Off Road? I bought a Jeep Rubicon. Bad fuel efficiency? I bought a hybrid Jeep Rubicon. I am still enjoying HD's best! Take care and stay safe!

I’ve been using the same set from this install video and never had any issues with them. The cool thing is, last year the vendor reached out asking if I could do a review, and I told them I already had! They were still kind enough to send me a full set, which we raffled off to raise money for Veterans. I really appreciated their donation, and if my lights ever go out, I’ll definitely buy from this brand again.

The Road King is an amazing deal, especially with only 7k miles on it! I originally wanted a Deluxe because, as you know, they’re beautiful bikes. But since they were discontinued, I went with the Road King. With all the extras-like the bags, passenger floorboards, cruise control, and the touring frame-plus that classic look, I’m really happy with my choice. Congrats on your Road King! Take care and ride safe!

Same here!

Just a bit sore but totally fine :)

Totally agree, that option could have swayed me...

The scarcity of parts is a valid concern, and while I think Victory motorcycles are fantastic, I prefer to spend my spare time riding rather than searching for parts. Hunting for parts for any motorcycle can be challenging, but Harley-Davidson has excellent aftermarket support. I've also heard that some Indian motorcycle parts may be compatible with Victory models, which could be an option for keeping your Victory on the road. However, it's always best to verify part compatibility through trusted sources or mechanics.

Other than the trickle charger, which I use to plug in my Garmin GPS, there isn’t a built-in power source. You can buy USB power plugs from the Harley-Davidson site or Amazon, though I haven’t installed any since my GPS uses the trickle charger. I feel Harley-Davidson should have included a USB port, like on the Softails. It seems like a missed opportunity to save a few bucks, which is disappointing.

I understand that using the word 'investment' for motorcycles can sound odd, but it's important to note that not all bikes depreciate at the same rate. Harley-Davidson motorcycles tend to hold their value better than many other brands, including Japanese bikes. For example, studies show that Harley-Davidson bikes retain around 84% of their value after three years, compared to Japanese brands like Honda or Yamaha, which may retain closer to 70-75% of their value over the same period. Of course, any motorcycle is going to lose value over time, but Harley-Davidson has a strong resale market due to brand loyalty, a rich heritage, and aftermarket support. So while it's not an 'investment' in the traditional sense, Harleys tend to depreciate less quickly than many competitors, which can make them a smarter choice for riders who consider long-term ownership costs.

Totally agree!

Have you seen the 2024 RG & SG. Everything for exception of the frame has changed in response to not being modern and I think that is why vivid black is not the base color anymore so more colors are out there then just black and chrome or black on black. And yes, I have Black on chrome and it is what I always wanted. :)

Yep, but that is my GoPro settings, If I buy a 2024 or newer touring motorcycle or test ride one I will need to adjust my settings. I did not like that either to be honest but we live and learn, right. Thanks for the comment.

Love it! I wish I had picked up a police model when I was shopping, but I’m still really happy with my 2021 Road King. I don’t ever want to part with it. If I get a Harley with a fairing one day, my goal is to keep my Road King standard.

Thanks for the kind words, I need to get back at as personal life with family plus busy at work. I really miss it and actually have a few I need to edit. So stay tuned as more are coming.

I totally get where you’re coming from! The Harley community is actually really diverse, with riders from all walks of life. It’s not about fitting a mold, but about enjoying the ride and the freedom that comes with it. Whether you're into burgers and beer or something else entirely, there’s a place for everyone. Ride what you love and find your own tribe!

I purchased the Vulcan 900 used with 4,000 miles on it. I never adjusted the handlebars during my ownership because they were already in a comfortable position for me. I'm not sure if they were adjusted by the previous owner, but since they felt right for me, I never considered moving or questioning their position.

I think this is due to Harley Davidson being heavier and does not get blown around so easily.

My Dad had a Honda CB 900 Custom and we would go on rides, I do not remember feeling vibrations but I was just a kid so most likely I was just enjoying the ride. Thanks for share your comment.

My pleasure!

Absolutely, two saddle bags are often not enough for a road trip. I purchased a large Saddlemen bag (have a video on it), which I strapped to the back of my bike, and it served me well for a cross-country trip. Now, with a tour pack, I have plenty of space for all my gear.

