Don't Buy A New Harley-Davidson- Here's Why.

[@jamesbecker5977]

This is exactly why I love this channel...preserving the older bikes. Much respect!

[@VPCustoms]

Thank you!

[@forsaken1776]

I just got myself a 24 year old bike. crazy thing is it's pretty much new. I have it being checked out at local shop to make sure it's safe. The I RIDE

[@cobralife0417]

Mom and dad having fun with the kids. Love it! Never cut that content out!

[@jackrobinson8945]

I can't imagine how much all these mods cost but as long as you've got the cash and are having fun keep doing what you're doing. 2 of my bikes are 20 yrs old and are basically unchanged from when I bought them. Enjoy yourselves guys!

[@VPCustoms]

Thank you! We can't leave anything alone!

[@davidcarroll7193]

If you really want to “love” your older bike again, put a cam in it, that really changes things and it’s less expensive than an exhaust system. Love your channel it’s a lot of fun 🤩

[@robertcorrigan3816]

You guy's really have too much fun from Time to time. Great contents.

[@07glide5]

its a Harley Davidson its gotta have true duals!!😎😁

[@CharlesJrSmith]

Great job Tanya, the seat and shorty looks great and about 4 solos for you both

[@ryanm8456]

I had the hydraulic clutch on my 2020 Street Glide I had. I didn’t care for it at all. I have a 22 RGS now. I am so happy they went back to a cable clutch. I like it a lot more. The hydraulic clutch can be issues for multiple reasons. It another fluid that you have to keep track of on the bike. Plus the cable clutch is so much easier to work.

[@jimwest3891]

Nice work putting mods on the bike!! As for new exhaust...I love duals, and especially with extended bags!! Great, fun video as always!!!

[@shawnsweeney9960]

Another great video!! I say keep the duals, they look and sound the best!!

[@michealcollier4237]

I have a 19 road glide, I love my dual exhaust.

[@craigjackman7615]

I think a 2 into one would be a great addition. You could always do the dummy pipe on the other side. Another idea is to paint the inside of the funny with a flat black to make it look like it’s a true duel.

[@Jules750..]

Iam absolutely loving your channel

[@VPCustoms]

Thank you!

[@danbarrette9888]

Many you tubers got the new Harley’s yes. What gets me there are a couple of them that swear the 24’s are the absolute best nothing to do because Harley made the most amazing upgrades. Then they are getting aftermarket seat the exhaust, windshield and suspension and waiting for the software to dyno it. Wait I thought everything was the best. I’ll keep my 14 flhtp with the changes I did and it’s going to take me anywhere I want to go.

[@saddlemenusa]

That's a refresh for sure- looks great guys!

[@VPCustoms]

It changed the entire bike! 🫡👊🏼

[@JDHannah-qr2cy]

Have to say that the mics make a big difference in a good way. It's also neet to see that Paps lets you do work on his bike as well. Great job and thanks for all you do for our entertainment!!

[@VPCustoms]

It's gotta be hard for him to relinquish control, but he trusts us! 🤣

[@tdog5878]

Tanya definitely has it going on!

[@billyfinch7341]

The M8 is an amazing motor, customizing Harleys has been going on since the beginning of time, this may be hard to believe but before aftermarket companies we actually had to fabricate all of the parts that were not stock, I know unbelievable right?? and the new bikes... don't knock them til you tried them

[@VPCustoms]

Not knocking them, just so many people covering them!

[@jeffreeves2456]

A 2/1 exhaust can still be used. Just put a ghost pipe on the left side.

[@Panhead_Andy]

Exhaust choice really depends on 2 things, the build and rider preference. Is the motor stock?

[@keithjaynes7382]

Leave the dual exhaust and upgrade the radio, Soudstream makes a great upgraded head unit.

[@alleyoop1234]

I would love to see a dyno comparison between a good 2 into 1, and a good dual exhaust just to see exactly what is to be gained, or lost..

[@VPCustoms]

It's pretty substantial depending on the engine build. Check out JET films latest video from it. Almost 30 wheel HP on a 131TC

[@timdavis8154]

I have a 2016RGS with hydraulic clutch and a 2004 FXDLI with a cable clutch. I like the hydraulic over cable.

[@VPCustoms]

It's definitely smoother!

[@MaxJW-ln4xm]

Like the shorty levers ! Marvel Kid just put some on his Low Rider ST. As far as the 2 into 1 exhaust, it is a quandary. If Eric's Dad is happy with his bags & and the cutouts, leave them alone ! But if he's ready & willing to put out some $$$$ for new shorter bags, then the 2 into 1 make more sense. Squeeze a bit more hp out of that engine & expose the rear wheel, pulley, and belt guard. It is always a matter of astestics and personal preference. I'll keep watching

[@juanhuttoe4517]

The bike looks great, myself, I think, keep the duals.

