I used to ride a dirt bike some twenty years ago. Fast forward to this year. I bought a Yamaha 1300 V Star, and quickly found out it was more challenging than what I had anticipated. Due to the present situation with the corona virus, I couldn’t take any courses. So I watched countless of your videos, and practiced all the manoeuvres you teach, and I now have the confidence I need to ride. Thanks for all of your help.
My first bike was a Kawasaki KZ550, but I soon realized I wanted a cruiser for out here in Wyoming. After six months of riding the Kawi, I got a new '07 V Star 1300 and still have it. They are the best value in a midsize cruiser, have a bulletproof drivetrain, and with a few mods (Ivan's flash, quality 2-1 exhaust, and a cold air intake) they haul the freight better than most machines packing a LOT more displacement. Hope yours gives you many years of enjoyable two-wheeling!
I have a royal star 1300 and a v star 950. The royal star requires a big step up in experience even from the v star. Pretty ballsy to go from dirt bike to royal star!!!
Thank you for your time making these videos. Love your new bike. Hope you enjoy it! I just bought a 2020 Harley street glide special in vivid black and get mad compliments everytime I ride. Thanks again be safe brother!
Timeless, classic and just beautiful. All that motorcycling was meant to be. Nice choice Jerry. Ride safe and ride often. Life’s short, just buy the bike. What we the bike. Peace.
I bought the exact same bike on July 3rd. After seeing your blue one I started researching/ looking for one. Found mine at moonshine HD near Nashville TN. Had them put a 2 up seat, passenger floorboards and the civilian controls, in case I add a radio later. Thanks for introducing me to the police bargain bike motorman!
Congratulations, Mr. Palladino. That is a very handsome bike. I raised my eyebrow when you said 20K out the door for a 114-powered 'Glide. That is not too bad! Anyway, I hope she serves you well. Perhaps we will see it in up-coming instructional videos?
I bought one last year when a local municipality backed out of their deal. Had to wait, but worth it. Best value for Harley's cruiser line bar none! Put your own radio in it,.. or as I did, just leave the opening avail. for a quick place to put gloves, sun glasses, whatever. Harley's best music comes from between your legs. That 114 M8 really sings.
Love the video! I just picked up the same exact bike on Thursday and changed the seat to a Harley Badlander, windshield to the 10”, and added the passenger pegs. One word that best describes these FLHTP’s - AWESOME!!!
Thanks for the tip on the soft brake clutch handle. Just ordered one for my Road Glide. You are correct, the friction zone is a challenge with the Harley hydraulic clutch. I had it mastered on my old Heritage Classic (cable clutch). Looking forward to seeing the difference. 👍🏻
In September I bought a new 2019.5 electraglide std looks like yours but with the 107 m8 engine still has plenty of power and very smooth I took off the stock 12 inch hand adjustable shocks put on 13 inch air shocks they are much smoother , also added heated grips than did a cross country trip and back on it , makes a great inexpensive touring bike im very happy with it.

Very nice ride, Jerry. BTW, I just got a 2015 FLHP and that solo seat is getting changed tonight. I'm 6'2" and hate it. But, then again, at 70 I'm not as spry as I used to be. :D
Softbrake clutch handle. Holy Cow! What a difference this upgrade made. I ordered one, installed it, and immediately noticed the difference. My giant 2020 Road Glide Limited makes tight (full lock) u-turns with a breeze. I can now pull the bike into the garage with my feet on the floorboards. It’s like I have friction zone didnt exist before, but now it does. All the difference in the world. Thank you for recommending the softbrake.com clutch lever.
thanks for the ride Jerry.its a keeper for sure.that 114ci.is plenty and then some.the clutch lever conversation caught me good.i owned a 2014 flhx.now a 2019 flhx.my (6)bike.the friction zone,thats a disgrace on harleys part.Oberon Performance Ltd . i found this company makes adjustable clutch and front brake levers for harley davidsons.adjustable to your position.
I've got the same FLHTP from 2017 with the 107 + a few upgrades like S&S exhausts, complete Custom Dynamics LED's front and back, Corbin solo seat, mid '90's TourPak on the back, new Michelins, Legend shocks and more goodies. My fourth police bike going back to 80's. Great choice, Jerry....and they look best in BLACK !
