2022 Low Rider S Upgrades (WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE FIRST!)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2024
- I briefly explain the upstages I've added to my 2022 Low Rider S and why I've chosen these upgrades. I try to relate them to uses you'll actually get from these upgrades. First is stage 1 (Exhaust and a tune), next I would suggest bars, and finally a windscreen or fairing. As for other upgrades I've added to this bike- Flo Moto pegs (rider and passenger), Saddlemen step up seat, 1 Fngr levers, back rest, Santoro engine guards, Cruise control, and a lay down license plate bracket.

You seriously have one of the best looking Low Rider S I have seen. Well done, bud, well done!
The foot positioning got me. Subscribed.
My 2022 FXLRS top mods, Kuryakyn Halo diffuse signals front and rear and taillight. Looks amazing when all done. Saddlemen SDC Pro Seat. HD Sissy bar. Lucky Speed short levers. V&H slip ons. This bike is a beast. Love what you did with yours!
Awesome video.
Thanks for having a painted fairing. Looks nice.
Hi The, I like the bike and modes.. Maybe I'll buy a Low Rider S.
Also, like your sense of humour, you crack me up.. I'm subscribed of course. Cheers
Hi @TheHDguy , would you be able to make a video of what your handlebar setup is? I also got a 2022 fxlrs and I'm having trouble finding a good setup to relocate that gage like you have. What are you running? Thanks
Go with trashin supply and co
Nice looking bike! I also have a 2022 Lowrider. My first upgrade was cruise control. It takes some of the strain of your arms and wrist since you don't have to keep a constant grip on the throttle. I am getting new bars but with a very mild rise and pullback. I'm short (5'6") and the stock fairing does a good job of keeping wind of my chest even at 70-80 mph.
Nice bike and upgrades.
Dude your bike looks sick.
Thank you! It’s coming together.
That bike is fire my brother
Thank you sir!
Bike looks great!!
Thanks!
@@thehdguy378 👍
hahahaha. Love your smart-assery! The mini-floorboards, backward feet demo had me rollin'! What a sick looking bike, man. Absolutely love the orange (I'm biased with a Baja Orange) because it stands in such dynamic contrast with the black...really accentuates the entire look. Your fairing is incredibly well proportioned, too; the overall symmetry when factoring in the sissy bar is bang-on! Quick questions: what height is your windshield; what is the specific name of your orange, and what brand are your levers? Thanks, Chad....you DID do it right! ✌🤘
I’m all about orange. I had a 2016 that I painted lacuna orange.
Love that Orange too...I have a Dyna FatBob in HD racing Orange...
Nice bike! Love the paint, hey can you do a review on the 2022 Fatboy?
You got it! Thanks for watching.
Sick build dude! Question, is that the HD quarter fairing? Thinking about getting one for my street bob. You're right about the handlebars and being a sail.
OG Moto quarter fairing. I think it looks much better.
Looking good, man. Looking really good! Love that OG Moto fairing. How's that wind protection? does the anti-buffeting kit truly reduce buffeting or improve wind deflection? Hope you provide some more info in a future video as to how those mods work for you (bars, fairing, and else). Geez, sweet bike, Chad. really digging it! keep up the good work and enjoy that sexy machine!
It truly does help a ton. I rode the bike for about 2 weeks without the fairing or bars. I put 200 miles in and I hated it. I still get wind buffeting but it’s bearable. I just got back from a 2,600 mile trip and I have no complaints. Definitely some things I’m fine tuning before my next trip in October, but no serious complaints.
@@thehdguy378 cool! Thanks, Chad! I'm glad it's making a difference. Now the question for you is whether those mods make the low rider s as functional as the low rider st, or which one you think it' a better value, LRS or LRST. Maybe a specific video discussing pros and cons of each option? All the best! :)
What handlebars are you running? Just got the same bike picking it up sunday
Your Bike looks Great 👍 can’t wait to get mine Oh Yeah
Is that a saddlemen pad on the Hd sissy bar ?
Which pad was that ? Thanks !
Man, a minute half into this video I was "meh" till "not riding like a dipshit saves lives". Subscribed.
How’d you ever get one in that color?!? I only ever see them in black or gunship Grey
I just snagged a '22 low rider s myself. c=Curious what gauge mount you're running on the Kraus risers? Relocating the gauge seems to be the real headache on a bar and riser setup.
I’m gonna be honest I’m a complete idiot on parts and service. My parts guy tells me what to get and I have minimal feedback for him. I’ll ask what bracket it is though.
@@thehdguy378 Yes please more info on the gauge mount
All together, how much did these mods total?
Thank you for the dip shirt comment. They need to hear it.
"Not riding like a dip-shit will save your life." You are a very wise young man.
I can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not so I’ll take that as a compliment.
@@thehdguy378 No Sir, not facetious at all. I agree with you completely. My wife rides and thinks loud pipes save lives. I tell you no....its staying out of blind spots, giving others room, and watching for the next moron.
So Loud Pipes DO NOT HAVE ANY VALUE OR LIFE SAVING MEASURES?
What type of tune did you put on it?
What about suspension?
No mention of the paint job? This was gunship gray a month ago no? haha. Slick lookin scoot.
That’s a pretty basic upgrade
What risers did you go with? Having trouble moving my gauge as well.
