Nice pillion seat and bag! The fender extension, mud guard, will be very useful. Thanks for posting this one Ty.

[@TyFromTennessee]

Thank you very much! I’m looking forward to using it more and more…

[@ABVS.]

Sir, There's so less content available on the accessory list for sportster S that your video is such a welcome footage and much needed. Regards from India

[@TyFromTennessee]

Hi Shasta! Thank you so much for commenting and I appreciate your kinds words. I have a windshield on order so I’ll do an install video as soon as I receive. Please consider subscribing to the channel. Have a great day!!

[@rookietv5450]

finally please do a review of the pillion seat this would be a big deciding factor for me

[@TyFromTennessee]

Great idea. I'll see what I can do after I ride around with it for a bit. Thanks for watching!

Excelent video Ty! Thank's for share this mod instruction for the sportster S!

wow looks killer fam!! Great Share!!

[@TyFromTennessee]

Thanks man. I really do appreciate your comments and your time tonight!

[@ChopperFett]

Looks pretty functional. I’m not sure I could go to the two up seat though. The look of the stock is just primo but understand your need for doing it. Great work Ty

[@TyFromTennessee]

I think it does sacrifice a little bit of design for functionality, but I'm ok with that. Gotta take my swag with me wherever I go! Thanks for watching!

[@ryanclark2539]

Such a great looking bike

[@randallzook5570]

Great video Ty please keep them coming. Will a 12 pack fit in that tail bag?

[@TyFromTennessee]

Hi Randall! I’m sure about a 12 but you could get a 6 pack and some snacks for sure! I really appreciate your time sir. Thank you for watching!!

[@randallzook5570]

@@TyFromTennessee Looks like it will fit expanded. I like to run errands with my new sporty not big on the long rides but this bike is perfect for around town. I just bought it a couple of weeks ago it's frustrating that not one accessory is in stock and all but a few are back ordered. Ordered the mid controls, wind shield, crash bar, passenger pillion with back rest, and the tail bag of course. Love riding it but I find the forward controls to be awkward feel like I'm pulling on the bars with my feet so far forward. Thanks again for your videos Ty much appreciated my friend.

[@HarleyFatBoyJr]

wow that's the a killer lookin bag

Hey Ty this is Ty from Texas. How much clothes can you fit in that tail bag? Maybe only like for an overnight trip?

Nice clear video but what about foot pegs ? Would be great to see the final pillion position when sat on the bike .

[@TyFromTennessee]

The rider footpegs are ok and comfortable considering. I won't be doing any pillion riding on my Sportster S. Thanks so much for your comment. I appreciate your support for the channel!

New bike is looking really good brother, great install. Be safe.

[@TyFromTennessee]

Thanks man. I really do appreciate that! Take care and thank you for watching!!

[@slimygoon9993]

I personally want to get this set up with the added backrest for the passenger, mostly for the tail bag and rain guard tho (but also on the off chance someone wants to ride with it’ll be ready) I just would want to paint the rain guard vivid black to match the bike rather than the matte.

[@TyFromTennessee]

That's a great idea for sure. I never do any two-up riding, but the tail bag is great just to carry a few needed items. Thank you very much for watching!

[@jrparker4804]

Great video, thanks!

[@TyFromTennessee]

Thank you very much. I appreciate your time!

[@fredorivers4120]

Ty, would you know if you can simply install the rain guard without having to install the small seat and just put the rear fender on?

[@TyFromTennessee]

I think the pilliom bag requires the pillion seat to be strapped to. Kinda a bummer that you have to pay the extra for the tail bag too. Thanks for watching!

[@brianbraden2697]

Great video. This is my next mod. I noticed you didn't install the passenger foot pegs. Do you have a video on that?

[@TyFromTennessee]

Hey Brian! No video on that. I won't ever be riding two up on the Sportster S so I'm going to leave off the passenger foot pegs. I have ordered the windshield and a radiator guard so more install videos will be out as soon as I receive those products. Thank you very much for watching!

[@joey8390]

Hey Ty! Great video. Does the mudflap need to be installed for the passenger seat?

[@TyFromTennessee]

I think so. There is probably a way around that, but when I ordered the pillion kit it was a part of the order. I hope that helps. Thanks Joey!!

[@serhi03944]

thanks! but how did you mount the bag on the pillion seat?

[@TyFromTennessee]

There’s a couple of straps that connect to the pillion seat. It’s very simple to tie down. Thanks Sergey!!

