Rosy! Your experience with your Lowrider-S is exactly mine - same color, I poured a ton of time and effort into comfort and performance mods, loved that bike… but… one day at the dealership I was talked into a test ride on a Road King and I traded up. I even got the little rider backrest for my 53 year old lumbar. Keep on ridin’ Rosy, love the content I’m a big fan. 👍

[@rosyrosenblum9823]

Wow, thank you Randall I appreciate the comments and you watching. I still get a little sad every time I see a bike that looks similar to mine, but then I remember why I got rid of it

[@Hogdriver88]

Looks good. I did the same with my '15 Ultra Limited. If it was this color I might still have it! Went for a '21 Road Glide Limited in this color - will be doing the tour pak removal over this winter.

[@rosyrosenblum9823]

Thanks for watching, appreciate the comment. I ended up switching to a 23 Roadglide ST I do miss the looks of the ultra though

And THANK YOU for YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY BROTHER, I'm a Veteran as well. I owned an 07 Heritage Softail Classic and I enjoyed the Heel-Toe Shifter. 🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾

[@dbbamboo8984]

First, Thank you both for your Service! I wanted to say I do like my heel shifter. This the first bike I have owned with one. (‘19 Limited) Had the bike a couple of years now and several month ago decided to make a effort to try and use the heel shifter. Now I love it. Being in SWFL I ride in shorts and sneakers a lot, stupid I know but it damn hot here. The shifter pretty much ruins sneaker after a while so I have been up shifting with my heel and down shifting with my toe and it gets the job done pretty damn well although I had 30 + years habit to break. Rosy Thanks for the info I am planning on stripping my Limited down to more of a Street Glide look now that my wife rides her own Deuce.

To wire those in do I need to get special wires or do the current blinker light wires clip on to the turn signals you added. Thanks for any help. Pete

[@rosyrosenblum9823]

Just plugged them right in to the factory plug and they were great. I also have added a low profile brake light/turn signal because from an angle you cannot see the brake lights between the bags and the fender

Sorry, I don’t agree. After using it for a while it was driving me batty with the distorted view. Just like Adam , I ended up going with freedom shield

[@thanosetsitty1896]

I’m thinking about going the other way. By a street glide and buy tour pack and lowers for long distance. Or just a luggage rack and back rest for me and the wife. Instead of buying an ultra. Which way is cheaper you thinker?

[@jolkraeremeark6949]

That factory tour pack is rather spendy. There are, of course, aftermarket options but I certainly would want exact color match.

[@tomb.8485]

I did the Street Glide 115th Anniversary, added the matching big tour with after market locks. Went with the soft lowers because I don’t like lowers all the time. But when it is cold or raining hard, pop them on. Bought the big heated hammock seat for when I have the tour pack on or plan on over 300 miles that day. Love the versatility it all gives me, but the coolest thing is the Harley garage door opener. Never miss a beat and just ride right into a waiting garage every time. Keep the rubber side down.

[@rosyrosenblum9823]

Definitely go with the basic bike and add a tour pack and lowers

[@anthonyresto8596]

Great bike is your backrest from benlari?

[@rosyrosenblum9823]

That is the factory Harley backrest for touring bikes

[@bensatterwhite5694]

Harley laughs all the way to the bank every time some one buys a street glide over the ultra classic. You get less and pay more. No tour pack, no running lights, a worthless windshield, and not much of a passenger seat for several thousand dollars more. Good job on converting your ultra classic. You can always go back to a full touring bike if you want.

[@rosyrosenblum9823]

Agreed although I will probably start blacking pieces out little by little. I do like the black out look with a chrome engine

[@brookebrawley2142]

Both the tail light and the lights between the bags and the fender are from custom dynamics. I believe the license plate relocation was from Kuryakyn. Thanks for watching!

[@ccollins9981]

you didn't mention the license plate relocation, I'm guessing custom dynamics?

[@rosyrosenblum9823]

You are correct, you will also need to replace the tail light which you’ll see in my new video. Otherwise the light window points up instead of down onto the license plate

question i am in the middle of doing this my self and the only license plate relocation bracket i can find "unless i get the whole kit from Harley" is the same as yours, How do you like up the plate, as the tail light has the clear part on top? for the tour pack? or do you just not worry about it ?

The license plate relocation was a Custom Dynamics piece and cost about $50, In a later video, I replace the tail light with a custom dynamics turn signal tail light with the license plate window on the bottom. Thanks for watching feel free to hit me up if you have any questions

The street glide does sit lower, I believe the rear shocks or 12 1/2 inches, on the Electra glide they are 13 1/2 inches.

[@bikerheart]

According to Harley's U.S. and Canadian web sites the Ultra is more $$ than either the Street Glide or the SG Special. And even with the lowers you still need more protection for your knees.

[@rosyrosenblum9823]

If you’re looking at the ultra limited you would be correct, the ultra classic was cheaper. I did not want liquid cooling, that’s the main reason I wanted the ultra classic instead of a limited

[@redblazehorse]

What about your brake light lens? The clear part is to shine on your tag. Now is is pointing up and your tag is under the light? Cops will stop you for not having a tag light.

Things might have changed recently because the Ultra is now 6K MORE than the street glide. ( trying now to decide what I want to invest)

Personally I would definitely get the street glide. If it’s thousands more for an ultra then it’s not worth it. You can add a tour pack for less than $1000 painted from the aftermarket. Lowers are about 600 painted. Other than that they are the same basic motorcycle
