That scratch on the engine guard escalated quckly!
Don’t scratch your engine guard
LOVE the marriage scenario John! Lol, you nailed that perfectly!
OMG ! You had me crying on the whole van down by the river and your engine guard won't fit the van ! Lol keep up the good work
"In a van down by the river" classic 🤣🤣🤣
Great idea on the footpeg mount positioning, getting the 3 positions out of it!! I will use that for sure. Thanks for sharing, and love your page man, keep em coming!!
That tangent was brilliant!!!
I love the fact that you're humble enough to show that even professionals have the d'uh moments like overtightening stuff.
"AND I LIVE IN A VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!" - Chris Farley
Love the reference John!
You're way ahead of us Matthew. That's my Advice too ,get a Van first...you can always get another girl with a Harley but just in case she's a sport bike type I got both...lol
@@paulhorvath9784 😂👍😎
That’s rant about the van was gold! Keep that up
Another great video john, keep it up your a big inspiration in my life with what you do, i see you got alot on your mind as i have also broken many plastic mounts over tightening, have fun in texas in the parade
Was stoked to see the Torque vest! Got mine during the Labor Day sale and I love that thing.
Solid logic on why to start with the right side.
What an awesome idea and set up with the pegs.
Pretty soon you're living in a VAN down by the RIVER! :)
I appreciate the flow and candor you have while on camera. Good stuff, dude!
Taco Bell certainly has the best fast food breakfast! I've had the regular C3D cup holder on my Ultra Limited for 2 years, and it holds my 30oz YETI just fine, but, back in April I bought the Big-Ass for the passenger, and the wife loves it!
Great van rant lol!
I make that van down by the river reference from time to time and got tired of the blank stares from my kids, so I just sat them down last night to watch the SNL bit so that they would at least know what I am talking about for a change. Loved the video and the speech. I am planning to add some pegs to my bike and you gave me some things to think about regarding placement that I hadn't thought about. Also loved that you left the mistake in, shows that anyone can over tighten and warns others to be careful on that part.
Enjoy the trip John!! Safe travels Dude!
One of your best vids!!! Loved the humor...
Very laid back, real world. Good job.
OMG that escalated quickly! From some comfy pegs to living in van down by the river! Set it and forget it! Love it!
👍Thanks, John. Excellent tips! ✨
the videos and the humor and content just gets better and better and better.
Your only human did a nice job love your channel I fixed my heated hand gripes with your tip so thank you be safe on the road
Fun to watch and helpful tips
I'm not a Harley guy, but I appreciate this guy's approach and style of humor. Plus some of this may carry over to the metrics that I do ride.
You totally should have released this video last week. I scratched the hell out of my new engine guard re adjusting the right side highway peg Monday night. That’s one of those things only experience teaches you. Lol
Have a great ride brother!!!!
Good to meet you today, have a great weekend!
OMG, the rant about black engine guards 😂😂😂 my wife found that hilarious! Good thing she rides as well!
when you mount the foot pegs you can also wrap black electrical tape around your engine guard to protect your paint
I did this when installing my helmet lock. The HD lock doesn't fit the bars right and was slipping. A little electrical tape around the bars gave it something to grip, and I trimmed the excess when done.
glad to hear you aint in a van, I was worried for a minute.
I think your bike sounds awesome!
Glad to see you with one of my Efriends, Shawn Smoaks. Another mechanic god, like yourself.
The scratched up engine guard went down a rabbit hole. Wow. Subscribing because of that
Another great video John...you stay safe on your trip, see ya in Paris ✌🇺🇸🤙🇺🇸😎
You are too daggone funny!!! Love the videos......keep em' coming. Thanks
Another Great tip John 👍 ! 😎
I love the Chris Farley reference and the way you put it in.
Great stuff! Thank you.
Hilariously scary analogy, JM! Y'all crack me up (open?)! Have a great time going to Paris Texas 😎.
Stay cool 😎, be safe and have fun. Giddy up...
hi john!~ always appreciate!!👍👍
😂 livin in a Van down by the river. Love it nice touch John lol.
"Tighten it 'till it snaps then back it off a half turn!" - Torque Specs for Dummies
Can I please use this saying? 🤣🤣🤣
@@SkidPig seriously a friend of mine told me that almost 40 years ago when we were working on his truck. At the time he worked for Western Electric and he had a lot of funny sayings like that.
Definitely. In the same boat as you with the baby bagger build. In my case, it’s a 18 FLSB.
