In addition to changing your battery in the FOB, change/set your security PIN on the bike. I have bought two bikes now that had the factory default PIN set. That means anyone who knows the default PIN can walk up to your bike without the FOB and start it and take off with it.
I know a few people who lost their saddlebags with the OEM fastener. I switched to the Rick Rak fasteners with the detents. Never had an issue with them. The most important thing to check is the chain tensioner on the primary. Get rid of that get a self adjusting chain adjuster.
I am just seeing this video. I have myself a 2017 ultra limited. I will check these. When i get home. Also, i noticed that you have a carolina hat on. To me. That means that you must live some where in South Carolina. If you do. I do, too.
The oil should be a touch low. The oil pressure with it on is different. Full will cause oil seepage. Nice bike. Thanks for the tip on the bags. I checked. Mine are tight. Lol.
I know this video is 2yrs old. I bought my 2014 Street Glide new in 2014. The saddle bag clips were recalled, Harley replaced mine for free. The saddle bag clips were much longer and locks in. (I had a lot of friends, their bags fell off.) The MOST important thing to check is the hydraulic clutch. It was recalled and Harley fixed mine at no charge as well. So if you bought a new Street Glide and don't know if it was upgraded, take to the Harley Dealership.
good on the bag but id like to add about the blinking red light. change your factory code and learn how to start your bike without you fob. then do it every now and again.
How Crazy Bro! I bought my 2015 Road Glide & the first decent Ride my Bag fell off & got smashed on the freeway with my new chaps in the Bag!!! Smdh... Harley should do better... Good pointers though! I wish I would have watched u sooner lol 🤪 Big Ups to you 👍

Good point! Thanks for the input.
I buy a 2 pack of batteries and keep them in my saddle bag. Used one on myself and helped a stranded biker last year with them.
That was kind of you.

Those OEM fasteners were awful. Checking the tensioner is a good recommendation. I haven’t had an issue with mine though. Thanks for watching!
Same here. I lost a saddlebag and was given the bolts in 2017, I wasn't aware they came out with a new lock. Great video.
Thanks for the tips I just picked up a Harley this my first one will be posting content soon
Ordered the new saddle bag bolts, thanks for the heads up!!!

Right on! Definitely important as well.
Truuuuu like how u got down the third was helpful as shit appreciate u my guy .. all the way from fort worth tx
solid video man, I need to get those saddlebag pin replacements myself
Snag em, replacing my bag was not cheap haha.
Yup me too, gonna order them today, took my bags off for the winter and thought those pins were a little chincy, thanks for the idea.
I'm pretty sure harley says screw the dip stick back in then out to properly measure the oil level

This is good advice. I have been rolling the dice. I’ve seen guys forget their keys and get stranded……in another state haha.
