2023 Road Glide 3 - Installing Handle Bars

[@superduty131]

KST is the go to company for handlebars they have a great install video on KZbin.

[@thomasseeley4043]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I had the split view mirrors on my Ultra Limited but Harley had only in silver. Thanks to you I ordered the black from Amazon at a savings of about $45. Thanks

[@northbysoutheast5439]

RoadGlide 3 is going to be a big hit. Just wish it had a tourpack. Beautiful bike 😎👍

[@HOOLIGANfilmz]

There's gotta be a trunk. It's a really good looking trike. LED turn signals up front?

[@donniewieburg]

@@HOOLIGANfilmz LED’s all around. Check out my other videos for my lighting installs.

[@donniewieburg]

Dude, it is on fire! Im okay without the tour pack. Plenty of room in the trunk and I can strap down a good sized bad on the rack if need be.

[@1022SLB]

It would look cool with a chop tour pack!

[@kellyarnett4062]

For $34,000 it should have a tour pack.

[@sinister_l5p_dmax]

I have a 20 road glide special with chopped tour pack as well. I’m really liking this new trike. I may have to make the plunge. Thanks for the videos. Helps a lot! 👍

[@donniewieburg]

Yeah man!! That’s what I did!! Great move for me!!

[@daleclarkjr]

She’s coming along very nicely can’t wait for more content 🤙🏽

[@donniewieburg]

Thanks, Dale!!

[@paulbronnenberg2075]

Thanks for sharing ! Looks real good. I am still waiting for delivery ...4 weeks and counting...

[@donniewieburg]

Congrats, man!! Hang in there! It’s worth the wait! 👊🏼😎

[@MidLifeStyleTwins]

(Subscribed) Guess what I am getting soon!!!?! Loved seeing the height of handle bars that I am looking to buy for mine on your motorcycle (I always appreciate a good visual of the end result before I buy). I will not be installing them myself though.

[@donniewieburg]

Awesome!! Glad you like the channel!! Enjoy those new bars!! 👊🏼😎

[@keithclever5810]

Beautiful trike love the mods you done to it. Ride safe and God bless

[@donniewieburg]

Thanks 👍

[@mattwells7035]

I had a ‘18 Spyder f3T, then a ‘16 Freewheeler, it rode pretty harsh and the old lady said the passenger floorboards were too high even with a tall boy seat. So went back to a ‘20 Spyder F3L. Watching your channel is making me want a RG3.

[@donniewieburg]

Hey, people do what people do!! 😂 Thanks for checking out my videos, Matt!! Stay tuned because I’m putting on floorboard extensions AND multi-position mount for the passenger floorboard. You can move the passenger floorboards up, down, tilt and it moves them outward. So yeah, more to come!!

[@sonjaoneal2]

I have a 2018 F3T, had a 2008 GS back in the day. This is the 1st trike that made me really want to make a change. I just might pull the trigger.

[@donniewieburg]

@@sonjaoneal2 go check one out, if you can find one!! They’re pretty sweet!

[@trikemike7291]

That was one of the first installment on my bike that I did was change the position of my arms. Those handlebars are going to make your rides so so much better.

[@donniewieburg]

Yes sir!! Took it around the block and made the world of difference!!

[@hollywood93c87]

Bars look great ✌️

[@bigjohnson9561]

I’ll probably make that my next modification after installing the mid step I just ordered. Those handlebars look great!

[@donniewieburg]

Thanks man! Absolutely love the bars.

[@ChrisGlides]

I really like what you are doing with your bike. I have been sharing your content with my friends. Great vision on how you are customizing it. I may purchase mine this week if it arrives.

[@donniewieburg]

I really appreciate that!! Good luck with your pursuit and thanks for sharing my stuff!! I also started a FB group for the RG3! It’s title is Harley-Davidson Road Glide 3. Thanks again and stay tune! 👊🏼😎

[@ChrisGlides]

Looking good 👍🏾

[@donniewieburg]

Appreciate that!!

[@fabianslay5734]

Donnie I love the bars but I think you should pull them back towards you a little because you will start to feel some lower back fatigue and strain on long rides due to the handlebar position. The position looks like you're stretched out too much with little bend in your arms. I think with a little more bend in your arms and a backrest you will be more comfortable.

[@deanbedetti5375]

That was my observation as well. The comfort triangle is stretched out forward a bit much. Just my opinion . BTW- I'm taking my 2023 tri-glide 120th anniversary trike into the shop "today" and will be dealing with a "fitment specialist" who helps customers with proper bar size and placement. @donniewieburg thank you for your content.

