⚡How To Install Harley Fat Tire Kit Native 180 Pitbull⚡

[@rams4u2nv]

Hello. I’ve heard several times you have to install the tire in the opposite direction. In other words the arrow that would normally face spinning forward, should be installed in the opposite direction is that true?

[@sikbaggers]

Unless the tire is made specifically for a fat tire application, which I think there is one company now making it, then yes you will run it backwards. I'll try to explain the best I can, The tire you are putting on the front is a rear tire. The tires are manufactured for front or rear, meaning they are glued together a certain way for the specific placement. If you think about it like this, when you are riding and hit your brakes, the weight of the bike is pulling on the back tire, and the weight of the bike is pushing on the front tire. So the "guts" of the tire are acting in different ways. If you put the rear tire on the front with arrows facing forward the bikes weight is now pushing on the tire incorrectly and can cause the tire to come apart internally. It does not change the handleing of the bike at all, even on wet pavement where the grooves come into play to disperse the water..it still does what it is suppoed to do but you wont have it come apart on you over time. I hope this all makes sense and helps..let me know..happy holidays! - Steve

You have one of the best video production, how-to shows for our community. I can't help but love how you smack down those guys who talk so damn much and take an hour to explain the simplest thing like we are in grade school. Then want us to pay for their secret service install shows. I watch your videos about bikes I don't own just so I can learn something new, and understand prespectives that make being a biker better for everyone. Keep Rocking

[@sikbaggers]

Thank you! I do the same thing ...I watch way too much biker stuff on youtube..Always try to learn one new thing everyday. Keeps us in the up and up and puts money back in our pockets where it belongs! Be safe and thank you for checking out the videos!

[@brettshepler2403]

Probably the best video I have seen in clear explanation and overall professionalism I have seen!!

[@sikbaggers]

Thank you for that, Brett! hopefully it helps with your install or at least you know what your installer is doing to your bike when they do it. Pretty straight forward.

Hey Kevin...im diggin it so far...Ive had a few 21 front builds and thats cool but I really think the fat tire looks the best on a road glide...just makes that fairing look at least half way normal...thanks for checking it out sir. Be safe!

A lot of people are using Saran Wrap to put the seal back on over the tube , to prevent the tube from testing the seal when first pushing the seal over the leading edge of the fork tube.

[@djinspector1]

Pages like yours are what motivated me to customize my roadglide. I have minimum experience with a shit ton tools and time. The bike is almost done and now I want to start my own custom shop for dad's with to much time on there hands. Thanks for all the good knowledge

Great video. Just picked up my Native Baggers 180 kit for my 2020 Road Glide. Stopped by their shop to pick it up and they are great guys and very helpful and willing to give you install tips to help you through the process. Can't wait to get my fender back from paint and get the kit on the bike. Thanks for a great video guide to help me get it done.

[@kj8779]

How are you enjoying your day front tire I'm in the market but still not sure is it for looks or performance any advise is appreciated

[@61soldiergirl]

Your commentary was perfect and couldn’t be more clear. But to be honest I would prefer someone with your knowledge and confidence. I’m a welder and fabricator for forty years but when it comes to two wheels Would rather have someone with yrs of bike working experience do their thing for me. Nice job and I can tell your other half has lots of experience also. When she held that fender and grabbed and started that bolt,I said yep she knows 👍🏻

[@sikbaggers]

thank you for the excellent comment..really means a lot to be able to show people how to do it and if they are comfortable enough, they can do it too. This is a slightly bigger project than we usually tackle on our channel but it has saved a lot of people a lot of money and that's all that matters. We also understand that not every project is for everyone..and dealing with wheels, forks, etc can make you second guess yourself...heck, we have scratched our heads a few times here and there lol I'll pass the word on to my wife as well...thank you again!

[@99Z155]

That’s a better video than your last fork replacement vid BY FAR. I did use your last vid as reference when I did my fork job. My only criticism is that when you put that cap back on the top of your tube, I highly recommend starting it by hand if you can and not straight with a power tool. Very easy to cross thread. Then you’re up shit creek. But very well done thank you.

[@sikbaggers]

Thanks man..yeah that old fork video was done on a bad day and I tried to make the best of it...We had plenty of time on this one. Ive done about 30 sets of forks since then too so that helps. Ive never stripped one out with a power tool...this is even how the HD dealership installs them...the cap is tapered to guide it down in the hole properly. I hope I never have to find out the hard way I guess lol

[@99Z155]

Steven Housden that’s good to know! I learned something there. My closest Harley dealer is 150 miles away so I try not to make certain mistakes.

I stuck it with some 3m weatherstrip adhesive & ruffed it up with sandpaper. Took my jigsaw and went back about 2 inches on the clamp and started my v notch and then kind of rounded it out some. 2 carriage bolts to hold it to the angle bracket. the legs are 49mm so I made it slightly smaller than 1.9 inches...I tested it with a 2 inch piece of pipe I had laying around until I got it the size I wanted.

Thanks for video. I'm getting mine Saturday. You didn't cover the direction of tire. I read tire rotation is backwards on front. Is that how I tell left or right side for ABS bearing and wheel install? Thanks

[@sikbaggers]

Yes...there is only one tire on the market that run in the forward direction as far as I know and it the perelli, I believe. Look for the arrows on the side of the tire and make sure it is ran backward when you install it. The tire is ran backward because it is a rear tire. The rear tire is made differently than the front for braking reasons. when you hit the brakes the tire in the rear is has the weight of the bike in front and the front has the weight of the bike in the rear pushing on the tire. So when you move it to the front you have to run it backwards. I hope that makes sense..that's a short form explanation.