Hey there! Yeah, I'm working on my weight, too. My wife says I should move faster when she calls me, but at least she likes my looks, LOL. As for the Harley Davidson, the weight just disappears when you're riding. It's well-balanced at slow speeds, and I absolutely LOVE the classic look. But hey, Harleys aren't for everyone. Luckily, there's a ton of different motorcycles to choose from. As long as you're happy and enjoying the ride, that's what counts. Take care and stay safe!

@@CageFreeMoto I’m a Harley owner myself I ride a 2009 fatboy love my bike yes it’s slow and heavy I just never fancy the roadkill g it looks overkill too big thankyou for the reply message cheers Anthony australia

Hello Brother! I am honestly impressed with the quality of this tour-pack and have not taken it off since I installed it. I prefer the look of the smaller ones but the King tour-pack gives you so much space and you can lock 2 large helmets in there. Hopefully my wife will be on more since she may be riding with me as she like the tour-pack. The other guy is my daughters fiancé, nice guy. Will ping you when I am in SoCal again... take care and ride safe!

Thanks for your kind words! Take care and ride safe!

Thank you sir 👍

It has been a minute, thanks for the kind words and for watching!

Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences with Honda Goldwings! It's fantastic to hear about the reliability and joy you've had with your bikes. Victory motorcycles are known for their durability, much like Goldwings, and with proper maintenance, they can provide a dependable ride for many years. Regarding Harley Davidson, it's true that they have an extensive dealership network, which can be reassuring for some riders. This is particularly beneficial for those who travel frequently, as having access to service and support across the country can be a significant advantage. Harley Davidson faced challenges in the 1980s when it was owned by AMF, leading to concerns about reliability. Many people still hold onto that perception today. However, I can share from personal experience that my Harley Davidson Road King has been incredibly reliable. I've ridden it across the country and back, now clocking in at about 30,000 miles, and with regular maintenance, I haven't had any issues. Ultimately, choosing a motorcycle is about finding what suits your needs and preferences best. Victory motorcycles, like Honda Goldwings, are a solid choice for reliability, and Harley Davidson has come a long way in ensuring their bikes are dependable too. Personally, I love all motorcycles and who knows what other brand I might own in the future-maybe a Honda Goldwing, Indian, BMW, or another Harley Davidson. The most important thing is to enjoy being on two wheels and to stay happy and safe as a Cage Free Moto.

Thank you sir.

So you are now on the RK? You probably need an extended seat to stretch out a bit more... but yeah more room on the touring platform for sure.

Thank you sir! 👍

Was not aware of that...

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, super simple to install and LOVE all the extra storage space.

I appreciate that, thats why they call me EZ. You take care and stay safe!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks 👍 Means a lot from you. Take care and stay cool!

Not yet, but some on my radar to do.

No problem, I may do it today and see if I can figure out the 2 cable harness I purchase thanks SIR

@@tocotoco40 Please let me know how it works out. If the product meets your expectations, inform me, and I might consider using the same for the video.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Take care and stay safe!

Looks like you scored a great deal on a Road King that was very well taken care of. You are definitely riding it, mine is a 2021 and just hitting 30k. Thanks for sharing, take care and ride safe!

Congrats! That is a very nice motorcycle, take care and ride safe

I am approximately 3 inches taller than you and have a heavier build, and I've found that my bike performs excellently when riding solo. Currently, I ride a Harley Davidson with a 107 cubic inch (1753.42 cc) engine. Recently, my wife began joining me on rides, and I've noticed a desire for more power, likely because I'm accustomed to the feel of solo riding. For local trips around town or leisurely cruising, the Vulcan 900 should suffice when riding with your wife. However, based on my experience, if I had known that my wife would be riding with me regularly, I would have opted for a model with more power from the start. I originally purchased my Vulcan as a re-entry motorcycle, thinking it would be my permanent choice, and it is indeed a great bike. However, for two-up riding on the freeway, you might find yourself needing more acceleration and power for those conditions.

Thanks for the kind words and happy you found value in this video

No he did not... we actually tried flipping it and it did not fit right. So, we believe it is installed correctly.

Any time!
