Thank You! I appreciate the support. Yes, wearing glove’s absolutely helps. It’s easier to wipe off the glove than it is your hand. For some reason, I just didn’t wear any this time.
Great video man , ill take all the help i can get. Just picked up a 23 lowrider st and will do maintenance myself. Coming from a ducati monster which has very few video how to's.. excellent video..thank you..😊
I’ve never tried the liquid balancer. I don’t know how that would hold up over time, and if different temperatures would have any effect. I’m currently testing out the bead Balance of the front tire. I like to visually see the weights, and if one falls off I can always add another
Once again! What a great video! Just installed new Metzler CruizeTec tires and rear brakes. Got rage wheel Allignment tool and the rear axle nut tool. Made it so easy! Thank you Sir!
Your videos are the best! Very well explained and detailed! Thank you! Just ordered the rear axle locking tool and Alignment tool! I never knew it existed before I saw your video. Always struggled with getting the rear axle and wheel straight.
Just balanced my wheel flowing your video! Bought balance stand from Harbor Freight. The balance came out spot on perfect The motorcycle shop balanced the same wheel twice and couldn’t get it correct! , thanks
I’ve never ridden with Galfer Rotors before, so I can’t really say which one is better. I would say that the Lyndalls Coiled ring retaining system vs the Galfer button style is far superior. I have heard those rattle over time
Love those rotors! Question though, can I change just the front? I feel like thats alot of work for something that's hidden by my saddlebags anyway. But, performance wise.....will changing just the front be a problem?
Very well done video. However, I can give a little word of caution for well used rotors and bolts. Due to the extreme heat those bolts are exposed to during operation, heat,and penetrating fluid can help to remove the weak t45 design of that particular bolt. Lastly, close attention should be focus in keeping the t45 and ratchet in a STRAIGHT 90 degree angle. I have seen many high end t45 bolts and bits damage due to proper use or lack of proper preparation. Great information has been publish on this particular subject.
@@RAIDERWORLD so are you saying one of the cam lobs would have been worn or shorter than the other, even with the belt to tight the cam, if same would have made the alignment 'correct' or is there something else we are looking for like the swing arm shaft possibly worn so moving slightly lateral?
@@RAIDERWORLDit seems that we may use different terminology. What you refer to as rear tire removal, I would call rear wheel removal. As a guy who has already removed my rear wheel from my bike, I was hoping to see your tire come off your wheel! Nevertheless, your procedure is meticulous and your aftermarket parts selection is primo👌.
I appreciate your videos , I did change my rear tire successfully thanks to your videos, by the chance do you know why is belt deflection for a 2017 road glide special? I lost my service manual😞 I notice you have same bike
I’m glad this video was helpful. It should show it on the Harley Website or the forums. It should be the same for 2015-2021 models, but not 100%. You can always purchase a digital service manual online for around $25
Surprised you did not change that ugly sprocket for a powder coated one in Gold LOL - I just bought the alloy art cush drive, thank you for the tip - upgrading my rear sprocket to a gloss black one for my new 2024 RG CVO ST as well as a new floating rotor, HD only did floating rotors on the front of the CVO (Go Figure LOL).... Love your videos RW. Keep them coming.
I like your style and really enjoy your videos. I always use gloves with anti seize, cause it tends to get everywhere and it’s hard to get off.

That’s awesome! Thank You. Congratulations on the new scoot 🤘🏽 You will find plenty of how-to’s on these Harleys for sure
Love the rotors!! It just put a different flavor on the bike
They definitely do make a world of difference. Not only in looks, but serious stopping power
Great video as always 🤘
Thank You! I definitely appreciate it 🤟🏽
What are your thoughts on the liquid tire balancer. You make working on your bike look so easy.

, thanks
That’s great to hear! Definitely an easy project
What you think are better performing these brakes or the galfer??
I’ve never ridden with Galfer Rotors before, so I can’t really say which one is better. I would say that the Lyndalls Coiled ring retaining system vs the Galfer button style is far superior. I have heard those rattle over time
Love those rotors! Question though, can I change just the front? I feel like thats alot of work for something that's hidden by my saddlebags anyway. But, performance wise.....will changing just the front be a problem?
There’s nothing wrong with just changing out the front. You will still be adding additional stopping power.
@@lyndallbrakes wow that's awesome. Thanks! However, I already installed your brakes and rotors shortly after I had posted that question.
Awesome video! Thanks!
Thank You 🙏🏽
Thank you for the details on all your videos, question? When you do the final torque 140ftlb that’s when bike weight on the floor ?
Thank You for the support and watching! It doesn’t really matter. As long as your wheel is locked and not in neutral or spinning, it should be fine.

Absolutely, thank you for the input 👍🏽
Im curious, given you have a fixed cam on your rear axle, what would you have done if the alignment was off?
I would have turned that cam adjuster until the belt diflection was correct and re-check both sides of the axle for proper alignment with the swingarm
@@RAIDERWORLD so are you saying one of the cam lobs would have been worn or shorter than the other, even with the belt to tight the cam, if same would have made the alignment 'correct' or is there something else we are looking for like the swing arm shaft possibly worn so moving slightly lateral?
Another great vid. Question, does the pulley and isolator not play role in the balancing?
Nope they do not, main reason being that they are not fixed to the tire 👍🏽
Slick vid, nice job. I see you like to have the proper tools for the job like me😅. That Jim's tool was cool.
Thank You! Yes, the right tools make the job a lot easier.
Good video, but where is the tire removal?
Thank You! Should be somewhere in this video lol

Oh ok, I got you now. Unfortunately I do not have any videos (yet) covering tire removal. I will in the future 🤘🏽
Great video, learned a lot.

Haha! It’s definitely on the list. These things get expensive lol. I’m glad these videos are helpful, and Thank you for the support 🤘🏽
Your bike is bad A! The brakes are one of a kind.
Thank You Brother! I’m definitely looking forward to the rest
