Back in the beginning of the 20th century, (1900's) , zero did not exist!! 0 was called OUGHT. Steel wool was developed so long ago it was graded as OUGHT ( one 0) coursest, up to 4 ought (4, 0's) as the finest!! How's that for some useless learning for the day??
I had my battery die at Mount Rushmore while I was in Sturgis. Weird because I already made the loop, stopped at all the major stops to take pics and enjoy the scenery, and Mount Rushmore was the last stop. Had to pop the clutch and run to Rapid City to get another battery. It was a great day.
All and all the build is wicked. I agree the king pack is the most usable, and fits full face helmets, which chopped and razor not so much. But the chopped is still my fav as it gives looks and storage. Keep the videos rolling hommie.
You are so right. I put my Advanblack chopped tourpak together on the ground. Tried using a box to support it while I put the bolts in. That sucked!!! Plus my helper, 13 month old rescue dog, is a horrible assistant.
Hell yeah! If your going to have one, have a big one! Sometimes you just need the tip... of the space. But it's always nice to go deep. Talking about trunks.
ohhh Pro Monk, when you are ready to change the body of the CVO... I will travel to FL to buy that red inferno body, and I prefer the chopped pack. That's what I have on my RGS. I've been told by some "friends" the king pack will hold 2 cases of adult brew and a large pizza. You pegged it on the smaller packs, extra clothes and small cooler. I can fit my 1/2 helmet in the chopped but not the razor (hubby has razor). Keep up the good work, it is my comic relief from my otherwise hectic day. Ride safe
I bought a jump starter at Black Hills H.D. five years ago for $150. Its been the best money ive ever spent. Itis stong enough to start my Cummings Deilsel at -20 in Alaska. Its the size of a cell phone only twice as thick. It rides eith me always.
Both bikes look good. I haven’t heard good things about lithium batteries. My buddy is the GM at a dealer and said all they do is warranty them over and over. And the king is the way to go I’m still kicking myself for getting the chopped
I completely agree with your stance in Tourpacks. Coming from the clamshell bags that my FLSB had to now having hard bags on it, it might not be as big of a deal, but when traveling the ability to load more crap was a lifesaver. And I think it looks really good as what I’m calling a Sport Glide Ultra
I am in the middle of fixing up my late brother in laws bike for his son . It’s a 93 heritage nostalgia that has spent most of its life outside. After hearing you talk about the steel wool on chrome, I bought some and holy crap it works amazing . Thanks for that tip
I agree with you. The bikes look better without a Tour pack, so if you're going to put one on you might as well put one on big enough to put something in.👍
Just a thought.....What about a garage tidy/set up/reorganisation vid with shelving/work station/cupboards? Bet some of the suppliers would love to help! Just imagine what you will find squirrelled away in there over the last 20 years!
unless you're bringing home 1 medium pizza and nothing else...or you only "travel" from one end of the bike show to the other... King is the only tour pack size that makes sense.
Say keyfob 1 more time...... lol. Some days suck like that. Thank you for sharing. The struggles help others feel better more level.... or just me. Again, thank you.
Love your channel brother. You and your wife are great. I am NOT a Harley guy but one of my riding buddies is offering me a great deal on his 2022 Road Glide Special and I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it. Gorgeous bike. Thanks for the entertainment and knowledge. You have taught me a lot.
I can NOT understand, with your luck, WHY you haven't hit the lottery several times! The switch of the tips, the mixing of the chrome and the black looks great. I did the same on my bike, mostly chrome, but with some black parts mixed in, two tone red like the new bike
I didn’t expect anything less Harley has been making a beer budget motorcycle and has been charging champagne taste prices for years they know that men love shiny new things.
