Thank you! 10,000 mile update is coming soon

Third video of yours I've watched, very informative, good information and honest opinions. I'll be 70 in a few months, sold my Harley 8 years ago. I really haven't rode for a long time. My longest trip was a 20 day ride, this included saying at some locations a few days, and a little over 9200 miles on the road. I really like the 2023 Anniversary CVO and was considering purchasing one. First let me say I'm only 5'7" tall and all CVO's put me on my toes even with a western style boot on. This is a big worry as not sure about backing the bike up. It's that big comfortable heated seat I'm sure but who in their right mind wants to give that up. I broke my back in three places on a job in 2020 and my bake hurts all the time so I rented a Road Glide Ultra for 2 days to see if I could ride. I loved the experience of getting back on the bike but...I paid dearly for that ride. I pur 100 miles on it 5he second day I had it and my back started hurting at about the first 10 minutes and did nothing but get worse. By the time I got home I was in some serious pain. The next day was really bad. I returned the bike and ate some more muscle relaxers and prescription pain relievers. As much as I want that new Harley I'm going to wait and try again in a couple years and see if my back improves. I miss the rides and all the friendships I've had over the years. Keep giving us these great videos, stay safe and enjoy the freedom of riding a motorcycle, the fresh air and view that you can only see on a bike. I wish I could find that photo of the wild mule I saw in the California desert to share with you.

Sorry to hear about your back injury. I wish you a speedy recovery. Did the RG Ultra have a back rest? I find that they help take pressure off my back. I am hoping to take a west coast ride next summer. I would love to ride PCH from San Diego to SF.

"I don't like to use my butt to break in a seat"...Exactly! I hear this all the time with $700 Plus dollar seats. My Mustang seat was like that, but it's comfortable now after about 2K miles!

Wonderful detail thank you. It seems for those of us who have a sorted staged up RG from the previous generation there is no rush to rush to change.

Try utilizing speed volume. It should allow you to get the radio louder. Worked for me on my street glide standard.

I have the best radio solution on my Road King. It's a $35 XM radio. I plug earbuds into it. Its fidelity is better than any fairing radio traveling at speed. Better yet, it doesn't disturb the peace when riding thru neighborhoods and what not. On the downside, it isn't the purdiest solution, but for those worried about such things, I'm sure more care could be taken to conceal the antenna and wiring than I put into it.

I’ve accidentally turned off my 2018 street glide several times while riding in the highway. That button should be on the switch console. Great video boss.

Now on my 2021 Fat Boy 114, it cannot be filled to the max because of the gas puddles like you explained. For a while there I thought I had sprung a leak. Now I fill up the bike from home via a gas can, and I can get it pretty close to full and no puddles. Cheers

Great job in your show, extremely helpful. I agree 100% about the seat, it is not that great. I am hoping that Saddlemen comes out with one soon. Have you changed the oil yet on your bike? I purchased the same bike but only have 600 miles on it. I was looking at the oil filter and am already stressing about changing it LOL; because of all the components surrounding the filter I believe oil is going to go everywhere. Have you changed your filter yet yourself? I put my radio on HipHop and it makes it much louder, but still am going to buy the 6x9s for the bags. My stereo/media goes in and out due to connection I assume, which irritates me, hopefully I can figure out a system to prevent it. I read the manual and don't like the way we have to update the infotainment system, keep us posted if you do an update to the system. Keep up the great work!!!

It's funny to me that most people who spend the kind of money you did seldom criticize or have a negative thing to say about their purchase. A few years back, I spent a few thousand dollars (and 3 different brands) on my 15 RGS upgrading the stock suspension and it still sucked. I admitted that for the money i spent i expected much better results and had plenty of fan boys defending their "brand." As i said, seldom do people admit their disappointments. Im sure you will get the bike set up to your preference, and enjoy many miles to come. Thanks for your honest opinions. Congrats on your purchase. Great looking bike!

I've ordered a CVO Street Glide in Sydney. The info on the buttons is a bit concerning though.

Thanks for this video. At first, on my 2022 Street Glide ST the seat was very hard too. But it broke in after a 100 km ride, and since it is very comfortable. I am y bit worried with your comment and hope that my butt is harder than yours since I am expecting my CVO next september ;-D I am thinking about a tour pack too, I appreciate to put the helmet inside when I ride my Ultra. Do you have an advice, I will be riding solo ?

Hello CUE, I have a 2022 CVO RG Limited. Same issue with the sound. At 65+ the sound system became just noise. Mine stock has an amp in the left saddlebag, 100W per channel. What I found out was the Rockford speakers provided were 4 ohm. This limited the speakers to 50W per channel. I added the bag speakers and put the Rockford stage 2 speakers in the bags and fairing, which are 2 ohm. This gave me 100W per channel, much louder, but the sound quality was awful. I added a second amp in the right bag to power the tourpak speakers. All HD parts were used. So now I have two front speakers and 4 rear. The talk has been that when the engine is running, Harley clips the bass in the EQ. If you flash the radio for two amps and 6 speakers this will not happen. I had the radio flashed and WOW. The sound is awesome. I can ride at 70-75 mph and with the radio at 50% volume, I can hear my tunes perfectly with plenty of midrange and bass. Of course all of this set me back 2K. This may give the charging system a workout, it sure gave my wallet one. I had a 2020 RG limited that I took to Stage 3, 121c.i.. Still got 43-45 MPG at 70 mph. Increased to 50 mpg at 60 mph. It was better than I expected. Getting a little better mileage on the 117c.i. CVO. The 121 was an awesome experience, glad it is now stock on the CVO. Great review - thanks

@RidingandWrenching

Great feedback! I have had several people tell me that I have a setting wrong. I found that changing the EQ to "Harley Signature" provides more volume. I had initially changed the eq to "Custom" and took away the bass (since you can't hear it at speed anyway). The Harley Signature has lots of bass when the bike is parked. I was concerned that all that bass would damage the speakers at max volume. If you are right, maybe Harley has this programmed to reduce the bass when the bike is moving. I am certain that I can better fuel economy if I slowed down! 😂 even at 80, I am getting better fuel economy than my 18 RG

Another awesome video. I think the fuel drains hoses that created the puddle under your bike is to prevent vapor lock. I heard of that happening once to a buddy who filled his tank to the very top once and it create a kind of vacuum and he couldn't get his bike started. I have never had that happen but that is the only thing I can think of. Also when you accidentally hit the kill switch and shut your engine off, what happened to the bike? When I hear that the engine shut off at highway speed, all I think about is the engine/transmission creating drag on the rear wheel and causing you to crash the bike. Does the bike have some kind of coasting feature to prevent all that drag on the rear wheel if this happens? That sounds scary and I doubt my bike has a feature like that.

Im not suggesting that you try this! But if you accidentally turn the bike off, put the switch back into "on" and the engine will restart (I assume like it would during a push start). I didn't experience any "dragging" or loss of control. The bike was slowing down, but otherwise not a big deal

Good idea!

To me the gas cap opens the wrong direction, I've had a bike that had this and it should open towards the front. Sounds like to me Harley changed a lot of things and not necessarily for the better... Goldwing had the right idea for the cruise control, turning the throttle did not effect the cruise unless you turned towards idle. But even then you were met with some resistance. If you wanted to pass while using cruise just roll the throttle open and the bike would slow back down to the cruise speed that you set once you completed the pass...
