Vets Helping Vets part 3
On day 3, we do some of the best riding of the entire trip. We road through a large portion of the Black Hills and got to experience Mount Rushmore, Iron Mountain Road and visited Black Hills Harley-Davidson before checking into our Airbnb that would be our home for several days.

In part 2 we ride from Garden City, KS to Hot Springs, SD and get rained on most of the day. We check out a pretty cool watering hole in the middle of nowhere Nebraska and Ziggy picks a fight with his rain gear and loses. Good times as always.

I took my brand new 2024 Road Glide 3,415 miles, over 11 days, covering 8 states and thin I did the Iron Butt home. I have some thoughts on this big new change to the Harley-Davidson touring line.

Is it time to upgrade my ride?

After 6 months of electrical issues with my 2019 Road Glide Special, I consider purchasing a 2024 Road Glide. Do I go through with it?
Apple Carplay on my 2019 Road Glide in less than 10 minutes for less than $20.

After 5 years, I decided it was time to install Apple Carplay on my Harley. Did I have to break the bank to do it, watch and find out.
Time for a much needed upgrade. Bring on the Saddlemen Rodasofa.

No better way to get ready for some long spring and summer miles that installing a new seat. Let's see how the Saddlemen Roadsofa does on the long miles I have planned in the near future.

Do something else
I actually enjoy it. It’s not a full time gig. I spend the majority of my time on my Motor Unit working the highway.
Even the new Indians and Goldwings were able to keep analog gauges. I would hate having the speedometer change and move and even losing the tach. Buying a premium touring bike with a lousy seat is ridiculous. Like buying an offroad truck with street tires. Compared to older models you get a worse seat (especially passenger), no saddlebag bars, no front fender lights or script, one key fob instead of two, no tour pack, no passenger foot boards, no driving lights (Street Glide), one side adjustable shocks, all for a lot more money.
I agree with you about the seat but I think part of it is they have a lot of options for better seat to purchase from the dealer hoping that most buyers will spend a little more money. Saddlebag bars are not really needed. I lay my work motor down frequently in training and the bag guards rarely take any damage unless it goes all the way over, so really the only reason to have them is for looks. If you lay the bike down far and hard enough to get it in its bags, you may have other issues. I agree there should be a second key fob. My 2014 ultra came with two. A lot of time I see the touring bike running solo so why spend the money throwing footboards on a bike when a good chunk of the buyers don’t need them and don’t want that extra cost, same reason for the tour pack I would imagine. I don’t think street glides ever had drive lights. The Electraglides did.

Great video brother. Thanks for sharing.
@@duece228 appreciate that brother. Ride safe.
years and years I was hoping they go back to the 22 model next year lol ride safe/ idk I tried warming up to the new ones I just cant..
@@lawtondevil it took me a bit but now it has grown on me. I am glad I made the decision to get it.
screen protector you said it cheep you said it my opinion the 24s dont look near the level of the older models did..
@@lawtondevil I may look into a screen protector to solve the sensitivity issue if I can find a good one.
Have a link for that seat pad?

