Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, and I’ll follow this process with interest. But I bought my midnight blue 2019 FLSB mostly because I like it the way it is.
Finally Harley releases a sport touring bike with a minimalist modern look and some people want to turn it into a blacked-out stereotype with old-school wheels, apes, studded bags and club-style fairing.
I keep the mini batwing on, but remove the panniers for short hops and use a swingarm bag for essentials. I did install 4” pullback risers to accommodate my short arms and got a full stage one from the dealer to let the M8 breathe with a Rinehart slip-on, Screamin’ Eagle ventilator and a dyno tune. Runs great, handles great, offers a comfortable ride and turns heads.
To each his own, but I think I’ll quit while I’m ahead. Looking forward to seeing how this project turns out!
I agree John a lot of people who do mods on Harley't don't know what they are doing I've seen some really nice bikes turned into POS with problems, which they sell on to other people, some people need to leave motorcycle a lone or at least go and work with someone who knows what their doing.
Four plus months into owning a Sport Glide, Scorched Orange/Black Denim, just about 2,000 miles. Took it home with a stage III kit, SE exhaust, extreme flow air cleaner and SE tuning and a big smile on my face. It was a long road to finely pulling the trigger on this bike, but as soon as I saw it and test road it, SOLD! The Kit setups that are available from Screamin Eagle, are well thought out. I know there are a lot of other players out there making go fast parts, but "I feel like the S E folks" did a great job. Yes, the stock M8 107 is a good motor but once you ride the Stage III........ As far as the build, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Gone love this serie. I have a 2018 sport glide stage 1, with a miller exhaust. Next winter Blacked out, higher bar, little bit club style. Looking forward to the next episode.
Can't believe you don't have more subscribers than you do!?!?! Your videos are great. You ride a good selection of bikes and your route to test ride is better then any other vlogger. Made me a fan. Oh, I agree with a few others in the comments on how to customize but definitely taller handle bars and switch out that exhaust to be mean!
Me too on the wheels. This down season I'm powder coating those suckers gloss black. I like the mantis wheels too but not so much the kind of dull looking wheel color scheme. I also want to vinyl wrap the bags gloss black too. Higher handlebars and stage 2 exhaust. I'm like you, 2019 Sport Glide and starting to see more and more mods for our "Glide." 😁 Ride safe and thx for the vid!
For the Aircleaner, do the Arlen Ness Velocity 65. It looks drag racer inspired and what not, but its a new air cleaner design, that just got released. And Arlen Ness passed away a few days ago.
I think it'd be cool to have an Arlen Ness air intake for a little nod to the Chopper King.
A sportglide special/dark custom would be really cool! Keep up with the great vids 👍👍👍
Glad too see you on Phat G, cool project hope it comes together nicely, I’d love to see some customized saddle bags on this project and a removable custom windshield, and T bars for that club bagger look.
BMC Corbin seat got one for my 18 Street Bob comfort for touring and passenger with a wider passenger seat, nice two up riding very comfortable for both, but still keeps the sleek great style of the bike my favorite seat by far! I did 1500 miles in two days on it doing 750 miles a day got all the way to my first destination still feeling comfortable and like I could ride more if needed! I think it would look amazing on this bike!
thanks m8! awesome video, awesome bike. keep it up!
Great video Mark. Looking forward to seeing this get done. I don’t think you have to do too much to it. Nothing radical. I’m not such a fan of the panniers at present (having said paint them! 🤪) but do like the fairing. Just tone down the chrome, subtle colour scheme, perhaps remove the binnacle and use breakout instruments? It’s got quite modern appointments with inverted forks etc so if it were mine I would look to maintain a modern theme.
Hiya! Love the vlog! I ride triumph scrambler custom but love your Harley customs, so BA! Here in the US where I live nothing but Street Glides and Electra’s, your bikes are star! I rented a sport glide in Cali earlier this year loved it! Rode 280 miles great touring bike. I want one! My thoughts around custom:
1. Stage 1 upgrade
2. Pipes (exhaust)VH all day
3. Bars slight raise and drag bar
4. Seat Corbin
5. Highway bars
6. LED all the way around lights (flashing brake light)
7. Higher screen on front fairing
8. Small sissy bar
9. Custom HD basics , derby, gas caps, air cleaner,
10. Then you can send it to me for inspection!
Cheers mate!
