Harley Davidson Pan America 1250 Accessories - 7 items that could change your ride.

No big secrets are shared here; however, if you're on the fence about the Harley Davidson Pan America 1250, the following accessories
may make as much of a difference riding for you as they do for me. The bike comes stock with fantastic power and performance, but it's not
the most comfortable to ride long distances. I know for some they love it right out the showroom floor, but I was not one of those people.
No installation video here, just my honest opinion about the accessories I listed below that make my ride on the Pan America Special
That much more enjoyable. If you have any questions or concerns about ordering the parts from AEEDEA they are great to work with and take pride
In their work. Shipping takes a while, but the parts are packaged well and provide installation video links in the email receipts.

Thanks for the video, was interested to see the opinion on the seat and good to know the limits on the removal of the back seat. Got a sub from me.

Your welcome! Thanks for watching and the sub!!

[@MinnowMoto]

I have a 22 PAS and I love it. Totally agree and it needs to be comfortable. Really thinking about those highway pegs and handlebar risers. You described the seat the same way I did. Totally gets things hot down there. Ride safe, New Sub.

Add SW-Motech Trax bags that sit on top of the panniers for more space behind the backrest.

[@frankpolievkajr]

Thanks for the tip! I did just pick up the ice mule soft freezer bag for one side. Maybe use a Trax bag for tools!

[@Eds_PanAm]

hows it goin' man...I just bought a PAS, a few weeks ago, loving the bike coming off of a cruiser, I think the ride position is damn good, little tweaks are definately in order, went from an adv bike to a cruiser...hated it, being vertically challenged at 5'7, the HD adaptive ride height sold me! came across your channel and this gave me some ideas! subbed...Sláinte!

[@frankpolievkajr]

Awesome, it’s going great! Glad I could maybe help! Yeah that adaptive ride height is what makes this possible for me too! Looking forward to some fall riding! Thanks for watching.

[@stuartfreeman7332]

Great information on accessories. Agree the bike’s initial set up is not comfortable on a longer ride.

[@frankpolievkajr]

Thanks for watching!

[@Dude_Virus]

I agree with you, those parts from Aeedea are not the easiest to install but man they are worth the money. The quality of the products are good. I have quite a few parts from them on my sportster and planning to get parts from them for my PanAm once it gets delivered.

[@frankpolievkajr]

Assuming you bought a 2022? Hopefully all the bugs are worked out. I ended up having the instrument cluster (LCD screen) replaced which fixed several issues with my 21.

[@Dude_Virus]

@@frankpolievkajr It's a 21 model and they say that this is the Sep 21 slot so all the bugs have been fixed. Fingers crossed

[@taylorwoolwine7718]

thanks for the vid! The link to the backrest appears to just be for passengers. Is it the same one you are using?

[@frankpolievkajr]

No mine was actual the drivers backrest, I checked the site and I don't see it. email [e-mail] and ask directly, I paid $155.00 for it plus shipping and it worked great for me! Easy install, you just can't remove the passenger seat once its installed, FYI.

[@grayghost1423]

I have the same highway pegs. I also got their heat shields also. Most recently purchased and installed the VH exhaust. I really like that, not obnoxious, just right. I'm 5'11" with a 32" inseam, so I run the seat in the low position foe Offroad and high for highway days. I don't have risers but actually find the bike comfortable. I have 2 other bikes, a 1200 48, and a Streetglide ST. It's definitely the most comfortable between the 3. My biggest complaint is the windshield needs to be a few inches taller for the road. I've looked for a removable flip type extension, but haven't found the right size. Mine has been flawless with the exception of getting a code over 10k feet on the Beartooth. I've read others did too, I cleared it without issue. One thing for sure, it's a quick bike and likes the corners.

[@frankpolievkajr]

Beartooth was amazing by motorcycle I bet. I drove that highway moving my son out to Montana on his PCS move and it was an incredible views for miles. Glad to hear you have been exempt from the PA flu, mine not so lucky by manageable and I still love it!

Great video, quick question, can you fit a helmet on the side bags?

