I appreciate all your explaining and educating on all that , helps in future decision making and shopping . Love to see it again with the tour pack but Love “Mad Max “ aka “Kong” ! Great Job!!!👍🏽💯 👏👏👏

[@patrickhollis5332]

Appreciate your service man and for all that’s served and serving now we wouldn’t be doing any of this without any of y’all period and all of our first responders too thank all of y’all

[@petelarrier1811]

John it’s a nice example of a sick sport touring setup. I personally like all the options you’ve done as well. I’m 6’4” 36” inseam. Did Kraus 2+ front and I’ve got 13” shocks with 1” extensions. You’ve inspired to start a mid Control search. Last but not lease thank you for service and continued support of our brothers and sisters.

[@shawngriffo1961]

John the bike is awesome!! I really like the look of the white seat. Components all look great in the direction you went with. I’m sure you will add some more through out the riding season. Thank you for your service .

[@ryanm8456]

I was in the Army from Nov 1986 to Nov 1997. Thank you for your service as well John. You are one stand up dude. I enjoy following you. I’m gonna have to buy a sticker for my tool chest.

[@shasiceruti8994]

Thank you for your service John! Bike is coming along very nice & the camping video was awesome.

[@markguarini-id3rt]

Good morning John…first and foremost thank you for your dedication to your country and service! Mad Max is amazing! You have given me lots to think about…the suspension, bars and pegs are all game changers! Great content and channel…please keep up the great work!

[@stevenwright6573]

I love the lights dude. I'm a big fan of modern bright LED lights and the crisp bright look those lights have then switch to amber for turn signals, love it man. Beautiful. People will see you and you intentions from a mile away, you see at night really well and they look bad ass at all times. This is what we want to look like. Nice!

[@rschris]

Hey John, don’t worry about the haters. Happy Veterans Day to you as well hey bro it’s your bike your the one laying down the miles and we are your guest as far as I can see. Your just taking us along for the ride, you give all these awesome tips and insights . I respect your opinion anyways you logged the miles you rode the bike you went to the events , I just want to say Thank You for taking us along. Especially one Vet to another !!! Keep the videos coming , your doing awesome bro. Can’t wait to see the trips and other events you got planned to go to !!! Keep the Rubber side down!! Semper Fi !!

[@jerseyboy1878]

I just picked up my first Harley Davidson I’m 56 years old. I bought a 2020 road glide limited. Love the bike. Been following you for a while now. I love your videos. Have a great weekend.

[@ek5150]

Great build, great video, excellent advice and insight to the build. 10/10 episode. I love that you are grabbing a black seat and will keep the white one for special occasions. Have you thought about chroming your lower fork sliders?? or blacking them out? Everything else matches perfectly with the chrome and black theme.

[@freewheeler7232]

Hey John.. thank you for your service and i thank all the men and women in the military now and before. We just sent off our middle son to the United States Army this past Monday. Mad Max is a beast looks beautiful.👍🤙

[@marcasselin8292]

I love this build too my man, all the long distance boxes are checked suspension, lighting, seat and bars, without wasting cash on Too much bling, and the mild yet awesome stage 2 setup, perfect ! Now lets start racking up some miles ! Oh ya and move that extension cord or wear a helmet in the garage ! lol

[@jeffsilvia2522]

I wouldn’t do anything else either. Mad max look awesome. My 2022 Road king is going to Dave in a few months just for a stage two can’t wait. Also I love the longer videos👍. Happy Veterans Day to all!!

[@juanandbikes]

Thanks for the review!!! I’m was planning on getting the Road Glide ST next spring, but thanks to your videos, I may go with the standard, and get the suspension done.

[@robertfagan8833]

Great video John. Great bike and build John. Thank you for your service brother

[@scottpeters2974]

John, probably your best video yet! Really appreciate the Veterans day shout out. We have a son in the Airforce. The build came out perfect. Didn't know about the Quad lock and wireless charging I use the Ciro phone holder with wireless charging because of nothing being stuck on the back of my phone. Thanks again for your service.

[@scottpeters2974]

@@CYCLEFANATIX Will do, Thanks. He is flying home from Cali for the holiday. Thanks.

[@stevemcconnell9102]

Suspension is the most overlooked part of setting up a bike and most overlooked in the cruiser world. Getting the sag and compression and rebound settings correct for your weight and riding style is HUGE! Doesn't matter how much power you have if you can't utilize it.

