Hi Todd I will be following but at 5’3 don’t believe I need to do all that for my bike, I recently been on a 1200 miles trip and wasn’t to bad

This is a sweet setup. Thanks for sharing ❤

I love that Honda 400/4 Supersport!! I had one in college I put 70,000 miles on it! Gave it to a dealer/collector in Plattsburgh, NY in 1994! Great bke for any road, trail, path, beach!!! lol

You still have to paint it after you put the glue and canvas on it.the paint makes it waterproof. You sand it and use body fill for imperfections

I´ve got an Electra Glide (FLHS, similar to Road King) and a Sport Glide from 2019. On the Sport Glide I mounted a Memphis Shade Windshield, a King-Topcase, Floorboards from a Fat Boy and a Saddlemen Sat (with backrest). So I have a good comparison between these bikes as I ride both quite often. The old Electra Glide feels much heavier and less agile than the Sport Glide (although only 30 or 40 kg more). The chassis is not as good (maybe because she´s much older) and the maneuverability of the Sport Glide is much easier. Although I never felt like having problems to handle the old Electra there is a big difference between these bikes. Ok, when you ride long distances for many days the Electra seems to be still the better choice, but I think the Sport Glide will take over this purpose soon. In two weeks I take her for one week tour through the Alps. We´ll see if she can beat the Electra. :) And: you can dismount the windshield and the cases within a few minutes and have a pure good looking Softail cruiser.

nice this is what i have been kind looking to do.

I just moved to the Adirondacks. Last month a black bear popped out of the bushes 20 ft in front of me on the road alongside my property. I started walking back home and singing loudly but the sumofabitch followed me for around a minute until I escalated my singing to shouting. He finally gave a grunt & ran off into the woods. I have never been more terrified I was going to die in my life.

Great video Probably grabbing this for my 11 year old daughter

Those pullback risers are a terrible idea. They change the fulcrum of the steering head axis. It's like steering with a "boat tiller" using handlebars. The "swing" is off. A better choice for greatly improved control and comfort would be low rise BuckHorn bars 28" wide and 6" rise should just about do it. These offer comfort, control and balance. The Hoy Grail for Harley Riders. Try them. Your wrists will thank you.

Backing plates would improve this if you're really concerned about safety.

This a boatload of work. Will work on my KLR. Had a Harley

I just got this bag from Amazon and was wondering about those 4 side straps!! Thank you very much for this video! As a Scuba diver I am used to smaller waterproof dry bags! This is gonna be great for my Trike and will replace 1, maybe 2 bags. The carry handle AND shoulder strap option are great.

You will find all very similar mods on my KLX, rack & pegs identical. No windshield though. Very nice add 👍 Just not handy for single track woods, riding. Especially when you flop over in mud holes as much as I do.

I find your videos incredibly helpful. Keep sharing your knowledge!

So that sprayer works ok on that little tractor? I have a Massey Ferguson 1725M and am looking for a small sprayer. I don't want a 25 gallon sprayer because I have several food plots too and don't want to spend time going back and forth refilling.

Should have used Nylock nut so they do not fall off.

I just got a 2023 klx 300r used. Dude didn’t use it all that much I can really tell. But he left it pretty low on oil by the time I got it. He had it since august 2023. I’m changing the oil filter, draining and filling motor oil. Then I plan on lubing up everything the Manual says. Should I still get it looked at at my local dealership?

Good advice,!

What was that white tank in the back next to the battery

Thanks for your information

Very nice

Yeah even mechanics from the jeep dealership don't know they have cabin air filters... i have the check ups to prove it....

I'm curious to know if the fairing came painted, or did you have that done? I may have missed that in the video. This is a much simpler fairing to install as opposed to the FXR style ones, a lot less expensive too.