Stopped in SD in 2020 for a couple days. I plan to do a Northwest US trip in 2025 and will check these locations out...cannot wait. GREAT VIDEO!!! New sub. From this Marine MOM, Navy wife, Air Force Daughter and Army Grand-daughter---thank you guys for your service!!!! (Melissa)
I appreciate your support ma’am. Definitely enjoy your ride. The next few parts of the series will include Devils Tower and the Crazy Horse monument.
@@2WheelVet loved devils tower. Will watch ☺️
I hear this a lot and just saw it in this video too. The mentality that "it is a stock item, it is what it is" ... No... I do not agree with that. I just paid 30k for a frkin motorcycle, put a fkin decent seat on... like any other non Harley manufacturer. speakers that I can hear... I've met some wonderful people who owns 23+ CVOs and they complain about the seat too. I mean just look at it, it is paper thin. I mean wtf... so what if it is stock? If I buy a new car, and the seat is messed up, I am taking that back. It is not gonna be, it is what it is... and btw, my truck was 24k USD when I bought it, adjusting for the inflation, it is the same price as a two wheel mass produced Harley motorcycle... wtf Harley
I am a long time HD supporter and will always own one but I agree with you. Part of me wonders if they don’t bother putting the time into developing better accessories like seats, speakers, and such due to the large aftermarket. But who knows what goes through the minds of the engineers at HD. Ride safe brother.
Nice review with focused comments based on personal experience.
Appreciate that brother. Ride safe.
Hey man, good video. I bought my 24 Road Glide about 3 months ago and have 5K on it. Like you, I think Harley nailed it on these 24 touring bikes.
That’s awesome man. Enjoy the ride. I am slowly making a list of the upgrades I plan to do on mine.
New harley- davidson..... to match electronic 😊tv screen for what?
I am confused by your comment.
huh?
Great video brother, I really like the new bike. I also had issues with my apple carplay on mine. It’s been at the HD dealer for 1 week. But it’s still a great improvement from the last models.
There was an update that came out in May that fixed a big issue they were having where the radio muted and you couldn’t get it to play without pulling the fuse. I am pretty sure the issue I talked about in this video is with Cardo.
i customize my mustang seat to work
Can you tell us what you did & how? What Mustang seat?
@@amberbali8881 i remove the rivets of the seat cover from the front to half way back i pulled the cover back out of the way and with a multitool i cut the plastic off where the seat wraps around the tank going back about 6 inches. i cut about 3/4 to an 1 inch off to nothing back about 6 inches. then pulled the seat cover back over and re pop rivet after pull the cover tight. i hope this makes sense
the problem is there a new design on the side cover which comes up higher
@@timnevitt2993 Thanks. I have thought about using a older style side cover also. Frame is the same but tank is wider. Did you also have to alter the square hole in the front of the seat to work with the new front mounting at the rear of the tank?
@@amberbali8881 yes i cut off part of the metal on gas tank
The seat is awful...24 Street Glide. But I get it, everyone changes them out, along with the windshield.
I’ve been hearing you gotta put 3k miles or more to break in the seat.
@@thanosetsitty1896 I call BS...
Yeah I believe the large aftermarket has a little bit to do with HD not putting too much energy into stuff like the seat, stereo and other little things that are swapped out pretty quickly after purchase.
@@thanosetsitty1896that must be a new seat thing. My 2019 RGS had 20K on the seat and it always sucked. Swapped it for a Saddleman right before I traded it.
Friction Zone shaved his vent switch, to open it up more.
Interesting.
Harley-davidson knocked it out of the park with the 2024 models! Super nice bikes!!
I am loving mine so far. Looking forward to making a lot more content with it whether it’s rides or upgrades.
Buy two and store one. Then you can have a parts bike to replace all the components who will eventually fail probably within the first 5 years. HD is nose diving
Well I guess time will tell.
Hasn't been my experience with any of my last 4 HD's I've owned, nor with anyone I know so I don't know where you concocted that nonsense...
Just say you can't afford it dude...its ok...grab yourself a Grom!!
Great to see a fellow CVMA member with a channel. If you want to save money on a seat and have a very comfortable seat look up Mean City Cycles. They redo seats and customize seats. My wife and I had both our bike seats done and love them. Ask for Kris, he is in CVMA.
I was on Rochester at Nationals as well. I wish I knew you were there. It would have been nice to shake your hand!! Keep up the good work!!
Appreciate it brother. As of now, I plan to be at Nationals 2025. 🤞
@@2WheelVet I can't wait for Georgia!! I'll see you there.
Dude awesome video as always. I will be joining the CVMA soon. I'll keep you posted battle.
Good deal brother and thanks for comment. Stay tuned, there is more to come in this series.
Congrats brother. Give me a call

