All the upgrades/modifications I've done to my Harley Davidson Low Rider S(M8 Softail) - 2021 update

[@johnnybotello4304]

I know it’s an old video but damn it looked fn amazing

[@RidinDad]

Thanks man! 👊🏻

[@tmitchgoon2077]

My low rider s will look like this one day 😎🤘 I love everything you’ve done to it

[@RidinDad]

Thanks man!!! Gotta check out some recent videos too, way more changes including some pretty sweet powder coating!

[@santosbartolomey581]

Thanks guy for this update on your upgrades. Very nice upgrades. Those bags are something different. Many blessings & ride safe as well. 👍🏽

[@RidinDad]

Thank you man!!!

[@michaelcullen9216]

Welcome home, hope is was a good trip. I'm VERY interested in the Noco lead video. Can't wait to see that; and of course hearing how the bike did on the tail this year with the stage 2.

[@RidinDad]

It was a blast!! Only one thing that really disappointed me on the bike & you can for sure look forward to a video on that lol

[@BikesBeardsAndBrews]

Very cool line up of updates and I'm looking forward to the dragon vids!

[@RidinDad]

Thanks man!!! Unfortunately I was unable to go as fast as I would have liked to do to some poor choices in parts for the bike but you can bet there’s gonna be a video trash talking those very soon LOL

[@haroldblanton1555]

Very nice ride! Keep rolling on two! Be safe!

[@RidinDad]

Always man 🤙🏼 thank you, you too!

[@texasfedtexasbred1803]

Best intro I’ve seen 😂 you get a 👍🏻

[@RidinDad]

Hell yeah man!! Thanks! lol 👊🏻🤙🏼

[@LonerBoi88883]

Ur mechanic recommended keeping the stock tappet cuffs? I'd like to know his justification for that. I'm ripping my camchest open here soon, going with a s&s 475 chain drive cam, oil pump/plate, quickie pushrods, s&s tappet cuffs, and lifters.

[@RidinDad]

He said in his experience with all the builds the tappet cuffs don’t fail in any way unless you have a very high lift cam which you wouldn’t typically have on stock internals

[@LonerBoi88883]

@@RidinDad dam ya i was just reading forums that say that. o well already ordered

[@mikerivers4179]

As far as function, how do you like the saddlebags? Those are my next purchase but its a lot of cash if they aren't completely worth it

[@RidinDad]

I love them!!! I wish they were bigger truthfully because they’re smaller than they look. But the smallness let’s the bike still look thinner and nimble instead of having huge bags on the back. If you need a ton of storage go leather pros or something else but these are fantastic. And the quality is great for sure. I really love them!

[@jasonmachuca7172]

To many screens..I thought we rode bikes to get away from screens. Beautiful bike,good videos,catchy intro.

[@RidinDad]

Thanks. Power vision displays bike diagnostics. Phone is just there to stay out of my pockets. GPS is there for my Georgia/NC trips where I have no phone service to find gas stations. I don’t ride bikes to stay away from screens. I ride bikes because they are fun to take on curves and feel the road/world. If you don’t like screens you don’t need them. Everyone can have their own style setup for their own reasons

[@chunkyfxdls1878]

TBR exhaust definitely look and sound good but man do they suck performance wise! I went to a D&D and the torque was a night and day difference 😎💨💨

[@RidinDad]

I love the d&d bobcat soooo much but it cants upward for the m8’s and I can’t do that with the bags :( I have a Trask in route!!

[@RidinDad]

Oh that sucks man :/ at least you are good now!

[@ThePNWRiderWA]

If I add the trask cover how hard is the hd cover to get off and the trask on ?

[@RidinDad]

Hey! I have a whole video showing you my install process if you want to see what you’re getting in to but it’s not terrible. Annoying as hell for sure and tedious but doable without taking stuff off the bike

[@rollandklontz]

These helped me immensely when i did mine www.amazon.com/dp/B07P6PJ2LB?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

[@Steve-js8sr]

Hey riding dad! I can't find that head light. can you send a link? I'm trying to match my lights to all have a full time running halo.

[@RidinDad]

Yeah man, here’s the video I did on it. The link for the light is in the description! 👊🏻 New LED Headlight! Super bright light WITH HALO from XPCTD - A GREAT& CHEAP OPTION!

[@TrevorCardozo]

Hey maybe I missed you saying something about it, but could I ask your height for reference? I think I'd need some forward controls on mine when I get it. Thanks

[@RidinDad]

I’m about 5 08. I know a 6 ft rider who has mids also as well as several other taller people. Mids ont cramp you too much on these bikes. Helps to have your feet under you for ridability

[@TrevorCardozo]

@@RidinDad appreciate you getting back!

[@RidinDad]

No problem!

[@DylanNichols1989]

when you take off the Ferring in the front can you still use the stock headlight or no?

