Glad to see you still rocking the Sport Glide. Quite a few people I've followed have moved on from that bike. I've even though a few times of changing mine, but when I see your bike, or other Sport Glide's it's an awesome looking Harley! Been trying to place your accent for a while, I assume you're originally from Ireland? I've been in the Philippines over 20 years but originally from the West coast of Scotland.

Yeah I'm from Ireland!☘️ And it's a lot better here for riding than over there😃 Same as Phillipines for you. I keep thinking of selling the Sport Glide then I keep going back keep to it. Can't make up my mind

Hi Roddy, many thanks for your video. I recently bought a SportGlide and as I'm 6'2" tall, I wanted to buy a biger windshield, expecting a better protection. Big disappointment ... I installed a 12" slipstreamer windshield and it is definitely terrible ... especially on the upper half of my helmet ... lot of vibration, very unpleasant ... I finally went back to the 2" stock windshield.
@RidesForDays29 күн бұрын
Very difficult to successfully deflect wind without causing turbulence..hence why i don't use the fairing at all

I have a 2022 sport glide and I have had 3 speedos replaced under warranty due to moisture and on my first ride since replacement of the 3rd speedo, the moisture issue has returned across the bottom of the speedo again. I am awaiting a response from the Harley Dealer at present.

Probably the best DIY video on KZbin. You obviously did your homework before attempting this. Some of the other videos only mention taking off the foot pegs in one piece after they already they had lost one of the ball bearing’s. I own a 2018 SportGlide. I bought it after I dropped my 2009 CVO and found out the hard way that saddle bags and an engine guards won’t protect your torso if the design of the bike protects the engine and chrome, but not your body. The SportGlide does with the engine guards and saddle bags, but the rear crash bars allow you to ride lighter without the saddlebags, and still be protected. The SportGlide is probably the best bike for older riders, women and smaller riders, as it weighs only 700lbs with the saddlebags and mini faring, but will weigh in under 650lbs if you ride it around the city stripped down with a 1/2 tank of gas, and makes the bike easier to maneuver, but still has the Milwaukee 8 107 cu/in engine, that runs like the 114 cu/in with the stage 1&2 upgrades.

Thanks mate. Yeah the crash guards really set the bike off in my opinion and look good paired with the front guards

Thanks for this buddy. I have been trying to change my PIN on my new Sportglide not knowing if one had been assigned without success ?? However the 1st couple of stages with the off/run switch were the problem. Owners Manual says switch to run, then do the off/run/off/run, indicator twice... but doesn't go to enter PIN message. BUT doing it your way it works fine !! So thanks for that and I'll have a look through your other Vids 🤩

Drill a 1/16" hole in the back housing just piercing the case to equalize the temperature and humidity. I had that problem since I bought my 2019 slim, then after watching a couple KZbin videos, I drilled mine and fixed it, has not fogged since, it's been almost a year.

Use a torch to identify the empty cavity on the white casing and drill accordingly in that area. Worked like a charm on my 2018 FatBob

Any chance you could suggest whether one can connect to the electra glide 2010 (j1850) a used matching speedometer (j1850) from other bike (say road king 2010) and do not get a VINERR displayed? p.s. people say it's just a drop in swap, other say - I need special equipment to "merry" speedo with ecm.

I’m 5’7” and just got installed my 6” risers during my first service. They had to change the brake line only. Those risers made a MASSIVE difference. My stance on the bike changed, controlling the bike got way better especially in slow speeds, and I don’t need to stretch slightly forward anymore can just sit upright. If anyone here is around same height and considering riser option, just get it. You won’t regret it especially with mid controls. I think forward controls, windshield height and weird handlebar style are what Harley did wrong with Sport Glide. If this bike was released with mid controls, higher handlebars and taller stock windshield, today it would be the superstar of Softail line up.