Ride safe brother.
Congrats best of luck thanks for your service!
I appreciate that. Stay safe.
Guess I wasn't the only one trying to break in his new 2024 RG before Nationals! lol
Hell no brother. Me and a few brothers are heading up to SD tomorrow. Gonna spend 4-5 days there riding and checking out all the sites before the rally craziness.
@@2WheelVet My group is headed out on Sunday. Gonna take our time, check out some buffalo, and a casino. Maybe I'll see you up there.
We will be in the SD area from the 15th to the 19th. If you have FB you can contact me there Ryan Crewdog DC.
Congratulations on the new Road Glide. It looks great! Godspeed
Thanks brother. Ride safe.
Congrats on the new bike!!! Crush the miles!!! From KY 1-2
Absolutely brother. I need to get it in for its first service before Nationals.
@@2WheelVet Absolutely!!! Enjoy the trip! I won't be there this year but I'm sure it will be one helluva time!
I plan on doing a long video on my trip around SD and WY on the way to nationals and then all the shenanigans at Nationals. So stay tuned for that.
@@2WheelVet Sounds pretty damn epic!!! I look forward to it!
How do you like that helmet?
Hey seat looks good. you planning on making nationals?
Looks great on the bike, looking forward to your review on the ride. We appreciate you.
Thanks for the comment. I am enjoying it so far.
@@2WheelVet We love to hear it. Thank you for the support!
Great video... Did you consider any other HD seats, like the "tallboy"? Or is this brand one that you already have used before? Godspeed
The only other seat I seriously considered due to price and feel was the Harley-Davidson Hammock. There are so many out there, I had to rely heavily on the opinions of similar sized buddies and online reviews. Time will tell if I made a mistake.
10:00 - He said like Magilla the Gorilla!!! Ole school!!! Right on!! Ride safe Brothers!!!! From KY 1-2!!!
Same to you brother.
Great sound track..Who is it ? x
It’s from a royalty free music service called sound stripe. I don’t recall the artist.
it still looks good ! From France !
It is in pretty good shape considering its age.
Very Sorry for your loss. prayers to you and your family. CVMA is a wonderful organization.
Fasinating. Thanks from Germany
That red bike looks bad a**
It does look pretty good, unlike the troll riding it.🤣
Thanks for the talk on this helmet. I have a very long oval head(looks like you do also), I'm having a hell of a time finding a helmet for touring and long rides. I've been to Cycle Gear and a few dealerships trying on every head bucket they have in stock nothing works. No one stocks Simpson so I haven't ever tried one on, how does this one fit your head shape? Any loose areas around the sides or pressure points on the forehead or back of the head? Thx again.
I am working on a review for the helmet now. But to answer your questions, after a 500 mile ride, no hot spots, plenty of room in the cheek area to chew gum but also feel secure. I will explain more in the review so stay tuned.
Frenchie clubs. 😂 looks like a great turnout😂 🐽
Lol, don’t hate.
how often do you guys ride have rides ?
New subscriber! Looks like a great ride for an enormously critical cause. Ride safe!!
Praying for all of you.
Hey bro, random request but can you tell me what your head measures in IN/CM for reference.
Yeah. I need to see if I can find my soft tape.
Crew dog, Prayers to you and your family. I'm Silverback, Sgt at Arms from CVMA 38-3 in Jersey and i couldn't agree with you more!!! This is truly a special organization. I'm very happy to be a part of.
Condolences on the loss of your father. Glad that the brotherhood/sisterhood that you have with CVMA is able to help you and your family make it through the tough times. Thanks for sharing and Thank you for your service. Godspeed
Appreciate your comment sir. The CVMA has been good to my family and to veterans as a whole.
Oh wow. I loved watching this video. This ended on a sad note. I really hope the rodeo comes back. It’s great training for real world riding. I drive school bus, special needs. We have bus driver rodeo but since Covid, the rodeos have stopped. I use the skills in my daily driving. It’s actually called Bus Driver Road-e-o. Thanks for sharing, it’s exciting to see what can be done with a motorcycle.
Thanks for your comment. Though this specific Rodeo has come to an end, there are others out there and another new one in the works. Stay tuned and subscribe, there will be more to come.
I am sorry for your loss. I can easily understand it s a hard moement. But if I may, you look like you father a lot !!!! US roads look nice, it must be a pleasure to ride along those. Take care, keep cool ! From France !
Thanks for your kind words. I was fortunate to ride on some decent roads. There are many bad ones unfortunately.
I thoroughly enjoyd that ride with you, but that was tough to watch! Dad loved you so much, and was always so proud to be your dad. Any time you need a riding partner you know where to find me. We'll both have our angel watching over us now. 😇 ❤
Had a great time! See you at Nationals!! 8UP and Hashtag 23-8 Corpus Christi
