I don't ever see me getting a full-blown bagger. I don't like the faring blocking my view. I picked the heritage because, for me, it's the perfect do it all convertible.

Doing a stage 2 on a Milwaukee 8 can you get more power in a full build on a twin cam 🤔💪🏾👌🏾🤠

That's horse shit. Another place that the government is over reaching again when is enough?

I continue to enjoy this channel regardless of selling my last H-D 15 years ago. My Zuma is for in town and a VTX1800R for out of town.

My 2 88s have no problem keeping up with 96 and 103 bikes.❤

I live in Daytona and I ride the harleys every year. They ran out of V-rods one year cause they all got wrecked in 3 days, my favorite one was a roadglide, my least favorite was the FXDR, it was uncomfortable, more to the liking of a much younger man. Plenty fast but wobley at very slow speed, of course some of that was me, Im a old guy and I have an 01 springer so thats what Im comparing other Harleys to. It seems the outboard shock models are easier to handle without the 300mm back tire. Then again what do I know.

The Bagger it's a good compromise between a full blown heavier and more $$$$$$ tourer (EG Ultra Classic Limited) and a stripper Softail (Heritage not included). I despise modified H-D's with a passion. (Choppers, Penny-Farthing Stretched Baggers, et al). Nothing's beats working and ordering parts for a stock UNMOLESTED vehicle. JMO. I performed PM's and repaired crashed M8 Big Tourers, Softails and the odd Sportster for close to 2 years when the M8 came out in 2017. Personally where I'm at now in my life, a Tourer it's what fills my needs. Still on the fence about an FJR1300, LeadWing, K1600GTL or RG Limited. My current ride it's a very basic and very spartan 2003 SV1000N. She's been very good to me but my needs have changed. I want every possible bell and whistle that can make highway droning as forgettable and crunchable as possible. I live in the state of FLAT and STR8 roads, A.K.A Florida, there's nothing to make road tripping a memorable event. I try to use as many backroads as possible to keep things different.

Because most todays bike owners are just posers. No riders, no bikers, no wrenchers, ...just sunny sunday posers who need a dealer for a light bulb change.

A performance bagger makes way more sense if you got the bucks .

The copper crazy lol not functional at all junk 😅

What do you think of the 2013 twin cam 103?

FLD! 😁

I really don't get the bagger craze. IMO a motorcycle is an escape from the world (phones, problems ,noise, music etc.) and it needs to be the visceral experience like riding a '66 FLH panshovel.. I cant understand how a loud stereo (so loud in fact that everyone in traffic within 40 feet of you are also hearing quite clearly) is a desired amenity on a motorcycle. I personally would be embarrassed to play loud music from any vehicle, especially a motorcycle. BTW , how much bigger does the alternator have to be just to run that thing? Heck, why don't we put rear wipers and Christmas lights while we're at it? Might as well be the biggest spectacle you can be if that's your goal. Another thought that crosses my mind... The demographic for Harley buyers these days are the convalescent members of the past demographics that bought the cruisers when they were younger. That rebel which still resides in these folks wants the comfort of a big touring bike now, but still wants a custom look hence the uptick in sales when the baggers took on a cooler custom look .This may explain where the craze came from. For me, I am 51 years old and Im still rocking a 95 softail , the last good year as far as Im concerned.

Harley made there Last Motorcycle in1965,they never improved on it.

I have never liked choppers. I always thought they were silly, look at me bikes. Coupled by the fact that anyone riding one cannot keep up with a scooter. A HD bagger is a bike that can be ridden fast, slow, for long hours or short trips. It makes sense.

Harleys are to heavy,to expensive, to slow,to unreliable,to Antiquated. The best Harley is 1200 sporty,best bagger,Goldwing,best rocket Busa Next question.☮

The OCC bikes are a POS!!

I'd honestly say it started in the 90's, the Dresser's as they were once called started slowly with the RK.... Then it went into the Electra glide and Ultras... The police auctions I'd also say lended a hand for the crazy too, they were cheaper and fast

2003 SE Deuce and 2010 Super Glide Custom here...

If you bore out all the way to 107 the spigots will be thin and will crack easier. And you cant bore them again. I just want mine bored and honed just enough to square them up.

a huge waste of money is buying an EFI tuner. Just buy the tune license and have the bike tuned..... skip the hardware (tuner)

I always just figured it was a convenience thing. I don't like the look of windshields, fairings or bags on my bike but after a few months I added a swing arm bag so I could at least carry some small things. To your point though, I'm one of the few guys at bike night on the basically naked cruiser with no bags or a fairing. lol

Motorcycles are such a small portion of transportation in the U.S. the emission impact is tiny. This is more about killing more about killing off the industry...

I have a Road Glide Special. Baggers equal comfort , especially on those long trips, whether all day or cross country.

The older I get the more I like Baggers

great content here gixxer

i have no need for a geezer glide, if i need that much storage i'll drive my truck.

As far as Ultima, it’s not just the amount of negatives but the lack of positive feedback that would turn me away from it. I would definitely choose S&S if funding wasn’t an issue or if it was going on a show or competition bike. Realistically, I would choose the Revtec due to price, warranty and quality of components & craftsmanship put into it.

Touring "bikes" aren't bikes... they're cars with 2 wheels... completely eliminates the whole point of having a motorcycle to begin with

I poop on ur road sofa with surround sound💩

that blue Softail looks like mine

thats why I bought the FXLRST low rider. had it with big fat heavy can't u turn had new road king sold after 2K miles same as my ultra classic. love my FXLRST.

