Harley Davidson Softail Standard Build | Part II

[@ecrusch]

I'm enjoying this build so far. The jury is still out on the gray pegs until you add some more to see how it blends in. The wheels kick ass, and your choice of bars is ten times better than the previous owners' choice. I have nowhere near the money it would take to swap the parts over on my bike as fast as you did. So, I salute you. Lastly, I met you at Blockhead's grand opening and enjoyed hanging out with you. Thanks and keep up the good work. Eric in Kissimmee. Peace

Standard is monster itself ~~!!! One of the most very fun bike have lots of torque and nimble cornering~~ all through air cooled harley motorcycle.....😍

[@jimmin9802]

Tank lift cleans up the lines.

[@RBUSA1969]

Moons LED signals are pretty cool and won't break the bank like some others will,and great service too.

[@8flux]

Black tubes would look sick on this build.

[@lovingmylifeasIage6741]

I totally agree with you that the Heritage is the best riding bike Harley has at the moment. I just got one a couple of weeks ago. I've owned 2 Street Glides. I was amazed with this bike. It was the most agile and most comfortable big bike I have ever ridden. So much so I had to have it. I traded in my 2017 Street Glide special and have no regrets. My daughter and I went for a ride on it yesterday on some nice curvy roads and it was like butter. This will be my for every bike since I just turned 69 5'6" at 150 lbs. I've own so many bikes in my 50 years of riding, that I can't count them all. This bike is with out a doubt, the finest.

[@TyFromTennessee]

Great build you've got going there. It's gonna look DOPE when it's all said and done!

[@throttleblip9854]

I appreciate it. Half the fun is building but I'm so ready to see it done. ahaha

[@kristophergreen2418]

At throttle blip this bike is coming together! Super excited to see the progress!

[@GaryOtt]

viking bags has some great saddle bags for a soft tail. got them on mine and love them

[@coleyoung3200]

Two videos in on week I love and bike is looking great 😍😍😍

[@MatthewRing-v7s]

Love it well done u have given me some good ideas for mine build cheers 😊

[@bj2294]

Love everything you’ve done to the bike. Think you could save money by keeping the seat because the red picks up on the spark plug wires and numbers unless you’re planning on changing those items. Again looking great so far. Keep the videos coming.

[@throttleblip9854]

Yeah I wanted the seat with the backrest, I'm at that age. hahaha The plug wires will go soon and the number will stay but the colors of it are changing. At this point I'm already in it too deep just gonna keep on spending hahaha

[@ihatevott]

Killer update, I wasn’t sure about the gray for the handlebars and the foot pegs, but they really tight all together. That new front faring looks so much better especially with how it rises by the handlebars, sick build so far

[@jayteesgear]

Man that fairing looks cool! Im bummed Harleys droppin this bike. I love old skool chrome

[@throttleblip9854]

Me too but I hope it makes mine stand out more. I wanna keep chrome alive haha

[@jamesrodriguez4963]

Loving what your doing to the softtail, especially the baja lights. You should do a video about install on them because their making your softail standout.

[@rickbradshaw2148]

Love the bike man… definitely have to do legends front and back. Completely transforms the entire feel of the bike. I have it on my street Bob. By far my favorite upgrade.

[@smitheadz4lyfe205]

I am running the harley led rear turn signals , they look cool to me . Looking in my rear views at night they light up the street signs and are even brighter eith the brakes at night . The kind of smoked out plastic is cool and the chrome only when parked looks cool . They definitely are an up grade over the Einstein bulbs and red plastic , but what isn't?

[@gelfyd1]

Wow. The bike is gorgeous!!

[@rickbradshaw2148]

Just so you know, saddlemen will recover and re stitch your seat for like a $150. You didn’t have to buy a new seat.

[@MrHalfbreed1995]

I just got a softail standard a few weeks ago, my first bike ever. If I can afford that seat, I’d love to buy it off of you when yours comes in

[@ChowDaah]

Wish I had social media so that I can spread this around like Covid, a thumbs up is the best I can do.

[@throttleblip9854]

Much appreciated!!

[@jarettflechsenhaar5281]

Rad light setup! Are you able to give any pointers on how you got the running lights/turn signals to work together? I have a Road King torn apart right now and I’m trying to do the same w my Baja squadron lights

[@throttleblip9854]

I actually haven’t worked that part out yet. I could get one or the other to work but not both. I chose turn signals but until I get it worked out I’m going to change it to runnings lights. Because I added a high low option on the LP4 but the low beam is too low and the high beam literally blinds people. So I’m thinking running lights and low beam would be a good middle ground. I do plan to get it all working. Message me on Instagram if you wanna chat more I’d like to sort it out. Blair Snipes

[@blakeadams8570]

Simple fix for the red on the seat, professionals use Flebing’s leather dye. Simply apply on the stiching and embroidery with a Qtip, let or penetrate, use a shoe brush then use Angelus black shoe polish over the whole seal and polish. I have 2 seats and done both in worn areas, and blends perfectly, no headaches .The dye and polish doesn’t rub off or stain clothing and the seat will look factory clean. A $25 investment vs a new seat…..

[@pauls3696]

Stunning bike I love it looks amazing sound test please lol

[@vernegibb621]

Fork brace would be a great bolt on

[@12punkfreak]

Really hoping to see those yellow lights on

[@jakeb.1318]

Glad you got rid of the red, it did not look good lol the build looks great 👍🏼

[@throttleblip9854]

Appreciate it!!

