@@tylerbates8198 Stock suspension leaves a lot to be desired. Handling and ride quality are subpar. Actually pretty bad when you take into account the cost of these models. Upgrading suspension is a game changer. Much more comfort for long days on the road. Handles much better over all types of road conditions. More planted on the road. Front end dive all but eliminated when breaking. Hope this helps. Take care.
16 SG build also in vivid black 👍 Built as a performance bagger from day one (My Dyna LRS also built the same). My favorite mods in no ranking order... 1)Suspension with 14" length Ohlins 044 shocks and GP Suspension 25mm cartridges in front. 2)Brakes with big rotor kits and 6 piston calipers front and rear. 3)Engine with a full S&S high compression crate 124 motor with TTS and all supporting mods. 4)Chassis with 2 True Tracks and Alloy Art braces with Polyurethane motor mounts to lose the rubber band in the middle of the bike. 5)Ergos with 14" T bars (also running coffin handguards), heated grips and JP customs seat. 6)Wheels with an upgrade to newer Talons with a 18" rear and 19" front combo and ditching the awful 16" rear setup. 7)Lighting with JW Speaker LED headlamp with CD LED stoplamps and signals. 8)General controls with floorboards, levers, etc. Absolute ripper in the mountains and straightway tourer. I don't even compare it to a HD anymore.. I compare it to a real Sport Tourer (cough, Harley ST, Electraglide, cough, LOL, cough) like a FJR.... Could care less about tunes... Actually if I could do it again I'd of built a vivid black RoadKing TC, thrown a FXRT fairing and T bars on as my base to build on. Lighter build at the end and not a bike everyone else has. 👍
I had a 2016 SGS with all the upgrades I wanted. Then I bought a 2022 SGS and moved the upgrades over to it. Less the headers and pipes, added 50 cal. Tabs, and heated grips. Got a great deal from McGrath Harley-Davidson in Dubuque, Iowa. I am happy.
Dan installed legend’s front and rear on my SGS at 50k. Pulling my trailer through the hills of West Virginia, nana told me to slow down🤭. Big ole barge handles excellent when loaded and/or running light. Excellent adjustability. I made a few different canned settings. Really easy to change based on the load. I highly recommend getting the longer rear shocks. That extra little bit of travel makes a big difference. Anyhow, any setup is expensive, your dime your choice, but it would be nice to see something automated that you can adjust from the dash. $$$
Really like your lighting upgrades! Each time I consider returning to a Street Glide the first item on my list has always been the lighting. Still cannot fathom apes
Great overview of your upgrades Mike. I put Legends on the rear of my Street Glide Special. Huge upgrade. My next upgrade will be the front suspension. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸
I just bought a 2007 FLHX and I definitely want to do all of these upgrades over time aside from paint. The color has really grown on me since getting it. One thing I eventually want to which will by far be the biggest upgrade will be putting in a 124” S&S motor kit. That will give all the power I need and want for this bike. It has low mileage for its model year and I have no intention of trading it in any time soon.
Great video! Very nice and thought out upgrades. That pinstriping on the hand guards is top notch… and the custom paint is absolutely stunning. Very nice bike my friend. Ride on brother ❤
My bike is a 2014 Street Glide with a 103 Truck mate makes an awesome headlight $200.00 A breather, Vance & Hines pipes,cams and a tune by Scheffer performance in Evansville Indiana it is a great ride
Such a ranking is surely always quite individual. My own would be: 1 Klock Werks wind shield, 2 exhaust sound (KessTech or Jeckyll & Hide slip ons) , 3 individual styled comfort seat, 4 extra LED lighting, 5 Metzeler tyres, 6 handle bar, 7 upgrade of the audio system, 8 ensure Apple CarPlay working, 9 floorboards and pedals, 10 black out all screws and other chrome parts.
I have considered it but my stage 1 Dyno tune is very peppy. I rode a 107 stage 2 with cams and it was not significantly different to me over by stage 1. Note I’m running a race tuner not some map download.
I have a 2021 SGS, my upgrades are Legend suspension front and rear, Fat tire kit, with wrap fender Lighting Stretched tank Sorrento seat 12 “ bars Side panels, stretched Sound, hogworks
I right at 5'9" and the 5" klock Werks puts the Air right above my eyebrows so I don't feel like I get any buffeting. I have not had that issue with the stock linkage.
Just come across your channel. Fantastic Breakdown mate. Did you do the lighting yourself? If so, did you video it. For those who like to try things themselves. Cheers.
Problem is everyone wants something different and secondly certain things like handlebars, exhaust, etc... are regulated. That's why dealers have to do those upgrades after Harley sells the bike to the dealership.
That’s a lot of power for stage 1 without changing cams! I’m getting same numbers w woods 222 cams sage 2, w true duals and I rake and power vision. I believe the guy who tuned my bike did not do a good job.
Thanks, He doesn’t use a power Vision or anything like that he use techno research and actually reprograms the ecm using a Dyno. My numbers are good but he gets them consistently.
My radio quit sending sound to the speakers for some reason, all stock on a 2012. Interface has power and appears working normally. Was playing music through phone AUX, then mid way to work, no sound. Only had the bike a few weeks, looking to upgrade so that’s my next thing I guess
@@RidingintheOzarks I think it must be an internal issue with the head unit after troubleshooting can’t find any burnt fuses or disconnected/pinched wires. Good power to unit and all buttons functioning, just no sound out of speakers. I was looking to upgrade, so just trying to find what fits my budget. Aquatic AV and Rockford systems I was looking at. Seems for ease of installation they’d be the ones, but haven’t pulled trigger yet. Lots of deals right now for Vets Day too.
@@moneauxje I’m huge fan of sinister sound, ran there speakers and amp setup for 5 seasons/45k miles, in terrible thunderstorms and no issues… if you ask for a quote tell them I sent you.
Prices vary considerably if you do work yourself, go thru a dealership or an independent shop but I could explain my route and how much it cost me...Thanks!
That's all some pretty nice upgrades that you have done to your Street Glide Mike, I think my favorite one that you did was the paint scheme on the fairing brother💯👊🏽😎
Thanks Mike we have to make these bikes our own , KST 16”bars a Corbin Solo Tour Seat custom made with both back rest and a LRS windshield plus a 131 engine upgrade and the stepped header by Fuel Moto with 4” Reinhart DBX mufflers are my upgrades , on my 2019 CVO Street Glide
Legend suspension front and rear on my Road King Special. Hands down the best upgrade I've ever done to any Harley. Take care.
What were some of the differences you’ve noticed. Why did you feel like you needed aftermarket

