know it gives more than music..... but there's just gotta be something more meaningful that could fill this space)
For me it’s absolutely gorgeous I would give my right arm for one. Would love to have a rough idea on the value of this beauty though. Great video as always Matt.
Riding (steady state cruising) down the highway well into the upper rpm (downright high rpm's) and getting 20 mpg (65 miles & 1/2 tank of gas)...are you kidding? My '21RGS, 114 stock compression (10.5:1) Stage-2 (S&S 465 cam, ported S&S 55mm intake manifold, S&S 2-1 Sidewinder w/catalyst, Fuel Moto/K&N 3956 Ventilator Style A/C, and Tuned with Dynojet PV3b) pulls like a freight train from below 2,000 rpm to 5000 rpm and averages 46.4 mpg steady state cruise at 70-75 mph highway. Very enjoyable to ride in town and on the highway. Tom M.
Killer bike Matt. I know this a old post but it just popped up on my feed today. I really like the triple tree cover with gauge relocation. Went to there web site not listed so I take it’s not being produced? If u have any info or know of any other companies making something similar would be greatly appreciated.
Really cool bike, I just know having a torque cam over a hp cam is better on a bagger. Running high rpm’s and bad gas mileage isn’t for me. My 128 Screamin Eagle kit with a S&S 540 gets 43 mpg & it stinking rips.
100% Matt! Nothing was left untouched. Superb workmanship here. You won’t see to this out at your local IHOP. Although you might if it’s this bike and he likes pancakes. Good stuff.
I noticed they had to use molding/trim on the Carbon Fiber front fairing. To where it lines up to the bikes dash. Had to do the same thing on my Carbon front faring because the fitment wasn't as good as the factory faring. I won't name what company mine is because they were very cool and have great customer service. I have seen the carbon visionary and no molding/trim was needed.
That triple tree cover is long overdue for road glides with the bar and riser set up. Idk if anyone actually sells them yet. If yall know please tell me

Thx for clearing up the belt/chain thing. I feel the exact same way.
Couldn't agree more about the hydraulic clutch. I do not like the cable and wish Harley would revert back to the hydraulic. I also agree with the belt drive.

i just installed Wilbers on my 2022 RK….makes for a beautiful ride
Love the nickel finishes
That bike looked really good going 65mph down the freeway! 😉😉😉
Exactly "65 mph" lmao 🤣🤣
Those floor boards look awesome. I really like the nickle
A Tasty build right there, Hats off for the boys that built this one!!!
i have to say that's the nicest Road Glide i ever seen by far..WOW

Thanks, for sharing a very nice, impressive bagger. If you're into sportiness, it's definitely accessorised with a massive dose of sport appeal.
One very nice top of the line build.
It appears Matt had a blast riding this.
Not a bad way to spend 100 grand!!!
Badass RG
I've got a 22 CVO Road Glide Limited with the 131 Stage 4. But that carbon fiber is awesome and a lot of really cool bits on that one.
@Telegram me 👉 @ Mattlaidlaw1 how do I do that?
Fuck that put a Trask turbo on yours 1st
You throw the Screaming Eagle catalog at it.
@@niagarawaygmail I don't think I need it. Maybe after the warranty runs out
Exzellentes Bike, super Komponenten! Ich bin begeistert von eurer Arbeit.
At a first glance, I thought Matt was riding at 106.7MPH ... then I realised it was the frequency of the radio station :)
No, he wasn't going that slow 🤯
@@bluesriderDF *The **#SPAMMER** is back again‼️* ☝🏼 🤔 😡 🛑
Perfection on all the changes.
Sweet ride!!! I really like those upgrades!!!
Probably the sickest RG I’ve seen. Love it!
Extremely well done, deserves the showing you gave, enjoyed, thanks.
Awesome bike Matt you guys do beautiful work as does Roland !
Very nice Custom. Thanks for the review.
Matt Laidlaw doin videos for Roland Sands, that's pretty cool man. Matt is a good dude.
So many fantastic bikes - so little money. Thanks for sharing this build. Such detail all the way down to the Figurati Swing Arm covers!