[@jerrypolete5258]

What is a better choice in your opinion… the road glide limited that comes with the trunk or go with the special and have the trunk added? I can’t make up my mind.

[@sikbaggers]

Hey Jerry...Firstly make sure you note the differences between the RG and the RG limited..The limited has a Road king rear end so no fender extension which is the filler panels on the back side between the fender and the bags, every limited guy calls me and asks how to fill those gaps...simple, should have got a RG or RG special, tour pack is hard mounted and will cost another 3 to 400 to make it a quick detach. In my opinion the limited is not a good choice based on price. Because you have options on the tour packs..unless you just want everything coming from Harley and if you do then it wont matter get ready to get your wallet out. Over at advanblack we sell color matched tour packs, stretched bags, lower leg fairings..all that stuff that comes on that limited but at a fraction of the cost of HD...and we color match around 85 colors right now. So as long as we do your color we can paint those parts for you as well. The only difference between the standard and the special is the radio, One has navigation and one doesn't, abs brakes and maybe a few minor colored parts here and there on the M8 engine...thats it. One other thing to note is that almost ever limited has a 2 tone paint job...if you ever want to add something to the bike you youll have to pay double the price for paint from HD to color match it...Basically if you get the ultra your stuck with it the way it is..if you get the special it givies you room to make it your own, which we all say we wont do anything to the bike but we all do eventually...its a bike...we want it to be custom to us., Just something to think about. here is my honest opinion...I have bought 2 touring models and got them both standards. The harley navigation sucks, bad, so I wouldnt pay more for that, the abs is cool but ive never had it on any bike so no lose to me. I would never pay the extra for the special or the limited. Its not worth the money. Then I took those standards and the money I saved and made them my own. Please check out my videos on "Full build lists" I have one for the SG and the RG. Get the cheaper bike, get a plan i your head how you want it and then start looking at advanblack for the color matched parts that you want to upgrade. You can add the lower fairings and quick detach tour pack and basically have an ultra with a fender extension that loks way better than those nasty gaps back there, at a fraction of the cost. Sorry to have such a winded comment but ive been down this rode with so many customers before and I hate to see people throw away hard earned money.

@@sikbaggers yeah, on the installation instructions it said torque to 50 ft lbs so that's what I did. Finished it successfully. My last step is to install 2 inch fairing drop and I'm all done! Question regarding that is, am I repacking the stock bolts with the 4 bolts that come with the kit? Or is it some sort of thing that calls fore to use both the stock and native provided bolts. Sort of confused with it. I have the ratchet straps ready and already removed the headlight and outer fairing

[@marcusjackson5122]

Why did you install a progressive 1" drop in lowering kit? What does it do for the ride?

[@josephkomara718]

Sik video. Any discounts from native through you? I want to do it to my 13 street glide

[@melloello7057]

Wow made that fork job, look easy...first time I did it, took me a lot longer than that...

[@sikbaggers]

lol..my first one took forever man...I was more worried about putting all back together correctly and kept second guessing myself lol after you do a few its not too bad. Thanks for checking out the video sir.

[@MrPemax365]

How likely is it to do that same system with an air ride?

[@sikbaggers]

here are my 2 videos on front and rear air ride with this bike ...... Front - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJW6qmOtq7Fojbssi=471fMSnpfsnlpVV7 and Rear - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2jPmJmrjM6YeJosi=crxwiNaybLQOcnYi

Good stuff thanks looks awesome

Great Vid Bro. , what fat fender did you use?

[@manchudragon1625]

love the video it answered a lot of questions I had. only thing I wondered, i heard when doing the fat tire kit you have to put the new front tire on backwards. is this true and if so why? wont that affect the wet traction riding?

[@sikbaggers]

The tire is designed for one direction. The rear tire has force when accelerating. The front tire does not accelerate the tire. The front tire force is when braking. So you reverse the tire. No issues in rain...weve all been in down pours and the tires handle amazing! Hopefully this helps explain. Pirelli is trhe only one that makes one called the night dragon that you mount forward but really no need to spend that much on a tire.

I have a 2019 Road Glide and looking to do a Fat Tire wondering which size is best 18" or 21" or 23" . What would be the difference in ride and all...

[@manuelrivera6873]

I do very much like this video, but at 16 minutes into the video you mentioned torque bolt spec for top bolt at 22-59 pounds and bottom bolt with crush washer is 11-18. The range on the top bolt is very high. Should that be corrected? You are very comfortable with what you are doing. Your experience turning wrenches shows. I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos as this was my first.

[@sikbaggers]

I agree Manuel...that is probably one of the most spread out torque values I have seen on a harley but I doubled checked the service manual and it says "fork tube plug 22 - 59 ft lbs. I think I torqued mine out to 48 ft lbs. Thanks for checking out the channel as well. The whiskey project has come along way and we still have some more videos coming ..some easy stuff and some more maintenance stuff as well.

[@8822fitzy]

Steve you make it look easy! Great video man!

[@sikbaggers]

Hey buddy...its not too bad ...worst part is that top cap under that spring...LOL Ive had those come off and go flying across the shop before....thats why I use the rag now...kinda holds it all better than oily slick hands thanks for checking it out man!

Do the fat tyres handle better?
