    People that knock backrests either don't travel long distance and/or have never ridden with one. Game changer for touring

  • @ssgveight
    @ssgveight Před 2 měsíci

    Dude!!! Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something about the road glide I didn’t know existed.
    The button on the left switch housing to turn on accessory mode is badass.
    You’re not kidding about the custom A settings being faster. I set mine up like that recently and if it wasn’t for my backrest, my bike might have left me behind when I hit the throttle.
    Blackjack looks awesome with the backrest btw. I ride with my backrest on everywhere. Nothing like kicking back when I go on a long ride or even just the grocery store.
    Love the videos. Keep em coming
