Why I Sold My 2016 Harley Davidson Street Glide Special. Let’s Talk About It.

[@gregorymychair9554]

Today I rode the Road King. I was still debating between the Street Glide vs Road King, but your video helped me make up my mind. The flexibility of the fairing setup is really nice, that's what's important to me. Thanks and greetings from Poland.

[@robhart3451]

Just did a similar thing : got rid of my Ultra Classic and replaced it with a Road King Standard. I'm also not a fan of the stock RK seat, it is a teeny bit too low. I will be switching to a H-D Sundowner very soon. Other than that, so far, so good.

I ran a fairing & stereo on my Road King for a while, I took it off & just put a 15" Memphis Shades windshield with color matched fade on it, which I like much better...you can also get a luggage rack for a soft tour pack for added storage for big road trips so you got room for some extra gear...& then it's easily removable when you get home...I got one by T-Bags for mine, love that thing...good looking bike! Excellent color too...very nice! 🖖🏿😎👍🏿

I had a RK, 2 Limiteds I ran as Street Glides (quick disconnect kit tour pak) and I liked the RK better. Of course I sold the big bikes after my wife quit riding and I tour, trip, and love my Sportster 1200 that I will eventually make into a chopper. Big bikes sucked the joy out of riding for me... I started on a Sporty as my first HD. 9 HDs later I'm thrilled to be back on a light, nimble bike.

I always loved the wide glide. I owned 3

[@roadking681]

Thats an awesome looking bike, love the color. Those bars are nice and in my opinion perfect height, I had the same bars on my 05 RK Classic. I now have a 18 RK Special Industrial Grey color with a stock 107 and love it.

[@jeffstonecipher1594]

Not sure if meant floorboard "extensions" or forward "relocation". But I did go with the floorboard "extensions" on my RKC, bringing them out 3/4, putting some comfortable distance from the exhaust and primary. Believe they also sell 1" and 1/2" kits as well. Game changing mod though -believe me, you'll be glad you did. You can do them with the bike on the kick stand too -I highly recommend using a crawler with swivel casters if you don't already have one 🙂

Just found your channel, man the views from your driveway, awesome, ride safe!

[@DieselLegiance]

Thanks brother 👊🏼

[@cavscout62]

RK for me has always been the most comfortable Touring Bike H-D makes. I prefer the Windshield over the fairing myself as it keeps that RK Classic Look and I listen to music in my helmet if I want it. Nice looking Bike Man.

[@gwaddles]

I love this fairing set up

[@KSLAMB-uz4it]

Nice. I got my 2015 103 HO with 9300 miles. I'll stick with the Road King windshield never wanted a fairing.

[@Roadglide117]

I'm with you. I traded my road glide for a Road king a couple weeks ago. I think the RK is the most nimble of the touring model. Really like it👍

[@lifebetweenthelines8576]

be mindful of driving in the wet, the amp inside the faring will go out, that is the only gripe i have with mine. absolutely beautiful bike and seeing this with the Reckless faring is giving me ideas. ride safe.

[@DieselLegiance]

Yeah I always try to avoid riding in the rain.

[@glynhannaford7332]

That's a gorgeous bike bud. 👍 Good video.

[@wingandhog]

Sweet bike! Maybe a luggage rack or removable tour pak would also be nice for the long trips

[@302BAGGER]

Good to hear about another road king convert

[@roadkingrider6532]

Love it! The best touring bike Harley makes in my opinion. I need to look into that fairing. I love my music. When I’m wanting to listen to music I wear my full face helmet with Bluetooth. Sounds great. I definitely need to look into that.

[@DieselLegiance]

Nice 👍🏼

[@CandSMINING]

New bike looks great. Already has some mods. I am a dirt guy so not sure what some of your changes are. Thanks for sharing.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

[@gwaddles]

Beautiful views

[@davidrichards7100]

Great video. Thank you

[@bradlozano2571]

I definitely would choose a RK over a SG or even a RG...I am not a stereo and infortainment guy...But iam a Fairing/Windshield guy though...

[@rolandpotter479]

Good luck to you,but personally I'm strictly a stock guy. All the other stuff means nothing to me.I just wanna ride period. Road King is the way to go

[@hondanut7564]

Nice King !

[@209FixedGearRider]

Great video

[@richardanderson4916]

Road King is my dream bike!

[@DieselLegiance]

I’m selling mine. Come make your dream come true.

[@haphazzard3431]

@@DieselLegiance why are you selling?

[@DieselLegiance]

I buy different vehicles, customize them, make them nicer, enjoy them for a little while, then sell them. It gives me content to post on my channel plus I get to experience different vehicles.

[@haphazzard3431]

@@DieselLegiance do you have it listed anywhere? Would possibly be interested after watching all you have done to it!

[@GabolovesPam]

How do you like the fairing? Can you hear music good at Highway speeds ? And is that fairing have a amp? Or just radio power?

[@DieselLegiance]

They sell fairings with and without the amp. Mine, I believe has an amp. It’s loud and I can hear the music fine even on highway.

[@thecamdenyard]

Like the new bike!!! RK is a sweet do it all bike…. But I gotta ask….Sooo one of the reasons you sold your other Harley is so you and the wife can both drive 3/4 ton diesels as commuter cars?????? Not hauling heavy trailers because you need a diesel but taking kids to soccer practice ?? to only then complain about monthly fuel costs 😢😂

[@DieselLegiance]

No, I buy bikes, customize them, sell them, buy new bikes, and repeat. Yes, my wife does not need a diesel but she wanted one because it makes her feel safe on the road. I like a diesel truck too. I sometimes haul a trailer with ATV,UTV, Motorcycles. I also tow a 24’ pontoon. Do I need diesels, no, but I like them. And yes, when diesel was $3.50 a gallon it was great, when it went to almost $6 a gallon, it sucked and I complain. It’s the American dream.

[@ALEXdaG]

Every run music in helmet?

[@DieselLegiance]

Not yet. Usually I wear half helmets though.

[@carltonbirds]

So sorry you sold your Street Glide, can you buy it back at a later date?

[@DieselLegiance]

No but it’s ok.

[@carltonbirds]

@@DieselLegiancehappy you have seen your old bike and it’s ok.

[@dirttdude]

I dont know what i'm doing and i need a little help. i want a real motorcycle, i want cowhide saddle bags (maybe), no bells, no whistles, no wifi, and all the chrome, what kind of Harley am i looking for?

[@DieselLegiance]

Depends on what style bike you like. You can add leather/cowhide saddlebags to almost any bike. Touring bikes ride nicer and turn easier and allow for a nicer/comfortable ride. For non touring I always like the Dyna line specifically the wide glide. For touring I really like the road king but the street glide and road glide are nice too. For lower cost, you can get a nice used Dyna or Road King and not break the bank too much. Or, if you really like a chopper style, check out the Honda Fury.

[@dirttdude]

@@DieselLegianceThanks, I have been looking at Road King ads, i also like the one that the Terminator stole in T-2 i think its a fat boy, my dad thinks i should look at a V Rod. Which ones have the deadly timing chain tensioner?

[@DieselLegiance]

V Rod’s are hard to come by since they stopped making them. The same thing goes for the wide glide. But you can find a nice used one with low miles for a reasonable price.
