I thought something was wrong with my New Harley-Davidson Road Glide!

First ride on my New 2023 Harley-Davidson Road Glide. Went for a ride to see how it felt before I made any modifications to my new Road Glide.

Just started watching your channel about a month now and got to say this is one of the best motorcycle channels out there.

[@fps636]

"Tall" is very informative, and a super nice person, easy to be around.

[@robertm9848]

He's a great person but if you think this is the best bike channel on KZbin you need to have your head checked lol.

[@thomascampbell3763]

Finally you’re on the right glide. The real glide…The Road Glide!!!! Congratulations

[@james6275]

hahahaha blaa blaa blaaa

[@hillbillydranyam7915]

I've put 1800 miles on my 2023 Road Glide Standard in less than a month. Vivid black , traction control,rain mode, hill assist and Abs. Just installed stage one screaming eagle, tuner and kromeworks pipes. I ordered full crash bars for the bags, 14" windshield for long trips, and put a nice wide seat for the wife. Still waiting on the tour pack to come in. I love the way this bike handles and the 107 has all I need when I ask it to move... 🤙

[@Dee-wd7zi]

Welcome to the Glide family Tall. Congratulations now you got a bike !!!!

[@williamprice1336]

Hey Tall, soo glad you finally got yourself a Road Glide!! I know you still luv your Street, but you realize how many times you gave the RG its props for how fast you were going, yet how smooth it is, even down to the mirrors!! Jus wait til you put those bars & Pipes on!! I bought a Street Glide 1st, then 3 months later, came over to a Road Glide. The FLTRX has been an awesome bike. As a 48 yr old Utility worker, who rides these Washington, DC area roads & highways, mostly year round, i really enjoy your channel & content. Stay Blessed Traveling Tall, & keep it up!! #sharklife #harleyriders #ridefree

[@KevinButler816]

Hey Tall congratulations on getting your first Road Glide lol. Your headlight is probably out of adjustment very easy to adjust.

[@frankhabib5748]

Tall: I think stock LED headlights are reflector lights; you’re used to having a LED projector headlamp. Big difference in light output and beam throw.

[@gerardotrevino7094]

Been on a break out for six years, hoping that 2024 is my year to upgrade to the Road glide. I’m looking forward to all the great content and watching you build her out. Bless you brother.

[@PAULY-P]

I got rid of my 20' StreetGlide and upgraded to a 17' BreakOut. 💪🏽

[@j.vosier6786]

@@PAULY-P u ever had any issues with your street glide?? I just bought a 2015 street glide and it shut off at a red light and sputters when shifting, it has 20k miles

[@jamesclarke5694]

I adjusted the headlight up and it was great.

[@irnfocus]

Omg!❤ you did it! Love love it! I thought I loved your channel before … understatement! Welcome to the shark tank, Tall! Can’t wait to see your upgrades!

[@randysiler7458]

Y’all I own a 07 SG, had a 13 RG and bought a 20 RG when I retired. Love all of them!

[@shon9995]

You're on the Real Glide that Road Glide the Right Glide keep Gliding baby

[@grantbreems2379]

YESSS! You finally got a Road Glide…. You’re gonna love it. At least you won’t have to change your “Keep Gliding”…. Love my ‘19 RG ULTRA

[@davidpadilla7122]

TT! Just started watching your channel and I really enjoy your candid and honest information about Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Wish I could of hooked up with you and Adam Sandoval during his 120th Harley-Davidson Tribute Ride across the country

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

"If someone says a stock harley davidson is unridable I question if they should even be on a motorcycle" BOOM MIC DROP. Tall brining the heat.

[@sandrasack3485]

Love the bike, enjoy! I bought a gently used motorcycle in April 2018. I love my 2017 Denim Black Road Glide Special w/stage 1 kit...I am 5'9" and it fits me perfect and the price was right. I now have 94,000 miles

[@911Getsome]

I am die hard street glide ; have a 2022 blue steel w 128 kit. however ; !! I found a mako shark road glide w 400 miles on it. Bought is 6 months ago. Put a star 30-30 cam in it , bars, lights custom seats, king tour pack and more. Now I find myself picking the RG over my SG. But the street glide sure does look better. IMO. Beautiful addition to the collection Tall. Ride safe !

[@babybugspaw7085]

I’m with you Kirk, a SG looks better to me, way better.

[@tthagreat135]

Aye Tall I’m getting the zippers 124 kit installed on my standard road glide and it’s all thanks to you!…I’ve been debating on starting me a KZbin …but we are definitely gone have to link and ride!

[@ridefitnation]

What you said about buying the basic model and then making it your own is all facts. 💪🏽💯

[@daveheimes241]

Beautiful road glide tall! I'm glad you finally came over to the dark side. Road glides are gorgeous!

