The reality is this...when we get a new or new to you Harley Davidson, you are already thinking about the upgrades. In this video, I am suggesting there are 12 DO NOT DO Upgrades...UNLESS. Check it out and then leave your thoughts and comments on upgrades you have made or will not make on your Harley Davidson motorcycle.

2019 Road King. Installed Legends back and cartridge in the front. I have arthritis in my hands, the stock front setup would send a sharp hit to my hands on bumps. After the legends cartridge install that sharp hit went away and my hands don't hurt. Also I noticed the bike is a little quicker to lean and or change direction. Been well worth it for me. I also installed Klockworks 19.5 inch windshield and dropped about 70% of the buffeting above 65mph. Thanks for the video.

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I just got the front Axeos installed yesterday afternoon. I've only ridden about 30 miles with them so far...but wow what a huge improvement. I'm looking forward to getting out over the weekend and getting the bike into some curves. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

[@scottlin777]

That's a good list and I have done a few of them. Such as headlamp, turn signals, stage 1, suspension, windshield.

Saddlemen? Like sitting on concrete. I had my stock seat rebuilt at Mean City Cycles…perfection.

Is that the saddlemen gripper seat? Does that seat you same distance from tank as stock or further back? I've been thinking about upgrading from stock to saddlemen. Thanks for the info and update.

[@HDVIBE]

The seat in this video is the Touring Step Up. I do also have the Saddlemen SDC Pro Gripper seat. The SDC sets you back farther than stock. The touring step up is about the same as stock in the regular reach. It is also available as a reach seat. Check out my saddlemen Playlist. I cover several seats in those videos. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👊👍

[@NVARider]

Pretty much the same list of things I want to do. Great presentation. :) Suspension is next. Just trying to decide what to go with. Leaning towards Ohlins.

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Suspension really makes a huge improvement. I just got the front upgraded late last week with Legends Axeos. All I can say is awesome. It's like a different bike from a ride and handling perspective. No more waggle in turns, and man it's planted. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👊👍

[@scottlin777]

I have Legends and really love them. Lifetime warrantee and made in America (Sturgis, S.D.)

[@HDVIBE]

@scottlin777 Yes sir. Thanks for watching and sharing. I've now gotten the front Axeos put in...wow. The bike rides like it's on rails. ✌️👍👊

[@Darrells..]

All great points rick,have you thought about a saddleman heated seat??keep up the good work 👍👍

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks Darrell. I do have a Saddlemen heated Road Sofa that I put on in the winter. Another great item to keep riding year round here in the Midwest. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👍👊

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

[@jasonbreedlove495]

A fun video to watch, thanks. A great list, and id suggest not to install handlebars that sit your body better in the saddle. Highway pegs, to really allow for more comfort and riding positions. Just ordered a bassani hideaway 2x2 header, so so ready to ditch that cat.

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks Jason for watching and adding to the unless list. Getting rid of that CAT is awesome. Ride safe and enjoy. ✌️👊👍

[@tnhunts2759]

No Road King love in the touring segment? Sad. Haha. Pre-late '19 id suggest at bare minimum the oil pump/cam support plate upgrade as soon as possible to get rid of the well known oil pump issues on early M8 bikes. Great time to do the cam and other supporting work as well. I went Woods 22XE on my 107. Factory header (gutted) is good up to 150+hp, but if the factory shields look isnt your thing I get it. Sounds amazing with slip-ons, run the DBX45's myself. The factory Ventilator intake is a great intake, and theres a few aftermarket companies offering taller filters for them too if desired. Great video!

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Of course many of these apply to the Road Kings as well. I did have a 2019 Road King Special not that long ago. Great point in your comment regarding the oil pump. I did mention that in the Stage 2 upgrade video. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you. If you haven't yet subscribed to the channel I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👍👊

[@tnhunts2759]

@HDVIBE I think I was subbed when you had the King! M8 has a pretty bad rap, but the power potential with cam and displacement upgrades is very impressive. Great bikes for sure!

[@HDVIBE]

@tnhunts2759 I agree. Thanks for your support. ✌️👍👊

[@robertsonfamilyfarm9126]

Man , should I return my custom dynamic lighting that I just finished installing? With the help of your videos, bummer they are so bright and on the x pattern you recommend, I shouldn’t have done it , haha 😂 now the headers and exhaust slip on , now I get that , I live in California, that’s almost impossible to do , haha 😂 tall boy saddleman seat tuck and roll is best upgrade ever, I shouldn’t have ! Haha 😂 thanks though

[@CaribooHarleyRider]

LMAO, not what I was expecting :) I was surprised how close your list matches mine, ordered for my new 2023 Road Glide, DBX45s, stage 1 tuning, high flow air filter, Wilbers suspension front & rear, all Custom Dynamics LEDs including fairing windsheild trim running/signal lights, heated grips and mid frame deflectors... I'm doing all the work except the stage 1 and suspension work so HD may as well put the slip ons in at the same time. I put in 25,000km yr but I do live in Northern Canada so are season is a shorter one. (25,000km is about 15,000miles+) Watch for my new channel coming next year all about X-Canada touring. **BTW/ I've always prefered Mustang Saddles but I also ride with an Air Hawk and switch out every gas stop, ride a leg with the AH, and next leg without... works like a charm, never a hot spot.
