Nice review keep up the good work Ty From Tennessee
@@MarcusTurner-db5qv Thank you so very much!
It’s definitely worth it if you intend to use it. Those who do it thinking they’ll get all their money back when they sell it are in for a disappointment. That looks wicked BTW! 🤘🏻
Thanks man. You are so right. I’ll never see a cent of that money when I sell or trade. I’m ok with that. I appreciate your time very much!!
100% agree! I always think if it brings you enjoyment to do it, do it.
Oh yeah, you have an awesome looking dog!
@@bansheesfather3778 Thank you very much. He's a good boy!
any upgrade is worth it I think. We all mod our bikes to our riding styles and liking. The color match you did looks awesome.
Thanks man. I think it’s a nice touch and I’m really digging so far. I appreciate your time!
That looks amazing!! Very nice. Suspension is so important. I didn’t change the suspension on my Harley but I did upgrade to a Road Master. The ride is so much better and no need to change it.
Thank you so very much! I think it looks fantastic and I can't wait for a long road trip! I appreciate your time today!
Hi Ty, Yes upgrading your bike makes it a reflection of you and your ride. I spent a lot of cash on my 07 Street Glide and I enjoy every mile and minute on it. Cheers Dave
That's right! All that matters is that you are happy with your bike. Thank you so very much for watching!
I really enjoy the Full Legends suspension system on my RGS. Color matching the canisters is a nice touch. Ride safe and enjoy. ✌️👍👊
Thanks man. Looking forward to many miles on the road. I appreciate your time very much!!
We have full Legends suspension on both our TriGlide and Freewheeler. They are a wonderful product and always recommend when folks want to improve the ride on their trikes.
That's awesome! I had Legends on my previous Harley and it was such a dramatic improvement. Thank you for watching! I appreciate your time today!
No upgrades are a waste of time or money if they make your riding experience better and/or you happier. I just finished the 2024 upgrades to the Goldwing and I'm very glad for what I did 😎
You're going to love the new suspension, its going to elevate everything about the bike... and good call on the paint match 👍.
I think that same way. If it makes you happier...why not? Life is short! Glad you are loving the Wing! Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate your time very much!
Paint matched components look awesome.
Thank you very much! I think it turned out fantastic! Have a great day and thank you for watching!
Dixon! 🐶 Bike looks amazing my friend
He's such a good boy, but some of those bikes were freaking him out! Thanks buddy!!
Nice touch with the colour match 👌
Thank you very much! In the sunlight it really pops! I appreciate your time today!
Ty, I always have upgraded all my bikes, mostly performance and suspension and of course some nice accents and lighting with a good touch not too gaudy. Are some of the upgrades necessary Yes all No, but this is the way I like my bikes and that’s all that matters. Ride Safe Ride Free
"This is the way I like my bikes" - That is fantastic sir. Great perspective. Thank you so very much for watching!
That looks amazing. I’ve been tossing around that very idea with geezer engineerings shocks with reservoirs. I’ve got a 22 reef blue rg that I’ve been putting red accents on. I wanted to have the reservoirs painted red as another accent. I love it. Good call
Thank you sir! You should do it. It really adds a nice look to the bike for sure. Thank you so much for watching!
Looks good Ty 👍👍
Thank you Jim! I hope you are doing well sir...
Suspension upgrade is a must, especially if you ever ride 2 up! The paint to match looks awesome brother!!
I 100% agree! I had Legends in my previous Street Glide and it was such a smooth ride. Looking forward to putting down some miles now that I have this bike dialed in. Thank you so very much for watching!
Upgrades are definitely worth it IMO. Especially when you have the opportunity for anything color-matched!
Thanks Toby! So far I really love this upgrade. It looks fantastic and the paint is matched perfectly as far as I can tell. Have a great day friend!
@@TyFromTennessee You're welcome!!! And of course, this means we must see a six months or one year later review of the suspension. 😉Ride safe!
Looks AWESOME!!!!
Thanks Ray! Much appreciated and I hope you had a fantastic weekend!
Always great content sir
Thank you so very much! I appreciate your time sir!
That looks awesome color matched . Great red on your bike . I have the Ohlins on my 23 CVO . Upgrades arent a waste if you plan on keeping your bike for a while . I traded in my 23 RGST for a new 121 VVT CVO RG . Yeah i lost some cash but got the CVO out the door 6k under MSRP . Ill post a vid soon . Great vids Ty
Wow! Congratulations on your new bike. I absolutely love that motorcycle!! I can’t wait to see it man! Thank you for watching!!
Looks awesome!
Thank you sir. I appreciate that very much!
Ty From Tennessee, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!
Thank you very much! I appreciate your time so very much!
That's a great pup. Bike looks good with the color matched reservoirs.
Thank you so very much. Dixxon is a very good boy. 😀
Brother Gby, nice touch 💯% unique...
Thank you! I appreciate your time very much. So far I love it!!
I think the custom up grades are great to make the bike yours, as long as one understands that the cost is not returned if you sell or trade.
Exactly! I'll never see a dime of that money back when I trade or sell, but it's such a fun process making it your own. Thanks Bob! Love that new Glide of yours!
@@TyFromTennessee thank you.
Very nice upgrade. You appear to be quite the patient dude! Great idea!
