Dope bike John. I love that tour pack. The Heritage is a sick bike. Enjoy.

[@TheHarleyTech]

Thanks Matt! It’s no Storm Trooper, but I’m enjoying he hell out of it!

[@williamhyland4253]

I should of got a heritage instead of my street bob. I feel limited to around town.

[@SmoothRuffian]

I may need you to help me out with one soon Matt!

[@BlockheadMoto]

You can carry like... 100 beers on that bike now. And an extra 5-10 under that beard! Dang. 🍺

[@BaggerBro]

Dude, gotta keep the new wheels and rider safe!!! The tour pack looks super good looking, now you have more space for activities!!!

[@TheHarleyTech]

You’re the man!

[@BlockheadMoto]

+1 get on them vids BaggerBrah!

[@12wingwfetech]

You are the first person that I ever seen that worked at a motorcycle shop that does not talk down to people . The ones that work in shops here were I am from in Canada ,when you walk in to a shop here as far as they are concerned you are a idiot and how dare you question them . Keep the vedios coming really enjoy your channel

[@TheHarleyTech]

The good ones are out there!

[@jeffallen5758]

12wingwfetech wingwfetech totally agree with you.

[@bikecommuter24]

There are good ones you just have to find them, you get that in every profession I trained to be an auto mechanic then went to motorcycles. yes we were called that back in the late 70's early 80's we were still called mechanics later the term Technician came along. Funny thing is I'm a trained mechanic now I do photography and video but I'm still a nice guy, I got long hair and a beard and sometimes I think people take me for a homeless person. I also worked in other jobs like bartender, auto auctions, warehouse, office worker, etc. I've met the snobs in those professions, and in some of the jobs if you don''t use a certain brand or model of product they look down at you I don't worry about that I work on providing good service and products for my clients. Of course I get customers and clients who think they are VIP and DEMAND to treated like royalty, I can tell a few stories about those.

[@keithrandall9076]

Sounds like Harley Davidson of Winnipeg to me. I have video of me showing up for an appointment there & the first words out of the service guys mouth are "sign the fucking papers ! " I called Milwaukee about it and have been ignored.

[@peterobinson4389]

Vote with your wallet! If you don't like the service, tell management and move on or just move on. I prefer letting them know the problem so they can correct it and depending on attitude and action I stay or go.

[@eastcoast.30cal28]

LOL! I thought I was the only one that talked to myself and make noises under my helmet whilst I ride! Too funny and glad to know I'm not the only weirdo (In a good way, of course)! Nice Bike John!

[@MagWire8]

EastCoast.30Cal dude I do the same

[@HouseboatWayne]

Dude! DO NOT PUT YOUR HELMET IN THAT THING TILL YOU DO THIS!!!!!!!!! I learned the hard way! Look at the hinge the rivets are cut backwards and they will chew and maul anything hard. LIKE YOUR HELMET!!!!! Go to Home Depot buy some rubber door stops they are circular with a hole in the middle deep enough to cover the rivet stems. Just superglue them on and you are good to go. I had to pitch a fit when it chewed up my helmet, HD replaced my helmet after I showed them a picture in their magazine of putting a helmet in there.

[@jasonbennett3956]

I was wondering why you went with the heritage softail, over the road king or street glide?

[@paulbronnenberg2075]

After your comment about "Luving the tourpak for the extra storage" .... I realized its a pattern MOST of us follow.....Sportsters in your teens/twenties, WideGlide/SuperGlide in your thirties , Heritage Softail/StreetGlide,/RoadGlide in your fourties to sixites, and the TriGlide in your 70's. I am in the TriGlide period and after I bought it , guess what I said, "Luving all this extra storage" see the pattern ??? Looking forward to more of your videos of Paris (TX) trip. It was great fun even if we didnt break the record ....

[@paulwolf6799]

I'm 58 and luving my softail

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

F11 is no joke! ….just a really over priced protectant spray that does zero to enhance shine, only protect it short term. FYI

[@davidcarroll7193]

Jim Myers thanks for the info

[@TheBlueBikeDoyle]

Yep

[@chrisphilhower6029]

Speaking of the Key. I dropped the gas cap on my 15 Street 750. Couldn't buy a replacement keyed the same. Had to buy a new Lock Set. Installed it myself. And fixed the Clutch Cable problem. About once a week I had to adjust the Clutch. Dealer bound the cable when they did the Fuel Pump Recall. Complained(To dealer) the slot in the cable was moving, They told me to use Blue Loctite on the lock nut. Or crank it down with pliers. I just got the Cobra Saddle Bag Supports for my Custom. Took 10 minutes to install. Now I need to get bags.