[@dieselhog6246]

46 yo vet with some nerve damage and shoulder issues and am seriously considering this bike because of the lack of confidence I am feeling riding my ultra classic. I love road glide and was looking at the RG limited but the RG 3 is tempting.

[@donniewieburg]

I feel ya, brother. Myself, have both shoulders separated, and continuously have to work them or it will get worse. Honestly, I wasn’t at that “age” of becoming a trike owner, but I’m sure glad I sucked it up and did it. I’ll never look back at that decision! I feel so much better, physically and mentally. When you’re ready, you’ll be fine. I don’t feel long rides the day after like I used too. Good luck with everything, and thanks for commenting!! Appreciate you!!

[@RafaelJimenez-hz9gu]

Sir, your bike looks sick! enjoy.

[@donniewieburg]

Thanks, Rafael!! Appreciate your comment!! 👊🏼😎

[@brada4018]

I'm trying buy one now, put the order in 4 weeks ago this Tuesday and still waiting! As far as the handle bars , pull them back about an inch or so.

[@donniewieburg]

Awesome! Patience is a virtue!!! Hang in there. It will come! As far as the bars, I have installed new ones. 14” KST Pathfinders l, which are taller than these. Set to where they fit me better. Congrats on the RG3 order!! 👊🏼😎

[@powerhaulic]

Been watching your video since you got the rg3. I ordered my Grey Haze / black rg3 Feb 23th, being delivered this week. Hope to have the bars and led upgrades done to ride to Leesburg rally Saturday.......we shall see lol

[@donniewieburg]

I hope you do!! I’ll be there Saturday!! Appreciate your comment, Keith and hanging with my channel!! 👊🏼😎

[@tellytruth8554]

It's a personal choice on height. My concern would be how your arms feel in full turn position.

[@DyinG_BreeD_MediA]

I dig them mirrors

[@DyinG_BreeD_MediA]

@@donniewieburg very cool

[@Leo-ed4hv]

The bike looks great. My dealership is saying the max bar you can put on is 12'' without having to extend the brake & clutch lines. Did you have to do anything with the lines putting a 13'' bar on?

[@donniewieburg]

Yes I did. I explain that in the video.

[@mikehall526]

#1 Subscriber.... haha did you have to get longer clutch or brake cables??? I absolutely love my 23 RG3

[@donniewieburg]

The way I installed them, I didn’t have to. Some people have opted to go ahead and get them though.

[@sandmanrides4318]

I love the look of that trike. What mount do you use for your cup holder on the pillion handhold?

[@donniewieburg]

Ciro cup holder and a Ciro universal mount. Both on Amazon, Sandman.

[@kevinstrickland6401]

Hey Donnie, do the Souixicide Villian bars for the Road Glide fit the RG3? Being this bike is a 23 model its hard to get an answer as to what fits from their websites. Any help will be appreciated. God Bless....

[@raulparra5602]

Thanks Donnie. I just ordered Factory 47 Signature 14in bars but was wondering if i should have gone a little shorter. How tall are you?

[@donniewieburg]

I’m 6 ft.

[@donniewieburg]

I’m actually thinking of going 16”.

[@DanielRobertson-w3w]

Hey, really like your videos, one question, do you have any suggestion on upgrading you seat? I would really appreciate your help.

[@donniewieburg]

I run a HD Tallboy seat. There’s a ton of options out there. I’d find something comfortable for long hauls.

[@geedubb-q1u]

That’s one bitchn Trike. Good move on the bars. Nice

[@donniewieburg]

Thanks, Guy!! Yeah this thing is a beast!! Appreciate you dropping a comment!! 👊🏼😎

[@dimaggiodt]

Had those mirrors, if you ride in all weather, the finish will wear out after a season or 2. Otherwise they're awsome.

[@jerryhubbard4461]

You have the right. Any taller and in my opinion look like S. When I changed the bars on my 2021 Tri Glide, my hands are right at the top of the fairing. Not above. To me, bars above the fairing do not match the lines of the bike and just don't look right.

[@donniewieburg]

Thanks, Jerry! Right there with ya.

[@3406cat]

Hi I'm 6'3" how tall are you so I know how tall I can go up with my bars. BAD ASS TRIKE by the way mine will be here in two weeks 😊 I can not wait its also black on black!!! Like yours

[@donniewieburg]

Im 5’11” and I have 13” bars. For you, 18” would put you in the sweet spot. Thanks for your comment!! 👊🏼😎

[@I3putt]

Did u have to get longer brake cables

[@stevearmstrong7649]

Donnie Did you have to replace your wires and cables? Or were you able to use the stock ones

[@donniewieburg]

Clutch extension and cable extensions.