[@BarryCantey-oo6wr]

I'm just say I'm not a big fan of the 2024 I think the older bikes look better I have a 2015 street glide and a 2011 road king I'm from south carolina home of myrtle beach bike week I like what you guys do to your bikes I do all the work to my bikes too keep up the good work

[@stephenpiasecki7984]

my bike is 18 years old. wont test drive new bikes dont want to stop loving what i have!!

[@abehatt7887]

I’m with you. Mines an 05 Electraglide wouldn’t change it for nothing.

[@williamjohnson6624]

Yes sir i have Memphis shades 6.5 black out windshield game over.

[@VPCustoms]

Best in the game!

[@RJSerp]

Nice work! Definitely keep the duals with those extended bags!

[@Jhood0729_jerrymesser]

I got rid of my 18 RGS for my 23 LowRider st love the ST miss my RG some days tho

[@jordie03]

This was a fun video to watch. Leave the dual exhaust alone. This is a dresser or bagger whatever you wanna call it. Performance bagger or not leave the dual exhaust on please.

[@bobfoster5659]

Its really cool that you guys do this stuff together. Im into bikes, cars, trucks, and just about anything with an engine. I like to fabricate and build my own s**t. My wife......not so much. Love your videos. Keep them coming.

[@VPCustoms]

Thank you! It's nice to share it with each other for sure!

[@jpvazquez25]

Great video

[@ItchyBurrito]

No way! 2 into 1s look like crap on a bagger

[@maconmiles2057]

I purchased a new street glide..... a 2023 street glide special. My dealer got from HD because they had some extras. I got it because it was 5k knocked off. I do really like the new street glide fairing, but not so much the road glide fairing. But I just really like the gauges and the old school dash looks way better because it is painted and the audio is far better. The inner fairing of the new bikes looks so cheap and the audio is not very good.

[@VPCustoms]

Congrats on the purchase!!

[@gvs1173]

GUESS I'm just weird that way. I just buy them and keep them, all the way back from my stock '76 FLH, to my '91 FXR, (now with a crate 120" engine), to my '11 Road Glide, (103 upgrade, great for the day), to my '20 Road Glide which I shoehorned a cammed 131" crate engine into. Lots of pep, stupid get up and go, think this will be my last new bike. Sorry, no red leather stitching though. If you've got money to burn, just keep buying new. If you don't, just hang onto them and upgrade. If you learn to do the work yourself, it's really cost effective

[@VPCustoms]

Not weird at all! Nice collection!

[@quickshoe6]

I got my new bike 2020. Keeping it for awhile. Probably keep dual exhaust. 2 into 1 is very cool though

[@VPCustoms]

Your bike is sweet, Ray!

[@thomclark7641]

I have a V&H 2-1 Pro Pipe on my 14 Road King. I two cut outs under the bags and at first I didn't like it but three beers later I forgot what I was concerned about. V&H doesn't offer a ghost pipe for this model so I'll move on to my next concern.

[@sfleminghd]

I have a D&D 2 into 1 with the ghost pipe on my 13 cvo RG. I love it but I hated the price. After installed, I forgot about the price once I started it

[@stacysid2]

IMHO I like the duals

[@fpillc3886]

2 into 1 is for cruisers not touring

[@easyglider1307]

You can do a 2 into 1 and have a Ghost pipe to preserve the dually exhaust look

[@richperry8552]

Great video as always.. I cringed when you referenced C F though.. that channel turned into a weekly infomercial..

[@walt1748]

Keep the duals!

[@michaelhill1107]

Keep the duel pipes .... The 2into1 is so used up .. like skulls and flames were ...hell 🤔 .. I guess just like Meat hooks and now T bars ... The shark fin sissy bar....I reckon it's all been done.... But the duels look so much better going down the road ..

[@davidneuwirth7025]

Keep the Duel exhaust but upgrade to a better one if not already the best. I thought you guys were going to say Performance suspension with the reservoir shocks poking out the back lol. 🥤🥤🍺🍺

[@TENDOY10]

Thank you, me too!

[@rekondaddy8109]

Would you ever put engine guards or highway bars on your Night train? I have an 02 and didn’t know if that would negate the badassarie of a Night train. Just a random question.

[@VPCustoms]

I think they would be awesome to have, especially for some highway pegs

[@jamiejones8559]

Two into one with a ghost pipe. I'm liking the sissy bar.

[@SuperNova1969-k9p]

I'm with y'all on the new shit,hell be like me one is a03,one is a 91 and one is not sure yet,haha!!!

[@CharlesJrSmith]

Leave it duals

[@courier77]

Love the paint

[@VPCustoms]

Thank you!

[@brendanjames7122]

I'll be keeping my '92 FLHS going as long as I ride. Can't afford a newer one 😅 She may not have the power of the M8s but she'll never let me down. Honestly, the only thing I dislike about it is the seat. But not about to spend $800 on one.

[@VPCustoms]

Saddlemens are a lot less! Give them a look!

[@brendanjames7122]

@VPCustoms looks like the only seat they offer for my bike is the Profiler. Would probably be ok for me but I occasionally have a passenger, doesn't look like it offers much seating for them.