I have this bike in Vivid black, done the stage 1 with Bassani road rage and SE heavy breather (both chrome), would love to see a Tail Tidy maybe as she’s quite chunky at the rear and looking fwd to see what you’ll do with the bars !!!! Can’t wait for the customisation mate !!!!
Love your videos bro, keep it up.
Powder coating, all the bike , in gloss black. Change handle bars to same original drag bars of low rider s. Stage 2 , with heavy breather screamn eagle. V&H 2 into 1 exhaust or arlen ness f-bomb . Remove bags and change fairing to a sportier look fairing. On the tank use the 30es flying eagle decals in bronze color. Some bronze color wraps on pipes.........man it will look, sound and perform extra special.
I’m into hairpins now on the sport glide. Holiday in Austria. Girlfriend and stacked up with all the luggage we could bring along. Rides like a dream. No extra power needed. Changed the gascaps, to a less pompous model. Flattens out the tank. #ridesfordays blacked out his sport glide…
Definitely interested in what you do with my bike.
Great Video!
I really like the sport glide and if I were to get rid of my Road Glide for a smaller bike it would be on the short list! But for now I'm doing to many long trips a year to drop down out of the touring bikes.
Top man been a subscriber to your channel for a long time.. and I have to ask ... Who and where do you find that soul funky type of music that allways starts your introduction . And wow you really put work into the films with drone footage
Thanks
I have a sport glide and rides often without the panniers. Great to see if you can do something with the tail lights because I'm not a real fan of them when you remove the panniers. I have search, but still nothing really cool.
Great bike to customise, I would like to know if you are going to put a full 2 into 1 chrome exhaust? I’m considering getting a Sport Glide. 👍
Motonewbrider been a sub for years some how missed the series but..... Traded my 18 Fat Bob (13,000) for the 20 Performance Orange Sport Glide last week (763 mi) looking forward to getting some tips brother. Ohh and by the way I love my glide!.......Ride hard or stay home😎
The entry song sounds like it's from the first Mass Effect.
Great bike!
Mustang solo seat with backrest and passenger seat cost around $725.00 my first mod for me next would be the windshield 12 inch clear then the footboards then a givi v56nn 4 max top case . Have fun with it . My so far has seat and windshield next is the givi top case then the footboards planning a trip to Yellowstone from New York State next summer . 👍
My favourite bike to ride by far. Can't wait to see what you do with it......and yes....16 degrees is bloody cold haha
Can you try, vance and hines exhaust and plus the engine guard on
This is one build that I am really looking forward to. Can't wait to see what you can do with that ride!
I'm not into to bling for this one - Phat G rings that bell more than well enough :) . To that end, a big bore kit w/exhaust and suspension upgrades would be more interesting to me, though I know you nixed that one already.
Love you newb! But you know? I think sometimes the reason I like your blog so much is that I don't think we could be any further apart on aesthetics. I can now be pretty sure that if you like it I'll hate it (and probably vice versa).
Love your blogs, keep em coming (even if it is so I know what to avoid). ;)
Ha ha top man 👍
This is the only bike that I think looks good with the club style fairing. Like Memphis shades.
I want one of these bikes so bad 😩
I have a sport glide. Needs a larger fairing. Otherwise good. I'd have floor boards. Risers with a pull back. Solo seat with back rest and a ginger sort with green eyes to who loves to toot on my flute whilst on route.
Since you so like the RK Special look, why not stick on a set of hard touring bags like the Cholo or Vicla guys do with the Deluxe and Heritage softails. The current bags are so naff into the bargain. It couldn't be too difficult.
Air cleaner could be the S&S mini teardrop in black.
