Kraus makes a really nice pull back plate, the t-Rex, combine that with pull back risers and a taller bar and it’ll bring things closer and maintain the look.
OMG I missed this so much. Thanks a lot Danny, Colin and crew at GHD, my day started with a 20 minutes belly laugh 🤣🤣🤣 But best detail of all was ... Danny wants to do long haul bike riding!!! YAY 🎉🎇 means we get new vlogs !!! Life is good ❤
WTG Danny, gotta make your bike your own. Last April i bought a new Sport Glide, and immediately set about customizing it to my liking. The 2 major changes were a Saddlemen seat with built in driver's backrest, and a set of 5" pullback risers, that moved the handlebars back just enough to make it WAY more comfortable, but not so far back that I needed to change the standard brake/clutch cables . Turned the bike into a different beast. Keep up the good work!
To me it's your bike in the end and you have to make your bike custom for you for your best handling and these handlebars are perfect for you for the long hall, I have the same type on my bike and found them the best for distance riding Danny, CHEERS Brother!!!
If you asked me, i would take normal height risers with a higher handlebar. And choose a 1,25” thick😊. I have the Saddlemen SDC Pro (the non knot) on my RKS and this seat is fabulous! No asspain at all! Even i did the handlebar job myself and put a 14” gangsterape on it, and a new clutchcable in one piece (then you gig rid of the yellow piece). But, you have to dismantle the complete exhaust system to reach the side cover (R). When i was there put a “Muller clutch or “Advanblack” in it to make the pull 40% lighter)….
Nice work, Danny. You'll be amazed how much more comfortable the handlebars are now. They are the equivalent to 16" bars on an old bike. You will have more control over your steering now, and it's like having power steering through leverage. Stay upright, mate. Live to Ride. 👍
Always good videos. Keep up the hard work. Don’t worry about what negative people say. They are a small percentage of your viewers. We are from two different worlds but both like motorcycles and I enjoy watching!!
I'm 5'9 and im with you, the bars need to come back and up. Just about where you have yours would be just about right for me as well. I think more people would really like the bike if harley set it up more you have it, as a light sport touring bike. Better seat, forward controls and bringing the handlebars up and back a good bit.
Look into pull back plates it brings the riser back 2 inch so u dont have run those mini apes. Then get a high bend bar from thrashin and that should be enough
Yea im 5’7 and im running thrashin rg pullback plate it (works for softail) adds 2in 3/8 height and puts bars back towards u 1in 5/8, thrashin 1in extension, thrashin 6 1/2 pull back risers, 3.5 in bars so total height is 13 3/8 in and i have a nice bend to my arms super comfortable.
Hi Danny, love your clips i always look forward to seeing what your next adventure is, I have a Low Rider ST as well & I’m about to have 9 1/2 inch pull back risers put on mine, did you think about changing to maybe 8 1/2 or 9 1/2 pull back risers, one of the workers did say that to you, but you are happy with the bars you have chosen, I really look forward to seeing how the bike feels and looks.Ride safe brother 🤙🏽😎
I really love the grumpy guys from the dealership giving you a hard time.... Makes the video even more entertaining... And yeah, it still looks horrible... ;-)
I always thought it was a good idea to buy a bike that fits you. You proved me wrong. Looks like the Harley guys can make anything work. I really likes that Road King you were riding before and even looked for one. Too much money. I'll have to keep riding the the old bikes that are teady for the trash bin.
gotta love Colin.
“thats if you get lonely on the road”….priceless
Col is the best.
-i've got f*king everything Colin😂 pure gold!
I came here to say exactly that. 😂🤣
You ripper Collin I’ve missed him he cracks me up.
Your vids are my favorite. I literally laugh out loud watching you and Colin. Those interactions with him are the best.
Great to see you happy again looks to me like you have overcome the fog . Must have been the ice bath.stay happy mate.
Kraus makes a really nice pull back plate, the t-Rex, combine that with pull back risers and a taller bar and it’ll bring things closer and maintain the look.
Kraus is most definitely the way to go
OMG I missed this so much. Thanks a lot Danny, Colin and crew at GHD, my day started with a 20 minutes belly laugh 🤣🤣🤣
But best detail of all was ... Danny wants to do long haul bike riding!!! YAY 🎉🎇 means we get new vlogs !!! Life is good ❤
Col & the boys don’t exactly lift your spirits do they Danny? 🤣 It makes for excellent viewing though. Thanks for the laughs 🙌🏻
Very good episode Danny.. The crowd all agree.. This is the type of stuff we like. Thanks for the effort you put in.