Funny I just came in the house from installing my batwing I went with the 12" shield this is what I used on my sportglide for single relocation. 2pcs Motorcycle Headlight Mount Bracket Spot Fog Holder 36-60mm Fork Mount Clamp....ebay

I have the 2024 and the tool bag front bolts have nuts that drop in between the upper and lower fender…would have been nice with threaded inserts instead

can someome please tell me what the damn 1inch or more rubber round nipple thing is under my 2013 harley 48? It sits under but close to side of chassis and lift always get in the way if it or it gets it way of the lift I should say

Lag bolts wont last more than a year. I used lags on my trailer and a year later removed it and the bolts were all loose and not biting the wood.

That looks awesome Todd, really like it. My only question is that it looks like the front turn signals are obstructed

What about front signals? I'm sure you'll think of something for them too 🙂

Real nice job and I'm about to start a very similar build in the next 2 weeks. Did you layout the post spacing to be 10x20 or is it 10x20 to outside of girts? Not that it matters, was just curious. Most pole barn suppliers size the building to the girts. Thanks!

To anyone trying to install this kit on low rider st..... I struggled with it untill I realized the notch needs to point UP, instead of down which is mentioned accordingly to the instruction manual in this video. No where in the instructions is this mentioned and I have not found any source of confirmation, its just a tip and it worked for me.

So question here. Rather than gambling on an expensive aftermarket seat, wouldn't it be better to find an excellent local upholsterer who can modify the stock seat, measure, cut, add, shape, add gel inserts, etc, and get a seat tailored to your touchie?

Where is that tall windsheild from? Ive never seem one that tall for an FLSB.

Have a new truck and a new 17' kayak and in need of bed rack. These look really nice but my concern is with the C-clamps leaving some of sort of impression or permanent marks on the truck bed. Have you had the rack off? Did it leave any noticeable marks?

Todd I can’t thank you enough for doing this video my better half has been on me about this and like you been trying find a video that goes into more detail from a stock seat to the explorer seat. One question I do have is does your better half ride with you because my concern is does or could the lumbar pad affect a passenger as far as comfort goes in your opinion. Thank you for all your input on this and other videos as well.

very nice rack, who makes those? Thanks

Do you think it fits on a KLX250 from 2009? I think thye are nearly th same bikes....

Any bike with bags and windshield is a bike you can tour on. It amazes me that people need the latest most comfortable shit but then again I consider my Springer an adventure bike.

good stuff mane

I’m 6’ 250 lbs and getting the taller mini apes and riser was a night and day difference. I was getting a lot of lower back pain after an hour or so of riding. Now I never even think about. The stock seat had to go and I went with the saddleman you’re referring to with the back rest. Kind of mixed on my opinion of that. It is better than the stock seat though. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks. Just placed my order using your link. Hope thats an affiliate link.

Hi Todd, looking foeward to seeing how your bike turns out. I'm thinking of going for some 4" risers as just did recent 1.5k trip around Ireland and was getting some shoulder pain. Still rocking the stock seat after 17k miles...as it's comfy for me. :)

These are a waste of money. They increase engine temp. You just purchased a high dollar air cooled bike, now you just blocked much needed air flow by installing these. NOT A GOOD IDEA!!

One thing to try to eliminate buffeting is to add a vent in your windshield. This allows just enough air through to eliminate the air pocket behind the windshield and therefore gets rid of that air effect. I have a heritage and between the fork mounted fangs and the vent buffeting is almost zero at any speed

I just ordered them. I have an Indian Challenger with a "Fat-Front-Tire-Kit" (180mm) these should work perfectly!!

Now zip tie that spring

Don't ever use drywall mud on something that flexes it will come off. Take it from a drywall man, I know from experience

I’m in Sussex county nj and I had a big one in my front yard again. Bear encounters are common. I’m trying to keep my dog safe and myself

Thanks! Beautiful bike!

I really like your idea! I have a slightly different idea. Find a little more modern popup, say 2001-2005. Strip off the popup portion, and try and keep the floor, tanks, frame, propane. Add the foamie on top of that existing base. I want a usable bathroom with shower. Also, wife and I sleep separately now due to her cpap, so want to have two twins, so have to manage the layout. I have an electric SUV so need light weight (3500lb towing capacity).
