The Truth about my 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide! 5,000 Mile Motorcycle Review. I was wrong!

[@markmarcelis]

My man Tall! Honest as the day is long. You get lots of love on yt brother. Appreciate you!❤️🏍️❤️

[@alanward9660]

Appreciate the additional info, and the transparency with correcting the H-D locations on the nav. Issue. It’s rare anymore to see, and speaks to your integrity. Keep educating us, and enjoy the ride along the way.

[@joenelson1530]

Man I love your videos. Unlike many other folks you sure don’t sugarcoat anything. Straight up front man. Thanks.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Awesome Bike Tall, Let's ride!. Coming your way soon.

[@Jim_Berry]

Matt, it’s about time you get over to the Eastern US! Can’t wait to see where you go. Later….

[@TravelingTall]

Let me know when. You have my number I think 🤔 if not get it from PJ or Swed.

[@7ludig]

They made the lids lighter to save weight but they are still extremely durable. They made them more flexible so when you over pack your bag, the lid will still close. I talked to Harley DIRECTLY regarding this.

[@marclawrence2009]

Enjoy your videos and here is your chuckle for the day. Have ridden HS for the past 20 years and just bought a BMW 1250 GS as a second ride. Did not have to buy tuners, windshields, suspension, exhaust or anything else. And by the way, this thing blows an HD off the road haha!!!! Makes riding fun and exciting again with the versatility. Ride safe!!!!!!!

[@7ludig]

Super light weight pipes. Again, saving weight. When you take them off & feel them, it's gonna blow your mind how light they are.

[@jasonsensat2799]

I put driver's floorboard extensions on my Street Glide, I love them. My leg doesn't rub my air cleaner anymore. It's just more comfortable all around.

[@TheChuck1960]

I just bought my 2024 Road Glide and I love it. I bought the Sharkskin Blue awesome color

[@williamsaldanah3554]

The cover did interfere with right foot. I put 1.5 spacers on the floorboards, so much more room now

[@garryeuler9173]

you can buy floor board spacers in 3/4" , 1" , 11/4" to move ur boards away from the engine and I think its a very good ,comfortable 25 bucks worth

[@neano62]

Hard to believe all this time you haven’t put floorboard extensions on. Good review

[@cobralife0417]

An honest review. Love it.

[@thexnewyorker7284]

I have the 23.5 CVO . I never tried the nav , I added a CarPlay device and use Waze . I love the new bike . I really wasn’t looking to buy one , but Harley made me an offer I couldn’t refuse and traded in my RG ST for it . Keep the vids coming

[@BobinNH]

Dude, I love your videos. I swear, I learn something every time I watch one. I just picked up mine in June. Haven't had an opportunity yet to put as many miles as I'd like. Pretty soon I hope. I'm 6' tall, so not as tall as you , but I put a Klock Werkz 13.5 windshield on it, and I'm really not happy with it at all. Doesn't look great for one, and I'm getting more wind buffetting than I had with the original! I tried a couple things, with wind deflectors and moving them up an down. It helped a little, but I'm taking the windshield off. There's $275+ down the drain. I'll stick it on ebay or something. Waiting to see your video when you get that shorter Klock Werkz. Anyway, I love the bike, as I can see you do too! Stay safe buddy! I'd love to ride with you sometime!

[@reginaldjohnson9150]

Brother I love your videos. I'm a new rider. Been riding since April this year. Learned alot from you before and after I took the class at HD in Maryville. I live in Oak Ridge. Just outside of Knoxville. Hope that I get a chance to meet you one day. I have a 2019 street bob.

[@TravelingTall]

Congratulations on the new bike. I usually start my rides from Bootlegger Harley-Davidson. You are welcome to ride with me. I'll try to give a heads up the next small group ride I do.

[@reginaldjohnson9150]

@TravelingTall sounds great, can't wait!

[@FatherSarducci]

@@TravelingTall I'll be coming back down after being there in July. Stayed in Pigeon Forge and will not do that again. Any recommendations around Maryville? Hammer @ Smoky HD mentioned a place but I forget the name. I'll be back down around this time next year, July was crazy hot lol. I'm 5 hours south from New Brunswick, so I am not use to the high heat.