[@willyafg]

Cant believe u got another bagger! Especially the road glide of all bikes lol. Wouldve been dope to see u on a softail. That new breakout is clean. Ride safe though brother.

[@PAULY-P]

Yeah, I sold my 2020 StreetGlide and upgraded to a 2017 BreakOut! Everyone has a bagger nowadays and they all look the same or similar. The only thing I miss on the glide is the hard bags but they're not needed as I don't do cross country. A large swingarm bag is all I need 💪🏽

[@RollinwithJon2]

Hey tall, you stated that the mirrors on the road glide were better than the street glide. Just install the same mirrors that are on the E.G. and Ultra and that solves that issue. Ride safe, be blessed. 🤙🏾

[@sgtshak2806]

Never really been a Harley guy. Always appreciated them but never wanted one. That said, the mellow rumble through your audio was awesome. Enjoy & stay safe.

[@jonah1a3k]

I’ve got the custom dynamics headlamp on my road glide and love it

[@tallmike6598]

I'm 6'8" and was miserable uncomfortable on my 2022 Road Glide Special until I added 14" apes, Klock Werks taller windshield, highway pegs, and a Daddy Long Legs seat.. I'm nowhere near finished but I'm at least more comfortable now...Good luck with your build...

[@fearsomename4517]

She's a beautiful machine. I'm sure you'll make it yours. Best of luck to you.

[@fps636]

Love this video. Just something about being in the big city on a Harley under the lights at night.

[@the-d-man1013]

Looks good. The red Light. In the alley is a after Hours club. 🤣🤣

[@hermanbrown4786]

Congratulations on your new bike, fyi my brother I am 62 and you’re 66. You need to purchase some floor mounts from Tall Boy Cycles, have them on my 2022 Road King with Saddleman seat that sets me back two inches back off the gas tank and lower me two inches. Trust me if you take this information you will setting pretty my brother and very relaxed during your short or long trips on your new HD.

[@kevintuma6223]

Im 5 11 and it fits me perfectly . I left everything stock . Only added Highway pegs .

[@shameless6963]

People who think a 107" motor has no power never spent a lot of time on a 74" shovelhead. Bike sounds pretty good for stock. Very good looking bike

[@naustin571]

I can’t wait to see your customizations!

[@joshuajones5063]

I can’t wait to see what changes you do you your Road glide! Out here At Eagles nest Harley Davidson in Lathrop California!

[@Frostytravels]

Had ultra classics for years, bought a road glide ultra and man o man...love this bike. Been riding it for a few years now and seriously love it.

[@zombiemike5611]

I traded in my 09 for a 2021 Ultra Limited. They aren't even close to being the same bike! The new bike is super smoothe. I'm 6'3", so I got a tall boy seat, and I'm putting on the 12" bars on. Stay safe!!!

[@michaelsherman5073]

Can't wait to see your ride once you get it set up for you. I'm waiting for my Tri-Glide Anniversary model to arrive. My body at 76 has changed so much the comfort of the Tri-Glide is a blessing for me.

[@squidmonster3251]

I can't believe you went to the dark side! lol Congrats on the new set of wheels!!

[@michaelsweeney6596]

I have a 2020 rg standard put a klockwork sport windshield 12 or 14 inch windshield a Mustang lowdowner seat will put you back 2 inches, Highway p and advanblack tour king pack, on motor work so far. I am getting ready to do a 128 stage 4 for my softail. Congratulations on the new bike and enjoy

[@RyanTaylor1223]

Customizing your Harley to fit the way you ride and to get the look want is the fun part! Making changes to mine is my winter hobby

[@timothyhull9829]

I know what you're talking about! I have a 22 Road Glide FLTRX in vivid black delivered on November 28. Riding home from the dealership I was cruising down the highway when I saw I was doing 80 & sure didn't feel like it! I've since put a whole lot of my own preferences into it & absolutely love the bike!

[@ryanm8456]

I’m 5’10” and stock bars on my 2022 RGS made my back and shoulders hurt. I put 14” KST Customs Spearheads on. I love the bars amazingly comfortable.

[@williamfranklin5917]

Could that just be the smoothness of the “Road Glide” compared to the “STREET GLIDE”??? Just a question. I bought my Street Glide because I like how it looks. I could have bought a Road Glide if I wanted to but I don’t like how they look… Nothing from me negative about them, I just don’t like how they look. How much do you want for your Street Glide?

[@derrickwalton688]

same here bro

[@codyedmonds6635]

So I am assuming you didn’t do the “break in” period?

