Great video. I’be been debating on adjusting my bars but didn’t want to deal with the headache. After seeing this simple method I’m definitely going to try different positions. Thanks.
Bought a stock 15 RGS that fit me perfectly at 6’1” I must of lucked out because the stock bars fit me perfectly in the factory position 7 years later. Glad you’re back👍
Great help. Truly appreciate it. New to doing my own work … and your video was straight forward without a lot of fluff. I appreciate that
Thank you for your video!
Recently had 10” mini apes installed by dealer…after riding for a few miles i realized i need bars adjusted.
Did not want to make arrangement with dealer for adjustment.
You made my day with this easy video!
Great to hear!
Thanks a million worked like a charm best video
great videos thank's, can we see one on steering bearing adjustment nobody has the adjustment for 2021 new style
GREAT Video. Thank you!
Thanks so much. You definitely simplified that process
Good information thanks for sharing
That is awesome, very good tip and saved me a bunch of time. Thank You
Great Tip Awesome!!
Yes indeed. Big Help. Thanks!
That was helpful thanks. Wondering if that simple for my ‘18 Tri glide? Stay safe.
Unbelievable timing.... I had been thinking I was going to adjust my bars forward a little bit. Honestly I wasn't concerned about how or the whatevers because I've changed bars a few times. After seeing your video I was 👍 yes I am liking this.... Took me maybe 10 minutes.
Thanks....
Great to hear!
Thanks for the Tip
Excellent thank you
Thanks 👍🏻
Great quick tip 👍🏻 and thanks
Iv used many of your videos. 14 street glide. Ca.
Thanks for showing this easy process after all it’s not rocket science
Thank you, this was extremely helpful…
Glad it was helpful!
Went on a 320 mile ride after the adjustment…. No pain or discomfort…. Thanks again
many thanks
Can you tell me what model of bars those are? Also this should be identical for a 2022 Electraglide standard?
Great video thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
Thank you,
How are you liking the 12" versus the 10" you had on your 2015? I am asking, as I am thinking about taking the 10" off and swapping out for 12 inch on my 2014 StreetGlide Special.
p.s. great tip. I have done that when switching my bars in the past. And you are correct you do not want that knurl wearing out the softer metal.
Not sure I like either one better. They are different for sure. The 10s seemed to give tighter control when turning slow like parking lots or U-Turns. The 12s feel better for long rides for my hand level. The 10s though keep my hands behind the fairing which keeps them warmer for winter riding. Pros and Cons for both.
@@RideitWrenchit absolutely correct about the higher bars and turning I have the 12” KST bars , they sure are comfortable for me
Just switched to meat hook 12s on my 2015 sgs and absolutely love them would never go back to stock and I'm only 5'11
I torqued mine to 20 after a bar install and they still seem loose...any suggestions?
Thanks
My TPMS sensors are all of a suden reading 340 and 280 instead of 36 psi and 40 psi looks like somehow they are reading in KPa do you know if you can change between PSI and KPA ? I see nothing on line or in my owners manual! Thanks
From the home screen click "Setup" (gear icon). Scroll to "Metric Units". Tap that and it will change to "English Units". then go to the info screen for tire pressure and it will now read in PSI.
@@RideitWrenchit thank you I figured it out I have no infotainment just speedo screen I appreciate you help!!
I have a 21 SGS, Once you open up panel you can see the bolts but no direct line to apply wrench to remove them, clearly the fairing has to be pulled away.
That's why you use the ball end Allen wrench, it allows you to get on those bolts at an angle without pulling the fairing away.
We all don't have a new bike can't afford thanks for 22 information good luck
Thanx
No problem!
👍✌️
I ran over some railroad tracks and they slightly came down on me. I was headed str8 to the HD shop but decided to look it up on CZcams and wallah!!
Same thing happened to me on my 2012 FLHX, crossed some railroad tracks that were pretty rough and the bars came down. Glad the video saved you some $$,
Isn’t a road glide a touring bike?
The "ridges" are actually calle "Knurls", a common engineering term
Is it the same for 2017
Yes
@@RideitWrenchit thank you very much gonna do it it's weird someboddy cut me off when I hit the brakes must of torked on my handlebars they came down a lil weird
Glad your ok! Sounds like the bars might not have been torqued to spec to begin with if they moved on you during a hard decel.
Great video if you have a brand new bike. Other than that...not so much.
HD POS waste of time sell it
