NO BUSTED KNUCKLES‼️ ADDING MEMPHIS SHADES HAND GUARDS TO MY ROAD GLIDE CUSTOM BAGGER

[@matthewowen6730]

I agree with you John. Anything that is going to increase your safety is a good thing.

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

Great addition John, I too have been hesitant about the look but like the way it looks 🤙

[@jamescruz7460]

Looks good John. They added to the look, some items take away, those shields added. I've been riding with shields for two years, since I got pegged with a stone at 90 mph. I had a swollen knuckle for about four days and my hand hurt for a couple of weeks. They make a difference. Ride on brother.

[@neilhoogendoorn412]

Ive ridden with no gloves and very thin gloves and have hit bees who have stung me on my hand in both cases. I have also had my share of june bugs and gravel hit my hands with my 13 inch tall apes. I made my own hand guards out of the front of a stainless steel dishwasher. I get compliments on them all the time.

[@diannerides7545]

Coming into our colder months now so I have just fitted a set of these Memphis Shades Handguards to my 2012 Switchback this weekend. Looking forward to seeing how they go. They certainly look good on your Road Glide Custom. 👍

[@harryhowell5644]

First review I have seen of handguards. I have a roadglide limited and I may try those. I had a Memphis shades windshield on my ultra in ghost tint.

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

I use those on my FLHR when it gets cold. Those with heated gloves … MAKES HELLA DIFFERENCE Also.. if you can’t keep your legs warm.. LEATHER CHAPS! No joke ! They make tons of difference. I couldn’t keep my legs warm no matter how many layers. My arms tho.. and torso .. never got cold. Heavy leather jacket .. tried a heavy leather jacket for my legs (chaps ? Sure why not ) worked so well. Worth every penny. I find it funny how far we all go to get a few more miles in. Bikers are a special breed my brother Love your channel Ride safe !

[@jimdangelo6842]

I always thought they were for dirt bikes, but it actually looks pretty nice on Silverback. It matches the windshield. Thanks for sharing John.

[@ejdtm]

Hand guards help a ton in the cold. Those look much better than the cheap Amazon ones.

[@johnward9270]

I love mine, great addition to go with my heated grips.

[@davedarling2008]

You need the heated grips from the Empire Collection. Would look killer with the other Empire stuff.

[@rickyhawkins7407]

I was tentative on these until I saw them installed on your bike. Looks good and functional. I may try a set.

[@onlyhereonce7290]

I like the look and feel of ape hangers. I have them on my FatBoy. It’s an Evo engine bike. So the shake is nice, and welcomed. And I totally get it. With my hands in the wind all the time it can be tough. It’s no longer a reliable ride. So it’s parked. Fortunately, my Indian Chieftain DH has its handlebars set down at a lower height from the factory so that my hands are behind the fairing. Now I have no issues with the wind on my hands.

[@119topdawg]

they look great on Silverback John. i watched both your's and HolyShift's install videos and just ordered a set of these for my 2019 Chieftain Darkhorse. I put midrise bars on the bike two years ago and it brought my hands above the fairing...definitely a need for riding for a lot of here in Michigan. take care...

[@lpete531]

Awesome install, you're right, should have placed them a long time ago. 👌🏾

[@mikeborscheid9842]

I love mine on my Road Glide. They make a big difference

[@jasonbreedlove495]

Clean looking. I did a set of Amazon coffinguards on my 2018 Heritage, and makes a big difference in cold weather here in MD.

[@GlidingOnTwos]

Looks good and should definitely be a plus for the hands in cold weather. Stay warm up there in Jersey, I know how cold it can get. 🤙🏾

[@davidbcossini8928]

Thanks John for another great video, I live in Southern California in the Inland Empire, and it gets very hot but during the winter months it gets very cold specially in the am hours when I am riding to work, so I am going to get some of those hand guards, and like you said they look very cool on the bike all year round!

[@KingChristian216]

Looks awesome, you should’ve felt it with your winter 🧤 on to make sure there was enough room.

[@ryanm8456]

Looks like a great well made product. Just not something I think I would put on my 2020 Street Glide right now.

[@streetglidebub2039]

nice very nice,will get some in near future,lol luv the install music as well

[@macmac3770]

Okay - I was skeptical at first but damn John, they certainly do look really good. Anything that helps protect the rider and looks good is a plus. 👊🏻

[@cjkirk30s]

I'm still lovin those bars! Hand guards look sweet!

[@cny_glider_rider8659]

Nice! In brings it all together and the protection will be awesome. Put on Coffin style on my 2020 Street Glide with heated grips...fall rides were great, can't wait for spring.

[@josephmirigliano8728]

Looks great John but I’m very surprised you don’t have heated grips on your bike do you have everything else but not heated grips wow

[@vincentrowan2846]

Looks great really aerodynamic blends great with handlebars

[@johndelsordo583]

Looks great . Just like the Batman Motorcycle. Cool .

[@garyboman5018]

Got'em on my Softail Slim. They work great and look good. I'm picking up a set of clear for my 2020 Road King. Sweet build, btw!

[@onlyhereonce7290]

I only ride a few months a year. But that’s just me. I think those hand guards will come in quite handy for those that ride year round.

[@BigdogLarry]

Looks awesome John. I have them on my 2020 Road Glide Special as well. Great hand protection and looks also.