[@rogershinton7483]

A Lot of guys are into the penis extension power thing however,most times the power curve is in the rpm range above your normal riding range.

[@71donkrider]

Man you really knocked it out the park on this build!! Keep it simple and ride more!!! Hoorah!!!!😃👍🏽🤛🏽

John Mad Max came out amazing ! In person it's even nicer than video !

[@cliffordperanio9929]

Thank you for your service. I have a 2015 Street Glide Special denim black and I added the same color tourpack to it. The original seat is wearing out and that seat that you have I think would put a nice contrast to it. I live in Port Saint Lucie Fl. In moved from Brooklyn then to Coram Long Island and my home is in Port Saint Lucie Fl. I’m down here for almost 30yrs. I drove from Coram back to Forest Hills Queens. 6 days a week working for a Zenith authorized TV repair shop anyway my 2yr. Older brother then taught me how to ride mini bike and then I new I would be riding my my hole life. He also bought a fox go cart with a McCullough 70 engine worked out. We used to take it out to aqueduct racetrack on the weekend and we raced it in the parking lot I was hooked forever so I riding motorcycles from 13 till today and I get a new 2015 Harley Street Glide Special Denim Black. I’m 72 yrs old now and I’m thinking about a new one. They look so beautiful and I like there new braking system. Anyway I like that White seat you are selling. Would you be able to ship that to me and how much do you want for it. Thanks Cliff Peranio

[@painsrides3616]

Happy Veterans Day John, thank you and all Veterans for defending our great Country. I agree, anything over a Stage 2 and you're going to have to start upgrading engine internals and cooling. I still feel Max is a good setup for more power...Trust me, mid-teens Hp and Tq is good, but just a little to little for a loaded up 850lb touring bike and it gets boring after not too long. With some smart internal upgrades the M8 can me made super reliable and be putting down around 130hp\135tq .

[@albertharper9048]

Great video, a couple days ago I was riding from Camp Verde to Payson and it was in the 20s. I didn't feel that bad with my heated gear but thought hand guards and a couple cloth covers on the crash bars would be a good addition. I'll get those now that I watched this. Thanks

[@grootsgracemission]

It’s a very cool build. Suspension and Bars is on the list of must haves. Hand guards also a must have if you go on LONG rides. 18,888mi since 15May2022, I can’t wait for the snow to melt in Canada.

[@soldier09r]

I just got my suspension in last week from Fox! First time doing suspension on my RG and im excited to see what everyone has been talking about. I always do a 6” windscreen because I wear a full face helmet now so wind is no longer a concern. My personal preference is to have that sleek look over the high windscreen. Also have the S&S 475C paired w/ Thundermax and it’s getting dyno’d as well. Bars and risers from L.A Choppers. My RG ST is almost ready for spring! Good video!

[@carlosuribe9006]

First and foremost thank you directly for your service and defenetly anyone who has and is serving. I am new to the channel and trying to familiarize, def will come back.

[@a.r.o7697]

I used the Bung King aluminum lift block and it isn't the best look, but it gives the bike the stock lean back. You have to drill through the foot of the kick stand and it took a little patience and a busted drill bit before I had both holes drilled, but the lift block does it's job.

[@michaelpullen6812]

Very nice build! Totally agree on a max of stage 2….I love power but make trips from North Texas to AZ/Daytona/Sturgis/Laconia and I need the peace of mind out on the road that comes with a mild not wild motor. Riding position and suspension is a huge upgrade. Nice work!

[@1rognyc]

Love the front light set up, seat looks unique. Bike coming along great.

[@SJBagger]

All makes sense to me brother. I would however also change the comp ramp. Great vids as always

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

It’s an awesome build. And way better in person! 🔥💯

[@MrVtwinTorque]

Excellent video, excellent explanation, much logic conveyed, thank you!

[@elvisman8721]

Love everything you you decided to custom as well as what you decided not to custom. That’s a killer road glide, stands out even though it’s black. Only 130 days til spring😉 Agree with staying stage 2, anything more means more maintenance and higher chance of breakdown. I still think you should upgrade the compensator. You make it to through Minnesota next summer, give me a shoutout & I’ll tour ya through 👍🏻

[@neildewitt2869]

Is that an open invite for anyone? I'll be down in June.

