- In this video, I'm sharing 6 Things I Wished I Never Bought For My Harley Davidson Road Glide. I was excited to own a Harley Davidson, finally. I wanted to make it my own, no matter how much money I had to spend. I did what it took to get my motorcycle to look customized. The 6 things I purchased weren't necessarily bad. It just wasn't what I thought it would be.

Nice video and I knew you had earned my follow when you said you’re also an American citizen and you had to represent 👌 that’s awesome to me and I wish we could get everyone here to realize we live in an amazing country and to appreciate it
I love knowing someone else is as excited about their bike as I am mine!
Keep going, bro 💪
Thanks! Will do!
I 68 and ride everyday that the weather is good. About 10-12K per year or more. I quit spending money on chrome a long time ago. I put some slip on screaming eagle pipes that were used for $100. Other than that I just ride it.
Great advice for me being new owner.
Thanks
Any time!
I'm with you on the mirrors. I bought the nice looking skinny ones for my Heritage but I have learned to live with them.
That's good. I'm assuming that your eyes adjusted.
Sweet Bike. Very classy build. Black and orange blends together perfectly.
Thanks
My pops sent me your video. Definitely needed to see it. I'll keep my 2012 street glide as is for now. Patience is key. Bada** bike you have.
Patience s definitely key.
Two things no three things1 like and enjoyed your content. 2 With windshield it depends on your height, you ride a lot and tall you don’t want the wind beating you up 3 when motorcycle owner you cannot purchase items on emotions, Ty for important info, gives us newbies something to think about.Greetings from Caribbean PR, 6 months here 6 months Sun Coast of Florida. God bless….2001 Ultra Glide my 1st HD ❤️
Hell yeah, I fought the king tour pack idea for along time, but I finally got one and I love it.
Nice RG! Tastefully customize!
Much appreciated
Just the fact that you are an spontaneous shopper (me too) and the voices you do when talking about certain things….im going to follow you 😆. You had me rolling
🤣🤣🤣
That's absolutely great and interesting discussion bro
Thanks
1st trike and bike (Harley Davidson RG3). I added some accessories before I received the bike and just took my time to enjoy the ride. You are right I will take my time buying anything else and take notes. Great video bro!
Congrats on the RG3. 💪🏽💯
Ray and Dallas, are having a camp out in Oct. At Henry Horton State Park. Good video.
Share more info on that.
Just got me a Fat Bob 2023 and love it on all levels. I will be taking my time doing my upgrades.
That’s the way to go. Be careful because it sneaks up on you very quickly.
Good content Bruh. Thanks. Be Safe and enjoy the ride.
Thanks, will do!
All great points!!
What’s up my
Bro.
when u did the accent, i subscribed. gonna watch from now on. great video, cuz it really is like this. after i got mine, all i catch myself doing is looking at parts catalogs lol.
Thanks for the sub! Much love.
What’s up bro this is Jackson from nyc with the security CPR school. I didn’t no you were a vivid rider. I been riding for over 15 years. Good to see your new podcast I just subscribed be safe on the road
Email me at RIDEFITNATION@gmail.com always had a bike parked in the gym.
First time to the channel. Good stuff and like the bike. Ride safe!
Welcome aboard!
Yeah, chrome inner primary on a chromed Harley is really nice…expensive though. Thanks for the video. I agree with your sediments.
That’s what you do on your bike? That should have a good look,
Lowers are a MUST HAVE!!! add speaker pods w/ some dope 6.5's!
Love my lower. I wouldn't want to ride without them
You're Right Bro... My Brother Who's Goldwing Rider, Trash-Talks My Road Glide Special....I'm Aware Of The Engineering--Cost Efficient Aspects Of Goldwings And Other Brands... But A Harley Just Speaks To Me In Different Ways...
They are all nice bikes but I love my Harley
. . . . "man I gotta list". HAHA- We've all been there as well. Great video-super personality for TH-cam!
Thanks a lot
Hi Ride Fit Nation, liked & Subscribed, long time rider, first time HD owner,just bought my Road Glide in November 2022, I feel you with being broke in the first year, look forward to all your content, Be Blessed, Aloha Kenneth
Hey Kenneth. Thank you for subscribing. How’s that RG treating you?