That explains why she runs so good!
@@RidingintheOzarks definitely

Great tips, the lighting tip helped. Cleared a lot of diffrent question about product.
Thanks for watching, glad you found it useful.

I had the HD premium front suspension parts installed. This setup is very good, and isn't as expensive as all the other front ends suspensions.

Thanks for the shout out Mike, can't wait to do April's bike soon
Legend suspension made me ask why I didn’t do it years ago. Wish I did it years ago, they’ll blow your mind !
My bike is a 2014 Street Glide with a 103 Truck mate makes an awesome headlight $200.00 A breather, Vance & Hines pipes,cams and a tune by Scheffer performance in Evansville Indiana it is a great ride
5:30 - I can relate. I put Memphis Shades handguards on my bars and WOW!!! What a difference they make!!!!
Yeah I am going to leave them for now, maybe the look will grow on me...
Beautiful paint job. It’s even better that it has meaning behind it.
i bought the headlight for my street glide and love it. thanks, mike, for your reviews
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
The custom airbrush paint looks amazing. Thanks for breaking up your video into chapters .. makes it real easy to jump between sections.
Thanks for watching!
loved the video and loved the bike man. Thanks for sharing and stay safe out there.
Thank you
I like the handlebars and seat the best. Good job presenting this Mike.
He's such a pro guy
😂 Damn, you plugged everyone in.. was like a commercial 😮

Good video & great upgrades. The airbrush work on your bike looks incredible.
Thanks! I wish I had that kind of talent!
Very nice bike! I’m a big fan of those apes and paint! Thanks mike!
Thanks for watching!
Solid video man. I've done all of this on my 17 SGS, to include Fox springs in the front and 13" Fox ifp-qsr rears.
Thanks!
Mike I'm learning from you 💯🤟
I've never heard you before but you're one cool dude.
Thanks, hope you find other content you like on the channel
The big modification you and everyone needs, after the obvious listed in the video, is the cam/cam chest. Completely transforms the bike.
I have considered it but my stage 1 Dyno tune is very peppy. I rode a 107 stage 2 with cams and it was not significantly different to me over by stage 1. Note I’m running a race tuner not some map download.
Ohlins rocks
Dude I really like the open tombstone effin wow man thought schwew
Legend Revo-A are amazing on my ultra classic...no regrets. Buy once cry once.
I hear good things about Legends Revo...
👍
my 2019 street glide rear shocks were absolutely atrocious I had to upgrade them the stock ones were just miserable to ride with
When you had the airbrush work done do they clearcoat over it or just airbrush and done?
He put a clear coat on it.
I’m really interested in the Geezer Glide fork cartridges that they offer.
I already know what I am going with but I had not heard of these... Thanks!
How does this compare to the sunpie anyone try both
I have a 2021 SGS, my upgrades are
Legend suspension front and rear,
Fat tire kit, with wrap fender
Lighting
Stretched tank
Sorrento seat
12 “ bars
Side panels, stretched
Sound, hogworks
Nice list
Was the Klock Werks a 5'' and not so much buffeting anymore? You forgot to mention the stock shift linkage can pop off and needs to be replaced.
I right at 5'9" and the 5" klock Werks puts the Air right above my eyebrows so I don't feel like I get any buffeting. I have not had that issue with the stock linkage.
@@RidingintheOzarks Yes but the idea is to replace the stock linkage BEFORE it pops apart.
Where did you get your vent light in the fairing?
Custom Dynamics, I have a video on the install
Just come across your channel. Fantastic Breakdown mate. Did you do the lighting yourself? If so, did you video it. For those who like to try things themselves. Cheers.
Most of it was before I started a channel but I have videos on the headlight and vent light. I did do it all myself
I put Custom Dynamics lights up front and in back on my Road King. Harley's stock lights had to go.
I love my custom dynamics lights, getting ready to add something else to it.
Holy Moly! I did something right!
The paint on fairing everyone knows your bike but you got some good numbers out of the tune so be hard to pick
Stage I and suspension.
As much as a harley costs it should come the way you want it !

Ear plugs takes out wind noise and makes the radio clear without having to ride with the obnoxiously loud volume setting
How tall was the clock works windshield
6.5 is what I’m running
Dude the sundowner is the best try a backrest with it
I’m using a tail bag as a backrest on way to Sturgis this weekend
When we going 90...oh...umm 80...😂😂😂
The best upgrade I did to enhance touring capability was to trade my 2021 Street Glide in for a 2023 Honda GoldWing.
Mustang all the way

Just put that headlight on my 2012 from Amazon the DOT/ Truckmall I believe is name brand. About $89
Mine is different brand but truckmall is good too