Hey Terry! I try to be. White Lightning has always been very good to me so I know some of the issues were out of their control. Thank you for watching and I hope you have a great day!
another good video Ty. I won't say a waste of money being if it's something you like or want then is it a waste of money whether its for looks or actual functionality. I know for my bike finding ways to customize it is a bit harder because not many options out there for trikes really still.. They are starting to get more options but still nowhere near as much as what you can find for 2s. Bike looking good.
Thank you very much! Yeah, I think it turned out really nice and looks sharp! I appreciate your time and it was great seeing you this weekend. Talk to you soon!
Looks good. That suspension is gonna rock. To me suspension work is never a waste of money. Having the paint done makes it classy and has An OEM look.
Yeah man. I can't for a week long trip to Kentucky on this bike. Let's gooooo!
Great Perfect nice Machine 😍
Greetings from Germany 🤘🏻
Thank you sir. I appreciate your time very much!
Ty looks really good my brother.
Thanks buddy! I appreciate that very much!
Very nice. Just put 4k miles on my 2020 street Glide with stock suspension. I don't mind. But I am absolutely sure that suspension upgrade would be awesome 💯. Thank you for sharing
I hope you had a blast on your trip and you had a great time riding. I appreciate your time and thank you for watching!
@@TyFromTennessee not sure I guess one could have a bad motorcycle trip¿ Almost did get bad there once. Didn't crash. So ya, absolutely awesome 💯
ty i still think you need a razor tour pak...mine looks great
I bet you're right! An Heirloom Red tour pak is most certainly a nice touch. Thank you so much for watching!
We all spend our money on something that someone will think is stupid…👍🏻
hahaha! Yes, you are absolutely right! Thank you very much for watching. I appreciate your time!
Just gonna be dope
You know that’s right!!
Who cares what anyone else thinks. I do want I want as far as accessories. As long as you like that’s all that matters. By the way it looks nice.
Yes sir. I like the way you think for sure. Thank you so much for watching!
So is upgrading worth the money? I spent $1000.00 on rear shocks I wish I had back. I tell everyone if you upgrade suspension get Progressive for $300.00 does the same. But you right make it your own. Remember my Moto build sell buy new repeat. Can’t wait to see your bike in person. Very nice job. Ride Safe,
Thank you sir. Really looking forward to getting this bike out on the road on the way to Kentucky. See you soon!
haha "Are custom upgrades a waste of time and money?"
Yes.
But, hey, who cares... its so much fun! Have fun with your money!
marcus
hahaha! You're so right! Might as well spend it while I can! Thanks Marcus and I hope you have a great day!
The bike color is awesome! What color is it?
Thank you! Harley calls it Heirloom Red. The local painter did the best he could to match it and it is spot on. Looks awesome in the sunlight! Thank you very much for watching!
Dude you do not need resovoirs on a Harley Road Glide reservoirs are for shock oil cooling plus it looks funky... Dirt bikes absolutely massive rough terrain i raced dirt bikes for 30 years at a professional level and in your case waste of time and money i have Legends on my Road Glide Special for and rear no res the shocks are outstanding!! And i saved$500
Thank you for your feedback! So far I'm very happy with how the bike handles with the new suspension. I'm really looking forward to my next out of town ride. Thank you very much for watching!
Did you try putting the King HD Detachables Two Up rack on?
For sure and it works fantastic! The luggage rack clamps right on and doesn't touch the canisters at all. I'm really looking forward to my Kentucky road trip soon! Thank you for watching!
Even the title to your video answers the question you are asking. Waste of time and money? Not if it is an “upgrade”. Any upgrade is worth it as long as that upgrade is part of the owner’s vision and accomplishes what they hoped it would accomplish. Most of my upgrades help me with comfort on long trips or safety like lights so I am more visible at night. I do have a little extra power too. That’s all worth it to me.
Yes sir. I like the way you think very much. I 100% agree with you. Thank you so very much for watching today!
Was gone at Dealership
Hey there sir. What do you mean? Did I miss you there or something?
Dude, that looks SLICK! Is it a waste of time and money? Sure... for me. Did it make YOU happy? That's all that matters - and all that makes it worthwhile.
Thanks John! Yes sir, I think it really adds such a neat look to the bike. So far I am very happy. Thanks for watching friend!
Well built mine at health and working in coal mine with dad me him dude but i think if your going to use them not worth the money some is and some are
I appreciate your feedback very much! So far, it's making the ride very comfortable. Thank you for watching!
Waste of time & money?!Life’s is so short. If the resources are there. Why ask why? Just do it! Look back as you walk away or just before you turn off the garage light after a great ride and love what you ride and love what you see. What was your question? 😂
hahaha! I get it. I'm easily distracted too. Have a great day and thank you for watching!
@@TyFromTennessee
It easily happens when like what you see.
Are Custom Motorcycle Upgrades a Waste of Time and Money? well now that's a loaded question, to those of us who own motorcycles we have mostly 3 categories where we all tend to spend our hard earned money, Comfort, Performance, & Looks for some its one or two but for most its all 3, and we see it as, no its not a waste, and to those who criticize us for spending our hard earned money foolishly....shut the hell up its our money and our bikes!!!! 🤣🤣
Yeah man. That is exactly right! So far, I'm really impressed with this project. It looks so awesome in the sunshine! Thank you very much for watching and it was great to see you this weekend!
It’s only worth the cost if you believe it is so. I have spent large amounts on accessories for my Harley because I felt it was what I wanted. It’s a personal preference.
Yes sir indeed. I agree with you all the way. Thank you very much for watching!