@@ridefitnation I really love this bike, Glad I got my Harley finally, one of my coworkers, waited till he retired, and Sadly lost his battle with Cancer,so yeah, I am 50 years old, very Blessed & Humble to be part of Harley Davidson Family and Road Glide Nation, ride safe, take care, be Blessed, Aloha, Kenneth 🤙🏽
Since you mentioned some of my favorite motorcycle TH-camrs you get a new subscriber
Appreciate that
I've been looking for this video again. I would like to know how you colored those accents orange? Beautiful!!!!
th-cam.com/video/aUDVxAscUBk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XWdF8ylXPtsQq71n
Nice bike! Love the color scheme!
Thanks!
So so right on you nailed it bro! I’ve been there especially with the windshield. What May look kool in a catalog doesn’t always fit the theme of your bike. I wish Harley had more options when you go to buy a bike . They give you a bunch of mediocre parts that end up as dust collectors. Better off with a used bike that has most of what you want and save some dolleros. Nice Road Glide btw.
Exactly!!
Like the wheels....really gives it that little bit of pop!
Thanks Mark
Great video. Sharp bike
Thank you
"I gotta represent" 😅 great verse!
Greetings from Poland!
Hey, thanks!
Good information
Thanks
love the color combo Brother...
Thank you
Awesome video bro
Appreciate it
Good video Brother. Love your bike. If I see you on the road or at Stugis the beverage of your choice is on me.
Deal!
8 seconds in and I hear it... big up yuhself fambily 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲.
Ok... lemme go watch this.
EDIT: now that I watched it, I had to come back...I was happy to hear the confirmation. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 to di werl 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Anyway, this is a GREAT video!! It popped up in my feed and now I'm a subscriber. I just bought my first motorcycle...a Breakout...she's beautiful!!! My friend who has been in the Harley family for years, has also cautioned me against buying unnecessary things. I look forward to seeing more of your content.
By di way...Beast is 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks bro
Thank you.
Lowers sick lol. Checkout forward controls with your height you'll love them
What state are you out of I'm out of Tennessee, South of Knoxville and also another one is good to watch is
is her 2 wheels.
Bike looks great!
Thanks Tom.
That black and orange lookin clean
Thank you
I had the same mirror @5:38 but I didn't like the the curve of it when I but them on. It sat wayyyy to tall for me.
💪🏽
You must have went to Hunting Beach Harley 😂, I had factory 47’s too.
I just got a 2009 street glide for a smoking deal. Been riding motocross my whole life. Love the bell helmets but i said screw it imma buy the sedici strada 2 and got me a blue and silver mirror visor. Love the helmet just doesnt have enough ventilation lol. Im about to get some thrashin t bars and hook it up. Love your bike man and that color setup is fresh
Congrats on you SG and welcome to the squad.
I agree with doing a walk around of the beast.
💪🏽
Beautiful bike my brother
Thank you
Your bike looks great..
Thanks alot
Bike looks killer. I have a 22 roadglide limited in the Apex paint scheme. I need that horn. Where did you get it, if you don't mind me asking ? Great video
This horn cover was custom designed by my powder Coater.
I like my lowers too I only bought them to add more speakers, but I fell in love with look it gave the bike shoulders. What do you like about yours? Also, I did OEM Harley CVO lo profile mirrors they’re the best imo
I love it because of the shoulders. It fills out the bike.
Cool video, what do you think of the new CVO's?
I love my bike too much at the moment to pay much attention to it.
Did you buy a new seat as well?
Sweet looking Bike
Thanks!
Subscribed!
Thanks
Can you do a walk around that beautiful bike
How do u like the frame mounted highway pegs compared to the ones mounted on the crash bar...I can never get them just right
I wouldn’t trade it for nothing.
