    Hey Guys, I am getting a lot of questions about the passing lamps. The Part number is 68000042. It's the passing lamp bracket off the 2013 and older Street glides.

    Bike sounds good too.
    Sounds bad ass...

    @slayer04031974 Před 2 lety +1

    Possibly my next ride. But H-D needs to keep those blade wheels I've seen or referred as turbine wheels. I would like to know if the 12" meat hooks vs the T bars which are more comfortable and less heavy feeling for shorter riders. I love that sound!! Beautiful bike 💪

  • @charlesblount6858
    @charlesblount6858 Před 5 lety +3

    Absolute beautiful bike. A real home run! Couldn't live with bars or head banging exhausts for very long. Thanks for doing these Matt. It's hard being in the office on a beautiful day, but you make it so much more tolerable. God Bless you and the Laidlaw HD family.

    Hello Matt I’m a 60-year-old senior doing this quarantine I have been watching your videos and went out and bought myself a trike trike with all the bells and whistle‘s if you can do a video for all of us new rookies of how you shift downshift I like the way you drive with one finger on the break I’m going to practice that

  • @17rgs48
    @17rgs48 Před 5 lety +1

    That is a really nice bike. The rear filler lights between the bags and fender are from Ciro 3D, and I believe so are the highway pegs.

  • @johnnyturbo8460
    @johnnyturbo8460 Před 5 lety +1

    Beautiful bike! The only thing i can't get into are the handlebar risers. I'm sure they feel good, but my word, IMO they don't look good at all. I guess sometimes we have to compromise look for comfort every once in awhile

  • @jonathanbridgstock4033
    @jonathanbridgstock4033 Před 5 lety +3

    bike looked good when you were doing the walk around (that tach is awesome). When you took it out, I was like "yeah, pretty good..." then near the Denny's you actually used the throttle and I was like "Heck yeah! that's AWESOME!"
    Adam did an epic job on it. Amazing looking and sounding bike. I wish I could have something similar (plus the beard).

    This RKS is completely badass. I’ve been going back and forth deciding my next bike, but this is it. One thing though. I want slightly taller suspension at the back, but the cost of the Legends stuff is way out of bounds. Can you comment on a good affordable rear suspension option? Actually, a video on softail and touting suspension on a budget would be cool for your channel.

  • @user-bo4ki2zq2m
    @user-bo4ki2zq2m Před 3 lety

    I have noticed all this video when they open up the throttle they loose the view on the camera only seeing the gas tank on the bike, post a camera on the bars so we can see where you are going. We cannot read the speedometer anyway so why try to show the speed on the cam we cannot see the speed anyway.