[@alfonsothegreat4481]

Thank you for changing your entry music. The previous one scared my dog because of its sudden loudness 😂

[@jstalcup1989]

Owning up to your mistake. Much respect. I might be buying one of these. Love the info you provide

[@MarcusTurner-b5p]

Nice video keep up the good work traveling tall

[@ericmcelroy6970]

Hoping Harley will bring back the Road King chrome with that new 117. Think that would be great with the old style Road King speedometer on the tank.

[@denis9272]

Thx TT valuable info, also rocking the same ride, ⚡️

[@williamhopkins3500]

Hi y’all Tall, nice vid as usual. Maybe you could use a throttle boss to help with wrist fatigue. No need to mess with the cruise unless you want to.

[@RobertJones-ix2hu]

That bike looks awesome!! Also, Those wheels look 100x better than the stock ones. LePera Tailwhip seat must be comfortable, that’s the 2nd or 3rd bike you’ve used that seat on, correct?… Anyways, great review, rad bike! 🤘🏼 Safe travels, sir!…. Well, I reckon I should’ve watched more of the video before commenting 😂

[@Big88Country]

GTG!! Hopefully I'll get to go with you guys on one of the Run to the Hills ride in the near future! Appreciate ya Tall!!

[@frankhabib5748]

Tall: check out the CIRO foot pegs that attach directly to the floor boards. Come in black and chrome. I have them on my 2020 SGS. Fabulous; well made and very adjustable.

[@michaelloseke6991]

Reaching out from Colorado. Love following your post. Keep up the good work Tall.

[@Guti518]

Looks awesome man! Just got my 2024 rg with 500 miles stolen😭😭😭

[@solopod]

I absolutely love the bike I bought it rode it 600 miles home cheeks with numb with the stock seat but overall I was impressed 👍🏾

[@milesbachelor8747]

Thanks for the honest and transparent review, Tall brotha. Decided I gotta have that suspension, front and rear, but on the Street Glide. I’ma huge fan of Rineharts and lower fairings, hope those are still possible options on ‘24 and later models.

[@joenelson1530]

Also talking about the “wobble” it did happen with my 24 road glide once. High speed in a long lazy curve on the interstate. When it happened I couldn’t believe it, I mean brand new bike and all. The only thing I had changed at the point was a taller windshield and I really believe that’s what caused it. It was more of a “javlin” feeling as I call it. Anyway I took that windshield off and it never happened again.

[@TheWhiteheadWay1]

In that situation do you just stiffen up and hold steady?

[@bavarikus4103]

Have the same seat on my 2015 RK. Lepera Tailwhip daddy long legs. Great. I am 6.3. Not cheap in Germany, but the best seat i ever had.

[@CharlesJrSmith]

Great video Tall have you ever tried the cramp buster throttle assist, to me it works really good out on the highway just let my hand reset while cruising down the highway

[@RandyAll]

you know you love that bike i have one and its awesome it rides so much better than the old ones

[@Streetglide2021]

Great info Tall!!

[@billlibby9718]

Hello, Tall. Have you considered putting floorboard spacers on your Road Glide to get your right foot away from the air cleaner and the VHT cam cover? I put the 1.5" spacers on my 2020 Road Glide Limited and really like them. Keep the great videos coming. Thanks, Bill Libby.

[@HD103-l9v]

Have you had an issue with the navigation prompts being low in your communicator? I have a Cardo Edge. I tried everything you can imagine to get the voice prompts louder and stay loud.

[@hogluvr1]

Whew! I thought I was the only one, squirming at about 70 miles. The tailbone gets me. I have the DDL saddle, and it helps, but the ergos for us tall boys could be better. (6"3, and long legs)

[@JonathanSBanks]

I just ordered the Tailwhip Daddy Long Leg seat from LePera. I hope it will be as comfortable as my LePera Outcast from my past bikes.

[@williamhopkins3500]

Hi Tall, I’d love to hear your input on the new tank. It looks a little chopped up from the side view, and I’m not a fan of that gas cap, looks like a “yamakazi” sports bike.

[@gurpreetmanhas1294]

Hey Tall did you get your inner fairing painted or you purchased the pre painted one ?