I'm building a bike but I've decided I really want a new street glide. I live 45 min from u. Hopefully in the next couple months I'll get my bike. Itd be cool if I could ride with ya some day. Love all ur videos man. Wish I were in paris with y'all.
One of your best yet John! Stay away from the van next to the river.....
I'm new to HD. But not YT. I appreciate the whole Van hypothetical. Lol. Well done sir.
Ciro makes great stuff!
Wish I could bring my 2019 RK Special to you. Not getting anywhere with my local dealer. You seem to be a honest person. My RKS first has a wobble at 40 mph. After playing with the steering head bearing adjustments it still wobbles.Now at 4k miles it's blowing oil smoke on start up. Seems there is a lack of trying to fix this bike. I have a 2015 Twin Cam Road King with 25k miles and it runs like a top. Not happy with this new bike. Can't believe this is not the only one out there with problems.
Great interlude story 🤘
Oh man, I’ve had a few “heavy handed” incidents myself. Thanks for leaving that in there. Had to wait till the next morning to pick up bolts at my local HD shop. Those long waited hours were no fun. I’ll never reuse those black inner rocker cover flange bolts again
I just ordered the Ciro pegs and clamps. There is a difference from the time of this video. The clamps do not come with the peg attachment; you need to order the peg with "with mounts" to attach the peg to the mount. Thanks for the video John, I am getting the same guards and pegs for my Heritage.
dude I watch as many of your video as I can . I got my sportster 03 in great condition and I fit and test everything to work as well as it can ..I have been riding for 45 years and just got this bike last June and put 9,000= miles on it in 5 months ,my old lady tells me why don't I just wire past the key . I never shut it off anyway ...lol , well when I got this bike ,I got it from a guy that lost his leg a jet sky accident, and he had the bike with some mods .. one short brake linkage and shifting linkages the other was removed the engine guard and put a straight road high way bar on . this dose just what you were talking about and lets me rest my toes on the highway pegs and my heel on the foot pegs best set up I have ever seen on any bike ...and the last thing I can add is one time I was resting at a rest stop and a guy pulled up with his bike and ask if I needed help and we talk for a few . he took 6 of those cup holders and put them above the head light like a 6 pack holder .. I still think about that and lol ....stay safe stay free
I love the Chris Farley reference. Classic!!
Love your videos
That's some wisdom right there!
Love the van story.🤘🏻
Im digging the flipped mirrors
Great Video and always informative tips and suggestions with parts and repairs. I turned 50 and decided to buy a Harley, WTH... right? Love my bike, its been 2 months with ZERO regrets! Hey, can you explain a little about your mounts and choice for your blue tooth sound bar on the handlebars? I have stock handle bars, any suggestions for me. Also, my foot from time to time scrapes the bags in the back and leaves a smear / scrap. Any ideas for the scrap marks I leave... lol, but seriously, how do I unmark the scratches.
Thanks and keep up the great work and videos!
2k miles, 2 months, LOVE the bike so far.
Great job bro
I use a tank bag with 2L CamelBak bladder and associated tube/straw for water. Simple, functional and doesn’t make my bike look like a lounge chair...plus I ride Full face only. For coffee, I dedicated another 1L CamelBak bladder and put it in a small insulated lunch bag (find on Amazon). I only fill it with about 20oz of coffee to allow for expansion, and it’s plenty to drink before getting to work for a top off. The bladders don’t like super hot temperatures...200F or more, but hot coffee hit with some half and half seems to work just fine. The insulated pouch I use is small and doesn’t add much more in taking up space. A quick rinse wince to work and a wash once home, All worth while effort on cold morning commutes (40 miles @ 70mph one way, as low as mid 20F-40F in the winter). Ride on!
Johnny boy, I laughed my ass off listening to that story. It was priceless! Thank you brother.
Had a great laugh with the van down by the river 😅😅😅😅
She leaves then she gets the house, so she doesn’t leave ... The blooper at the end was great need to do more of these ... great info for the pegs would love 3 different positions thank you
Hey, at least you had a van on the river instead of just having to live, and sleep, on your bike. Been there, done that, but was when I was kicked out of my parents when I turned 18 and all I had was the bike.
Oh man. I got kicked out at 18 too. I feel your pain. 18, homeless, and broke. However, I think it's what made me successful today. Ride Safe!
I got a pic of a van!
Another great video brother, yeah you don't want to end up in a Van LoL, see you and TJ THE ORNERY ONE, Friday in Texarkana, ride safe live long Brother ✌️ N❤️💯
Hope to see you bro on Saturday! Hopefully not in the van, however vans are cool! Especially the 70s van with wizards painted on the side ! Lol 😂
The rant about the engine guard got me rolling 😂
SHOUT OUT FROM SE NEW MEXICO, great videos I was needing some advice, any chance you can do a review on seats for a 2018 Road King Special..... keep up the vids great info and this one was on point....