@@ridefitnation but did u have them on the crash bar at first...to see the difference....I'm seriously thinking about getting the frame mounted ones...but I'm only 5"9 r they adjustable?? Thanks for the response and I subscribed to your channel #teamroadglide 👊🏽🖤
Tell me about the Centre stand- brand, location of air compressor , switch location, etc…
I’m using a manual stand
Any takers? I say he'll buy a lot more stuff that he'll never use...
Nice bike
I'll second that
I think I already purchased enough @raysmith5071
Thank you
Like some one to take me for a ride on a Harley some thing I love them
Nice bike!
Thanks!
Did person in previous comment buy the tour pack?? Shoulda did 16’s on my road glide ultra.
I still have it
Bike looks good Bro
Thanks T.💪🏽💯
I'm just waiting on my settlement and then I'm going to bring my bike down 2023 Street glide and let you put my bars
What puzzles me is the road glide people like yourself that loves the lowers and puts on the tour pack. Why not just buy the Road Glide Limited. All that comes with it for a better price point plus you get the liquid cooled heads. First time viewer nice video
Thanks for watching. I would not have saved much because I would’ve still changed everything on the bike except for the parts you named which is why I purchased a standard. The lowers and tour pack cost me under $500 combined.
It happens to all of us..tins.seats bars exhaust, mirrors. Carbs..oh yeah gotta find the right ones...
Facts
What tour pack brand do you have again?
Hogworkz
1st order of business is to buy a Road Glide Limited. I fell for the same trap when I purchased a Street Glide, I turned it into an Ultra Limited.
I didn’t fall for the trap. I would’ve done the same things I did to this bike regardless except for the tour pack.
I bought a 2001 dyna fxdx 2 years ago, and ive got $25k into it not including the cost of the bike. I have zero self control. S&S 124, inverted front end, trac dynamics swingarm, and everything else thats possible. Now im looking at a road glide. Shits gettin real bad lol.
Brother I feel when you say forget cool accessories for your metric cruzer, I have Kawasaki nomad 1600 and so far I been able to get some Harley parts that fit but dam it's a work, but I love the bike
It was way too much work for me. I loved my metric but not for customizing.
Hey bro, you know how to set up a "Beast" love that bike!
Much appreciated Lecroy. 💯💪🏽
Good video bro
Appreciate it
I’m with you bro. I have 5 helmets 😂 just a waste of money 💴
Bro. I stopped wasting money. I'm growing a money tree in my backyard.🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ridefitnation lol 😂
Its a try n error on parts. Ive left mine the way ive got them. All stock or upgraded by the other owner. Ive got two HD Vrodes and a cvo pro street breakout.
Nice bikes
Nice bike
Thank you
I can relate. I purchased so many parts for my Fat Bob and then traded it in for a Sport Glide. After a couple years and several modifications I traded in the Sport Glide for a Road Glide Special. This is my last bike. I am officially broke. Broke. However, I enjoyed all the bikes and am loving my RGS! I am going to enjoy going broke even more over it!
I’m giving. I thing but smiles from this end . We are happy broke. 💪🏽🤣🤣
Im 6'5 ive always wanted the street glide..but do to sz and i want the power...so do to a little research i come with the ULTRA OR THE ROAD GLIDE🤔 what are your thoughts?? Your bikes awesome shes set up perfect thats the look im shooting for!! Im thinking red all over..i know...or black with ghost flames! Im following your channel.
Red on a RG would be a great look.
@@ridefitnation you killing me but I'm looking seriously at the road glide..you even sold the other tou tuber on buying one!!😂😂👍🏽👍🏽 I died laughing the TALL guy walking tall?? You sold that brother..and wow your doing the same to me. 🤔 got like a rabbit foot in your pocket
Man I did the same thing,started buying stuff that I didn't need.
🤣🤣🤣 facts.
Do a 4 inch vs 4.5 inch pipe comparison on your choice of pipe
I don’t have a 4 inch but I’ll tell you that I recently received the 5 and I love them both. I’ll do a video on both of those.
Can you get into sports bikes specifically Suzukis so I have a guy to buy stuff off of at a discount?
I left the sport bike world years ago.
