Harley-Davidson Road Glide Swingarm Install (Speed Dealer)

[@BlockheadMoto]

This thing is well thought out! Spots for spools (easy chain maintenance,) high quality chain adjusters, and 3 points of attachment for suspension ( +1 & -1) Well done, Speed Dealers!

[@TexanWolverine]

whats the point of this new swing arm ? hows it better than the original ? Also I believe those are called Dykes.

[@markfastuca9915]

Those are called, diagonal, cutting pliers, with a long handle, commonly known as Dykes.

[@jonhigdon]

Kruesi's SG is sick AF! He's got these guys beat no competition.

[@molckbradley]

That swingarm is a masterpiece!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Very well done!

[@MyNorseArt]

@@BlockheadMoto so you are not allowed to say swingarm on youtube??

[@Kricket2390]

Your videos are a true oasis for the mind and soul. Thank you for your creativity and inspiration!⛸️🥝🍄

[@lawrencefranck9417]

Wow an upgrade part that is actually an upgrade. Not just trinket buying.

[@JorgeL1]

Is it an upgrade if it’s just cosmetic? 9lb weight saving isn’t going to make a difference on its own.

[@stephanebrochu2627]

wow ! really nice part !

[@haneymoto]

Love the adjusters, This is going to be sick.

[@deucezwylde]

WOW gorgeous bike! Imagine the tank matching the swingarm 🎉 anyways no matter how you do it it’s a stunner already! Love the work guys also love how you always keep it lite and fun stay young at heart and thanks for sharing your journey! ✌️

Thanks Deuce!

[@danieldhodges]

That is Sick, that piece of art work in anodized gold to match Ohlins would be perfection on my 24 RG 😍, thanks for the video, yall funny AF too.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Def a piece of art, looks great in gold!

[@lonecowboyadventures]

I really like the lower shock mounts where you can adjust it by 1 inch up or down

[@BlockheadMoto]

For sure, cool to have that adjustability!

[@dennisguill6746]

Those are dikes lol

[@Roadkill0033]

So far I'm liking Kruesi build better but the swingarm yall choose looks so much better than the one he put on.

The "Uncle Timmy" story was SO wrong🤣😂! ROFLMFAO!!! Dykes is what those wire cutters are called!

[@freddieRODZ]

9 sec baby!!!!!!! 😂😂. Let’s goo

[@OakwoodCustoms]

A teacher at MMI used to call them “alternate life style pliers”

[@DonniePrasch-ip9it]

Korea’s swing arm is also impressive!

[@davidcarroll7193]

Holland pliers😂😂😂😂

[@fastisalifestyle4164]

We call them "alternative lifestyle cutters". 2024, people tend to suck, so we found a work around. Y'all are more than welcome to adapt the term haha

Are those solid bushings? Will they last? I could be wrong but don’t factory ones have bearings? But they look sweet.

[@sickwideglide]

Spherical bearings my friend

Swingarm is cool,kinda like Kruesi's T1000 better

Sorry Ryan. Blocks swingarm looks better. 😮

[@BlockheadMoto]

Def a good looking swingarm!

[@davemeshamsr6000]

Does it come in like a brass color? Or other than red color? And will it fit on a 2022 street glide st? I guess the benefit is just weight reduction or is there any other benefit?

[@NickAlati]

So what's the advantages of this swing arm vrs stock

[@BlockheadMoto]

3 suspension settings, spools for chain maintenance, lighter weight, quality chain adjusters. More info can be found on their site! It's a quality piece for sure 👍🏼

[@robertlumsden942]

what was the total time to install.

[@lifeofjustinjames]

[@BlockheadMoto]

[@codyhaggard2845]

Correction…. FYI The rear shock mounting hole is stock position, the middle hole is 3/4” forward and the most forward hole is another 3/4” forward making it 1 1/2” higher than stock position for shock mounting.

[@harleygrady5054]

What is the swing arm for? I know he mentioned that it would lower the overall weight. Does it improve the overall performance of the bike?

[@BlockheadMoto]

Multiple benefits over stock including 3 suspension settings, spools for chain maintenance, lighter weight, quality chain adjusters. More info can be found on their site! 👍🏼

$2800 to remove 9 lbs of unsprung weight. You gotta really want it for that price. I would love to know if you can feel a difference in the way it handles. And sadly that beautiful swing arm will be mostly covered by the saddle bags.
