I took my brand new 2024 Road Glide 3,415 miles, over 11 days, covering 8 states and thin I did the Iron Butt home. I have some thoughts on this big new change to the Harley-Davidson touring line.

Hey man, good video. I bought my 24 Road Glide about 3 months ago and have 5K on it. Like you, I think Harley nailed it on these 24 touring bikes.

That’s awesome man. Enjoy the ride. I am slowly making a list of the upgrades I plan to do on mine.

Great video brother, I really like the new bike. I also had issues with my apple carplay on mine. It’s been at the HD dealer for 1 week. But it’s still a great improvement from the last models.

There was an update that came out in May that fixed a big issue they were having where the radio muted and you couldn’t get it to play without pulling the fuse. I am pretty sure the issue I talked about in this video is with Cardo.

Yeah I believe the large aftermarket has a little bit to do with HD not putting too much energy into stuff like the seat, stereo and other little things that are swapped out pretty quickly after purchase.

I hear this a lot and just saw it in this video too. The mentality that "it is a stock item, it is what it is" ... No... I do not agree with that. I just paid 30k for a frkin motorcycle, put a fkin decent seat on... like any other non Harley manufacturer. speakers that I can hear... I've met some wonderful people who owns 23+ CVOs and they complain about the seat too. I mean just look at it, it is paper thin. I mean wtf... so what if it is stock? If I buy a new car, and the seat is messed up, I am taking that back. It is not gonna be, it is what it is... and btw, my truck was 24k USD when I bought it, adjusting for the inflation, it is the same price as a two wheel mass produced Harley motorcycle... wtf Harley

I am a long time HD supporter and will always own one but I agree with you. Part of me wonders if they don’t bother putting the time into developing better accessories like seats, speakers, and such due to the large aftermarket. But who knows what goes through the minds of the engineers at HD. Ride safe brother.

@@amberbali8881 i remove the rivets of the seat cover from the front to half way back i pulled the cover back out of the way and with a multitool i cut the plastic off where the seat wraps around the tank going back about 6 inches. i cut about 3/4 to an 1 inch off to nothing back about 6 inches. then pulled the seat cover back over and re pop rivet after pull the cover tight. i hope this makes sense

@@timnevitt2993 Thanks. I have thought about using a older style side cover also. Frame is the same but tank is wider. Did you also have to alter the square hole in the front of the seat to work with the new front mounting at the rear of the tank?

Buy two and store one. Then you can have a parts bike to replace all the components who will eventually fail probably within the first 5 years. HD is nose diving