More touring bikes are on the road because the way they have been marketed as a do it all Swiss Army knife type of machine. Add in king of the baggers and now you have everybody and their grandma buying one so they can build their own “sport tourer”. Realistically there’s not that many people that have them that actually put down the miles necessary to need that much storage and long distance comfort items. On top of all that, the way Harley is doing things is that, if you want all the tech, you pretty much gotta go bagger. It’s one thing Indian did right was getting the ride modes, ride command and other tech down from the high dollar touring bikes to the standard cruisers (Chief) and smaller models (Scout). That way, if you want all the bells and whistles but don’t want a 800 plus pound machine, you can still get it on a smaller platform. And that’s nothing against Harley. Their most popular bikes are street glides and road glides, you have to put your money towards what’s selling the most and then trickle that down from there. So it makes sense that Indian brought the tech down to the non touring bikes first as the scout and chief sell more. I don’t see the trend changing until Harley starts offering something similar to the Indian 4 inch ride command on their cruiser line up. Once more tech and true updates start hitting the softail lineup and the sportster lineup branches out and has more to offer than that futuristic look that nobody asked for (looking at you sportster s) you’ll see a resurgence of cruisers because they’ll have what most people want without all the weight and price that a bagger or tourer has. Me personally I’m more into the Roadking and Springfield type bikes as they offer the capability to do long distance rides with fuel capacity, have great suspension, has bags for decent storage capacity but doesn’t have the big fairing out front so you get that classic cruiser feel. and if you want to do long distance and need wind protection all you have to do is throw a quick release windshield on it and boom you're good to go. i use my cardo for music and GPS so i don't need a fairing with a screen and speakers. but thats just me.

Nice, excelent content, very helpful, I look at the catalogs and it all starts to run together.

I dont care about style or popularity. I dont care about fitting in. I commute 90 miles a day 5 days a week to work and ride on my weekends. About 30,000 miles a year. I need a tool. And that tool to work effectively has to be mostly stock. Keep my work shit in my bags. I prefer my heritage for the warm months. My voyager for the cold months. Those fairings dont do you any favors in 110° heat

I did the installation and it worked jut fine. Major drawback. Du to the weight of the led insert and the rubber mounted light bucket on the Breakout, it throws an unbelievably strong flickering light cone on the street. Don’t look at it too long. It will drive you crazy. Any ideas for a remedy? I thought about perhaps bracing the headlight bucket with a piece of hard rubber against the fork cross brace.

My old 98 FXSTC, which I loved, ending up sitting once I got my first FL. There is no comparison. The ride quality, seating position, leg position is way more comfortable. The addition of bags that look correct on the bike is a HUGE plus. Comfort, convenience and functionality are the reasons. There is the Street Glide jones … most of which never had a HD prior to their SG. The short shocks have to kill the ride quality… but I’ve never been on one so who knows. I’ll take my 2021 CVO Ultra Limited. For bar runs now I have a 2005 CVO FatBoy and love it.

It's the cruiser people just switching to baggers in their old age, I think it's more indicative of HD not attracting younger customers. That being said I'd love to have a roadglide ST but I don't have old man money to throw at a $30k bike

meh. I am not sure if you think too much or just like creating content. People just ride and ride what works for them.

Same here. Love my springer softtail cvo. No use for a chopper or a bagger for me. But, each their own.

n order to carry all the stuff people suggest you carry when you ride, you need a bag. But one bag looks stupid. So another bag and tour back can help with groceries or beer hauling.

Never been real sure what a "cruiser" was supposed to be and I've been riding since the mid-60s; steadily since the early 70s. I've had a couple of bikes with hard bags -- and, yer right, I went that route when I was riding a lot of miles over a dozen or so year. The current crop of bikes has several features that are like fingernails on the blackboard to me (apes with a fairing, for instance... and blasting stereos ). I had an EVO Ultra for about 100K miles (only used the radio for the clock!!), and it was a good bike, but candidly -- wasn't as enjoyable to ride as my current TC softail... but to each his own; ride what ya got...

People like carrying things and backpacks on motos looks stupid. Also, the techies with GPS and music and all that. Killed off one of the road kings. You can tour fine with a cruiser but the tires will need a change if going on long trips.for most. Also, a sign of affluence now.to show you bought a factory 50k$ bike vs a $20k

120st is great for the street, it would be powerful enough. Atleast for awhile

One thing I am seeing more is disdain and outright disrespect from the bagger folks (and I say that owning two street glides) against the cruising bike crowd. I can't count how many times I've seen people trash talking dynas and soft tails in the way HD guys used to trash talk Japanese bikes.

Should've came with 120R or atleast a 114R 😂

The chopper guys back in the day, well, just got older n wiser. So that explains the term, Geezer Glide.

51 and still riding my 01 Softail Deuce! Love it to death, and i have done multi-state trips on it. Travel bag on sissy bar, and some throw over bags, and good to go

I don’t see myself buying a touring bike. I love my dyna I was in a certain outlaw lifestyle and they’re still popular in that crowd lol but I love my dyna and fxr. When I wanna go on a long distance (multiple states) I throw bags on it. Can’t beat the t sport style bags I got them on my dyna and fxr. I almost wanted a touring bike but I’m kinda leaning towards a low rider st.

I can’t believe you people are still supporting that over price company even when they turn their backs on you as a customer i would never buy anything from thief’s
