    I always said I would never buy a Harley, but after going to Sturgis in 2022 I ended up buying a road glide ST
    Harleys are definitely expensive but it’s something I can see literally keeping forever. We all know how writing is a community but it’s something a little different when you ride a Harley. The reason I say I could keep it forever. There’s aftermarket companies for engines and transmissions. I don’t know everything but I can’t think of another company for other manufactures where you can swap engines. It definitely is the Lego or Jeep of the motorcycle world.
    But he did forget to mention one thing sound systems .

    Strangely, as the proud owner of a 2021 Sportster S, with really limited parts available ATM, the cheapest and best modification was a 40mm up and 25mm back bar riser. The next essential is the HD screen as it comes, to take the wind off the chest. I did it arse about and got the seat first but that just held me in and did not change the rider triangle. The great thing is, you can pretty much reset your rider triangle because the bike is not built to be specifically one thing. You don't buy the perfect bike, you buy the bike and make it perfect.

    • @LyonMAN99

      2022 Sportster S checking in. Hardly any aftermarket support… definitely already considered a bar riser, seat, and exhaust. Haven’t been able to find much.

    • @MrEiniweini
      @MrEiniweini Před rokem

      @@LyonMAN99 There is a bar riser for it on Ebay. Perfect fit and finish. 40mm up and 25mm back. I have had it on for three months now (only about $40). The Corbin Smuggler Gunslinger seat is excellent as a solo saddle or the Smuggler Gambler if you want a passenger. Corbin also has a tail tidy that ties in well with the seat. You are right about the pipes for the moment though. I think TBR is the only one with a full system but it is unshielded. I can wait. I finish work at midnight so it will keep the neighbours happy.

    I've got an 08 fatbob, from a dynabro you're definitely right about the stock suspension it really leaves something to be desired for a lot of people starting out on one wouldn't recommend changing the suspension right off the rip though. Make sure you have the right tire pressure and tweak your suspension until you find a sweet spot before you make that choice also dropping 2-400 on an aftermarket seat definitely goes a long way before 11-1500 for a new suspension setup. Also a nice cheap upgrade is trash your stock bar riser bushings and get some nice ones.

  • @crazyeyez1502

    One thing i was told when i got my Sportster, is if you get a high flow intake and high flow exhaust, you definitely need a tune. HD tunes them lean as hell from the factory to get their mpg ratings. A bone stick bike would even benefit from a tune.

    While I love my 22 ultra limited I agree with pretty much all of this. I just put the stage one on this winter. Plan to get a Corbin seat and some taller bars just to get my hands out of my lap. Definitely a lot of room to improve on this $33k bike which imo makes it way over priced but still a sick bike. It was hard to take my 22 z900 to work with the harley sitting there last year with all its comfort and luggage space

    • @rickosborne6521
      @rickosborne6521 Před rokem +1

      Depends on the bike and the rider. Taller riders will benefit from higher bars (reasonably higher, not the ones where you're literally hanging from them) that keep the grips more in line with the shoulders. On long rides, low handlebars, like are common on most harley touring bikes, will make your shoulders hurt like crazy, but raising them up even a few inches can make all the difference.
