To each his own. My son bought his first bike, a Dyna. It had chrome covers everywhere. We now have a box full of bling ready for the trash and the bike looks respectable now.
Yes sir Dave...to each his own. I have a fully chrromed out Street glide and a fully blacked out road glide...with this style bike we choose to add some chrome. ...thjats not saying everything will stay on it...but it does give our audience a good choice of chrome pieces that they can install if they choose. Really its more about showing our audience what they can do at home...the bikes are never really "done" we will see how she turns out later. Thanks for checking it out!
Hahahaha. You may notice…. You’re awesome man. Most ppl would give some BS about equipment failure, not Steve, “I’m a dumbass and forgot to turn my mic on”. Yet another reason I watch ALL your videos. I don’t currently or ever plan to own any sort of softail and am very handy. Have done a lot of these mods myself, already, BUT I have to watch all your stuff, you deserve it brother. Thanks again for taking your time to help our ppl!
Hey, thank you, RJ...and yeah man...what a DUH moment I had sitting here editing and no sound...I just dropped my head and laughed..that's all I could do. Now had that been a larger more sophisticated part I probably would have made up a few new cuss words...but since it was just some covers I walked out and took them back off that night. What a dummy....I know better too...I always check to make sure it's on and my batteries aren't dead..that's also happened lol Thanks for hanging in there with us on the Softail too...much appreciated sir!
I gotta be honest I had no interest in this style until you started this project. I always watch your videos anyway just to pick up some tips but I'm really liking this bike!
Thank you Greg! Thats what I was hoping for ...I said it a few times in the start that I was hoping to not loose my bagger guys over a softail build but a lot of this can be converted over to the touring models too. Thanks for hanging in there with us!
These last two vids have given you a whole different bike. I really like the wheels and tires but wow. All that chrome! 🤩 I am seeing this bike without the passenger pillion now. Lean and mean. Looking great Steve.
Yes we have a seat on order that is much thinner but still doing a 2 up seat...should still look very bice though, I hope, for the price of the seat anyway lol Just another part we are waiting on though
wish you would have talked about the lower belt guard, it has 3 holes the one in the front is the one that concerns me, is there a nut on the other side of that bolt??
Is there a way to mount a chrome toolbox ( left ) on a 2018 softtail deluxe? I know it needs to be a custome mount, just not 100% sure how or where to attach it.
Im certainly going to find out lol...I have ordered one and I think I can make it work with some drilling and maybe some universal clamps. I will do a video on it when I get it and figure it out.
Are you installing chrome switch housing and switch covers . Thanks love these videos . They are a big help and you make so much easier to work my heritage.
We have all new chroem perches, switch housings and switches going on after we get the braided lines and handlebars on...maybe the same video...not sure yet depends on the time on the cable video...but yes look out for those videos coming out very soon!
What a great option. From full blown chrome Swing arm. The wife's been wanting a chrome SA. Question: do they make these for 2014 Sportster 1200 (Touring Models)
Yeah way cheaper than a full blown chrome swing arm lol With the sportster having a different rear frame and the shocks on the outside it would be diferent than this but I know HD makes the rear swingarm axle nut covers for your bike
Hey Stan..I got mine at ace hardware...it took some digging and finally found some that would work...but i got stainless and polished them and wheel grinder with a buffing pad...chrome ones were about 6 bucks a piece.
I don’t understand the preload of the lock tight. It just makes everything harder. Not mention costly if you have to order the parts again if you strip the head of the bolt. Great video.
kuryakyn drives me insane with that stuff...I learned that lesson a long time ago with them. When your bolt head is softer than your dried Loctite, you're in for a bad day.
well i picked this one up for about 10k and its a 15...but it booked at about 14 at the time...just have to hold off to find that unicorn like I did..just remember its a toy , not a must have...so just wait til the right one comes along.
Thank you! These are the Kuryakyn covers...youll have to enter your bike to see which part number you need and you can usually find them cheaper on ebay or amazon www.kuryakyn.com/products/371/swingarm-covers
good eye! and yes I did...however these fishtails are coming off and new bassani fishtails are going on in a future video, we have had them for about 3 months and I still havent gotten to installing them....these were cheapo knock off pipes we tried just to see if we wanted to do fishtails.
I’ve been on the hunt for those boomerang covers for my 2012 heritage do you think the part number you used would work on mine? P.S you do amazing work I e watched the cholo build for reference on mine thank you!
Quick question here for ya bud. Is it okay to just do cams on a 114 if you don’t wanna do anything else to it? Just for the lope sound bike has already a full stage 1 installed. Thanks and Thank you for your Service as well
The the build! And the direction your going with the bike. The grey and orange to me don't go together. If it was black instead of grey it would flow with the rest of the bike.
Its just called a rear axle cover...If you bought this same kit I dont think you can just replace that one part but alternately you can buy them from another company and just swap both out so they match..here is one on amazon that I had bookmarked amzn.to/43e8CHG
I have a 2010 Heritage classic. My wife would like the rear footpegs higher a d a bit forward. I have the 2" extentions on it right now but wanted to see if you had any ideas?
the only ones I have seen are the under seat mounts...not sure if this is what youre looking for though www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/kuryakyn-underseat-passenger-foot-peg-mounts-for-harley-softail
I use Colonite 845 insulator wax on everything...literally everything, cars trucks, bikes, camper you name it...it is no wax for amutures though...but its easy to work with if you know how...our local car club guys tuned me on to it along with Jescar Power Lock + sealant ...they all use it in their show cars..tons of videos on that combo on youtube too..the biggest thing is its thick for a liquid when you get it...put some warm water in your sink and lket the bottle soak for about 5 minutes and let the wax melt some..shake the ever loving crap out if it as long as you can...once its good and mixed.. a little goes an extremely long way. tin coats or you will be spending all day getting it off..make sure you do not do it in the sun or if your panels are hot. you follow those steps and you'll be gold and using one of the best waxes on the market for the price. you will even see in the amazon "other customers bought" its the jescar and the applicator I've listed. and I use The rag company creature edgless towels... one side is heavy pile for buffing after you remove the wax and one side is short pile for removing waxes Colinite - amzn.to/35xRbsA Jescar - amzn.to/3tcDoA2 1 each applicator for both - amzn.to/3vovlTw towels - amzn.to/3te7VgN