[@RidinDad]

Yes but it looks really bad due to the mounting plate that’s used

[@DylanNichols1989]

@@RidinDad damn... any good after market options? I'm so close to buying the 24 lowrider S but... the ferring is just aint it for me LOL

[@RidinDad]

Memphis shades road warrior is very popular. Saddlemen has a mini fxlrst fairing. There’s replica FXR fairings

[@daymaker5460]

Hey, I have a 2021 lowrider S crimson Vance & Hines high output etc. I am having a serious problem seeing traffic behind me, tailgaters, cops. My wrists hurt from twisting these things all day. Now I know looking cool is essential but I need to know if someone sells something better. Maybe not ugly but functional. Regards, James.

[@RidinDad]

I’m a little confused. Are you looking for mirror recommendations and some sort of cruise control ?

[@jamesperez4316]

What’s the pull back on the risers?

[@RidinDad]

I don’t remember off hand honestly

[@pin75us1]

Are the hp/tq numbers to the wheel?

[@RidinDad]

The ones I gave you ? Yes they are taken from a dyno run/tune on the bike at the time of the video

[@pin75us1]

@@RidinDad I have an Indian scout but I’m thinking getting low rider s.

[@RidinDad]

Indian makes some sweet bikes man. I never looked at the scout too much. Just the challenger and ftr. But their bikes are sweet

[@pin75us1]

Scouts are quick little bikes but want I wasn’t some bigger so I don’t like a kite on the freeway but I don’t lose performance either….check out my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpfIhYihiceIjrM

[@maxdemyanets5422]

It must be pain in the but cleaning the insects off that tool roll and trashin bag every time?

[@RidinDad]

I gotta say I assumed the same but I’m pleasantly surprised lol. Even after highway miles on my most recent tail of the dragon trip it wasn’t bad at all. I guess the material naturally doesn’t let them stick when they hit.

[@jackmetzger8644]

What’s the part # on that t shirt? I like it a lot

[@RidinDad]

The one I’m wearing with the bike or before hand? The Dixon is the newest long flannel they came out with about a month ago and the T-shirt is a dealer tee from my local Harley

[@jackmetzger8644]

@@RidinDad the local Harley one. Haven’t seen that design at any of mine in the area. Pretty cool.

[@RidinDad]

Yeah the dealer t’s are always different. I like this one a lot!

[@bronxrider9388]

I definitely have a question about the magnum shielding clutch cable! I’m looking to do the same riser height and pull back as you have it. I wanna know the length that you went with. I know you said you went with a +2 with the adapter for the brake line. Any help is much appreciated!

[@RidinDad]

I thought I said it but I could be wrong, I honestly forget how much I did because it’s the same clutch cable that I replaced with my first set of different risers about a year ago. I truthfully have no idea. I’m sorry man

[@bronxrider9388]

@@RidinDad No worries, I appreciate you for letting me know the truth instead of throwing numbers in the air. Keep up the great content!!

[@RidinDad]

No problem man. And thank you!! Good luck !

[@bradlozano2571]

Looks like you have about 9k in parts and labor in your 18K Bike....👍😎

[@RidinDad]

I enjoy modifying my bike. And I do almost all of it myself. I’m sure your bike looks super awesome too man. Thanks for watching👍🏻

[@atrain882]

Every clutch and brake lever from top to the bottom pegs everything I got and read for motorsports damn shit cost me $900 to do my whole bike decked out in Flo Motorsports Pegs levers shifters levers all the etc well worth it if you can afford it I had to save up to afford it so I’m not no rich fuck I’m a poor fuck with 4 Harley’s

[@RidinDad]

Flo is not cheap for sure but they’re also cheaper than a lot of other options. For example the levers I have are almost 100 bucks cheaper than the LSS shorty levers I had prior

[@atrain882]

@@RidinDad I agree brother flow is the best in my opinion I have it for a back brake a shifter lever on my foot clutch lever brake lever like you have the same ones that bend forward so if you break and fall down they don’t snap all the controls on my bike or made buffalo except my handlebars are made by fly racing for dirt bikes I got my bike built considering it to a dirtbike build but a Harley with cams motor work and all that so you are definitely correct I love your stories I love your content keep doing what you’re doing but yeah all that flow shit that I had done to my bike because I even bought just not the tow pegs the whole fucking bracket for each back brake shifter pedal has its own bracket all that shit back pegs passenger pegs brackets and red pegs because my bike is black and read all that shit cost me like fucking almost 900 but I’m not going to be at because it was well worth it I love Everything that I got from the flow definitely worth it as long as you can afford it or just do a piece by piece if you can’t afford everything at once I got lucky and was able to afford everything at once so I bought them all at once which probably will never happen again in my life because I got the worst shit luck in the world if it wasn’t for bad luck my ass wouldn’t have any but love your channel you’re a great dude seems like a great father great family member great husband seems like you got your shit together and I love your channel because it seems like you tell the truth💯🤘