Interesting bike for a build. I've yet to see someone build a sport glide out. Definitely a fresh idea and you can go pretty much any direction you want without looking like all the other bikes of that kind, which is kind of how it is for street bobs and low riders
Consider the Supertrapp Bootlegger 2-1 for pipes
Performance bagger should be its general theme
Why is the Sport Glide more expensive than the Low Rider apart from cruise control and bags? Can't see $3-4 Australian dollars extra cost for the Sport Glide?
Recently picked up the 19 Sport Glide, put a sundowner seat for the misses and it leaves a gap between tank and seat (not happy) I'll see what I can do anyway I've put mustache engine guards and a sissy bar and rack and the taller windscreen
from H-D thinking about stage 1 kit. There's a chap on your side of the pond I believe Suffolk Spoke Glide on youtube that's doing a nice job doing different with different upgrades. Looking forward to the series
Al from Florida
PS How do risers sound as opposed changing the bars?
Add fat black bars and paint the bags to match the rest of the sheet metal
Club style!
10 in DST Mayhem bars
Club style! Bring some So-cal to the UK! Saddle man, 2 to 1 exhaust, road warrior front, and crazy purple paint 😎
Your throttle cable on the PhatG would drive me nuts , right in the way of the POV.... interested to see what u do here... I find the Sport Glide one of the most bland HD’s to date.
Throttle cable needs internal wiring but thats a 2020 job.
Motonewbrider translation.... my wife’s had enough....😂
Motonewbrider BTW I changed the exhaust on my bike, wife didn’t even notice!!!! Road full throttle right by her...💪🏽
street slammer bars
What are the handlebars on the sporty?
From a company in the UK called fortress motorcycle - custom made to my spec
Oh and do the bars (black) the stock ones are really not my thing maybe a breakout lookalike ish I don't know!
To be honest all I want to do to mine is put a cobra exhaust, back rest and rack apart from that the bike is pretty much perfect. I think apes unless you 7 foot look stupid, the handle bars which are on their are really comfortable, floor boards might be good, never have those on a bike.
Stage 2, ghost mist purple custom paint, 2 into 3 slashed end custom exhaust, button seat purple buttons black seat, ram air filter with balanced pipes, 8 inch curved back riser drag bars that angle down on the grip part,Avon cobra chrome tyres, cut down rear fender. YAWN stage 1 really,
Right then...
Stage one.. handle bar risers an 100.. or perhaps 150 mill.
Push the pegs forward about 150 mill.
I agree with you on the pipes
But l like Vance and Hines
Fat shiny spoke wheels like the wide glide
Lastly a chrome sissy bar / back rest .
Òoooh yeah....
This is what I'll be doing when l get mine ..
This bike is the best Harley Davidson I've ever riden.. it's fantastic. I've got a 2012 wide glide now but I've a sports bike back ground so l like to push my bikes .
When I test rode the sport glide l really loved it.
Thanks for your up load can't wait to see what you do with it... cheers 😎
The blue flame wideglide pain job, drag bars, dechrome, stage 3
Bassani will decrease your lean angle and you will drag your header before pegs. Avoid!! But do what you will. All part of learning
Shit l forgot to say .. ld put a forward facing cone type air cleaner on too ... it gives more leg ròm so your right knee doesn't hit the air cleaner.
Plz plz plz plz plz try if you can get a jekill and hyde exhaust from my country ( that's the Netherlands) I'm going for this bike this summer if funding goes well. Can't wait what you decide to do with it!
New handlebars please 🙏🏼
That is my bike. There are many like it. But this one is mine - The day I saw this bike on the Harley Davidson website was the day I wanted to do my bike test. - True story.
FXRT fairing (detachable) club style bars, colour match panniers& stg 2
One of your paint jobs (not gold :) - black out the engine and fit a decent exhaust (hate the one on it, two tone colour, no thanks) - it does look bum heavy, appreciate the luggage and touring aspect, but needs help and if the cash is there some decent wheels - then its the handlebars, something different, swept back ?
A fairing that while not as big a tourer, looks more proportionate and is most of all, functional. Laidlaw is building up a SG and that fairing is looking good but there are probably options.