[@cadrat1962]

Pick up my 2019 Heritage Softail tomorrow!!

[@Caseysays]

You will definitely miss that bike, but I don't think you'll really regret it with that beautifulHeritage you're on now! I decided to keep my Sportster when I bought my Road King. Now I take the Sporty out once a week just to keep her purring.

[@gregs8678]

Just out of curiosity what made you choose the softail vs a Street Or Road Glide?

[@r.o.1330]

....this video did wonders for my psyche. I can't count the number of times people have caught me talking to myself while riding. Now that I know you do it as well, I'm MUCH better now! Enjoy your trip!

[@lucasnelson1739]

Lol! I’m sure you wouldn’t miss the $6.00 it took to fill up your sporty

[@user-mp2qj6rs9c]

John, just found out today that my 2018 Heritage FLHc has a flaw with the speedometer display lens due to moisture getting inside. they tell me it has to vent and this happens when you take it from a cool garage to a hot outside. Has Harley never made a speedometer lens cover before, is this something new to them? I seem to recall my 2006 softail deluxe had the same setup and lo and behold it didn't haze over and become unreadable in sunlight.. I went to my local dealer they said they will repair it one time but that the new one will most likely screw up again and they will not cover the second unit. Is this the most ridiculous thing you have ever heard, probably not cause you work there and you are pretty familiar with how this Bull Shit company can work. How can you sell a 20k plus new bike to someone with a defective speedometer lens, no less, and then say "Well, we'll fix it one time but screw you if it breaks, and it most likely will, quoting Harley Davidson, again. please enlighten me on how I'm supposed to react this. Hope you have better luck with your bike but since, again, you work for them I guess you don't need luck, Signed, pissed off in f*****g Ohio.

[@fred7863]

Same issue with my wife's 2018. Just sent photos to dealership requesting warranty. Had same issue with my CVO.

[@user-mp2qj6rs9c]

Crazy and they wonder why they've lost market share

[@IrishBOBSister]

We've had some customers at our shop experience the same issue (mostly on touring bikes tho...). As long as the bike is under warranty, your authorized Harley-Davidson dealer SHOULD be able to replace the odo/speedo without any complications. It does say right in the service bulletin from the MoCo that the issue could happen again, BUT in each of our customers' bikes they have not had that except for one -and, after calling HDMC, we replaced it -again, under warranty. Each shop is different tho... the best thing you can do is call Harley's customer service directly at 800-258-2464 or 414-343-4056. Have your bike's VIN ready so they can link it.

[@bigj200016]

Good call dirty thumbs. Although I went with the sissy bar and luggage rack instead of the tourpak on my Sport Glide. Will get a sissy bar bag at some point in the future.

[@scottfletcher2280]

Hey John, just an addon recommendation. I've had a 18 heritage since March and initially had a lot of wind buffeting behind the windshield. I'm not sure if you've experienced the same thing, but I found a guy selling fork wind deflectors specifically made for the 18 heritage. They completely solved the wind buffeting issue and made it a much smoother ride. They're sold by JES Custom Accents. I have no affiliation with them. Just very happy with their product. Thanks for the great videos man!

[@JNich68]

I have been dealing with the same issue on my 2016. Good to hear the solution. I will have to take a look and see if they are the same fit for my 16

[@rubiconguy6599]

I can also attest to the fork fangs, they’ve helped a tremendous amount with wind buffeting and stability on the Highway.

[@RoughNek72]

Uhhhh man I hate slow people in the left lane!!!!!!!!!

[@ryanc9742]

All the reviews for that tour pak are 1 star on the Harley online store. The complaints are that it is cheaply made mostly , and the internal lock scratches helmets stored inside. I wanted to adapt one to my ‘16 Slim S , but Now I’m unsure of spending $700 on something that might suck. John I’m guessing you got an employee discount, but I’m curious do you think it’s worth the $$ for the regular retail customer?

[@jackfallat9516]

All you need now is a cup holder and a microwave oven and you'll be all set !

[@talkingrock7011]

john it is tuff letting a bike go that you enjoy I did last year but gained a new 2017 TGU which the wife and I enjoy ride safe

[@AlexRides808]

I have that same phone mount with the magnetic base. I can verify that the magnet sticks to your tank and holds very well in 110 mph winds.

[@israelperez9858]

Hey john can u fit that touring pak on a 2018 softail fatbob?