[@John316Allen]

Love the video and your info on the bike in general. One thing though, you have to install the bag straps when you install the Pillion Seat. Your video didn't show that. I had a helluva time with the screws under the seat. I used a bit locked into a vice grip. My back is hurting!! LOL Tomorrow I go to work backpack free. I cant wait!!! Thanks for everything TY.

[@TyFromTennessee]

Hi John! Yeah, I should have been a bit more clear with that for sure, but I do hope some of the video was helpful. I really appreciate your time and support for the channel. Keep watching. More Sportster S content will be out soon!

[@John316Allen]

@@TyFromTennessee It was very helpful and your videos are entertaining. Thanks for putting in the time. Its really nice of you to do that.

[@tonyt-bone8180]

So Ty , do you have to have the pillon seat for the bag ? Or can you just hook it to the existing tail or body work ?

[@TyFromTennessee]

I think you will need the pillion seat. There are a few connectors that the bag has to latch onto underneath the seat. I hope that helps and thank you for watching!!

[@dr.manojarka]

Great vid 👌

[@TyFromTennessee]

Thank you very much!!

[@ekstromadriano]

How long do you think it will take to swap back and forth? Would like to get a bag and pillion for mine but only use it for longer trips, so i would be switching now and then. Thanks for the video 👍

[@TyFromTennessee]

Probably just a few minutes to remove it once you get the hang of it. I take the tail bag off when I was the bike and it's not that big of a deal. Thank you very much for watching!

[@jackfallert9343]

Does the bag fit on the bike by itself or do you need the pillion to be installed first?

[@TyFromTennessee]

According to the H-D instructions you need the pillion seat. The bag has two small straps that bolt into it. Thanks for watching Jack!!

[@1320Exotic]

@@TyFromTennessee was going to ask the same question, don't care for the fender extension, like the bag. Have a few Harley's about to pull the trigger on a Green Sportster S, I've watched all your videos and am very thankful for them. Keep On Keepin On. Who knows, may run into you, have a cabin in Ellijay Ga. just down the road from Chattanooga. :)

[@vladserbanescu5394]

@Ty, do you need the pillion seat to install the tail bag? Or can I install the tail bag directly on my Sportster S without the pillion seat?

[@TyFromTennessee]

From everything that I have experienced you need the pillion seat in order for the tail bag to attach properly. I appreciate your time. Thanks for watching!!

[@NVARider]

Looks like a great setup! Sure hope you never have to have a passenger. Haha. Not much padding there.

[@fernandosestini3373]

Does the tail bag need the pillion seat to be installed? Than comes out to a heavier price tag between both items ….

[@TyFromTennessee]

Hey Fernando. As far as I know the configuration that I have will require the pillion seat because the tail bag connects to it. Thank you very much for watching! I appreciate your time today!

[@randallzook5570]

Did you purchase your Bluetooth helmet integrated sound or did you add it? I was looking at the Harley Davidson Boom!™ Audio N02 Full-Face Helmet but the cheapest I could find was from Utah HD $440.00. Watched a youtube review and one of the comments said that the helmet is made by Sena and it's just the momentum model with the HD logo. So I ordered one for $250.00 on eBay hoping I can enjoy more of the tech features that this bike offers. Thanks

[@TyFromTennessee]

Hey Randall. I have the Sena 10c Evo. I buy the expansion kit so that I can move the headset from helmet to helmet. The Sena records great audio and music quality sounds great too, in my opinion. When it comes to my videos I mainly record the audio straight to my GoPro. I hope that helps. Let me know I’m happy to answer any questions. Thanks for watching!!

[@allanmobley940]

Excellent walk through, Ty. I went with the sundowner seat and pillion. Still waiting for my bag. If you are getting the windshield, just a heads up, I had to use some extra washers on mine to achieve maximum tightening. Otherwise, the provided hardware left the clamps a bit loose on the windshield mounts. Poor design, if you ask me. Outside of that, the clamps themselves hold tight to the bike forks and the windshield looks great.

[@TyFromTennessee]

Thanks for the information on the windshield Allan. I’ve got that one on order. As soon as it arrives I’ll do an install video for it too. Thank for watching!!

The pillion seat is very small and doesn’t have much padding. I think they make a Sundowner version that is more comfortable. Yes, lots of power but you can always get a backrest so you don’t lose your passenger! Thanks for watching!!