Krause 8” riders with pull back.
whered u get ur fairing
What faring is that?
What fairing is that
OG Moto Customs
👍👍👍
🤙
TheHDguy what up bro I'm the same height as you what height are those bars and risers?
8” Kraus risers with pull back. 4” Thrashin bars.
Hi Dufy, what’s ur height & what r ur bars total height 8”? & what’s ur windshield height, I’m 5.11” & as soon as I can get my hands on one of the 2022 Low Rider S, I’ll copy all of ur upgrades to mine….
I apologize I meant to write “The HDguy” by the way did u use the stock cables on ur new risers & handlebar or u had to get extensions & what’s the name of ur foot pegs
I pretty much disagree with most of these upgrades except the Pipe and the tune. Mind you I don't own a 2022 Lowrider which are basically marketed towards a touring rider. Thats the great thing about owning Harleys though. You make em your own, In saying that your bike looks mint.
I appreciate the feedback and kind words!
Also, what upgrades would you have added? That’s partly why I did this video. I’d like to see where people stand on importance of order with upgrades.
@@thehdguy378 Well to be honest I'm not really into touring bikes. I have Two Softails and I've recently done a video on the stuff that I wouldn't put on them. For me though if I was going to be doing longer road trips I'd definitely add a lot of the stuff that you have done. I always start with the thing that makes them sound and feel like a Harley. Pipes.
You can check out my vid here. th-cam.com/video/Vhry6Tx905o/w-d-xo.html
Tell me what you think. Id appreciate the feedback.
thanks pour les commentaires en français
what tuner did you go with?
Power Vision. Nothing fancy. It runs well!
@@thehdguy378 Perfect. and what bars are you running?
How much did you pay for paint
Around $3,500 plus labor to take off the tins.
Timer set!
You’re on top of it! I’ll put out another video this week on my trip to Colorado.
Sounds excellent Chad!!
So what sissy bar was that lol 🤦🏽♂️
The one I use when riding with a passenger. Harley back rest with a saddlemen pad
Loud pipes don’t save lives…so ensuring that someone is aware you’re in their blind spot won’t help your chances of them not turning into you? Doesn’t matter how you ride…others on the road are usually to blame. Also…arms in the air turn you into a sail? Are you riding with a wing suit on? Lmao….you should be riding more than a week before starting a YT channel about it 🤣😂
Get in your car, have a buddy with loud pipes ride in your blind spot (sound traveling behind you, in the opposite direction, granted the sound is faster than your car you still have factors preventing most of the sound from reaching the car) and tell me you can hear the motorcycle. Assuming it’s a newer model car with good insulation you won’t hear a thing. Pre 2000’s you may hear the bike. Then factor in that 95% of people have their music turned up beyond reason.
I’ll agree, loud pipes are safer than no pipes (by a very small margin), but don’t rely on it. Expect the unexpected.
If you change your stance to “I control everything that happens to me when on a motorcycle” you’ll be a lot better off. I firmly believe that despite drivers actually being in the wrong, it’s the motorcycle riders fault. It’s always our fault. Short of someone ramming into us at a stop light or barreling into us at 100 miles an hour from behind on the highway, it’s always our fault. Take on this mindset and you’ll decrease the risk of an accident by 10 fold.
Raising your arms too high can create drag. This happens under certain circumstances like not having a fairing (no brainer) or being leaned slightly forward vs slightly backward. If your bars put you in a forward leaning position regardless of how tall they are you’ll be pulled back by the force of the wind. Raise the bars and reduce your leverage to resist that force, putting the strain on your abdomen, lower back, and shoulders. The main obstacle here is understanding the definition of a sail, and then relate that to how it would relate to this scenario. And physics… don’t forget physics. Thanks for reading.
@@thehdguy378 yes, you can absolutely hear a bike when you’re in a car with the windows up and the radio up. I can hear a bike 3-4 spots behind me like that and I keep my eye out for them, creating a safer environment for them. Maybe I have good hearing, or maybe you have poor hearing, but that’s always been my experience and if it’s mine, it has to be others as well. If it helps 1/10 people know I’m behind them, it’s worth it. And I ran 16 inch apes with 4 inch risers on a 67’ ironhead with a rigid frame for years. Never felt any drag from my arms being up. It’s no different than riding with drag bars and no windshield. No windshield is the key…without one you’ll always feel that regardless of the position of your arms. The difference in wind resistance when raising your arms up on higher bars vs keeping them down low is negligible at best.
Visibility is by far more effective than loud pipes. Ironically nobody with loud pipes ever wears visibility equipment. I’m all about a good sounding exhaust but my experience is people that like obnoxiously loud exhausts use “loud pipes save lives” as an excuse for their embarrassingly loud exhausts. If you’re that concerned, ride with a neon vest on. Or a hi vis helmet. Pretty sure you’re wearing a half helmet in your profile pic. You gonna tell me more about your safety? Maybe give me the typical “helmets are statistically more dangerous than not wearing a helmet” argument?
@@thehdguy378 1. that half helmet is DOT approved. 2. I generally wear a Ruroc Atlas 4.0 full face (check any video I’ve uploaded). But listen, you can believe no one hears loud pipes or that the creamsicle orange on that bike is going to help…it’s all good…you’re entitled to your wrong opinion. Have a good one!
Why so much intro cringe for a harley.