Super hot. Love the carbon. That saddleman Colab looks smooth also
BOMB ASS ROAD GLIDE! RSD is on a Roll. 124ci is the perfect motor for the RG!
What do we think?! Are you kidding it’s mind-blowing 🤘🔥🤘
Awesome overview! Nice bike!
Everything that was done to the motorcycle really fits it well Really cool Thanks for the video take care
That's a nice build! Badass looking and looks like a blast to ride! Thanks for sharring Matt! 😎👍
Good looking bike. Really would look awesome done with the batwing 😉
For me it’s absolutely gorgeous I would give my right arm for one. Would love to have a rough idea on the value of this beauty though. Great video as always Matt.
Very Nice Thanks 😊
Cool and nice bike we really enjoy the video Matt 👍🏻
Really nice! Of course, it's what I would expect from RS studios! 😎
I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with MDB road king.
Super sweet ride Matt! Thanks for sharing it with us!
My brother made me laugh the other day when he called a new Harley a "starter kit" ! 🤣
💲💰💲💰 RSD makes top notch gear
SWEET!
What an awesome Road glide, very nice. Love the nickel accents.
Nice build. Thank you for the great content.
Nice Build Very Nice
Bike turned out killer. Looking good Jeff!
Thank you for sharing this with you.
Love the nickle look of the components!
Wow, awesome bike.,....wonder why he didn't use bst carbon wheels?....either way still an unbelievable road glide
Awesome bike and great content, Matt!! Would you have info on who makes the top triple tree cover with accessory buttons slots? Looks very clean.
Legit build.
Oh yeah nice bike with the RSD touches!
Wonder what to total cost for the bike and built would cost?
Bc I see thousand dollar bills everywhere I look on that bike. It is badass.
☝🏼 *The **#SPAMMER** is back **#Matt**.*
Looks like it handles the rough road with ease.
Gorgeous 😍
Did I miss the Born free bikes videos? I thought you guys would have made a video about the bikes your team made.
Nice build. Maybe once I’m done paying off my FXLRS, I’ll pick up a RG.

Sir, this is nice!
Dream build 🤤
Theres something about a black Harley they look so good.
Very nice build, looks like agood ride.
Extremely nice! 👍🏾
The nickel plating is a nice touch..
Wow. Beautiful.😯
So . . . how much? Do you know or would you guess?
Beautiful bike, and ouch on the gas, but fun cost!
Awesome ~thank you!

*Thanks **#Matt** for another great video.* ❤ 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 💗
Gorgeous. Not liking the bags being that high on the bike. But that's just a personal thing. First class all the way

I am in love....
Just frikken WOW.........
What kind of mirrors are those? They are dope.
Wicked! 🤘🏻
Was the Cruise Control able to be retained when changing to Brembo hand controls?
😮😮😮
So sick
Wow! Is the only thing to say.
100% Matt! Nothing was left untouched. Superb workmanship here. You won’t see to this out at your local IHOP. Although you might if it’s this bike and he likes pancakes. Good stuff.
Yea, it’s a nice one for sure. 👍🏼
Tremedous as a Sunday Driver!!
Wauw. Top machine.

Bike is sick. But needs a black chrome or smoked chrome exhaust like on the blue steel CVO.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
RIDE TO LIVE AND LIVE TO RIDE
What type of fork lock is that ? That would eliminate my issue with my Kraus risers
I’m really curious do you know what exact risers bars and triple trees were used on this build, it’s sexy :)
where did you get those heat shields ???
Yup. Perry done good!
i'll get you, sucka
Saucy 🤜
🔥
cool, are thee RSD parts available for purchase at Laidlaw's and the BBQ grill lumber rack looks cool
What passenger seat is that as I’m looking to find a detachable for my road glide?
Matt, how tall of a bar can you go with stock cables?
If I ever have half a bike as cool as that I will be grateful. Then again, I will be grateful for a stock bike.
Mantap bos
I have a Hoffman front fender on my SGS and it was $500. I can't imagine how much all that fiber cost on this bike.
Woooooow, that’s a nice bike!
That triple tree cover is long overdue for road glides with the bar and riser set up. Idk if anyone actually sells them yet. If yall know please tell me
What ignition switch is that?