[@TheHarleyTech]

I don’t think any of the Harley brackets are made for the fat bob. Doesn’t mean something can’t be figured out, though.

[@israelperez9858]

John Maxwell thanks

[@ernieme101]

good video ! love that blue and white Heritage , looks even cooler with wide white walls . you should have played Johnny Cash and June Carter singing 'Jackson' when you were talking about that part of the trip :)

[@geoffozevans4500]

Your Sportster will hopefully go to a great home, lovely machine, I'm on holiday at the moment on an island called Fuerteventura off the NW coast of Africa, very hot 👍👍😎

[@IronCrossRacing]

Glad to see you riding in style and comfort! Great upgrades and great vid of your day 1 out to Paris. It was cool getting to meet you out there at the Choctaw Casino. Keep that content coming! 😎🤘

[@scottwilloughby3840]

Great job sportster is real sweet bike nice new bike tour pack is nice addition it’s nice you can detach windshield and your pack real nice thanks again

[@vheiskell1]

I just bought a 2020 Heritage Softail Classic from Paris TX dealership Billiard Red and Vivid Black had them put on Tour Pack and Heated Kahuna grips engine and bag guards. We’re excited about it. Your Videos help us with insight. You and Matt Laidlaw are my go to guys for what works and what doesn’t! Thanks for all you do for us!

[@kennethreynolds8]

Good vid JM, I'm liking the Heritage with all it's functionality and looks, dirty 👍🏾

[@Joe-pq6td]

Hey bro you inspired me to get my 2020 FLHCS and I ordered lots of goodies; Tour pack; Mustache bar; 2" up apes w/heated grips; etc. I wanted to order pipes but I'm being told that in order to keep high performance I will also need K&N air filter and FP3 tuner. ???? Any input will help me

[@JNich68]

Another great video. I was hoping for a little more info on the install. I have a set of aftermarket bags I am going to put on my 2016 FLSTC but I ran into a hardware problem. The OEM studs (90367-03) are just a little to short. I really dont want to have to go to a typical bolt because I do like to be able to take bags off from time to time for cleaning bike and such. Anyone know what the stud size it for 90367-03? Looks like overall length is 3 inches but curious for the size of threaded portion so that I can try and research a similar style stud set up.

[@RossMalagarie]

John I don't know how you do it. I use my RAM cell mount and have google maps and Spotify for long trips and even have Spotify to my helmet Bluetooth for all riding even if its just for an hour. Love hearing my playlists and the exhaust in the background. Great bike, video and keep the content coming bro. Ride safe from south Louisiana, about 70miles south of New Orleans.

[@DanielDraper-ki4hr]

I've got a Hold Fast detachable sissy bar with luggage rack, is that interchangeable with the Tour Pack where I can swap them out without changing the docking hardware?

[@TimsAvatar]

First view?? 👍🏼 .. excellent outro! Only thing you’re missing are those Boot Draggers! I’ll get them to ya for your Heritage!

[@randymooreakascarecrow5003]

Howdy John, it was awesome meeting you in Paris Texas and getting a photo with a KZbin celebrity, LOL, can't wait to see the Paris videos keep up the good work bro, maybe next summer we can get up your way. Until then Ride Hard, Rod Safe

[@migrib7]

Hey John, tks for your videos. Really have helped understand better my Harley. I have a question for you, I have a Softail deluxe 2006 and I just bought a used tour pack for my longer rides, but it came with a solo mount. I saw the one you installed in your and would be great if you could point out to me where I could buy one online. I live in Portugal and it’s harder to get Harley stuff here. Hope you can help and keep on inspiring us ;) cheers

[@arlenewolf5260]

Hey John, your videos are great, but you need to re edit your introductions. You cut off the end of your last name when you introduce yourself. Keep the videos coming. FYI I am getting a 114 Heritage. What do you think the best sounding and loudest slip on's are? I just heard the RC and the Rinehart (in the same showroom) and I thought the RC sounded Louder and more old school classic Harley, but I want your opinion. The cats need to go! I hope the RC's are also known to perform and breathe well.

[@ronhamilton515]

John Maxwell is the lost Robertson brother. New show “Harley Dynasty “😆

[@southhaysfire0173]

I know this video is old and I am sorry to do this to you but, but I was curious about the windshield, I just picked up a '19 flhc, I like the black/clear windshield but it doesn't appear in that configuration on the HD website, so which brand is it if you please?

