    Best of health to our Sportster Brother Eli! May you recover quickly and full from both the crash and cancer. - Alchemoto, I've missed the Sportster content but find myself now wishing to get a PanAm now! I bought my Seventy-Two partially because you and I thank you so much! It's done me worlds of good for my mental health. You're a legend and we all appreciate your consistent videos! Cheers, mate!

      Cheers for that mate 👍.. Yep, the sportster has been taking a well earned break over the winter. You miss it after being on the pan, but there is no comparison .. I do wonder how the hell I toured those mountain roads on a 48 though 🤣👍.. enjoy that 72. But dont dismiss the power of the pan am 👊

    Thank you so much my Brother, that was fantastic and makes me feel so much stronger for watching your videos.
    I know how much work that goes into making and editing these videos and your words and actions humble and inspire me to stay strong and keep going.
    I am looking forward to spring summer to get back out on the sportster.
    Hopefully see you at the Bobheads.
    I have been having a bit of depression and you definitely help get me out of the dark places when watching your videos.
    Once again best wishes ride safe and keep on enjoying life to full.
    All the best Ely

      Glad you enjoyed it mate 👌. You know, as much as I have inspired you. Again, its stories like yours that make us realise to enjoy that 'every' moment.. And I wish everyone knew the pain of editing 🤣. Heres the deal.. when the weather is better.. we will meet at bobhead. Have a brew. Bring some of the crew. And ride together my friend 👊..
      Any time you feel down. Message me 👊

    Hey dude.... you do have some great roads around by you. Wish I had roads like that. Regarding the Sporty, even though I have my Heritage and that is my Go-To bike, I could never get ride of my Sporty. It's such a fun bike and super reliable................... I still want a Pan Am though.

      @ALCHEMOTO  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Hi mate.. yeah, i cant really complain, the peak district on your doorstep is a blessing.. and perfect for the sporty. You have a pair of classic bikes and to tear those apart is a decision I couldnt make but to make room for a pan 🤔.. hmmmm 😄... you can never lose the love of touring on a classic harley but that Pan.... it maybe just makes that journey a little easier on the old bones 😁👍

    noticed your video for the progressive monotube cartridge kit. did it lower the front end by 2"? if it did have you had any ground clearance problems. looknig to upgrade my iron 1200 with these and already got 2" lower shocks on the rear. ride safe.

    • @ALCHEMOTO
      @ALCHEMOTO  Před 5 měsíci

      Hi Patrick, thanks for watching that vid. Even if the annoying background music was on it. (Early vid) 😄.
      Anyhow. I didnt lower the front but you can adjust that via the polybush when you install it. That is all on the instructions supplied. What I can say is the progressives make a big difference in ride and never have to worry about fork seals again. Plus. They are adjustable so that is a bonus for the ride 👍

    Does the windscreen do any good or is it more for looks?
    I have a 2020 Iron 1200 and I want a little wind protection.

    • @ALCHEMOTO
      @ALCHEMOTO  Před 6 měsíci +3

      It gives good protection for upper body and a bit off head but not as effective as a tall full screen obviously. Does make a difference though.
      Dart flyscreens. Quality stuff 👍