[@victorlorraine6596]

I’m just the opposite I love the road glide and not a huge fan of the street …. No hate personal preference… I mean they are basically the same bike

[@xdarkknight670x]

I hated the look of the Road Glide, so I never got on one, so I've been on Street Glides for 16 years. Finally, I broke down and test rode one. I liked it well enough and even gained a new respect for the bike. Then, even greater respect gained riding my cousin's 800 miles and getting over the ugly fixed fairing bias. I may be adding one to my collection once I get the wife's Can-am paid off.

[@jeffgoss9188]

Nice bike!! Can't wait to see wat ur going to do to it! I know it;s going to look awesome when you finish!

[@maximolopez4032]

Congratulations on the new bike ride safe

[@GJM866]

Man, when I'm running 80mph on my 1998 Electra Glide, I know it for sure!

[@donsvideos1985]

Those Evos will let you know, my old Panhead might have gone 80. Not sure. It never had a speedo 🤣

[@WILDSTYLETELEVISION]

I'm Jelly. Here in CT were floating around 32-40 degrees but with the moderate snow & sand it's definitely one to keep your attention. Bike and video looks great. Enjoy my dude.

[@mikeseeley-hs4zw]

I traded a 2013 Harley Davidson Road King Police bike in on a 2023 Road Glide base 107 engine. Had it Ceramic coated. I am 6 foot. Bike is comfortable. 2900 rpm is 79 mph. You are being honest. It is a completely new. Rear shock adjustment is on the left side, have to take the saddlebag off.

[@morrisdennis]

Glad that u saw the light, rg nation!

[@djpipe7169]

It's about time congratulations can't wait to see what you do with it . I have a 2019 Road Glide can't stay off of it

[@djpipe7169]

Move your bars up adjust your bars move them up . Takes like 10 min

[@leorobles9885]

Congratulations on the new whip Tall. And no your butt doesn’t look big on the bike. Good travels as always and God bless. 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

[@terrybrown2207]

I had a 2017 RGS and traded it in on a 2023 RGST last month. Rode it for the first time last week after I added the filler lights and tab preformance 4 inch with zombie baffles. That bike is INSANE. I love it. Except for going back to a cable clutch.

[@garnettsingleton5740]

14:05 I’ve been waiting for you to get a RG and wait until the day you’re cutting the wind with that aerodynamic fairing! Ain’t nothing like it.

[@davidmatias6239]

It’s so smooth you were Road Gliding

[@kcaz5574]

beautiful bike.... My first motorcycle was a 2014 883 Sporty, taught my self how to ride on it 4 months later i traded it in for an 08 heritage softail. that being said Harleys are just like anything else ive owned (vehicle wise) If you take car of it, it will take car of you.... EVERY COMPANY HAS ITS GREMLINS its a part of life. Enjoy the videos keep up the good work

[@joemesserhd1]

Thanks for the vid Tall….. good looking bike 👍

[@markcasimir2183]

That’s a great looking Road Glide. I got myself a 2020 Road Glide after selling my 2017 Street Bob and haven’t looked back.

[@jeffrockel5176]

As a fellow 6 foot 6 rider I know how you feel. Didn’t even leave the dealership with my new bike until I put on the Tall Bly seat. Looking at putting Carlini Design 14 inch Gangster Apes on this summer>

[@garyehrhardt3136]

Spot on T, start base and customize yourself, better fit and cheaper

[@aholecop5547]

Congratulations. It’s a great bike. I was just looking at one myself. It was like the only touring Harley at my dealership that was under $30k

[@nunobarros4944]

Tall, I need to be honest brother, if you want to beat a Road Glide……..You need to buy a Road Glide 👊🏼 There’s just nothing like it brother..Can’t wait to check out the way she’s going to turn out..Keep it up brother

[@navcop33]

Good for you!! Awesome bike!

[@donzollars8187]

Bout dang time! lol I love my RoadGlide Limited. Hope you grow to love your RG too!!!

[@136brando]

love the white face gauges on the special I have a 19 coo street glide but wished I had those gauges

[@quickbrown2]

Nice to meet you in person at Destination Daytona. Quick

[@sonnysalmons3791]

I got a 22 road glide standard in reef blue , the first thing I changed was the bars, I'm 6' and the stock bars suck, I went with the 3piece KST 14" bars . Soooo much better.

[@davidHD53]

Man you know your going to get alot of feedback on your new road glide I say to each is 9wn and don't sweat the small things in life you have three HDs how much more can a man ask for congratulations on your new purchase road glide standard is the way to go you make it the way you like traveling tall is walking tall lol👍

[@cedriclashar8905]

Enjoy your RG....take stock wheels off and have them chromed from a reputable chrome shop...cheaper better and richer than HD chrome. Can't wait to see what you do with this stock 107....yesssss siiiiiiiir don't sleep on a 107....especially one with a hot cam in it😁😁😁

[@14zoneroama]

Now u on the rite glide tall lol congratz on the new edition

[@seansilverfox4406]

For the bars I went with 14" hammerhead bars from LA choppers, did it myself in about 4 hours and didn't even have to swap harnesses. I love em, and it made sense with the "sharknose fairing"

[@KindredGh0st]

He got a road glide. Tall is evolving! His true power and final form is yet to be revealed.

