What a beautiful, professional, cinematic intro. It' feels like it's been produced by a movie studio. I have not finished watching the video and I'm already clicking like ❤️ and just loving it. Amazing

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

Thank you Yuri, I do try really hard to make these "movie-like" intros. Takes a tremendous amount of time but I think people like it and I really love doing it. Just about all of my films have these big intros but they've gotten much better in the last 18 months. Thanks for watching, more to come

[@omw2fymom76]

Been running integrated signal headlight and taillight on my dyna for over 3 yrs no issues. The taillight actually came lose on a ride doing 90+ and slid across 6 lanes of highway and still works other then a few small scratches. I bought a second to have on standby in case it quit working but it hasn't 😂😂. Both lights look nice for eBay and are made surprisingly well.

[@Liveharley1]

Love the two tone white & black and the aps makes the bike look bad ass! I just did all my lights to LED made the bike look newer. I think we got a chrome addiction lol, thats what I tell the wife. Enjoyed the video, take care.

Loved the Speedo/Tach replacement so I got the upgrade! You were dead on! Easy Peasy Softail Squeezy!

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

Awesome, glad it worked out. I definitely don't regret the purchase.

[@tawaitai]

Never looked at the Softail Deluxe “Cholo” builds before, now I’m all-in… You’re spot-on with that arched back riding position the apes give you a one-of-a-kind riding style like no other. Although I kinda liked when you switched it up from a 18-19” to a 16” and all the advantages that comes with going to a lower rise.

Not my style of ride, at all, but the video quality had me sit through the whole watch. Kudos.

Good stuff brother, just wish you would post more often! Love all the new upgrades minus the rear crash bars. I think they throw off the lines of the bike from the rear but that’s just my opinion. Your bike is badass and getting better all the time. Btw those cable holders make a huge difference and I’m sure they help give you a much clearer view of the road.

[@MichaelHoward-td9qm]

Cholo (aka Vicla) Deluxes are the best looking Harleys Couple suggestions. Get some chrome downtube/neck covers, chrome voltage regulator cover, and chrome out your switch housings and swap from black mirrors to chrome And as far as the rear crash bar, im not feeling it without the bags. A killer saddlebag idea however is to get some mounts that mount the bags a little lower. It gives it that chopper style/ swing arm bag look which looks great on the FLS bikes

[@santafehogger4686]

It’s great to find a guy who understands and respects the lines and looks of a bike. What kind of exhaust are you running? I also agree the rear crash guards need to go.

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

My next film will be on that exact topic, amongst other things. But yes, drilling is almost definitely required. Some companies pre-drill mounting holes and some don't. But it seems that all companies leave it up to the customer to drill holes for their taillights and brakelights (for good reason). Take your time, measure spots for holes. It's nerve racking, I know, I probably drilled 16 holes into that poor fender, but its necessary. TAKE YOUR TIME!
