      I might suggest turning your resolution up on the video playback setting. That helps a lot. Mobile usually defaults to 720 or worse if your internet sucks. Videos recorded and rendered 4K on the same equipment your favorite creator uses so I know that’s not an issue.
      Try that, play it back and let me know what you think id love to help you get the best viewing experience possible.

    I did it exactly the same way. It works well, more or less. Important: you as the driver as well as a second person on the bike will weigh much more, wearing motorcycle gear as helmet, boots, leather jacket und pants with protectors in it, maybe 10kg per person.

    Hey man, just wanted to say this was a great video both knowledge-wise and content-wise. You've got a great personality that made an informative video enjoyable to watch. Would definitely go cruise with you if I'm ever unfortunate enough to find myself in Mississippi ;)

      @@NostalgicMotorcycles Because I'm a dumbass and meant Florida lmfao. No idea where Mississippi came from - think those potholes on default suspension are taking a toll on my brain as much as my spine.
      Florida heat/humidity doesn't agree with my northeastern ass but I've spent the last few years in Texas so who knows, maybe I've adjusted by now lol.

      Lmfao I can see that being a thing for sure. With the wrong settings this bike is jarring.
      Also humidity does suck. Sweat is serious it’s like damp and hot all at the same time.

      That is where I have mine. A little closer to comfort in the back because the rear shock is what you feel in the seat.

    Like Tyson…. I too broke my back…. Spinal!!
    I was out enjoying my Sportster S and hit a bump on the expressway that I wasnt aware of until my spine absorbed the brunt of the shock. Three weeks later my back is still tight. 😂😂😂. Ive hit that same transition of pavement in the road hundreds of times on my Road Glide with no issues.

      I made adjustments, but I’m so paranoid now, that I lift my body up before going over anything that appears to be a threat. So I don’t know if my adjustments helped or not. I’ve owned 16 bikes over the years and that was the worst experience I’ve ever had with a bump. Shit was brutal. It was Spinal…😂😂😂😂

      Have you ever wondered why sets come with either a 19 or 3/4. Never both. Metric usually goes to 18mm but there is a 3/4.
      Also selling an sae set with a 19 mm makes no sense. And metric with a 3/4 makes no sense. Look it up bro you will end up like this 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