[@madoz6336]

2014 Road king screaming eagle stage 4 kit and intake and exhaust download tune oil change up to date , Less than 1500 for sale black !

[@cjg431]

Hey john. Besides stroke and cubic inches what bike has a smoother ride better for longer trips. 107 or 114? Trying to decide which heritage to get. I can ride a 100 to 300 in a day.

[@michaelgray8766]

I too own a heritage it’s my first bike. I do have a question for you… how come you went with a heritage and not like a Road King or a Road Glide? Just curious.

[@crewgadjy]

Carefull carrying you MacBook like that, had mine in panniers in neoprene case and the vibrations killed the motherboard.

[@darkknight1340]

I notice when you are filling up,that the Shell V power petrol is rated at 93 RON,in the UK our V power is a 99 RON.

[@hrishikeshpatil6962]

Maybe it only me but the accessories for the new Softails suck. Specifically saddlebags, the lockable ones and the sissy bars with its detachable system. They lack build quality and are very flimsy. I have seen two examples where the lock just dislodged outta the saddlebag and the same happened to the tourpak too. I admire these bikes but such issues make it seem unappealing.

[@emersonguimaraes3108]

looks beautiful. #iamBrazilian

[@Surpluzz]

Nice vid bud. Were gonna make a motovlogger out of you yet! 😉

[@paulmurray5413]

Nice video

[@richardstewart6228]

John sent you a message on fb asking about the docking hardware. I'm having issues adjusting mine.

[@MrHondaboy93]

Hey I was wondering would you happen to know if Harley or another company makes a tour pack mount for the Dyna switchback

[@tonycorvettes]

just bought a 2019 heritage how can i make the stock bags quick release????????????

[@mikepatton2300]

This technology was supposed to enrich our lives they said... it will be fun they said!

[@TalismanRocks]

.What's the band playing at marker 01:32, sounds good!!!

[@ericoswald5222]

Hey bro , curious on how tall you are, looking at getting my first bike, and really like the Heritage, any comments? Be safe

[@CraigSmith568]

Sort of odd that the tour pack and the backrest use different locations for the quick release. I do love that the Heritage can be stripped down to a bare cruiser in a few minutes. Saddlebags are the only thing that needs tools to remove. Wish Harley would have put the same style bolts as the touring models saddlebags.

[@thetrissynashville]

Don’t put me in there again, John. I’m claustrophobic.

[@jasonbennett3956]

John is there anyway the saddlebags for a 2018 heritage could be made to fit a 2012 fatboy lo? Can the seat fit too?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Bike looks awesome and certainly road trip ready! Younger guys version of my Limited Low, haha. Enjoy!

[@crewgadjy]

Wow you work for free, coz that’s what unprofessional means.

[@robbierussell9536]

Nice..yellow sporty..love yellow..I'll sell you my low t black hills gold lol

[@bobkaniper4806]

Might want to consider a blanket under that laptop. Did the same to a road king. The trunks do pass quite a bit of shock onto the contents.

[@michaelkilday6552]

MIKE KILDAY LOVE YOUR VLOGS . COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU USE TO LUBE YOOUR CHAIN. THANKS.

[@kylemcatee503]

I know this is an old ass video but you ever consider putting mirrors underneath?

[@sattercaster1]

Not supposed to hang your own bell dude. You new to this whole biker thing?

[@CodeDreamer68]

I'm gonna get one for my 2022 flhcs. Thanks.

[@sam22jrm]

Did you get a curling iron bro? (oh no you didn't) baaaAAA HAAAAAA HAAAA looks good....

[@user-os1qt9jz1o]

How did you put the saddlebags on with the rigid mount sissy bar?

[@davidhahn2605]

what gloves do you wear in the farewell to the sportster video and i like the new heritage was just looking at one of those myself

[@michaelmueller8976]

Monster is bad for you! Try chia seeds. Ancient armies carried them in pouches for energy.

[@fred7863]

John do you think the tour pak lid could handle a Air Wing luggage rack on top of it??

[@mckinnonerario2883]

That pro tip while getting gas!! Thank you lmao i always just use my glove 🤦‍♂️

[@TheHarleyTech]

I see people do it that way all the time!

[@moose3971]

Good luck with the Sena’s, glad you got them to connect, somewhat, lol. My friends and I have had so many issues with them, usually we can connect 2 to 3 easily, more than that is a mother fu#$er moment, I have plenty of video of swearing, lol.