[@RevJay_Rides]

I bought a Road Glide for the first time last May. At the time, I had an Ultra Limited and the RG. After owning it for a few months, I traded my Ultra Limited for a Pan America because I thought I had 2 bikes too similar with the RG and UL. I regretted trading my Ultra Limited because I truly believe it is better on a road trip with my wife riding 2 up with me. I traded it back in for an Ultra Limited.

[@bobhartman2571]

Your correct, it's a good starting point.

[@StillMansa]

I love my RG Limited, I do have 20in Pullback handlebars and I'm 6'1

[@bigrobpierce3804]

Great choice of bikes I put 14"" factory 47's on my Road Glide worked out nice but i'm not 6'4'' just 5'10'' ✌🏽✌🏽

[@BigAzzCuban]

I got the 22 Road Glide. I’m 6’5”. Looking forward to following you as you upgrade for us “full sized guys”

[@hoss6048]

The thing about the vivid black bikes is that any other color will show nicely on it with floor boards and pegs or whatever. The reality, for cruising and doing whatever you want, a stock bike will get you there. But me being never satisfied always want more..I’ll tell ya, twin cam 88 to this 114..night and day…oh and “stockish”?? Ya right -I’ll be watching for the mods

[@jessieholt9238]

We have always told you the Roadglide is the smoothes motorcycle Harley makes and in my opinion with all the changes your gonna do u bought the best motorcycle to do it with

[@patriciabramble6704]

The original lights truly need changing. Looking forward to the upgrades

[@chico522]

Looks good, congrats.

[@stuartwillems3723]

Seems like Your Really enjoying the Road Glide! Now U got to change the name of your Channel to Traveling Smooth Gliding Tall! 🤛

Nice bike, had to adjust my lights up on my last Road Glide.

[@ironcarter4801]

Lol RoadGlide? Lol oh my! Lol road king, bat wing , the other thing. Lol congratulations!!

[@wyomoto1349]

You know about the extended reach seats, and let me point you in the direction of Thrashin Supply for some Tbars that will fit you right.

[@ElectraWillem]

I'am also 6.1 and I got my standard E-glide some 13 years ago, and never had to change anything. Mounted a adjustable backrest and that was probadly the best accessorie I ever bought for a bike. But hé ! I'am not a youngster anymore. 🤣 Want to see how this Road Glide is turning out soon.🤨

[@larlueb2303]

Pro-Touring Flair 16 inch will be great for your windshield. Nice Harley 👍

[@rickdeskis]

It is a great looking bike in stock form. I like it. Too bad that you are uncomfortable in such a short period of time.

[@jessejames3944]

Yes, the RG headlight leaves MUCH to be desired!!!

[@jonray9449]

6 foot 6. Tweak you gotta change her, love love my rode glide

[@robertfagan8833]

Love the new addition to the family. I went from a 21 street glide to a 22 road glide St both I customized to my liking and I’m enjoying the road glide more not just the engine difference.. I like the fairing being alittle further away.. keep up the great content

[@RidingandWrenching]

Wait till you get the seat, bars, and footboards the way you want. You haven't felt smooth and comfortable yet. It gets better!

[@FXRBlue]

Congrats on the new bike. Looking forward to the upcoming videos when all the parts get installed.

[@MrBurlybiker]

I have a Road Glide ST and I’m putting in a stage 4 131 in it!!

[@SharkLifeSean]

Just got my RGS last November. So glad I bought it. Just love it. My only complaint is positioning of the speedometer- you have to look down at it. Where as the sg I could just look ahead. But with the CarPlay hack I’ll run Waze and have the speed in the top right. Good luck with with it Tall you will love it.

[@shanruckusjones.4948]

Road glide is the best glide even though I have a Victory Cross Country 😁

[@johnsironi631]

Congrats Tall on the new glide

[@papichulo7757]

Love the bikes bro man you tall.

[@TexasBowCouple]

Great video Tall. As alway informative and classy….. can’t wait to see what you do to it. Like you i bought a 22 SG standard but not much left on it standard…. Very custom now! Ride safe as always!!

[@Jeffmd2020]

I’m pretty sure what that dude meant about being original with the black road glide is the fact that EVERYBODY and their brother has a black road glide or street glide and it’s basic/original/inside the box… I don’t care what you do to a black Harley cause once you’ve seen a black road/street glide… you’ve seen them all!! Outside the box thinking would be to get literally anything other then black… you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all
