      I think someone was pranking you with that extremely long extension on the ratchet!!!
      Here’s a word about tools, the closer you are to what you are working on, the more torque you’ll be able to place on your fasteners!
      You only needed to use the ratchet and a torqx wrench socket on that sissy bar install!

    The low rider S is the best of the softails . It has dual disc front brakes which really makes a difference. The sissy bar is great for adding a back pack however they do make a riders back support that really takes all the stress out of your arms and hands. Great to see you are starting to wrench your own bike.

    I trust your more knowledgeable friends advised you that in the future, when installing a part with multiple fasteners, you get all fasteners loosely installed, then tighten until all just start to feel resistance, then final tighten. Some installs have specific patterns to tighten with torque specs, but your SB would be fine with the general rule.

    I am not a mechanic, but I grew up around heavy equipment that my dad owned. We rebuilt gas motors, diesel motors, final drives, and just about everything else that could break on trucks and heavy equipment. I said that to say this. If you have friends or relatives that work on cars, trucks, or bikes tell them to let you know when they have something to repair or when they add accessories. Watching people work on things and asking questions makes repairs and mechanic work less complicated. I don't enjoy playing mechanic, but there are very few things I can't fix. Also, see if you can't find someone to show you how to fix a flat on a motorcycle. You may not ever do it yourself, but it is a good thing to know. I know coming from someone you don't know this may not mean a lot, but I am proud of you for wanting to do your own work.

    Nice job on the sissy bar. Don't worry you'll get better with practice. I find having a sissy bar is a must I need something to strap my backpack to when I go riding I tend to carry extra gear just in case I need it one trick I've learned for cold weather riding is to put on your rain gear because it's windproof and it helps hold the heat in stay safe have fun see you in the next video

    I was worried you had cross threaded the second bolt when you met resistance early. Good thing it all went well. Don't worry about the mechanically inclined stuff, everyone has to start somewhere. It's great you are starting something new and learning other things along the way. Keep on sharing the journey 🙂

    The sissy bar looks cool. It feels good when you do your work on your bike. That vest looks like it would be a great item to have when riding in cooler weather. Nice gear review on that.
    Don’t be too hard on yourself about learning how to use tools to install things on your bike. There’s nothing wrong with learning as you go. A lot of guys learn like that too. So you’re not alone in that regard. And it looks like you did just fine. You got most of it done on your own, needed a little guidance but you ultimately did it by yourself. So, good on you! And as always, great scenic riding footage. Keep em coming! 🙂