[@geralddupuie3188]

Had them on my 19 and loved them wish they made them for my 21 CVO triglide

[@crashbarmike9002]

Just bought some hand guards. Going to Thunder Beach this year and I’m sure the morning ride down there from Memphis will be cold. And even with the heated grips I think the guards will help.

[@thecomet1948]

The mirror will still deflect the cold air down on your hands in cold weather. So they don’t really help in cold weather.

[@patrickfoley9256]

Looking good 👍 You just gained a couple more horsepower 😆 Keep up the good work!

[@kevincarnes7598]

Hey John, looks great! A nice addition to protect your hands! John, could you mention or show us how your heated gear works? Does it connect to the battery? I’m interested in some heated gear living up here in Michigan! Thanks John!! Great video as always!

[@Rvbiker18]

I don't want to be negative but I'm not a big fan of them, it's going to make the bars vibrate. Ran them on a dirtbike to protect against rocks but because it is on the dirt and not going 70 mpg . I wear a knuckle protective gloves and never had a issue .

[@curtisbanks2335]

Yeah got to be safe good job buddy looks fantastic

[@jimdean6437]

They look great but I'm surprised you didn't go with the PowerMadd guards with the build in lights lol. You need one of your sponsors to get you a flush end front axle. With those rotors I think it might be one of those finishing touches

[@raymondhintz691]

they look great thanks for sharing the install

[@RK_LUX_68]

been umming and aaring for a while, but now im sold

[@stephenuffindell]

Looks greet. Your weather is gust like England.

[@stevenbonnesen5988]

Question...have you ever experienced riding a motorcycle equipped with a hand shift foot clutch set up...I'm betting if you did you'd like it...you can leave the light with one hand on the throttle and the other on the shifter power shift through the gears...your brother's will be tripping on you...lol not much left to change so go hand shifted... rodeo up.. cowboy...enjoy your videos...

[@stevenbonnesen5988]

@@CYCLEFANATIX I've been riding 56 years the last 32 with a hand shifter...if you do decide to try a bike or even make one for Silverback...watch people they'll be wanting to do the same thing...after all what's left...PS my shift handle (aluminum) looks like an 1/8th moon...it was made by a machinist friend...

I think those hand guards would look awesome if they were paint matched somewhat

[@per4mexbagger541]

I like them . I’ll be adding them to the RG

[@redrider0151]

The look great with the bars for sure. I ride with a guy that has always had them on his bike and it never really appealed to me, but its SLOWLY pulling me in...LOLZ

[@RoysMotoVentures]

The hand guards look good. I looking to get a set as well.

[@125saito]

I wish I had a set of those on a couple years back. I use gloves with 1/2 fingers and was riding my Springfield one summer day and POW. Yellow jacket right into the opening of my right social finger. That little c**k smoker stung me about a half dozen times before I could stop and get my glove off. I was ten minutes from home and my hand all but quit working before I got there. Man that hurt!!

[@markgrindy1395]

Looks great!

[@brettfavre1875]

Iv been thinking about getting a pair wish they would go on and off easier like using the mirror whole if u got a street glide with mirror on fairing.. look better than I thought just wish could remove easy and throw in bag

[@joestreetglider]

New subscriber from Toronto Ontario. I love your content. Do these fit Street Glides? I can’t seem to find them online for a 20112 FLHX

[@kevinbeeman8557]

Badd unit. looks good John

[@richardrussell500]

Sometimes form over fashion is important... :-)

[@neilhoogendoorn412]

would it be possible to put your mirrors below the bars instead of on top? Would catch less wind and be less in your forward field of view.

[@CYCLEFANATIX]

I don’t know if I would like the look

[@andrzejkierzkowski5082]

Nice I have same guards and I never regret to install them . Question how much forward that handlebars put you compare factory 47 ?

[@johne6525]

They are great, I have them myself 🤙🤙.

[@duanewilliams4953]

The hand guards look great! I have them on my 2017 Road Glide Ultra. By the way, where did you get those Harley Davidson mirrors? I love them.

That little rock is exactly why I never ride without a full face helmet does not matter how hot the temperature is you remember how that felt on your finger thank what would have been if is in your face or mouth.

[@ronjones5175]

What year model is your bike? Have not been able to find these for a 2021. Had them in my last Roadglide and wanted some for my new bike.

[@jessedemayo4883]

Looks bad ass bro

[@redhorsegarage]

Are you keeping them ON during hot / summer weather?

[@tank7358]

Curious if you are planning to ride Silverback to Daytona, or would you trailer it? I can’t make Daytona this yr, but i am considering a Sturgis run....

[@josephmirigliano8728]

I’m surprise you don’t have heated grips do you have everything else on the bike how come you don’t have heated grips I know you could probably get them for your bike

Do the shields get in the way of your gloves? Looks a little close.

[@jimkelley5578]

John: what song is that?

[@castortroy4502]

Great for the hand protection, but I think they look cheap & a bad look for the bike. Looks more like dirt bike handle bars now

[@dontwowheels1564]

Are you looking at a monitor up and to the right. It makes you look distracted or like a wierdo. Place it directly behind your camera so you look like you talking to us your viewers. Personally I think handguard with a big fairing looks strange. If it works for you great. You like many defeated the purpose of a large fairing by having handlebars way higher than your fairing or windshield which is your protection not to need wind guards