I noticed that you have a seat that is narrow in front and have the tank shell. When I had a Saddlemen road sofa with the narrow front, the tips of the tank shell was poking my inner thighs. So I put a stock seat back on and it is much better. Maybe you could let them know at Advanblack that that shell would be much better if the tail of it was 1" narrower on each side. It would still look great and be suitable for a wider range of seats. Just saying.
Too funny, my battery died on me this weekend too at a 7-11! Was riding home to Tampa from SoFL and after stopping for gas in Punta Gorda the bike refused to start or jump start. Was lucky enough that Bert's Black Widow HD was open and they brought me a battery.
The King pak IS the best size if you want somewhere to put the helmet, jacket, etc... at least for me. I don't have speaker pods so I mounted a chopped pad on mine. Since my SO doesn't ride on the Street Glide I didn't need to put the King backrest on it and I agree that the King pak without speaker pods but with the King backrest looks terrible. I usually leave the Low Profile Solo on mine even if I have the tour pak on it.
Steel wool does work great for the rust and pitting but itll work alot better if you use a dab of WD-40 or PB Blaster. Thats what we used in the Army to polish the plumbing in the Latrines in Basic.
@@Mrsmonkey5151 absolutely! And I’m a huge Cincinnati Bengals fan so this body kit is right up my alley. Would never be able to afford it just straight out. Keep me in mind please!
The old man had me doing his chrome spoke wheels with the Bulldog Brand fine steel wool when I was 10 to earn $$ for a bicycle, steel wool is awesome stuff, been in my tool chest for decades.
When I put a tour pack on mine, I decided if I was messing with the lines I would put a king on. Just make it look a dorky as possible. But I could haul shit.
I like the comments that said to add some wax or polish. I wouldn't want to spread around the contaminants. WD-40 and 0000 the cheapest aluminum foil you can find. Brake clean then wax.
I had to take my road glide limited in for tires the other day. Wouldn't start. Replaced the battery it did start up. Couple of days later, same thing. Turns out i needed a new starter.
KeyFob story.. came up upon a group of Harley riders at a gas station and one of their buddies bike wouldn't start because his fob battery died and he didn't know his pin to over ride security. The gas station didn't have any 2032 batteries. These were seasoned riders and I blew their minds when I told them to start one of their bikes then pull out the fob battery and hand it to their buddy to start his bike. They topped off my tank.
Good idea. I thought you were going to say that your fob started his bike. I once had a situation where a buddy of mine’s bikes fob would cancel mine out and neither of our bikes would start if they were near each other. We both were BACA patches and had to keep our bikes far apart.
Have you talked about those Ray Bans yet? I have been looking at getting a pair. Inquiring minds would like your thoughts, impressions, possible review from using while riding.....
@@ProfessionalMonkey cool thanks. Just don't tell the wife. Since I have been watching you, and some others, I have gone from 1 bike to 3.5 bikes🤷🏼♂️. You're just a bad influence on my wallet. 👊🏻
With steel wool sometimes being stored in a junk drawer? Make sure to never throw your 9v batteries in the same drawer! Sooner or later that 9 volt will find its way to the steel wool and Bam! You got yourself a nice fire! Just saying
I have used the 0000 steel wool on chrome too which works good, I have also had really good luck with the blue magic polishing cream. I have the chopped tour pack. I would like to put a back rest on it like you have on your king. Do you know, will that fit on the chopped pack?
It really depends on your preference. Some shorty hard bags would look nice. And they’re more practical. I have hard bags on my heritage if it tells you anything.
Ok loved your video but off comment my wife mentioned you struggle with your script glasses like I do, adjusting every min!! Why don’t he bend his stems? Don’t start dear, it’s a struggle for us men!!
Chopped does look better but yes king is the way to go.
When I use the 4 ott steelwool... I put a little metal polish on it so... CLEAN AND POLISHED IN 1 STEP
JUST THE TIP 😊
Flitz or semi chrome
@@roncronenwett6545
BLUE MAGIC METAL POLISH CREAM... AWESOME STUFF Especially in Florida with all the salt air
Thanks for the info