[@barriefindlay6728]

I have a now M8 Ha Ha2024 softail standard

[@steveo7767]

I have the 22 RG ST upgrading it instead of spending 40k on a CVO plus mines is faster!!!!!!!!! 🤩😜🤪🤘🤙👍 My 19 RG Special I had a 2 into 1 on it, plus you can put the 2024 bags on the older bikes .....huh huh whatcha think about that!?

[@michaelsellers2675]

That's a beautiful bike. I'm just not digging the 2024 Harley. I got a 2013 Uktra Classic. I'm happy with it. I'm 60 years old. This will be my last bike. But running duels I would keep as true duels. I seen a Road Glide couple a days ago. It had the two into one. It look strange like something was missing. It sounds bad ass. But just didn't look right. That's just my opinion.

[@jeffhennings6579]

Nice video guys good upgrades

[@VPCustoms]

Thank you!

[@robertalba6398]

I did two into one mid and left the cut outs doesn’t bother me

[@fpillc3886]

Oh good I'm not the only one, will not be buying one. Going 2022 or later and will build to taste.Don't need a laptop on my bike

[@Italian_bagger]

I’ve never been a fan of the two to one.. I think the bike looks great the way it is… Just my opinion

[@johnmccormick6689]

… You know it’s like when you roll up on a lemonade stand and them kids are looking at you, fists raised excited. It’s your sole obligation at that point is to stop by their lemonade and then b4 & jas you leave make sure you lay down some rubber for them so that they’ve got a lifetime story

[@shane8493]

Duals because it has stretched bags & two into one doesn’t look good on stretch bags. If he changed the bags out then yes

[@Dropkicksouthy]

Klockworks all day. Only bad mod made. Rest looks great.

[@paullee4042]

You guys are a hoot, were sick of the 2024 harley baggers too.

[@VPCustoms]

🤣👊🏼

[@shawng7902]

Why buy a new one. Got my 2002 off my dad about 12yrs ago. Barley spent 15 grand on it since i paid for it I'd say. Its not really an economic decision anyway. New stock vs 10yrs old with 10 grand in extras is the question.

[@raymondladue1140]

It's a freaking baggar. Leave it alone

[@mdiebel897]

They make a fake muffler for the left side when you have 2 into 1 exhaust.

[@timmccullough3093]

Keep the dual exhaust.

[@HDR20]

I am sick of the the 2024s as well and they haven't been out a few months. I have no desire for a 2024 though.

[@mkb3580]

Looks good..

[@xcronex]

lol wth! I was looking for this video last night ... missed you two! @6:48 heheheeee .... Hmmmm definitely two into one but the bags would need to switch out cause of that notch.

[@VPCustoms]

That's my pet peeve as well!

[@kennycunningham8721]

To me a Harley Davidson is a sport bike with a two into one pipe so keep it real and stay dual pipes.

[@tylerarchuleta4207]

Gotta stay true dual exhaust..

[@jeremybishop3519]

You can buy stage 2 parts for price of that RBW. 744$ is a ton of money for something like that, my opinion anyway. Just give me the motor HP lol

[@VPCustoms]

That's fair, just an easy 5 minute install of this. And it is a pretty wild upgrade. Definitely recommend giving it a shot if you have the chance.

[@timbarnett3898]

If talking about new Harley needs chance up, how about the new 2025 Gold Wing thats not a Honda, you hear about 2000, 8cyl, 4cam shafts, 4 valves per cyl., an much more!

[@jimweagant8920]

Good video 👍👍🍺🍺

[@solusquinto3086]

Exhaust 2-in-1? Hell NO 😈😎

[@youmustbethistall5861]

After watching today's vid, it's easy to understand why Eric just talks to himself; that was more manic than a two year old Chris Farley hopped up on an entire Bag-O-Halloween candy and a 6-Pack of Red Bull. Even so, today's TWSS Rating (outside of all the obvious choices) is 4 - winner being, "I know what I did to get it off!" Clearly, NOT your first time. 🤣Ride safe friends!

[@VPCustoms]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 just talking to myself!

[@brett8636]

Leave the dual

[@stevecurry5785]

I cant even afford to change or clean my mind Let alone afford the price of a new Harley or truck now Especially now im on a pension That thinks i still live in the early 80s When a shoe salesman or factory workers could afford to buy , pay the mortgage on a house and feed their family on one wage So i will be keeping my 1990 FXSTC till they bury it with me As being a boomer i have watched this country circling the drain faster and faster since the late 50s and its sad to watch all our freedoms going down the toilet every year

[@johnmccormick6689]

And you should’ve done a burn out on Papa‘s bike because you know your channel does incorporates a higher dose of burnout B roll then nearly any other channel besides like karusi the eastcoastin guys and that Renegade crew out of Texas.

If you have the extra 40K to spend , then go ahead lol, but if not , keep what you have. Don't get me wrong, the new 2024's look great, but the older ones look just as awesome also 🤘🏻💯.
