Blacked out and loud! Vance & Hines power duals, fuelpak3 and SVT Boneshaket Extreme slipons!!! Not loud, just RIGHT! 2019 Special in midnight blue

[@Timcole7isme_]

Hey Sean! I came across your channels a couple of weeks ago and have binged most of them! Great stuff! I’m a pastor, and love how your share the Word in your videos too! I love bikes, and hope to finally have one of my own soon. Keep up the great work!

[@johncampana86]

Absolutely loud pipes save lives I've been riding for over 35 years on the road in traffic okay when you got loud pipes they don't have to be that loud but when you have louder pipes. people drive around with their windows up their radio on so they don't hear you and they decide to cut over to the right without using their blinker and you happen to be in that area with the loud pipe that's happening to me many times soon as I give it a little gas they hear it boom they pull back over so absolutely 100% louder pipes save lives

[@lavarcaldwell257]

I just bought one with the 107 and i absolutely love it

[@thearmoredguy]

9:05 you'll never see me putting a turbo or supercharger on a Harley, it's like modifying a minivan. Fast forward 8 months. I've put a turbo on my road king. LoL just messing with ya! I love your content!

[@traditional50shightech30]

So cool! That is my neck of the woods, great to see my favorite internet bike guy crushing my neighborhood!

[@nobaddaystravel6855]

I agree with you on the whole loud pipes saves lives things. I say that because I did EMS for 14 years and our dual siren speakers were pointed toward toward other vehicles. They still failed to notice and hear us and pull over. Exhaust pipes are pointed backward away from the vehicle ahead of you.

[@seankelly5570]

Absolutely epic, right there at the end...."I will never throw a turbo or a super charger on a Harley Davidson, I'd just buy something else!" Foreshadowing into your new Road King with a Trask kit..... Love the content man!

[@harleyrobertson73]

Hi Sean, greetings from the UK. Great channel. I brought a 2020 RKS in December 2021. My only transport all year round. Does everything I need and does it all well. A real practical work horse and can't find anything I don't like about it. Might fit heated grips for next winter but that's all. I love it. Take it easy.

[@MajorKRAZI]

"Loud pipes save lives" - maybe higher pitched loud pipes, might have some use letting others know where you are but not the low deep rumble of a Harley. The ear has a difficult time perceiving the direction off bass sounds and a much easier time with higher pitched sounds, like a horn.

[@2kanchoo]

With aftermarket pipes the "low pitched" pipes are more than loud enough to be heard unless cruising at idle rpm's. I've used my exhaust by revving it to alert vehicles to not switch lanes right into me plenty of times.

[@MajorKRAZI]

@@2kanchoo I'm not saying it has zero effect but a horn is more effective because of its tone, people in cars are more tuned to listening for horns & if the person in the car has as sub & loud bass heavy music playing it will again lessen the effect of the pipes, the horn will stand a better chance of cutting through.

[@nobaddaystravel6855]

2kanchoo I’ve done that with my stock pipes on my 18 RoadGlide Ultra

[@2kanchoo]

@@MajorKRAZI I get what you're saying about tone but you've obviously never ridden or been anywhere near a bike with aftermarket pipes. They are magnitudes louder than a horn, like not even remotely close in decibel level. Even if the person has music blaring they will hear aftermarket pipes over a horn, trust me.

[@k9m42]

No...

[@HPG45]

Just bought a '19 Road Glide Special with the same 114. Maybe it's due to the fairing, but the bike (to me) has PLENTY of rumble. Granted, I've done a Saddlesore on a Shadow with straight pipes, which was a hard lesson learned (nothing like hearing "blubblublubblubblub" mixed with tinnitis for two days afterwards), so no aftermarket pipes for me. Also, coming off an FJR1300, the 114 has plenty of power stock.

[@FlakJacketActual]

Hey Sean, just bought the 2021 FLHRXS like the one here over weekend, this vid helped me decide! Thanks

[@Staletaters]

I've got a 19' SGS in Billiard Blue and the 114 is great, and I'd argue in the real world, as fast as you would ever need a bike, given the limiter at 112mph.

[@ChopsAUSTRALIA]

Couldn’t agree more on the pipes front. Loud pipes save lives is a cop out. Training and education save lives. If someone catches you out and pulls out on you, it’s not because they didn’t hear you, it because you weren’t prepared for them to do it.

[@hogwylde]

I've watched many of your videos (I even watched your Honda 70 video) but my comment will be off-topic. I am a "non-believer" but think it's important to have a belief in something/anything and like how you quote a passage before each ride. Be safe and stay well!