Aaron Ross Might be too much but check out These fairings. czcams.com/video/Z_8oZktKF5I/video.html
Pipes, steel braided lines
I would love to see, how it would look like with big spoke wheels on it 😍
Ape would be nice (does it match with the fairing?)
Big air cleaner and well...there are new Kess Tech Pipes out 😃
T-Bars!
Phat g handlebars, and please new tims. That bike has great handling but misses the looks
I would go for a stage 1, bit bigger bars, black pipes and a bevel mono seat
What a great idea!!. I am just waiting for my 19 Sport Glide in vivid black to be delivered. At the outset I put on the taller screen, sundowner seat (regretting that decision after the comments from amacro 11 so that may be changed again!.) , screaming eagle stage 1 kit with the chrome street cannon exhaust (keeps warranty valid), air flow heated grips, black moustache bars, SigZ front lights/turn signals, sissy bar, rack, backrest, a host of other small detailing. I also put on a set of new Bridgestone H50 tires (my choice over the OEM Michelins). I also took off the reflectors front and back as its not a bicycle! (not a legal requirement here). I have seen a few Sport Glides on You Tube that have been totally "blacked out" as a dealer customisation, and I don't think they look great. The shape of the bike suits the mix of chrome and black, but I do think you can play with the proportion of one vs the other. I am going to invest in further customisation on my bike so I am looking forward to the series. My thoughts for the next stage of my bike project is to black-out the the chrome trim on the headlight so when the fairing is off it has a more integrated front end look, flush petrol caps for the tank, maybe black trim for the tank, black turn signals front and back, SigZ LED rear indicator/brake light, black brake pedal and shifter, and love jugs in black for the engine (when they make them for the new softails). I would like to change the bars, but again I don't like what I have seen from the US dealer customisation's on you tube, so looking for inspiration from your build!!.
Rims, put some Fat Bob rims on it and 6 inch bars, plus 4 inch risers, and dip it in a black with pearl.
Say it with me...Bas sa ni ;)
Bas......as....ni 👍😂
@@Motonewbrider I see what you did there lol
Cheers mate
Club style
T bars, 2 into 1 exhaust (chrome), fuel pack, small/thin air cleaner, and LED lights please!!!
So basically a black RKS? Pretty much! There is a lot of I and MY without doing any actual work, it would be better to watch you try and work a spanner or 2 in my opinion
I know the bags are useful but don't like them. High bars, blacked out with fishtails
Apes, stage1 and completely blacked out for me.
🖖🏽👍🏼😀👋🏽👋🏽
Stage 2, Wedge Fairing, lowers and tour pack, and black out the chrome. Make it into a mini Road Glide Special.
Looking forward to this project air cleaner bevelled inverted series in black by Arlen Ness, Bassani Xhaust in chrome, headlight rim changed, sundowner seat, footboards and black powder coated rims. Job done.
Get a black one, put some flames on it and a few studs on the panniers :) silencer of your choice sir.
Stage 3?!....
Lol...
air ride
Cholo I would like you to do!
Hi will be nice to see what you do. I have 2018 black Sport glide with black Bassani road rage pipes, heavy breather, V&H fp3 and some heated grips. Future mod will be the wheels, either powder coated blue or anodised blue. If you would like to see a heavily modded sport glide check out what Ryohei from Black parade did, for some ideas . czcams.com/video/Fe9SW0yxrfI/video.html
It needs a sidecar.
240 back wheel.
You should learn about counter steering m8 you won’t new bars then👍
Air suspension and custom bags also king and queen seat
D&D 2 into1 and 10" kst outlaw bars
Those pop up comments are annoying
The left side of the road is really messing me up
First
So funny saw the post like 10 minutes after posted I I though could I be 1st? Hahaha 5 comments already!
Al
Fish tail exhaust, 12 inches apes, fat spokes rims
OMG!!! did you say small touring lol I stopped watching from then!!!
I said mid sized tourer. Similar to the switch back it's designed to bridge the gap between softail and touring. Nothing wrong with what I said.
btw I really think you should change those wheels.
🤢🤢🤢
Change the wheels they're horrible. And USD forks don't suit a Harley.