Even though I'm a Goldwing guy, it's nice to see the other brands and their features. Maybe one day? Also thankful for our fine Law Enforcement Officers! Remember, you wouldn't get very far down the road without getting bike jacked if your Police are de-funded!
I have a 2015 Electra police bike, and I really enjoy it. I've ridden to Sturgis to Denver a half a dozen times, and to Oklahoma City. Your 2020 looks nice, and I like that it comes with the 114.
My dream bike. When I heard the Electra Glide Standard was coming back this was what I was hoping for. Instead it turned out to be more of a stripped down Street Glide.
Congrats on your new toy. Another great thing about those bikes are that they are a blank slate. You can customize as you want. I was going to wait for next year to get one but if what you say is true I may start looking for one now.
Jerry that is a beautiful bike and I’m glad it came your way. I have really come to enjoy your channel and the awesome videos. I now realize that I have only one year experience riding a variety of motors but have repeated it fifty years. I look forward to finding one of your classes hopefully in Texas. Do you have a video reviewing the old KZ 1000P Police bikes? I have an 82 model I Bought in 86 and would love to hear your thoughts on them as a police platform. Stay safe brother, Carl
very nice I have the 2013 electric glide classic/ heated grips in Florida? lol, you really need it, I wasn't aware it got that cold eh...you going to change the pipes as well? what kind do you use again?
In central Fl. from January to March it will get in the 30's in the mornings. I have Tab slip on's on my other bikes. I haven't thought about changing anything else on this bike yet.
@@MrGordon121 tabperformance.com they come standard with zombie baffles. I use their medium baffles since I have to keep a lower noise level when blogging.
You mentioned something I've wondered about. I have a new 2020 Road Glide, keeping 40 PSI, as recommended. Whenever I try to practice the slow U-turn, it feels like (as you just said), the motorcycle wants to pull/fall to the inside of the turn. Is that something I just need to learn to live with, or is my technique lacking? It makes me hesitant to try to turn more sharply for fear that I won't respond quickly or firmly enough to keep the motorcycle upright. Thanks for another great video! John
Can you please tell me the name of the dealership where you bought this awesome bike? I'm in Ca. and cant find any FLHTP listed at local dealerships. Would love to pick one up if I can find one.
It's in the description box under the video, Gator Harley Davidson in Leesburg Florida, www.gatorharley.com Ask for Warren Hill, tell him motorman sent ya. 352 787 8050
Retired/current police officers can also buy the police bikes without the normal 90 day wait. Also for instance, when a current/retired officer buys one of the normal police models, there is a good discount given by Harley. Firefighter models are also discounted.
I really liked my 2020 Heritage till I took a test rid on the Electra Glide police model yesterday. I bought it but at Moonshine Harley in Franklin,Tn . They had already converted it to civilian use. Did not get running lights or passenger pegs. It drives really smooth much smoother than my Heritage. When I sold down as I am coming to a stop it feels like I am running over a rumble strip on the side of the road. They put a trike seat on mine. I don’t think I can live with that seat. I also am 5’ 7” tall cannot get my feet flat on ground. A retired motorcycle officer now Harley salesman suggested I replace rear shocks and lower bike one inch. I know your opinion on lowering bike.
Get a stock Road King, Street Glide, seat or a seat from an Ultra low, or a reach seat. Or, a E/glide standard solo seat. All those will get you much closer to the ground.
Ride Like a Pro Jerry Palladino thanks Jerry, just ordered clutch, brake and rear brake from Softbrake.com. This bike is so different from previous bikes I have had it’s almost like starting over when I hit the turns. Thanks again on seat recommendations.
Thanks for the Soft Brake recommendation. I just got back from testing out the clutch lever and rear brake lever on my 2014 Limited. A very nice improvement over stock!! Again, thanks for helping me spend my money. :) I hope you get a comission. LOL
Not all it's cracked up to be, I'm 6'2" and I had to buy a 3" taller than stock windshield for my 05 Ultra because the wind coming over the top of the stock windshield hit's me right in the center of my forehead, after hours on the highway it was enough to drive me nuts.
@@Moamanly Yea, I got sick of hunching over so the wind didn't hit my forehead, I've got several bikes but that Ultra is for long highway trips and my days of getting beat up by the wind all day long for days at a time on the highway are over. After 20 years of riding a hardtail I grew brains.
I think the height a man identifies as might be inversely correlated with their actual height. I know a 5'4" guy who identifies as a 7 foot barbarian / big brother to The Rock, or at least you'd get that impression by the way he acts...
