Great video ... I wasn't sure whether to get standard bags for my 2010 softail or 5" extended saddle bags and you've convinced me 5" is the way to go! Mine are coming to the UK from a US eBay seller, not Amazon like yours, but the seller has 99.5% positive from almost 100,000 sales so I feel pretty confident they'll be the same quality as yours 😎😎
I got a tour pack in matte black Off eBay. It was called Colton customs. Not sure if they still have them but not bad at all. Try Amazon on that as well.
Nice video my friend. Thanks for taking the time to show us this upgrade. As far as all the snobs on here talking that $hit about Amazon brand accessories, they probably sit in the corner and crank their 🌽 while the neighbor plows their wife.
Those bags look nice but here's the thing.....you can't lean like you can with stock bags. Which takes alot of fun out the ride. At least for me. I'm about functionality more than looks. But hey....to each there own.
I still haven't bought one. I typically put my son's helmet on the backrest and leave it there in case I pick him up unexpectedly, if I put on a tour pack I'll lose that ability (without getting a king tour pack)
question: got a street glide with a 21" front wheel and extended bags too, was considering air ride because im a little short also, do you have any scraping issues with your bags? have you lowered your forks?
Have not lowered the forks, only scrapped my bags when I took off from a parking spot and forgot to air it up. I don't consider myself a super aggressive rider though. Your mileage may vary.
Don't know how to attach an picture but the bottom of the bag is about an inch and a half with it aired down and on the kickstand. Be warned to not turn the handle bars all the way to the right with this setup. I did it to bleed and refill the clutch fluid and the bike started falling over. Thankfully I saw it and caught it. Center stand is the way to go! I haven't done it yet
Id never load my bike up with 3rd rate Chinese Amazon crap, for a few $$ more you could have got Advanblack or went with actual Harley OEM. I will not cheapen the look of my 2021 Street Glide by loading it with crap
I understand,but Harley has a great relationship with China and the Chinese.So while you calling people out on TH-cam.Harley signing another sweat shop agreement to pay less and maximum profit.Owner of 2021 Road Glide Special responding.Brand new bags lids and latch and hardware color matched all hardware.We're talking almost $2000.00.I'm about to try me some China.Ha ha!!!🤣
Please don't misunderstand me.Harley Quality control is unbelievable.I have bought OEM replacement parts for my 2018 Road King Special.Simply amazing quality and fitment.

Awesome, hope they work great for you!
When you was filming and you said,yeah,I like it.I then said.Yeah,It does look good.Nice!
Thanks!
Top shelf,,,all the way!
I would seriously consider putting a matching rear tire
on that Battle Horse! Beauty man!👍😎👍
I've thought about it, don't know the brand, the front wheel was purchased two owners ago. I can get ahold of him still though to ask!
Very nice bike and the upgrades sound interesting.. No need to worry about the little scratches on your bags.. no one will see them at 75 mph..
thanks!
Nice bike! You gave me a few ideas...thx👍🏾
Happy to help!

I'll look into it, thanks! Most likely closer to next riding season

Thanks! 🤣
looks much better
thanks!
Looks Great!
Your front rim looks very nice, Is your front tire and rim the OEM standard size? I like the original size I just want a better looking rim like yours

When the bike is aired up there's plenty of room. If I drag them, they're just cheap bags anyway : )
all that money on extended bags and rockin a stock back wheel. :)
If you can’t see the back wheel with ext bags what’s your point
All that money? They are Amazon bags.
Tkhs For sharing can you tell me What size is the FRONT Well? Tkhs
21"
Looks good. Whatever happened to the tour pack?
I still haven't bought one. I typically put my son's helmet on the backrest and leave it there in case I pick him up unexpectedly, if I put on a tour pack I'll lose that ability (without getting a king tour pack)
stripe the tank n new bags. Looks a little okee otherwise. Rad bike tho. Way meaner lookin with the stretched bags.
Either stripe the bags or add the extended side covers without stripes. I've considered both, thanks!
question: got a street glide with a 21" front wheel and extended bags too, was considering air ride because im a little short also, do you have any scraping issues with your bags? have you lowered your forks?

Looks Great! Does it still have the 1" lowering block ? I'd like to see it leaning on kickstand with the new bags.
Yes, still running the lowering kit and it's working as expected!

What size front wheel and tire?
I'd have to look at the tire, wheel is 21"
What size is your front tire and wheels man I like it
Thanks! Front is 21, rear is stock
How much was your Matt black paint job roughly?
@@jdawg6439 I didn't paint them, just ordered the ones that were matte black
How many spokes are in your wheels?
I don't have a clue, sorry.
What air ride u have?
@dredabarber I'm not sure what kit it is off hand. It was installed on the bike a couple of years before I bought it.
What’s the name of the wheel chock?
I bought it from harbor freight, it's the only model they have like this. It's the second one I've owned and they've both worked flawlessly.
@@getafterit8967 thank you
Why is that bike on a trailer? Put that thing on the pavement and ride it
Was dragging it along on a family trip

@@levievans9311 use and abuse china, who cares, but i wont put that shit on any of my 3 Harley's
Gave you a thumbs up.
This is far from a new bike and certainly not showroom quality, just something I enjoy scooting around on. I don't see the need to spend extra $$