[@fldad32USA]

What are the options on it? Cruise? Nice bike. Not a Harley-Davidson fan. But it looks nice.

[@dennism103]

I'm on my 1st hd rk and luv it.

[@hansc.2432]

I commend you brother for including God's word in your content. God bless you 🙏

I absolutely love my RKS! Smoothest Harley out there.

[@mojomanmurph1925]

I agree. I have a 2017 107 SGS with a Stage 2 High Performance cam and test rode a 2019 114 RKS yesterday at a demo day. Absolutely enjoyed it!!!! So smooth. Needs a windshield for long distance, interstate rides but so smooth; great power just from stock. I have to go test ride a newer SGS and RGS just to see the difference in the rides compared to the RKS.

[@jacobhanson7363]

I watched all your videos on bike reviews lol. I actually chose my sportster because of your reviews haha. I appreciate all your honesty. Good bless!

[@bryanswilik651]

It would be nice to see a slow 360 walk around. The viewer can not see what the bike looks like from the riders view. It would be really cool to have a guy filming from a bike riding next to you. People could see how it looks during acceleration, how it handles the corners, and the rider position, the whole stance of the bike. I still enjoy your videos and have learned many things on all the bikes you review ; Thanks !

[@skattingbombardier]

What kind of recording equipment are you using, it’s really clear,very little wind in the mic. I’m asking because I was looking into helmets with a incorporated mic for the phone etcetera, but the reviews were you couldn’t really hear anything over 40 mph. Great video!

[@jeffreyponting9524]

The electraglide standard has a gear indicator and with the M8 107 it got 45 mpg on the highway at 75 mph.

[@officialkingnation1774]

Same kinda road king I was looking at over at my local harley davidson dealership it's a awesome bike loud but rides smooth

[@bradwilliams4921]

Beautiful bike. I am so accustomed to a TC 88 that a fuel injected 114 would probably blow my mind. I would like a deep rumble out of the exhaust. Nice video.

[@dtfaaron]

anyone know how much HP the 103 and 114 motors have? I can only find torque specs

I have a Road King with Neighbor Haters and I do get noticed by cagers, but, Granny pulling out onto the highway in front of you ain't hearing those rear-facing pipes. Happened to me yesterday

Throw a truck horn on the bike.

[@ThePirate24263]

Hey Sean, I think it's more up to the dealership if they let you test ride the CVO bikes, I was allowed to test ride my CVO Prostreet Breakout before buying it, they didnt even go with me. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but that was how it went down when i bought mine.

[@bougelaal]

This vs Indian Springfield Darkhorse? Can you do a comparison for these two

[@wingman199123]

In trying to decide between the road king and road glide. It pretty much came down to an I going to do super long road trips and 90% of my riding is in town. So I’m starting to lean more towards the road king

[@del0373]

I just got this bike. Runs smooth. Old school Harley guy will want the vibration. The newer generation will like the smoothness. I would opt for the louder exhaust.

Sweet bike for sure

I've had my 19 RK special since February. I love that bike. but have been thinking of trading it in for a street glide or road glide.

[@mojomanmurph1925]

Give it about two years then try to sell it yourself to break even then get another bike. Dealerships only give blue-book value no matter what accessories you add to them. Best to keeps parts & swap out when about to trade with a dealership.

[@bobbyparson9229]

Just did the same thing. Its a 4000 dollar hit. I am friends withe the Sales manager.

[@bobbyparson9229]

Why are u thinking of doing that ?

[@To3tagz]

I only took a hit of 2000, I traded it yesterday. I traded it because I do alot of cross country rides and the navigation and fairing are very helpful in my mind. I'm also paying 200 less a month on the street glide special because I somehow got a much lower interest rate.

[@bobbyparson9229]

@@To3tagz Hows that possible ? The street glide is a more expensive bike. unless you got a better Interest rate.

[@CowboyNation1977]

I own a 19 FLHRXS with 114ci (Road King Special) I love my loud pipes. I know this is anecdoteI.. but while riding they are not that loud but if I really get on it and wrap throttle people pay more attention then when I hit more horn. In fact I dont even use more horn any more. As soon as I see a situation about to occur, I wrap my throttle and people pay attention. I hit more horn and they continue to pull out in front of me or cut me off. I also live in florida where nobody pays attention in traffic and you have to be an aggressive driver here or get ran over and or hit. People hear a motorcycle engine and think twice here in florida. People hear a horn in florida and keep pulling out or proceed to cut you off intentionally.