I really enjoy the garage shows.
Great guys and gals 👍
Like the colour of that bike, that old lady was a good sport. Nice to hear new adventures are on the horizon.
Absolutely love when you go into GHD. So funny. Laughing from start to the end of this video. Keep these videos coming
Bars look good 👍 nice to see Colin and the team again
Can't bloody wait for the next long haul 🏍
The crew at GHD never let us down :D Looking forward to seeing how the bike rides!
Sure was great to see Colin and the crew again . Bars look great Danny. Angelas sister was a hoot.
So glad to see you back Danny!
I'm definitely with the boss on the no socks deal LOL
Great to see you back with the Geelong gang Danny, bringing a lot of laughs along the way 😃
good vid bud, love how Col keeps you grounded
Production quality on your videos is awesome. I love the banter in the shop....those bars are cool, by the way!
Absolutely love the colour of that bike
Yeah! And in real, it is just awesome! The video doesn't show the real depth of it.
@@xomoto I'm sure Danny will ride it and show us more
Danny.... Col knows what he is talking about with HD mechanical........... when it comes to comfort on long haul riding..........U da man.
Just two engineers wrenching on a bike 😂
Great to see you back Danny! The bars almost look like ape hangers! Who cares about cool, when you got comfort mate!
just wrenching away
9:55
Biggest pain in the Arse is dealing with you 😅
Luv Collin's patients.
I
I absolutely love it when you visit the shop!
"The biggest PITA is dealing with you!" Love it!

Nice! Sounds like a great set up. @benson-xc2uv
Thanks. I also mounted a Saddlemen Drifter Express rear bag on luggage rack. Looks great and practical as well
@@saddlemenusa
Appreciate the kind words @@Benson-xc2uv
"If your lonely on the road"....Colins the best.
So pleased your back Danny “UK”
Bars are very important for your comfort. I changed mines several times.
Cheers from France mate
Danny great vlog as always,Geelong HD love you guys and always a laugh with you all.
"That's for if you're lonely on the road" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 a Colin Classic
Thats got to be his best episode yet it will take a bloody good one tp beat that
You can also get the saddlemen san diego customs sissy bar back rest so the pattern on the seat matches the backrest
Good to have you back Danny!!
The Geelong episode are pure gold. A long European tour now Danny
Colin is a legend, always love seeing him when I'm in at Geelong for my service or shopping for new parts and merch 😅
Love the deep discussions of the handlebars 😅, great vid Danny 👍
Hey Dan, 4 years ago today you left Geelong for Perth on the Monkey Glide. So glad to have been there at the start. Good on ya mate.
So glad you’re back mate.
Like someone else mentioned you need a pull back plate. It makes a huge difference I got one on my low rider st I'm about 5'6 and it works for me
I have the San Diego custom Saddleman seat on my low rider ST I love how it looks and feels pretty nice so far !
We couldn't agree more. @bikelife7427
a good surprise to see MDB when I checked yt this morning
This was so much fun. So glad you are back
I am the same height so this was cool to see. Thanks for sharing. Bike looks good. 👍🏾
Can't wait for your next Adventure dude!! 👊
Colin is epic as always!
DANNY, Good seeing you my friend and, happy to see your doing well Brother” Ride Safe buddy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Danny - Just a small thing but you missed putting Col's joke in. That's usually my favorite bit
Thrashin Supply bars with risers would look amazing and feel great.
Don't forget the windscreen and wiper blades , just kidding mate , its definitely about comfort, You're a champion mate .😊
"I've got another pair like this at home." I wish my humour was that sharp, brilliant.
Col and the crew are legends !!!!
I wish Colin would move his HD shop to Dallas Texas...
Thankyou Danny bike looking sweet 😎😎
To me it's your bike in the end and you have to make your bike custom for you for your best handling and these handlebars are perfect for you for the long hall, I have the same type on my bike and found them the best for distance riding Danny, CHEERS Brother!!!
Sheilas are gonna love that little backrest! 😂
Contradictory humor. All in good spirit. You'll like the feel of this ride now. I just know it. I'm telling you so you don't have to wonder.