Great machine Motorman, I have the same bike in the 107...FLHT....I really like mine...The only thing I don't care for is the Solo seat which I find uncomfortable because of the little back support that it offers..otherwise, awesome machine...Enjoy.
I haven't noticed any excessive heat. Keeping in mind, I'm in Fl., it's 95 degrees, and you're sitting on top of a motor. So at a stop light, it's hot.
Hi Jerry, I have a question, had a few bikes over the years, currently ridding a Honda Shadow 750. My issue, when I make a full left turn, I have to move my leg out away from the fuel tank as to not hit my leg. My guess is the handle bars might be a little low, but noway to adjust it, that I have found, sadly. I am 6 foot, long legs, lol. Is my guess correct and is there any other way around not pushing my knee away from the tank that I might be able to practice. Thank you for all you do, I also live in central Florida and one day would love to take your class, but waiting on getting a Gold Wing again first. God Bless
Sweet ride! I’m a police officer as well and I’d love to add one of these to my garage at some point. Got on my first HD about 2 1/2 years ago and I won’t ever own anything else.
Boris McGillicutty personal preference. I’ve ridden Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, KTM, and I prefer Harley. Never been on an Indian, but I can’t get past the look of them. If I were to get on an Indian I might change my mind. Harley is it for me.
@@anthonydarnell6825 Cool. I've never ridden one. Ive ridden all the Japanese bikes and prefer Yamaha out of all of them. I love how Harley looks but I have concerns about the constant vibrating. I have back problems and rheumatoid arthritis.
Boris McGillicutty I understand. I have a Rushmore bike, and haven’t ridden an M8 Harley, but I believe the vibration is much less in the M8. I can’t describe it, just something about a Harley that is different. I love mine.
Like your teaching and techniques, and many years of knowledge that you share with us, one question I have does 40lb of air in front tire wear more that the 36???
What did the dealer ask for the already converted police bikes Appleseed to what your did.what did you do that they did not do in their conversion. Thanks again.
@@missingremote4388 that's a dealbreaker for me though I'm sure it could be added. Cheaper to do a stage one on a 107 than change all that other stuff I would think. Unless the Police model is really that cheap.
Hey my brother sexy new bike enjoy I own a 2012 dyna switchback love it and I love your videos 📹 love to watch you ride my brother BADASS oh yah TY for your service and your son too i served in the US 🇺🇸 Army stay safe out there my brother
Thank you Jerry, Is your preference the Road King or ultra standard Police issue and Why? This is a great comfort to me I am currently considering the ultra standard but would prefer the police issue . I also have always had a liking for any Road King (for some reason). So because I do not know as much about the bikes would treasure-your opinion on this matter. Ride comfort and handling are my concerns. FUI My current bike is an 06 ultra classic “I am a New rider on bigger bikes “
I'd include a pic of my 2020 black & white FLHTP but its not an option on TH-cam comments. They're a great bike! Already highly modified mine, waiting on the 2 year mark to go Stage 2.
Motorman did you ever do a test ride on a tri glide?? I just had to switch to one 30 yrs laying floor coverings took my knees out couldnt hold my electra glide anymore and after 46 yrs riding i wasnt about to give up!!!
I remember you saying about the 40 lbs of air in the tires to help with slow speed turns. Does this have any adverse effect on the performance of the tires at highway or interstate speeds, or in wet rainy roads? Living in Southern Illinois, we get consistent triple digit temps and crazy humidity. Road temps are crazy hot, being higher inflated do you think this would be a problem? Congratulations on a beautiful bike!!!
I used to ride a dirt bike some twenty years ago. Fast forward to this year. I bought a Yamaha 1300 V Star, and quickly found out it was more challenging than what I had anticipated. Due to the present situation with the corona virus, I couldn’t take any courses.

Thanks for all of your help.
Vstars are the best in my opinion. I have a 650 custom, an 1100 classic and a 1300 tour. Ride all 3 of them weekly.
My first bike was a Kawasaki KZ550, but I soon realized I wanted a cruiser for out here in Wyoming. After six months of riding the Kawi, I got a new '07 V Star 1300 and still have it.

That’s a good tip about tire pressure. Thanks Motorman.
I missed that part, what is the tip?
BigBlock502. 8.28 go back and check it out.