[@TheHarleyTech]

We got them to work ok. I’d really like to have a 30k over the 10S. I had no issues talking to Blockhead while I was in Orlando. So it seems it’s just me and John not knowing what we’re doing...

[@georgezhou1415]

Hi john. Does the tour pak work on 19 fatboy?

[@lonniehuggenberger5914]

bag liners ?? where do i get mine for my 2020 heratage

[@chopperjamie]

I just sent this video to a friend of mine. She asks me how I deal with riding for hours on end by myself. I directed her to the 9 minute mark and told her to watch it for 45 seconds. That is EXACTLY what I sound like!!! HAHA! MOTORCYCLE!!!!!!!! LEFT LANE!!! TOO SLOW!!!!

[@TheHarleyTech]

Hahaha

[@rdetme4ever552]

I also get exited in my helmet and song rant at other people who can’t here me.

[@CodeDreamer68]

Does that tour pack leave room for the license plate?

[@realWorsin]

You aren't supposed to put the bell on yourself. It loses its power.

[@stevencorry5790]

Are these bikes supposed to come with 2 key fobs?

[@gwynnromano5881]

Download the WAZE app, better than a GPS, gives you updated info about conditions ahead as well as directions. Safe travels!

[@TheHarleyTech]

Good call, I’ll check that out

[@dannynoel993]

Nice bike,,still have the badboy.

[@larry68hd11]

How do you like the Heritage know ?

[@clundrach4701]

Don't you have bugs in the US?

[@drewyager4020]

What are the lights on in the speedometer for?

[@RoadkingAdventures]

What GPS app are you using?

[@bigj200016]

Nice bike bud. I went back and forth between Sport Glide and Heritage for about 3 months b4 deciding on SG. If not for the spoked wheels on the heritage, I probably would have gone that way

[@TheHarleyTech]

I had a tough time, too. I chose the heritage based on a 114 version.

[@kn1ghtus]

hey buddy, i was really looking forward to hearing the difference between the '19 and '18. I have an '18 heritage but didn't hear anything and I can't find anything on HD's website!

[@TheHarleyTech]

There isn’t much different. The flywheel no longer has “balance holes” the primary cover is the new narrow version (it does retrofit), and the color options. I think that’s all. Hopefully John and I get to do another ride and we can talk about some stuff.

[@leowilson2056]

I got the same phone holder lol. Best on I have used

[@darkdemise99]

Silly question, why does the trunk lock when the whole thing is quick detach from the bike? Keep up the awesome videos!

[@TheHarleyTech]

Valid point. You can get the lockable latches for the rack, too. Then you can have 3 keys!!!

[@shanetabor8129]

Think hard on getting sport glide. The rear touring pack you put on, would it go on and come off simple and quick? I would like it for really long trips but would want to remove.

[@TheHarleyTech]

it's a breeze to take on and off.

[@clarkbabin9799]

My last wife bought the bell for the road king. Now I need someone to buy my next bell for my 19 road glide special

[@clarkbabin9799]

Love the new infotainment system. Has gps on it in addition to other goodies

[@luisg041586]

Bro I need to know what kind of bars you have I would like to put those on my 04 sportster 1200 XL custom.

[@TheHarleyTech]

They’re burly narrow bottom 14” I have a video about my XL

[@TheBlueBikeDoyle]

LoL I almost wore my 93 dead dinosaurs shirt today . Looks like great ride so far. Yes one thing I love about my 2019 M8 114 is how smooth it is.

[@batman1989keaton]

Man I have a question, I ordered some new master cylinder covers for my 06 FLST. The new ones are plastic and don’t fit my master cylinders. I ordered them from Harley. Did they have 2 versions back in 06, or what?

[@marklafollett6266]

Picking up my 2019 Heritage tomorrow. Thanks for the awesome video. You are hilarious and informative. I will definitely be getting the tour pack in the future.

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

Personally I think if you take off the Windshield of the Heratige softail, you lose the designed look for it, you know? It's a lot like getting a sport glide and taking off the fairing.

[@bryanhallman8183]

Lou Reed.... fucking awesome...

[@johndundas4539]

Hi John I have the same bike which I am stoked about which has a set of Freedom Sharp Curve Radius Pipes with black tips. I had the engine remapped with a Screaming Eagle Pro Tuner then Dyno'd. After the Dyno it now has an output at Max Torque = 111.40 at Engine RPM = 2.77. All I can say is that they look and sound awesome. Love your Blogs.

[@richardedwin5980]

Still think you should've gotten the Road Glide Special...just say'n. But the new scoot is nice too. Congrats.
