Bike looks great! I do like the look of the short bags and that color looks identical. Only thing I don’t like on the new bags is the latch is chrome vs red (personal preferences of course). :) I like the option of the Harley name spelled out.

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I'll probably change out the chrome latch to color match soon. I appreciate the input on the logo. ✌️👊👍

[@PinksAdventures]

I've always liked the look of the standard bags vs the stretched bags! Looks good! Go with the bar and shield! My 0.2$! Stay safe out there!!😎👍🤙👍🤙🇨🇦

My opinion, i like the harley davidson logo across the bag. Not the emblem in the lower corner. Great video.

looks good but I prefer the stretched look. I would use a smaller logo on the bags.

In the process of upgrading my 2021 street glide special I just got two weeks ago. Just ordered the flat out/engine bars and hidden in the batwing antenna. Got heated grips and fairing vent (with open/close button) and the four point docking hardware put on. I replaced my saddle bag bolts with Rickrak bolts. I also ordered the touchup paint from Advanblack which should be here any day. I will re watch your video on that product for sure. Over the winter will be doing my research on a king tour pack with all of the hardware. Maybe led turn signals and lighted switch pack too. It's nice that your bags came assembled. They look good. Personally I like my stretched bags because they hold just a little more in them. I think the harley davidson name would look better than the bar and shield.

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks Scott for watching and commenting. There is always things to change when you get a new bike. Ride safe and enjoy. ✌️👊👍

[@marathon1972]

I think it would look great with the harly logo on the new bags. $600 is a steel!

[@mickeygaines007]

One of the great thing about Harley’s, your imagination is the limit on what you can do. I do hope Harley goes more to a system of being able to order up what you really want on the bike and have it show up at the dealership that way. Give you the cost of the stock part as credit. Bike comes to you closer to how you want it and no extra time in the garage/shop

Your modifications have enhanced the bike. The bar and shield would be a good custom touch. With the engine upgrades has there been a change in fuel mileage? Keep up the good work!

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching and commenting. The fuel economy has actually improved. I'm getting between 42 and 45 mpg. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👊👍

[@bbanderso]

Thank you for the update.

Smart move to keep the 2021. You've sunk a ton of money in it and J D Power has value at $20,310. It's similar to building a $50,000 pool at a $300,000 home. Value is still $300,000 at sale.

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching and sharing your perspective on the topic. Yep...I'll be keeping it now matter if I get a new one or not. Ride safe and enjoy. ✌️👊👍

[@larryyudin1895]

Looks better with there new bags IMO. Not a fan of stretched bags. Can you swap out the latch LED’s or do you have to get all new. I know once the sequentials are applied, they’re pretty well stuck. Go with the Harley-Davidson sticker and save the emblem for something else. Beautiful bike.

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks Larry for watching and commenting. I can swap out the entire latch cover that had the lights in them. Just takes a little time and all good. The bag lights will have to be new as those are stuck on the other bags pretty much for ever. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

[@jeremyaspen5610]

Looks great! Thats how they should've came. Are you gonna remove the mullet off the bottom of the fender to make it even with the bags?

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Unfortunately to remove that I'd have to change out the rear lighting set up as that houses the rear CVO style lights. But maybe in the future.

[@SmittybuiltHD]

Thanks for video Rick. Those h3 bags looks real nice. How about Harley Davidson ghosted into the vivid black. Like a faint or fading red on black? Also, question in the step up seat. Does that sit you closer to the tank or farther away then stock hd seat? Thanks again for all your sharing of your upgrades and reviews.

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching and commenting. That is a great suggestion. The step up seat in the regular reach sits me a bit closer to the tank than stock. They do have an extended reach that will put you back farther than stock. Ride safe and enjoy. ✌️👊👍

[@irshred]

Nice bike. What kind of seat fastener is that??

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching and commenting. The seat fastener is from Saddlemen. It's a security fastener that is available on the Saddlemen website. Thanks for your support and ride safe. ✌️👊👍