[@rickherbert3496]

Concerning you hand guards I think they look fine. I ride a Street Glide and the faring covers my hands. I use Gerbing heated gloves and jacket liner. I got them because of your videos and I am very happy with them. Great build I love your bike, excellent job.

[@viper1837]

Happy Veterans Day John and to everyone who has served or is currently serving. Mad Max is looking pretty awesome right now can't wait for some future trip videos.

Right on John, Congrats!

[@jeffwinebrenner8932]

John, I love the bike and where you have taken it, makes sense to me. I have the S&S 465 torque cam in my 19 Tri Glide, totally change the dynamics of the Trike, we do a lot of 2-up riding, torque comes on at 1500 rpm and climbs to 130 torque at 3000 rpm, feels like I need a 7th gear at highway speeds though. I have to be careful can pull the front wheel in second gear cracking on it - no steering lol

[@saddlemenusa]

Coming along nicely John - good work!

[@nicewhip9854]

Looks amazing well done !!!

[@biggs125]

2 separate builds both nice , I wouldn’t compare them 👍🏽👍🏽

[@billcarothers9182]

Thank you for your service !!

[@cewonz8884]

John... the hand grip shields are very practical. It doesn't takeaway the cool factor in my opinion. I would get em' too. I understood loud and clear that.. why would you put all that powerful stuff on your bike where most HD dealers can't work on the the needs you may have. I'm not a fan of that kind of stage stuff but to each it's own. Make bike you want to enjoy. Great video John Blessings! 👍🏽✌🙏🏾😎

[@michaelpatrina6183]

Thank you for your service sir. Great videos!

[@midwestvenom1]

You should sand or sand blast the axle nut covers so the match the fork lowers. Plus they would be custom instead of what everyone else has. 👍

[@sailormotoTV]

🔥That setup is sick! And those handguard..🔥🔥🔥

[@tedzirbes6713]

Thanks for your service, bike is really nice, I don’t get the white seat but it’s your bike your choice. Best of luck with it👍🏻

[@professor767]

Thank you for your service, John. Nice bike. Thanks for taking us through the build.👍

[@bumrush5314]

Looks good John. I know for myself I have a 2011 street glide, I did a Harley 110 kit in it and the biggest thing I noticed was the power to weight ratio felt the way it should be. Haven’t ridden the 107 or 114 but I imagine they have the same feel.

[@freebehindbars8654]

Not much power difference between that 110 and 107, just different rev and temp for sure.

[@stuartberke5845]

Of course that seat will stain. I told ya. 😁. Looking good John.

[@MrDoyle07]

I formed out a 1” block of Lexan to extend my kickstand. It works great and a bonus was that it takes all the punishment from the ground instead of my kickstand. Drilled a couple of holes in the kickstand and threaded them to 1/4-28 thread then a couple of countersunk holes in the Lexan block and fabbed the stainless bolts to finish flush with the upper surface of the jiffy-stand. Looks and works great!

TotLly awesome upgrades, J. Appreciate the in-depth description and explanation of your experiences with the upgrades. Looking into some upgrades in my 17 Road King, especially the mid controls and Santoro bar. Amazing!! Happy Veterans Day (Army NG 90-98)

[@chiefer8631]

Im 6"2 as well and did the rear shocks to a 13 inch and getting ready to do the front suspension. It is a world of difference in ride when the suspension is tuned to you style. By far it should be the 1st thing riders do is set your suspension up and the bike will be a whole new ride it will feel like a feather and fall in and out of the corners with such ease and give you as a rider alot of confidence to handle twisted roads. It dont matter what bike it is tune that suspension to your bodyand riding style

[@edouble2411]

Nice motorcycle love your ideas the seat is awesome.

Nothing better than a motorcycle that you’ve made your own. And to hear you say 150+HP isn’t required to have a great time is what I been saying. I have friends with big hp motors and they just aren’t as reliable and ends up being money pits. And they can’t ride in the Texas heat😂 I’m happy for you brah.

I’m glad you’re loving the new bike john. Suspension of the ground clearance is going to make that bike a lot more enjoyable for you to ride. He’s like me you have that sport bike background and the Harley geometry and chassis set up from the factory just doesn’t work for guys like us. Suspension is so key and a lot of people don’t even consider it. All they wanna do is make more power they forget that without control the powers almost meaningless
