The best way to remove those reflectors is with WD40 & fishing line. On each side of the reflector pull up on each side as apply the WD40 behind it, be sure to use a good amount when doing so. Let that sit for about (10) minutes, then start from the top with your fishing line behind it pulling it down slowly. Once the reflectors are off you can just use your finger nails , that’s if you have not chewed them off, and the just remove the adhesive until it’s completely off. Take a soft cloth to remove the WD40. Hope this helps you out, I been doing this way for many yrs now.

Ok.... I did also choose the highway pegs and the four point docking system for my old 2010 E-glide, but all the rest of your must do's is just for show. I still have those 2 big spotlights next to my headlight, so people see me for sure. Most important is that you have those old fashion rear crashbars, because sooner later your drop the thing and then your hard saddle bag is gone including your exhaust pipe. And those rear crashbars are great for securing bagage and fitting some extra leather bags.

I have to say that Stage 2, Trq cam, with a good tune, and Legend Suspension front and rear, are "must's". Once you've had a bagger with these 2 upgrades, it's impossible to go back. I just did a demo ride on a new RGS and was completely disappointed in the stock suspension and the throttle response.

Awesome video, as far as removing the reflector a steam gun works better than a heating gun, you can actually cause the paint to bubble if left to long. A steam gun is more safer. Works good at removing window tint as well. And definitely a shorty antenna.

Mod #1 - Rear suspension - stock 2 inches of travel is just silly. Mod#2 - Front suspension Mod #3 - Engine cooling aka Love Jugs. I will guarantee that you are running an engine temperature of over 300 degrees all the time on that 107 (mine ran 330 degrees when it was 80 degrees ambient temp). Your ECU is going to significantly retard the timing when the engine hits those temps and drop your torque and HP by more than 10%. The cost of the Love Jugs to retain 100% of your engines torque and horsepower is the cheapest horsepower you will ever buy. With the cooling, I’m running 255-260 degree cylinder head temps now.

My new Ultraglide came with a maladjusted clutch that almost burned itself up on my first ride. Took it back to get adjusted and it still slipped a little. Third try was a charm, and I also upgraded to the SE version with 1275 NM springs. This would be my first mod I'd recommend for any of the new Harleys. I think they have been cracking 3rd gear so more clutch slip is the way they tackled it ... rather than taking the transmission out and lowering the hardness of all the gears to about 180 Rockwell so they are not quite so brittle. I plan to do this when the warrantee runs out. Anothert excellent add on is the cool flo fan. Makes it slightly less like riding thru hades here in Florida during the summer.

I don’t want too much wattage that I blow my speakers. They are 250 -1200w I didn’t see 75 watt. Do you maybe have a link for that and boy? Thanks for the videos

Boom amp is the one Harley-Davidson sells before they partnered with Rockford fosgste. It will increase your per speaker amperage to 75 if you have the stage 1 like I do. It is a good budget purchase 👍🏼👍🏼

Had them put on screamin’ eagle mufflers and a stage one air cleaner, I did the same as you keeping the original style. Had the whim installed which has never worked very well. Had black axle covers put on. All that before I brought it home. Since then I got taller windscreen, custom dynamics lights, king tour pack from Harley in matching paint.