Great videos Steve. I watched some a month or two back and now can not locate it? I was looking to chrome cover my rear pulley and looking for your video. Hoping to chrome cover inner primary and a few more things. Thanks in advance. John "03 Fatboy"

With the cholo look are you planning on putting fishtails on the bike? If so it looks like those frame covers cover up the bolt holes on the left side of the frame that you'll probably end up needing.

Excellent and simple explanation... Many thanks.
Youre very welcome! Glad to help!
The cabinetry really cleaned up the shop. It gives a nice backdrop for the videos. Keep up the good work.

I love a Harley that blinds me in the sun!
this one will certainly do it lol
Thanks!
Thank you! Much appreciated!! Glad the videos have helped! Have a Merry Christmas!
I’ll send some pics of my Soft Tail. For every video I watch to do something on my bike, I won’t forget you.
Absolutely beautiful. That bike has come a long way with some simple add ons.
Thank you Mike..big add ons still coming!
I LOVE the chrome dress up kit, LOOKS GOOD Steve !!!!!
Thank you rex! Its getting there.
Watching this build has me thinking about my deluxe and what I need to buy for it LOL
Good job looks good
Thank you Billy!
I love you man keep them coming on the vicla
Dude..That thing is looking SIK!
Thank you Sir!
That is looking so good man. You can shave off of the reflection… not you, but me lol. That is beautiful!
hahah yeah man I cant shave...hell I forgot what I look like at this point...it hides the age! LOL
Looking great and nice install tips. Going to install those very soon and get some of that chrome therapy.
Heck yeah James it really changes the overall look of the bike...small chrome pieces sets her off!
Another EXCELLENT video!
Thank you Brohamsky!
Great instructions. thanks for posting
Thank you! Glad it helped!
Great Video and the covers really pop on the bike.
Thank you J....and agreed...really changed the look for way less money then buying a full on chrome swing arm and frame lol
Thanks Steve, another great video
Very welcome!!
Great video! This is just what I'm looking for. I checked the link to Amazon, but don't see my year bike. Do you think it will fit 2023 heritage?
wish you would have talked about the lower belt guard, it has 3 holes the one in the front is the one that concerns me, is there a nut on the other side of that bolt??
the front bolt goes into a threaded hole on the frame. There is no nut. the threads in the frame
Looks awesome.
Thank you Michael!

Never seen them for the touring models..most people switch out the swing arm itself to a chrome one on the baggers
I want a Softail so bad yours is perfect for me how much do they run use
well i picked this one up for about 10k and its a 15...but it booked at about 14 at the time...just have to hold off to find that unicorn like I did..just remember its a toy , not a must have...so just wait til the right one comes along.