I went with the Sedici Sistema for when I want a full face. Love that helmet. Most comfortable full I’ve ever owned with good ventilation which is where so many fulls fail. Do yourself a favor and get the transition face shield too. Dark in sun and clear at night.
I've really been thinking about it. Thanks for mentioning that.
Just bought the same one last week (from a 2nd generation East Bay Dragon patch holder at that) and really like it.
Avoid those damn German Shuberths! Way over priced, noisy, and coms don't fit inside for anything.
Do you still have the razor pack for sale?
I do still have it. I can sell it you with everything for $680. Liner, mounting bracket, plate, pad, etc…
You still have that tour pack? If so I'm interested.
I’m selling the razor tour pack with the liner for $525. You’ll need to get the metal plate and mounting bracket.
Maybe I can get some feedback from group. One of these days I plan to buy a Harley. Main reason being customization. I have a really nice Suzuki M109 and its been modded. But its hard to keep going. From a Harley perspective, i want comparable seat of pants to my M109 (it will do an honest 135plus with my 275# butt on it)...which is pretty fast for a big heavy cruiser. If I go 103/110 twin cam or Milwaukee, what stages will give me a comparable feel?
Not quite sure what you mean in some parts but you can get a big bore kit with either 124 or 138. But that all depends on which bike you end up getting.
Yup I have box's of stuff I bought and don't use I need to sell LOL!!
Yup!
good idea on saving ya parts just in case you trade in
Yup. It’s the best thing to do
I have the same bike and I'm about to order the same handle bars, and I need to know everything you bought thanks in advance
Be sure to get poly bushings. As for cable length, you’ll need to measure that on you own
@ridefitnation thanks so much cause I don't think I would need the 20in cause I'm 6'7 I might just go with the 18in
Are you going to put a cam in beast
I have a cam but will be doing some upgrades soon. Stay tune.
should do a video on why fitness is important in motorcycle riding.
I have a few videos on this topic Scott. 💪🏽💯
I made so many purchases and returned them.. but riding gear more so than accessories. Are you running stock suspension? If so, do you plan to upgrade the suspension and to what? Keep the content coming, love it!
I will definitely upgrade suspension but no time soon. I’m fine with what I have for now. Im thinking about Ohlins suspension
I got wilbers performance suspension on my 2017 street glide special check them out
Another green horn expert!!
We’re all green horns at some point in our life but there’s no where in this video I claim to be an expert. But I’ll tell you one thing, I’m an expert in spending money and learning from it.
I've been riding for years. I watched this because I was really curious what you were going to say about wasting money. Lololololol... I know, I know, I've done the same things...
Facts.
Looking forward to the drone footage. Collabs with others would be interesting to watch.
Whats up Mike. I cant wait to fly this thing when I get it tomorrow.
Which Sedici helmet do you own?
Sistema 2
Still looking to sell the razor tour pack? I'm interested.
email me at ridefitnation@gmail.com
Are you still happy with the fat front tire? How's the handling?
Happy all the way.
So true
Facts
I always waste money on the quick detachable tour pack kit. I’ve done so for every bagger I’ve owned. Such a waste of money because I never take my tour packs off.
🤣🤣 So darn true
Men!! I’m like you, when I think of something I need to get it done no matter what lol 😅
Facts!🤣
1:29 that’s the damn truth lol
🤣💯
I put lowers and a king tourpak with the small backrest on my bike as well and they ain't never coming off LOL! I had a chopped pak on my last bike they suck. You can't put much in them including a full face helmet. People think the razors and chopped look better. It's a box on the back of your bike!! You might as well make it as useful as possible. I tell all new riders to ride for a while before making any changes. You may think you want 1 thing but a month later you realize you want something else
YUP! I love my King
I was so glad I picked up a Harley never checked everything on the bike because I said it’s a Harley I had to put a stater in the air for new tire but I didn’t check out a new battery but it was running when I got it but I didn’t pay no mind to the small things that Precio aspirin amount of money on it even a brand new seat but guess what I did the work myself I looked on TH-cam and did the work myself I was so scared when I opened up the engine and took everything out but I took my time we got back together now I’m good to go would you hit it right on the head😊