[@mikeessary4925]

Looks real nice!

[@dirtydynadepot5126]

Beautiful bike good job.

[@waynemartin2288]

I have a 2023 softail standard. Did you have a link for the fairing/ windshield

[@danm425]

I'm looking for a good set of riding pants - any brand suggestions? Looking for comfort over substance.

[@jamessharpe6951]

I would love that Saltelman seat how much would you want for it

[@fps636]

Good looking ride. FAR from the stock " Standard." I always judge by asking myself "would I ride it?" Hell Yeah!

[@throttleblip9854]

Appreciate it man!!

[@Jonathan-L]

8:24 ... The Nelson Rigg NR400 bag kit are another alternative, if anyone's interested in knowing what to consider for Softail bags.

[@TheMotoJawn]

Do you know if the wiring for the digital gage has to be extended when raising it with risers from stock?

[@throttleblip9854]

Depends on how high but mine did and mine is a total of 12". It wasn't that expensive I don't think. Maybe $35

[@Chris_STR]

Really diggin the build so far….Hurd the standard was canned gor the 23 model yeat

[@throttleblip9854]

Thanks! I've heard the same. Hopefully makes mine stand out more haha!

[@Nathan.44-40]

Awesome Bike!! 💪👍

[@Mr_TimeMachine_Too]

I love the number on the side cover. Is that vinyl?

[@dry509]

Nice bike. I like it. At this price point there so many bikes…some faster with quick shifters, electronics etc. What is your thinking on the price of this and other Softail models? How does one rationalize the prices?

[@toddaltan8306]

Can you do a video on how to wire those turn signals

[@TarDaniel]

I'm glad you're getting rid of the red. I think it didn't fit this bike. I don't like those tiny bags and the "club style" style you're going with, but I like the softail standard itself and your channel, so big up from Romania! Keep up the good work! 😎

[@throttleblip9854]

I love the feel of the bars. Makes it so easy to throw around. I have never found softail bags I like so I just did the small ones to have some storage. Appreciate the love!

[@stephencruthis3916]

have a site telling how to hook up the baja lights?

[@scottdeal4573]

Can you do a video on the turn signals?

[@fastsilverado]

What does the 257 mean? Love the build so far!

[@throttleblip9854]

It's my motocross race number. I always put it on my bikes I just like the way it looks.

[@MAX_AVIATION]

@throttleblip hey by any chance is the saddlemen seat still available? I’d like to put it on my red 22 street Bob

[@throttleblip9854]

I ended up having to have Saddlemen replace this one but it's already sold.

[@MAX_AVIATION]

@@throttleblip9854 OK, I figured . Thought I’d check, thanks for the response !

[@eduardomontes2749]

You can buy a Saddlemen token for $125 and have your seat re-stitched with a new color

[@adambates4913]

Where did you get the bolt that bolts the back of the saddlemen seat onto the back fender?

[@throttleblip9854]

Honestly I don't know where its from it came off a used bike at the dealership! haha

[@pakarakia291]

Who makes y'all brake pedal?

[@throttleblip9854]

Flo moto

[@bryancardenas-qs4ig]

Was that seat sold

[@garyehrhardt3136]

Kiss, keep it simple, led with smoked lens

[@jorgelira1951]

How did you get the S1 blinkers to work

[@throttleblip9854]

I haven't fully yet. I plan to get back to it soon. As it stands I can use them as running lights or turn signals but not both. I'm guessing you have the same issue. If you wanna connect on Instagram let me know I'd be glad to share the fix with you when I find it. blair_snipes

[@DanielTojcic]

Missing a bolt on your wheel insert at 9:24

[@1911Earthling]

Just what you need on a road bike super aggressive motocross pegs so when your 600 pound motorcycle eventually falls on you the pegs will gouge out a huge chunk of you with the points. WHY POINTS ON A STREET BIKE? Why?

[@jmac6242]

IMHO, I'd have to go to a larger fuel tank. Just me.

[@throttleblip9854]

It’s not ideal that’s for sure. I thought about changing it but then the whole look of the bike changes.

[@HD2O13XL12OOC]

Dude man for all your talk about clean this and clean that in your other reviews I'm not seeing "clean" on this build. I know it's your own money but I'm just not seeing the "clean" yet. Particularly in those turn signals.

[@throttleblip9854]

Function over looks for me. Those are bright as hell and not every other dyna bro out there has them. At this point you have to go against the norm to make a bike stand out. Otherwise I would have done some little flush signals, memphis shades fairing, thrashin bars and risers, blacked everything out, etc, Basically every high end build on Instagram. I may build a show bike one day and we can do "clean". This is a bike that out performs most in every aspect. Suspension, power, brakes, lighting and still comfortable.

[@HD2O13XL12OOC]

@@throttleblip9854 I am looking forward to the rest of the build i'm excited for the suspension and the engine stuff and curious about the brakes being brembo and thats kind of cool. Love the foot pegs and the instrument relocation is sweet. Maybe you'll get a sissy bar bag to compliment the side bags 🤷‍♂️

[@samiam1044]

Dude, what is that monstrosity, you okay?

[@millertime269]

It’s kinda ugly sorry bro

[@throttleblip9854]

Thats the glory of building bikes you can do it your way!

[@millertime269]

Heck yea!

[@skwid11]

Great build super good video but you blue balled me I wanted to hear it run lol