Adding 40 # air pressure front and back tires says it keeps front end from being mushy
Thanks, don't know how I missed that. I will try it out on my 2016 Ultra.
Agreed. That is helpful if you're doing around town riding. I wonder what the effect would be for touring? Increased wear?
Nice bike Jerry....back in the day I had a Birch White 82 FLHP...loved it!
Congratulations Jerry. Best regards to You.

You may need to tighten the nut behind the handlebars. Use the ''practice wrench'' to get that nut good and tight.

@@missingremote4388 that's a dealbreaker for me though I'm sure it could be added. Cheaper to do a stage one on a 107 than change all that other stuff I would think. Unless the Police model is really that cheap.
My 2019 came with cruise. Perhaps that is in the civilian conversion kit?
Nice ride Jerry, hopefully I’ll see you at leesburg in November
Dang it Jerry, just when I was deciding to keep my 2007 RK, you come up with this jewel. I also note it has the radio delete.
Police bikes don't come with a radio.
Congrats on the new bike! Just one request though. Tab Performance pipes please! Your other motorcycles sound fantastic with them!
Sweet looking ride Joe 👏👏👍
Thanks 👍 It's Jerry 😎
Jerry, I assume you will be painting your tour pack again
No. They come in black and I happen to have one left from my 2014 FLHTP.
Where did you buy it and do they have more ?
Gator Harley in Leesburg Fl. call and ask if they have more. 352-805-1861
Ride Like a Pro Jerry Palladino thanks I’m in Weeki Wachee
@@motorman857 thanks I'm picking mine up tomorrow and will take your course. Do you know if they're wired for a radio or nav system ?
@@edhickey3163 I'm not sure. Did you get it at Gator H.D. ?
@@motorman857 no unfortunately
Good info on the soft brake levers . Did you change the rear brake pedal too?
I like that bike .
No I left the rear brake as is.
I’m 5.7 too and knowing you are also 5.7 and ride those big bikes gives me more confidence 👍

I have yet to find a 2020 FLHTP, where do I go Jerry??
Call Warren Hill at Gator Harley in Leesburg Florida, www.gatorharley.com Tell him I sent you.
Congrats on the bike. Looks great. Like the sound quality on your video too. What microphone/audio system do you like to use for vlogging?
didnt you just get a new bike not that long ago?? either way Congrats~ nice big motor
Is that 40 psi hot or cold in the tires?
Cold.
@@motorman857 thank you, I know the pressure goes up as you ride because of the heat.
I'm still on my 2004 police model electraglide. Still shiny and runs good for an old school 88 inch. But its paid for!
Have a 2012 flhtp, did the upgrades for daily use, outstanding ride
Mine is an 04 Road King Police and I love it.
Thank you Jerry,
Is your preference the Road King or ultra standard Police issue and Why?
This is a great comfort to me I am currently considering the ultra standard but would prefer the police issue .
I also have always had a liking for any Road King (for some reason).
So because I do not know as much about the bikes would treasure-your opinion on this matter.
Ride comfort and handling are my concerns.
FUI My current bike is an 06 ultra classic
“I am a New rider on bigger bikes “
I'd include a pic of my 2020 black & white FLHTP but its not an option on TH-cam comments. They're a great bike! Already highly modified mine, waiting on the 2 year mark to go Stage 2.
Jerry - what brand camera do you use besides the GoPro - my GoPro no longer syncs with my iPhone XS Max ... thank in advance 👍🏻
What does your moto fleet consist of?
Nice bike 👍🏻
Motorman did you ever do a test ride on a tri glide?? I just had to switch to one 30 yrs laying floor coverings took my knees out couldnt hold my electra glide anymore and after 46 yrs riding i wasnt about to give up!!!
Really nice bike, any chance of doing a video on the motorhome
I think it would be really interesting
Soft break clutch handle? i did notice your bike friction zone was near the handle. That's why?
I want that.
Beautiful bike
I remember you saying about the 40 lbs of air in the tires to help with slow speed turns. Does this have any adverse effect on the performance of the tires at highway or interstate speeds, or in wet rainy roads? Living in Southern Illinois, we get consistent triple digit temps and crazy humidity. Road temps are crazy hot, being higher inflated do you think this would be a problem? Congratulations on a beautiful bike!!!
I've never felt any adverse effects of 40lbs of air in the front tire.
