2022 STREET GLIDE SPECIAL FLHXS REVIEW AND TEST RIDE

In depth review of the 2022 Street Glide Special (FLHXS). I go over the differences between the Standard and Special. I also talk a little bit about the differences between Street Glide and Road Glide. I also go for a useless test ride. Listen to to me discuss a bunch of somewhat interesting talking points. Or don't....

[@naustin571]

You have the best review videos. Can’t wait for 2023 reviews

[@Peter-mcmcmc]

Outstanding, once again! Idk why you haven't blown up more, bro. Your delivery style is raw, honest, sarcastic, dry, smartass ("stick of gum or tic tacs haha), and REAL! Your videography, in all its forms/angles/drone footage, etc., is on-point, and yes, your slow-speed skills are downright BOSS! The first video of yours I watched was you manhandling the '21 Street Bob around the dealership and I instantly subscribed. I was like, "this dude knows what he's talking about AND he's got cred." Have a great weekend, man. ✌🤘

[@thehdguy378]

Thank you for the support! I appreciate the positive feedback, as always Peter. Thanks for watching.

[@Locoandchooch]

Just bought mine 3 weeks ago and love it.

[@thehdguy378]

It’s a great motorcycle. Congratulations on the new Harley!

[@msilver4888]

great review quick and to the point

[@roadglide]

Another sweet example of a gorgeous Harley Davidson touring Bagger. Good stuff coming out that Bedford, Texas store. I likey. The slow speed maneuvering is excellent use of the clutch, brake and throttle otherwise known as the “friction zone”. Nice job Chad.

[@thehdguy378]

Thank you, sir! I appreciate you for watching and leaving positive feedback. It helps to keep me going. Holler when you’re ready for a road glide. I’ll be sure to take care of you!

[@bobhartman2571]

Thank you, a very informative review.

[@bderryberry4987]

Had to have shot this on Sunday; Dealership empty and Chick-Filet closed haha. P.S., I bought a new Streetglide Special. Good review!

[@shadowknight99999]

Street glide specials definitely my choice, I like the single headlight look!

[@royalad]

Thank you ,, you make me happy 😊

[@thehdguy378]

Right on…

[@alexdrea4339]

I got a '22 standard and I love it. Street glide feels so comfy compared to a road glide in my opinion. Doesn't make me right or wrong just my opinion

[@kenlange978]

Thank you, this helped me decide on the special or the standard

[@thehdguy378]

Special all day long unless you could care less about the 7 extra options you get.

[@SkeemieTV]

You’re really good man I really can’t wait to get my first bike lol

[@mas3292]

Great job young man!

[@thehdguy378]

Thank you!

[@danny29600]

Great review , thank you

Gracias

[@Berserker-gd1xw]

Bro, my first time watching you.... You are the shit!!! Very informative and completely covered all the important stuff. Top Dog brother.👍👍

[@robertcurtis9449]

Love that bike! I'm trying to find one in that same trim

[@rextripod6242]

Just bought that bike yesterday. Can’t believe the difference in power from my heritage 103. Looking forward to putting miles on it.

[@thehdguy378]

Yuge difference. Yuge.

[@thanosetsitty1896]

Instant sub.

[@johnbryant4416]

Really enjoyed the video. Awesome slow riding skills! I thought the ride through was a great way to show off the dealership! You mentioned the bars. What size is stock on the Street Glide 2022 special? I have purchased the same bike, same color, and have made a few changes and looking at a larger handlebar but cannot find out what the stock size is. As for the sound at 80+ - Yuck! and that is using the USB. I had a dealership tell me I should always remove the USB after each ride, that leaving it in can damage the radio ... My pass bike the 2014 Ultra Limited I left it in and had no issues. Thoughts. Again - Great sound, Great video quality and the delivery was perfect! THX

[@RAIDERWORLD]

Great review! Looking at adding one of these to the arsenal. The white is absolutely my favorite. Man, I wish they would let me ride it off the showroom floor like that haha

[@thehdguy378]

Come to Texas Harley and I’ll let you ride one off the floor! Seriously. Haha

[@RAIDERWORLD]

@@thehdguy378 Don’t tempt me lol

[@michiganborn8303]

I wish all motorcycle reviews were like this one. All (or most) of the others don't do a detailed walk around or run the bike during the walk around so we can see the lighting and listen to the exhaust note. They just get on and start telling their life stories.