Upside down pegs are useful extra protection when practicing low speed maneuvers.
What a darn funny video. I did learn a lot from ya on the one time placement for 3 positions.
Hip and lower back gets me since I have forward controls with foot pegs.

Glad I’m not the only one that mounts them so you can put your heal on the boards and toe on the pegs.
Hey John, that whole wife saying too much bike stuff and livin by the river in a van with a spare black engine bar was hilarious, made me laugh out loud!
FYI: Law Biding Biker (.com) sells a METAL bar clamp that is compatible with all Ciro ball accessories. Not taking away anything from Ciro, just read a ton of reviews about the clamp breaking on tightening or busting while riding from bumps and vibration. And if you dont have an issue with tossing an L.E.M.C. a few bucks.
A truly brilliant explanation of why it is important to install the right side highway peg first. No one wants to have to figure how to install a powder coated engine guard on a van...
"Baby Bagger Build" Hahahahaha. I like it !! Also … there is a Down By The River - Van Village down the mountain from me. None of them own motorcycles. I'm willing to guess they all own brand new, unused engine guards. Very sad, they should have followed your advice.
Just got my bike in July. Great channel bro, only one I’m subbed to for Harley’s 👍 lots of great info. Are you hitting Galveston for Lonestar?
Lol, you kill me man, rethinking getting engine guards and pegs, dont wanna end up in as van next to the river.......
John, I noticed you mentioned you would like to attend Bike Blues and BBQ. I assume you are referencing the MC rally in NW Arkansas. I attend this rally each year when not traveling. I hope you make it some time and maybe I will see you there. Enjoy all your videos, keep them coming.
Loved it! In a Van...down by the RIVER!
i do the same thing with a straight edge and tape measure. the other step i do is, i put a wrap of masking tape at the location that would be the bottom of the mount. sharpie marks are sometimes hard to see on black.
That was was some funny sh@t when you veered off down into that "van down by the river" rabbit hole....sounds like some of the kind of conversations I've had with myself
Hilarious John. I haven’t heard a head game in decades.
Love my big ass cup holder, but I added the floorboard relocation brackets and an extended brake pedal and with my pegs it really eases pressure on my hips....
Excellent video! I am trying to figure out if mounts are available for the stock engine guard for 21 RG Special. Did not expect this to be a big deal. Seems to be an issue because there is not enough of a straight section on the pipe. Any ideas on this would be appreciated.
I put one foot or two feet on top of my engine guards on my Street Glide. It blocks the wind from coming up from underneath the faring.
I do the same thing and addded grip tape so my boots don't slide.
Im gucci! I got the motorcycle along w the van to store my motorcycle and engine guard installed today!
John don't be bummed about breaking it.., you say you are "Unprofessional" at your intro🤔 hehe
Great video man keep them coming 👍
While I love the placement for the cup holder, I'd worry about heat from the engine heating up my cold drink or melting the cup or cup holder for that matter. :/ Great Video as usual John. Chuckling over the whole van down by the river speech btw. :)
Paragon Lost won't melt the cup holder but melts your ice real quick Yeti or not!!!
Awesome video bro. Just subscribed.
I bought a Road King about a week ago and looking for pegs.
What Cell Phone mount do you use? Having a hard time finding one for a large phone with reviews not saying the vibrations didn't mess up their camera.
Thanks!
How about finding a set of forward controls for the
2019 Heritage Classic 114
Started watching some of your videos, very cool and helpful! Question - around 11:15 when you start riding it looks like a speaker system mounted by your handlebars... what kind is that and is it compatible with various HDs? I have a 2017 Street Bob.
Noticed you said you didn't go to Bikes Blues and BBQ. It was a blast this year and the weather was perfect. Maybe next year?
Been debating between the bung king or an engine guard similar to yours. Can’t decide, don’t want too buy both. The wife already gives me the look when UPS pulls in the driveway.......again lol
Yep thank we all done it over tighten . So you riding to FLMM got my room
Always good tips from you! I’m also a long haired rider. How long does it take to get the tangles out after a ride?
They’re still there for the next ride...
Hahahaha the van rant was great
What is the country of origin for the Ciro3D gear? Do they outsource overseas? Another quality video, thank you John.
How are you going to drink out of that Yeti while driving down the road wearing that full face helmet with a camera on the chin?