[@dougfaulkner6799]

In the future use some wire wax in your bars to make pulling your wires a breeze

[@hellcatQ]

What did you do to fix the issue of the hole being on passenger side of the bars and the nipple being on the driver side on the neck? I just did my bars and it was a a task. I watched your video and you didnt mention it but i can clearley see the hole on the throttle side Of your bars so you had to have had the issue as well. I ask cause some say grind nipple i just made a hole on drivers side of bars. Beautiful rg3 also👍😎👍

[@donniewieburg]

I tapped the pin down into the body of the clamp. It’s not needed.

[@hellcatQ]

@@donniewieburg had no idea u could just tap it down . Smh🤣🤣🤣

[@donniewieburg]

@@hellcatQ yeah it’s real simple and easy.

[@bigdog3495]

Bars look cool actually your whole bike is cool ! I like the 13” height. How tall are you ?

[@donniewieburg]

I’m 5’11”. I have 14” KST pathfinders on now. Love them.

[@paulscor69]

What made you grab this trike and how much different is it than 2 wheels to get used to

[@donniewieburg]

Hey Paul. I’ve been thinking of a trike for a while now, but none really grabbed my attention. I’m coming off a 2020 Road Glide Special and when I saw this at the dealership, I was sold. I’m a shark nose fairing guy and this hit it for me. I test rode this and a TriGlide back and forth to see what I liked. This, to me, was more agile and sporty. It took me about a week to really feel comfortable on it because of the riding dynamic differences. Once you experience the ease of operating it, you tend to feel more relaxed. After 3 weeks now, I love it. The confidence I have now is life changing. Not having to hold up 1100 lbs. in stop and go traffic is my big ah-ha moment. Please check out my earlier videos that I did and discussed these issues. Thanks for your comment!!

[@paulscor69]

Will do. Love it

[@RonHood-g3z]

Donnie, did you remove the roll pin and if I remove it will it.void any warrenty?

[@donniewieburg]

You just knock it down in. Will not void warranty, brother.

[@miketaylor6340]

On you're handed bars you have to change your clutch and Break line?

[@donniewieburg]

I did not. In the video I explain what I had to do. And some of the steps to move those into a better position.

[@clydeholiday5907]

Does it matter or we think are you comfortable with it that's the only thing you have to ask

[@keithforman7921]

Hey, I really enjoyed watching this. I had 2015 freewheeler that I went pretty crazy with. 23" front wheel, rear fender delete, fat rear tires, 16" apes, pin stripping, air ride and more. Fast forward, I sold that a while ago, I just ordered a blue on black RG3 and have been buying parts waiting for its arrival. My question is, could you share what bars you bought" I'm going to go with LA Coppers Twin Peaks to match my Street Glide, but can't find anyone who can confirm if they are the same as a Road Glide or as a Freewheeler as far as the clamping diameter. Is it 1-1/4" straight through or 1" like my freewheeler was. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Keith from Jersey

[@donniewieburg]

Thanks for your comment! It is 1 1/4” clamp diameter for the RG3. Sounds like you got a good list of parts going!! I’m installed the 13” LA Choppers hefty twin peaks.

@Donnie Wieburg thanks Donnie, I ordered the bars, and they came in today. Do you happen to remember or know what length clutch cable and brake line you ordered.

Dude, I have those same mirrors on the RGS. Oh and my wife is clinging to your new vids like crazy as she is gearing up for hers. Imma have to check out Veteran Biker. Kinda sucks that you cannot add pics in comments on KZbin, because I'd love to exchange photos and ideas on these RG's. I'd put my email here but I've seen enough foreign sex shows in the Navy and I don't need that in my inbox. That and I don't need to enlarge my breasts, penis, hair or government health care. LOL So, now you've got my wife looking at mini-apes whereas she is not a fan at all. She was asking your height as she's a little concerned about her leg length but she made me pause to check out your love triangle, I mean rider triangle. ROFL Just kidding. She was very happy to see that your legs were at least pushed a little forward on stock boards. She was not a big fan of how her legs were at right angles on the Tri Glide. Thank you so much for posting these vids on the RG3 from both of us! Oh I see you did the low profile tank console already or so it seems. Damn, did I miss that video? Anyway we look forward to the next vid. Oh before I forget, my wife wanted to request that you put the camera on the side of the road facing the golfers and do some drive-by vids because there is a similar neighbor she wants to do that to. LOL Keep the knees in the breeze and stay safe to come home to a Juice Box and Crayons! LMAO

I did not, Chris. You have to move the clutch cable out of its clip on the neck and remove the plastic bridge where the cable connectors sit in the housing area under the gauges. Also, pull the brake line up. There’s play there. Can’t go over 14’s doing this.