Keep the videos rolling hommie.
I think the touch of chrome on the exhaust and the docking station sets of the rear end of that thing.
I like to use never dull also to clean up chrome finishes also
You are so right. I put my Advanblack chopped tourpak together on the ground. Tried using a box to support it while I put the bolts in. That sucked!!!
Plus my helper, 13 month old rescue dog, is a horrible assistant.
I use aluminium kitchen foil and water to remove rust from chrome too. Works a treat. 👍
We use Never Dull ...cleans it beautifully
I must say, they both look great!
King pack is great, being able to fit 2 full face helmets or a full face and other things
Hell yeah! If your going to have one, have a big one! Sometimes you just need the tip... of the space. But it's always nice to go deep. Talking about trunks.
TJ, If the battery tests fine... MIGGT Be same issue I had... "BCM" Body Control Module.
But it sounds like NOT the BCM on the restart
I use the steel on my forks, use it on the car to clean the windshield mirrors etc no scratching. Certainly makes cleaning the chrome much easier
I agree on the tips and the King pack and the red and black flame's is also my favorite 😎🤟
lol it most definitely will scratch the forks....had a buddy do that, not me o hell no...I got friends too you know.....

Thx for the 0000 steel wool tip. My FLHTP has a couple of spots I need to use it 👍👍👍
No problem 👍
Nice tips thanks! The bike looks great.
I'm just scared of lithium batteries. I live in Kansas and the cold usually takes one drill battery a year.
I get it. It never gets cold here so not really a thing, ya know?
I've had my lithium in my bike for a few years in Colorado and charged it once in a blue moon. Still works like a charm
3m makes a great spray clear coat...One and done..
Both bikes look good. I haven’t heard good things about lithium batteries. My buddy is the GM at a dealer and said all they do is warranty them over and over. And the king is the way to go I’m still kicking myself for getting the chopped
Life is what life does. Love the content, cause it's real.
0000 steel wool and mothers polish is my go to on chrome parts. Saves a ton of money on bikes I'm flipping!
Great video and Mrs. Monkey is beautiful even out of focus..lol. Thanks for the video and the info.

Bike looks awesome and chrome black mix is just taking it to higher level of awesome. Anything smaller thing a king tour pack is just a lunch box lol
I agree with you.
The bikes look better without a Tour pack, so if you're going to put one on you might as well put one on big enough to put something in.👍
NOW you have to go with the chrome plate frame...(-:
Just a thought.....What about a garage tidy/set up/reorganisation vid with shelving/work station/cupboards? Bet some of the suppliers would love to help! Just imagine what you will find squirrelled away in there over the last 20 years!
Use 4x with chrome polish makes chrome look new
ad a little Naval jelly to your 0000 steel wool ........shine up NICE
I agree with the chop tour pack. Totally pointless. I want my tour pack to actually hold stuff.
unless you're bringing home 1 medium pizza and nothing else...or you only "travel" from one end of the bike show to the other... King is the only tour pack size that makes sense.
The wrap pad does fit on a chopped I did it to mine.
Awesome paint on that CVO
Thanks 👍

Yep, about the way it goes. Just when you think you are good and don't need something 24 hrs later you need it!!!

Woody is awesome. Wish I lived in Florida so I could go to the B Collin Strong ride. We ride to Sturgis every year he gets to.
Tour pack needs to be at least big enough to put two full face helmets in.
Mrs bike looks awesome !! Great Choice
Thanks! 😊
Nice Seat .
I will DEFINITELY purchase the orange body when the time comes!!! I told my wife I need this body kit the first time I seen it! Jusssssss Sayinnnn!

Nice tips I love how it looks
Thank you! 😊
4 years on a battery is doing good.
These days it is. Remember when they used to last!?
Use a wood dowel of the proper size works much better than a screwdriver
Just an idea
I like the comments that said to add some wax or polish.
I wouldn't want to spread around the contaminants.
WD-40 and 0000 the cheapest aluminum foil you can find. Brake clean then wax.
Just the tips? 😂😂😂
Hi from Muskoka Ontario Canada. Love your vids ! Really fun and informative. Great stuff!
Kinda wanting to try one of the professional monkey seats on my new 22 ST road glide 🤔. Will have to check price site and see if they are out yet.
They're coming. The price is going to be lower than most.
I think we need a camera stand. We need install steps and some repairs.. Cool videos tho...
Looking good 👍
You seem to get stranded like if you owned Triumphs 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Damn that looks like my old neighborhood in Florida that I left behind 16 years ago
I had to take my road glide limited in for tires the other day. Wouldn't start. Replaced the battery it did start up. Couple of days later, same thing. Turns out i needed a new starter.
Coke and tin foil works amazingly on chrome
I’ve heard that!
That’s why you should of stayed with the shovelhead. I get it though, not too many slow lane riders left.
The red one has kind of a Darth Maul vibe to it.
I don't trust Li batteries. Too many fires. I like the old standard.
dumb question ? how do you like the screw on saddlebag mounts, been looking at those to replace the stock pins on my bags ?
Huge upgrade. Rickracks version is good also.

Run a different bag lid with a bra/cover over them. You at least won’t look like you’re begging for change that way. lol. Looking good btw.
That’s what I said. I think he’s hoping they’ll toss some twenty’s in 😂
That's a good idea! I could put the ones off the ST on it for now...
You didn't show the back of brackets where the rust was 🤔🤭
It was on both sides.
Dosen't have enough starting amps. It will test good but it's not
Looks really nice …. I have an 11 heritage do you think I should leave the stud bags on or get some hard bags?
It really depends on your preference. Some shorty hard bags would look nice. And they’re more practical. I have hard bags on my heritage if it tells you anything.
@@ProfessionalMonkey thanks …is there a set your recommend?
Regular saddlebag tops wont fit temporarily?
Is Advanblack coming out with anything for sportster or soft tail standards and if so what years.
I don't know to be honest. The softail standard you can put their ST fairing on I know that.
What happened to the old school road glide?
She’s in the Rv temporarily 😊while we work on the chopper. Need the space.
Aluminum foil and water works better
Whede are you geting your lithium batteries from
Advanblack is on the way...
What is your next bike you want to get?
Probably nothing for a while. New I like the orange CVO Street Glide, used I’d like an EVO Springer Softail. I’d also like a road king.