[@mainebiker]

I use a chep throttle assist from amazon on my 24 glide. I just put my palm on it a lil bit n it does the job

[@TheTitaniumTank]

If you dont even use the radio you might as well be running some TAB Performance Bam Sticks with Zombie Baffles for that real Harley sound and feel. I turn heads on my road glide now from a half mile away.

[@dwight072]

I’ve hand calculated 48.5 mpg on mine

[@RobertJones-ix2hu]

The VVT cover can be removed from your bike if it’s too bothersome. According to Kreusi Originals, On the non-VVT bikes the vvt cover is like the points cover on the previous generation bikes.

[@roadkang-cartwright7390]

When will you be able to put lowers on these bikes❓if touring I prefer lowers and nice highway pegs, a big purchasing point for me

[@TravelingTall]

Surely some on has made an engine that accepts lower by now? If they haven't, they should. It would be interesting in see how they look on the new bikes.

[@tarmak968]

Tall I have tried different suspension on my 2015 RG and finally settled with Ohlins front and back. I would have saved $’s if I had selected Ohlins first!

[@josephmirigliano8728]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ awesome always enjoy watching ride safe and enjoy

[@jpvazquez25]

Great video.

[@romaniorer]

Hi, what model of Ohlins on front susp do you use? is the same as for 2023 NIX22 cartridges? Thanks.

[@alexbrown5229]

Ridingtall what shirt is that. I’m interested!

[@stephen9935]

I love your videos! Have you ever installed fat tire kit on any of your bikes? What are your opinions of them?

[@scottlin777]

Wondering if you can modify the screeming eagle pipes to make them louder.

[@ejdtm]

I see people taking the carbon fiber tip off the exhaust and unbolting the insert, and then putting the cap back on

[@hangtite87]

Cool glasses T.

[@RandyAll]

one more thing add the color mached air deflectors from advanblack and youll love the look

[@rollinwitzig7789]

Do you have to purchase the navigation every year?

[@mattmartinez8850]

The new klockwerks isn’t really tall and the black on black flare shield makes it look even better need to put it on

[@skillz4daze]

First of all, great content as usual, but what tires do you usually prefer, in case I ever missed it?

[@TravelingTall]

It has Dunlops but I prefer Michelin or Shinkos.

[@skillz4daze]

@@TravelingTall thank you very much my brotha! I like to be premeditated before making a purchase. Keep doing your thing, proud of ya👊🏽

[@RandyAll]

[@SlappyAdventures]

Great info..... I learned something...10-4

[@bryanrogers9714]

Do a video with your phone showing engine temps. I have pro street tuner and I connect my phone to the tuner and watch my engine temps. I live in South west Florida it’s super hot. My tuner is showing my temps hitting as high as 350 degrees on my 2023 street glide with the 107 I was shocked that the 107 with a stage one runs that hot. Anyway would make a great video. Thanks Tall!

[@IRONTOSS]

It has water cooled heads which is why it doesn’t overheat. 👍

[@dennispasquale7291]

good show too an many features for an old man

[@kanesword9528]

any problems hitting your knee into the larger air cleaner?

[@ElvisOnAShark]

Question. Is there a reason the yellow fork reflectors are still on? I only ask because IMO it looks much better removed.

[@nerdson18-wheels98]

Where can I find that music at the END

[@frankhabib5748]

Tall: check with John at Freedom Shield in Colorado. He is making several sizes for the 24 RG.

[@juanfgonzalez2039]

2023 street glide standard come with abs and weather control can you get Cruise control for it

[@reven6159]

Absolutely hate the position of the horn button on my road glide. I am 6’2” and there is zero chance I can engage the clutch and hit the horn in fast succession, who knows maybe I have baby sized hands but yeah.

[@craigkemmerzell5741]

I like that seat it looks kool 😎

[@jansing327]

The riding position is not too comfortable...If you are bigger than 6 Ft. tall the Indian challenger & pursuit is more suitable for those riders. Although the bike looks great.

[@TravelingTall]

Not without a tall seat. My Pursuit had a tall seat on it. It gave me plenty of room.

[@jansing327]

@@TravelingTall Which bike do you prefer? The road glide or the pursuit..What's the better bike for you?

[@15Kilo]

I never listen to the radio on my 2011 RG. I do however listen to music via my Cardo

[@knaggs71]

Digging those wheels…🤙🏼

[@RandyAll]

thats why i went with the wedge air cleaner does not get in the way

[@chadledford7928]

How did you set up your custom A mode , I can't find the sweet spot.

