    🛑🛑 Bob…I know your waiting for the Harley Warranty to Expire on your bike (and Harley just got slapped for their Warranty Practices) however removing the Factory Headpipe goes a long way to removing the Heat Underneath my Wife’s Right Foot. Getting rid of “the Cat” allows the bike to breath, and my wife isn’t complaining about the Heat all day long. 🔥😀👍

    Hello 👋. New to the channel. I heard you talk about your Mustang seat in another video. I'm 6'3 and my 2014 ultra limited feels a little cramped also. It came with the baby appes that I really enjoy but the seat is my next move. I really enjoy the padding on the stock seat. Does the mustang have some kinda cush/padding?

    • @tjtuck4520
      @tjtuck4520 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also on your old video with your SG you put a picture in the corner of the seat and it was just over $600, now the link in this video says it's almost $1000. Is this correct?

    • @BoDean52
      @BoDean52  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not a huge difference from that perspective but it pushes you back two inches. It was like a new bike when I had it on my Ultra. I put it on immediately when I bought the Road Glide

      @@BoDean52 I have only done a handlebar adjustment, and controls adjustment, and it improved the comfort of the ride just enough that I can ride longer. I am sure a new seat would be a great improvement. Just the thought of purchasing a seat though... and hoping it improves the ride at three to six hundred dollars is a big investment.

    So you changed the factory rear shocks on your 21 Limited? I found them to an outstanding ride but if you changed yours out then the ride now must be even better. I've had 2 RGS and now the 21 Limited and couldn't even imagine going back to the Special ride wise anyways. Great videos thank you.

    I just bought the Saddleman Road sofa with rider back rest for my TriGlide Ultra, and it is awesome. I bought the 10” factory bars, but wish I had gone to the 12” bars (which I may change, but don’t tell my wife!). Are we ever really done changing things?

  • @PMCraig
    @PMCraig 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My ‘07 RK still has the stock seat and at 6’3” and a 36” inseam I sit fairly far back from the tank. However, you’re absolutely correct, every newer Harley touring bike I’ve tried has me feeling like I’m riding on the tank. What’s with that?! So I guess if I ever get a new bike I’m gonna have to plan on getting a seat that sits me back further. I also tried a Tallboy when I had my ‘09 Road Glide and like you I was not a fan. It set me back further from the tank but I also felt like I was sitting lower which I did not like.

    Another great and informative video. I’ve done two of the three recommendations. I switched to 10” mini ape bars and the Legend Revo shocks. I currently have the HD heated seat which I would replace but I’d never hear the end of it from my wife. 😂🤬. I’d love to get the split mirrors like you have but they only come in chrome and my Ultra is the blacked out model. I haven’t been able to find any black split mirrors from any suppliers. If anyone knows of a place selling them in black I’d appreciate a heads up.

    • @BoDean52
      @BoDean52  2 ปีที่แล้ว
