Quick and Simple Upgrades for a 2024 Harley Road Glide – Vlog 122

Introduction

Howdy, folks! Today, we’re thrilled to share our latest adventure with you: tinkering with our brand-spanking-new 2024 Harley-Davidson Road Glide. In this Vlog, we’ll walk you through the nitty-gritty details of how we tore down our beast of a bike to test parts compatibility and souped it up with our top-notch components. So, grab a seat, buckle up, and let’s ride into the world of easy upgrades!

Getting Down and Dirty

  • Ever found yourself itching for some garage time with your Harley?
  • Wondered how swapping out a few key components could rev up your ride?

As motorheads and Harley enthusiasts ourselves, we couldn’t resist the temptation to give our Road Glide a makeover. With tools in hand and grease on our sleeves, we set out to transform our two-wheeled companion like never before.

Tear Down and Build Up

  • What does it take to tear down a Harley-Davidson Road Glide?
  • Can we fit new components in just a couple of hours?

You betcha! We dove headfirst into the teardown process, removing the original fittings to make way for our special upgrades. Thanks to the Bagger Mid Bends handlebar and OG Pull Back riser, soon to hit the market, installation was a breeze. Within a mere two hours, our mighty Road Glide boasted a fresh new look and enhanced performance.

The Heart of the Beast

Behold, the key components that fueled our transformation:

  1. Floorboards for maximum comfort
  2. Pegs for added style and functionality
  3. Shift linkage to ensure smooth gear shifts
  4. Inner shift arm and outer shift arm for precision control
  5. Shifter tip for that extra oomph
  6. Brake arm and pedal for enhanced stopping power
  7. Derby cover to add a touch of flair

Optimizing the Ride

  • In what ways can tweaking foot controls and handlebars elevate your riding experience?
  • Why do we prefer hard-mounting these components over the softer alternative?

By focusing on upgrading foot controls and adjusting the handlebar position, we aimed to take our Road Glide to the next level. The chassis of the 2024 model closely mirrors its predecessor, making the installation of these new parts a seamless endeavor. We stand by our belief that hard-mounting foot controls and risers significantly enhances the overall feel and performance of the bike.

Stability Matters

  • Are soft-mounted risers really that big of a deal?
  • How can unstable handlebars impact your maneuverability on the road?

Soft-mounted risers, while widely used, can compromise the stability and handling of your Harley, especially during sharp turns or quick maneuvers. To ensure a steady and secure grip on the road, our team opted for hard-mounted options that guarantee a smoother and more controlled ride.

Conclusion

As we wrap up this journey of upgrades and enhancements, we invite you to think about the possibilities for your own Harley-Davidson Road Glide. With just a few simple tweaks and additions, you can transform your ride into a personalized powerhouse that reflects your unique style and preferences. Stay tuned for more exciting adventures and upgrades in our next Vlog!

Giddy up and ride on, friends!