[@matthewlemoine6280]

I put my engine on full power, engine retard full and throttle response normal.. abs on normal and traction on normal.

[@ek5150]

Tall, how can the handling be "miles in front of the 2023" when they have the same Ohlins suspension, same frame, same seat, similar motor, same transmission, etc??? Are you talking in stock form??? Because I feel my 23 street glide ST with Ohlins front and back is just as good handling as any new 2024 street glide in stock form.

[@cmdr.sypher1820]

Higher lift cam will have more valve train noise.

[@TravelingTall]

That's true

[@tennwingman3350]

Well no wobble at 112, maybe the wobble starts at 115 maybe that the reason they stopped it at 112. Just kidding, LOL nice bike.

[@MattieXMoto]

With all these mods its over $45k. That is nuts

[@milesbachelor8747]

It’s cool that he maxes out the performance options so we see what’s available, but yeah costly.

[@ElvisOnAShark]

FLOORBOARD EXTENDERS LOL

[@NyteAD]

Still needs inverted forks for sure.

[@Euby83]

How tall are you?

[@anthonymerrill3488]

Commenting for the algorithm

[@RandyAll]

im going with tab

[@BPBailey85]

You could’ve just got an Indian and had these same mods for less the price. A tune would’ve got where you are currently at lol

[@TravelingTall]

What Indian comes with Ohlins? Far as I know none. Ohlins are an upgrade to the stock suspension. The new Harley suspension is good, but I wanted something better. Just like Indian, their suspension is good, but the Indian race team wanted something better, so they got Ohlins. The difference between Harley-Davidson and Indian is when I want to upgrade my bike, there are a ton of options to make it however I want. If I want to upgrade my suspension on my Indian to the same suspension that they have on their race bike, I can't.

[@BPBailey85]

@@TravelingTall -122hp/128tq stock out of the gate I talking overall mods and bang for the buck but yes Fox Racing makes the electronically adjustable rear suspension as a stock mod that comes available with the bike, when you purchase it. Which the company has a long history of making suspensions but lets talk about this 105 HP or the fact it was just cheaper getting a cvo lol. We all know you Harley Davidson, KZbin ambassadors won’t give a honest opinion of the 2024 bikes just like everyone seems to forget about the 2023 VTT and all that “greatest this and that talk”… but pepperidge Farm does 😂

[@NyteAD]

Just my opinion and to each their own but Indian’s race team may have wanted more but that’s probably because they are riding the bike at its full potential. To me on Harley you almost need to upgrade suspension but in the Indian you don’t need to upgrade it. I’m not racing my Harley or Indian but for regular or long distance riding the Harley needs the suspension upgrade and my Indian doesn’t.

[@TravelingTall]

Lol, you should watch a couple more videos on my channel to see the 2022 Indian Dark Horse Pursuit that I rode from California to Tennessee in 57 hours with two back to back 1000 mile days. I don't fall for all the hype from any company, I have to experience it for myself. I found some good things about it and I found somethings that need to be improved. By the way the 108 Power Plus does not make 122/128 at the rear wheel it makes 106HP and 119 Torque.

[@CAGraphics576]

Great review,you obviously know that bike inside and out.

[@markurbancowboy]

Probably didn't heat up because of the liquid cooling.

[@pinguzoe]

this is my opinion. this bike looks like an old bike. the front that holds the lights doesn't seem to be original. seems after market. i know i know im crazy but it is me

[@Biggun454]

It doesn’t look good though. It has nowhere near the road presence of the previous model. Second the fit and finish feels a significant lower quality than before eg Bag lids, speaker grills, cubby lids…cmon someone give us a truthful review. Quality- declined Looks- declined Fit n finish-declined. Rest is a move forward. It’s going to take a “mk2 “development to reclaim the above list of things that have declined. For me it’s the looks. Do a side by side and the outgoing model JUST LOOKS BETTER.

[@TravelingTall]

I like both. The older one gets more comments from non Harley riders. Maybe because of the black and chrome. The new one gets more compliments from people who have Harleys. I don't know the reason behind that, but I like them both.

[@willraven7]

Yep, indian way more comfty....