If you asked me, i would take normal height risers with a higher handlebar. And choose a 1,25” thick😊. I have the Saddlemen SDC Pro (the non knot) on my RKS and this seat is fabulous! No asspain at all! Even i did the handlebar job myself and put a 14” gangsterape on it, and a new clutchcable in one piece (then you gig rid of the yellow piece).

Just love the mechanic 😂
Nice work, Danny. You'll be amazed how much more comfortable the handlebars are now. They are the equivalent to 16" bars on an old bike. You will have more control over your steering now, and it's like having power steering through leverage.
Stay upright, mate.
Live to Ride. 👍
Now it's a Rolls Royce reclining lounge chair on wheels by HD...
Great episode, love the humor in the shop :D
you and colin together are hilarious!
bars do look good . screw the haters .
I always enjoy a trip to Geelong Harley.
Cole: “The biggest pain…is you” 🤣🤣
Always good videos. Keep up the hard work. Don’t worry about what negative people say. They are a small percentage of your viewers. We are from two different worlds but both like motorcycles and I enjoy watching!!
Glad your back to what you do best 👌
That was 100 percent GOLD loved it
This garage shows are so good and wholesome haha keep it real lads!
Hi Danny. It was good to see you back at GHD. Your visits at Harley are very entertaining especially when the two engineers start working on the bike😂
I got the same seat when I brought my lowrider st from Geelong HD but I got the lumber support as an extra love it
The Saddlemen SDC Pro Series is a game-changer. @jackchristodoulou197
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
The rest of us engineers watching think your doing a great job Danny
Hey Danny, love those Veronica inspired shoes.
It’s good to see you and Colin back having the crack 👍
Colin is a true hero
The bars look great. I’m a fan of mini apes for comfort on my old back.
I'm 5'9 and im with you, the bars need to come back and up. Just about where you have yours would be just about right for me as well. I think more people would really like the bike if harley set it up more you have it, as a light sport touring bike. Better seat, forward controls and bringing the handlebars up and back a good bit.
Always a joy to watch engineers wrenching
Can't wait to hear how you like the new set up!
14 inch bars with 2 inch raisers are the best
Hi brother been watching 4 years love the vids keep it up / love when U give it too cole
it is fun to see you all together, they made fun of you and you try to make them work making your bike better.
Colin is the absolute best he brings so much to these vlogs I honestly wouldn't enjoy watching ad much if Colin wasn't envolved.
Love it Danny, cheers!
Look into pull back plates it brings the riser back 2 inch so u dont have run those mini apes. Then get a high bend bar from thrashin and that should be enough
I so think that is what I need for my fxlrs 2020 ridding with straight arms starts to hurt after an hour makes it no fun
I agree in 100%.
Yea im 5’7 and im running thrashin rg pullback plate it (works for softail) adds 2in 3/8 height and puts bars back towards u 1in 5/8, thrashin 1in extension, thrashin 6 1/2 pull back risers, 3.5 in bars so total height is 13 3/8 in and i have a nice bend to my arms super comfortable.
That is amazing… I did not know that Gucci made motorcycle riding shoes… that is so cool. LOL
Geelong episodes are the best 🤣👊🏻👍
‘I told ya a hundred fuckin’ times’. LOL
I'm 5'7 and run the kraus 10 inch pullback with trex plate and fly moto bars..on my lowrider st.. fits me perfectly.. much better and look good
I love those new bars they look pretty cool I think I’m a change mine
Hi Danny, love your clips i always look forward to seeing what your next adventure is, I have a Low Rider ST as well & I’m about to have 9 1/2 inch pull back risers put on mine, did you think about changing to maybe 8 1/2 or 9 1/2 pull back risers, one of the workers did say that to you, but you are happy with the bars you have chosen, I really look forward to seeing how the bike feels and looks.Ride safe brother 🤙🏽😎
Hey the new shop is looking good 👍
The resigned exasperation with which Colin tolerates Danny is gold.
I really love the grumpy guys from the dealership giving you a hard time.... Makes the video even more entertaining... And yeah, it still looks horrible... ;-)
Good morning here in Scotland
that bike sounds so good!
As long as your comfy Danny 👍
Bars look fine to me, Danny. But then, I ride a Victory so what would I know...😂😂 Looking forward to the upcoming adventure. Cheers mate! 👍👍🇦🇺

That handlebar setup reminds me of a trike i used to ride when i was 4. 😆