[@frankpolievkajr]

It fits well in the tour pack , trunk whatever you want to call it but that’s about it. The right side bag is huge but my full face didn’t fit. Thanks for watching!!

[@Dude_Virus]

Hi, I see you have strapped the tank bags using the straps.. Have you tried a magnetic tank back goven that this bike has a metal tank ?

[@frankpolievkajr]

I have not, however I use a Chase Harper tank bag on my Triumph with just the magnets and it has worked great for years. I normally carry the drone and expensive stuff in the tank bag so if I go in somewhere I can unhook it and take it with me plus less fear of flying off the bike.

[@willp2042]

Thanks a lot for sharing. Do you have any heat issue? I am about to buy one but my pressing concern is HEAT come out from the engine. I saw AeeDEA sells the heat guard but not sure it it works. Subscribed.

[@frankpolievkajr]

First, thank you for subscribing! So far none, all mine have been electronic and they swapped out the instrument panel to fix the issues. The other day in heavy traffic the hottest was 225 in 79 degrees at a 5mph crawl for 7 miles. So far so good!

[@willp2042]

@@frankpolievkajr Many thanks Frank. Actually I just sold my BMW GSA and would like to experience a PAS. Would be much appreciated if you could make a short vid shows the instrument panel swapped since I knew lots of PAS owners are facing the heat issue.

Nice... I noticed you are in Maryland. I'm getting a pan america and where we're you riding? That looks like a good trail

[@frankpolievkajr]

Hi, Thanks for watching! I am in Southern Maryland. That particular day, I ended up at Marshall Hall which has an old trail that leads back to the water. There was an amusement park there in the early 1920's which still have some remnants in the woods.

How about the reliability of your bike? My ‘21 has been unreliable

Mine was horrible so many issues I traded it for 2023 Road King, I have video that talks about all the issues I had. Thanks for watching!

[@northidrecluse2306]

@@frankpolievkajr I don’t blame you. Mine has been the worst bike I’ve ever owned. It is my 6 th and last Harley. My dealer will take it back in trade, however no other dealer brand will take it off my hands, and the value has dropped out the bottom. I saw on a forum, that someone suggested parting it out for more money. Ride safe 😎

[@jakehopt]

GOOD LORD why is the opening music ripped straight from a 90's action movie hahahah. It's exciting I get it, but damn that's a bit much for a fuckin' Pan America parts video hahaha. Skip all that BS and just get to the content! There was a full 57 seconds of bullshit filler before you utter your first word. I don't mind openings, don't' get me wrong, but they should be a less than 5-second thing. I promise you it'll make a BIG difference in the retention rate of your viewers. It's hard enough to get people to even CONSIDER looking at your video, but if they're sitting through 60 seconds of opening fluff? 70% will NOT scroll forward, and certainly will NOT sit through it, you'll lose a viewer like that. I'm not just talking out of my ass brother, I've worked in SEO & KZbin Analytics since 2015, I see it so fuckin' often it breaks my heart when someone who has a GREAT channel, good videos, you're a personality people clearly enjoy watching, you could grow this channel if you wanted to, but getting better at producing content comes with time and experience, and sometimes improvements come by advice, and the advice I'm sharing is to trim down the opening from the full 53 seconds, to instead from time 0:50 to 0:57 and then you're video would start properly, at 7 seconds in.

[@frankpolievkajr]

So I read your comment, and thank you for the constructive criticism shared. I see your point and often skip through some openings while watching videos myself. In this case, I was truly showing the accessories from a perspective that was appealing to those interested. The different viewpoints and angles showcased the bike with everything attached. I thought that 57 seconds was streamlined, lol. To me, it wasn't bullshit filler at all. It's great that I have subscribers and the channel is growing, but that is not my original goal; it's primarily an archive for my grandchildren. I won't use bait and switch thumbnails and really don't give a shit about the analytics. I do care about the people who take the time to comment and offer advice or info, so thank you for watching and sharing yours.

[@jakehopt]

@@frankpolievkajr I understand buddy; thanks for taking the time to respond. Don't let anyone get you down. The comments can come across horribly mean, I hope I didn't come across that way. didn't mean it that way at all.
