Compliments!There's tons of guys out there doing reviews but none so enthusiastically. Long story short, I'm 51 years old, In my 20's I had 3 bikes, Harley Shovel, Triumph Bonnie and an unmentionable. After a serious accident I hadn't been on a bike for 25 years. I owe a great deal to you because of that enthusiasm and love of riding that I'm back on a bike again...a XL1200 CB Custom. So keep it up you're even inspiring us old guys!!!

Enjoyable review, as usual. Your enthusiasm is contagious. I've never really considered a Harley, but one's definitely on the card's. I'm always looking out for that little pub near the 'chicane' on your test route. Maybe pop in for half a shandy sometime. 😉

Fantastic review as usual! I have the same exact bike (although 2016) and enjoy it very much. I've nicknamed it "The General". The aesthetics and performance as a cruiser are spot on. I am also blessed to have a Hard Candy Big Red Flake 2013 HD Dyna Street Bob ("The Redhead") and a Black 2012 HD Sportster Nightster ("The Black Knight") as well. The rides all have different personalities for the type of ride I'm intending to have for the day. HD have it dialed in right for me. As they say, "Four wheels move the body, two wheels moves the soul." Many thx for the great vids!

Trash bin those floorboards and redo the foot controls and you've got yourself a very nice handling ride. I do wish that H.D. would go to the 18 x 5.5" rims. That would bring it up and then you can rip the corners without scraping $ off the bike. As always a great cruise about. Can't get out to ride much anymore but these videos help so much. Thank you.

I bought it back in November of last year and cannot find the luggage rack and I'm about to go on a trip, I would love to have it. It's part number 54298-11. Really would like to know as soon as possible. Again, thanks for the awesome reviews!