[@ChrisYVRVANcruiser]

Good job great video

[@thehdguy378]

Thank you. I’m trying.

[@ChrisYVRVANcruiser]

@@thehdguy378 well you are doing a pretty good job at trying :) and if you Like low speed stuff cjhecl out my boring KZbin page :)

[@SmokingDeWalt]

Great video! Until I saw this video, I never would have considered white but that bike looks awesome. For some reason the harley stock photo's that I have seen of this color looks like a nasty tan color.

[@thehdguy378]

Agree 100%. I actually like this color on chrome too. The website photos do it no justice. That’s kind of how it goes with Harley. I’ve learned to not judge until I see it on person.

[@184876ela]

I LIKE THE ST

[@michaelpulice6100]

Does the Streeglide Special come with a stage 2 standard 🤔

[@dancedance3440]

I have a 2020 street glide special and some of the poor ride and also handling issue's are caused by the rear shocks that are way too stiff and too short of travel for a 210 lb (my weight) rider in my opinion and that is using the book and also trial and error to adjust them. The special is 1 inch lower then the standard by removing that inch from the shocks. When you hit a pothole you will know it and it tends to scissor (lack of a better word) in the corners and makes you pucker up a bit.. After replacing the rear stock shocks with some over priced, 1inch longer replacements the ride and handling have become what you would expect for a motorcycle of this cost and stature. I don't mind replacing things on my motorcycle but I want to do it because I want to and not because I have to.

[@michiganborn8303]

$27k and Harley Davidson STILL can't get rid of the incandescent turn signal for LED. I would still need heated grips.

[@conner1354]

I purchased a 2021 Street Glide Special. Love it except the clutch. After a short ride I had a blister on my thumb. Never had this problem with my 2003 Low Rider. What can I do to get this fixed? Otherwise it is a sweet ride.

[@thehdguy378]

I’d say look at some easy pull levers. I use 1 Finger (that’s a brand). I can’t imagine why your thumb would have a blister though?

[@kevinstockman8866]

You got sissy hands

[@kevinstockman8866]

I jjust bought one sand white.i hope its better than the 2005 ultra i bought

[@thehdguy378]

I would hope it’s better lol

[@johnmatero234]

Had a Road Glide and found it terrible to ride in hot weather because it blocked almost all airflow to my body. Do you feel more air on the Street Glide? How is the buffeting?

[@thehdguy378]

To me it’s pretty much the same. I’m 5’ 11”. I think taller guys benefit more from the road glide. Just my opinion. As far as too hot, I’d imagine you’re riding in the city? Or Death Valley? I think ventilation on any motorcycle is great. You’ve got fresh air every second. If it’s hot it’s due to gear, type of riding (city vs country), or climate.

[@laneunger6645]

Hi thanks for the video! How tall are you if you don’t mind 😊

[@thehdguy378]

5’ 11”

[@hoss6048]

Street Glide ,Road Glide. I watch other channels as well and one I respect, Jerry Paladino..says he can’t tell the difference.

[@cameroncraig771]

I can hear my stock radio at 80+ no problem

[@thehdguy378]

You can hear something. I doubt you can make out which song is playing.

[@cameroncraig771]

@@thehdguy378 actually I can lol I have no issues whats so ever but carry on.

[@KeepUpwithmeucant]

It's their story and their sticking to it lol 😆

[@gnt256]

bro where you get the gloves at?

[@thehdguy378]

Apache Junction

[@Boobie204]

Are in TEXAS? I think i know that dealership

[@thehdguy378]

Yes. Bedford Texas. It’s Texas Harley-Davidson.

[@donroberts1626]

for that kind of money, they could and should have done the fuel cap.

[@thehdguy378]

I’m pretty sure it has a fuel cap but I’ll write Harley a letter for you.

[@princesantos4544]

I want to trade my 48 😢

[@robd1859]

We don't need mid-roll commercials the causes to have erect while trying to skip. You should have put all the commercials at the beginning of the video

[@choo22choo]

22" Apes :)

[@robd1859]

Road Glide is ugly the street glide looks better. And I love the look of the new Fatboy but it's just not practical because it has no storage and no radio

[@sambuvca22]

nice dealership

[@thehdguy378]

It’s alright! Thank you
