@johnny smit Actually, it's a proven fact without a shadow of a doubt that helmets do provide significant protection compared to not having one. Helmets have saved me and a bunch of my friends lives in crashes/falls and helmets are actually mandatory in most of the world. Yes it's your life, but why be so selfish to think when you come off a bike or get hit you won't survive? Maybe, just maybe if you rode legal speed and got into an accident you'd survive but at normal legal speed if you fall with no helmet you significantly increase the likelihood of getting brain injury or massive road rash that will destroy your face permanently, because you can't control the way you come off a bike and might be unconscious by the time you hit the ground and will be sliding face first with no helmet like a moron. In regards to your friend, was he going legal speeds by any chance? Yes you do get hit by moron drivers, but this is just as bad in driving a car and sometimes it's more beneficial to crash on a bike than a car, as the car crumples and crushes you, where as on a bike you get bumped off away from the car.

@@jbuckley2546 I once witnessed a head on collision between two motorcycles. My friend was right behind me when a Harley crossed the centerline and hit him. He had a helmet on and suffered a broken bone in his hand. The two people on the Harley had no helmets or jackets and the driver broke his collar bone, and ripped most of the skin off the top of his head. The passenger broke her back and her orbital (eye socket). I can't say on the other injuries, but both would have avoided head injuries if they had helmets.

Mini apes, prettier rear fender, spoked black wheels and a HELMET.

the speedometer needs fixing/connecting.

Solid rear rim with 250 at least. Matt black of course with a 5 spoke front also matt black. Air filter I'd use a K&N open pan head on there so it can breath with no worries. And yes a helmet! Maybe a LED Headlight for some serious illumination! My 5c!! I like the bike!

Or even better, a damn MUFFLER ! I can appreciate the torque of the HD engines, but NOT the noise. In my area, there was a huge demand for Harleys a few years ago, mostly boomers living their youth dreams, with straight pipies like yours. In summer, they would get around in 10, 20 packs, invading scenic villages across the province. Cities and villages responded with police interceptions, HUGE tickets $$$ for modified exhausts and inspections $$$. Now, the fad is dying and you can get Harleys for next to nothing, boomers getting too old and fat to ride. Good ridance.

First 30 seconds or so - what a wonderful tickover sound !

@Diesel Creek, I've been watching your videos for a while now, Just want to add to get a Helmet and some gloves as those 2 minimum is needed for even basic crashes/falls. I've seen many times people lose their fingers when falling because that's the first thing that touches the ground out of reaction and immediately get scraped away at even low speeds. Hand injuries will make you disabled and unable to work on future equipment and using machinery(very difficult to press a button with no ligaments on your fingers or nerves to control them as there is no muscle protecting them in your hands). Just get a pair as there is nothing as fragile as your fingers and as easy to damage beyond future recovery.

Beautiful no frills bike, love the Harley sound and those back roads look amazing.

Beautifull, Beautifull, Beautifull and that sound roaring around...

Dude that’s so cool Sounds great

Definitely go spoked rims!

I would define her sound as fun. Sweet sounding note she puts out. Well tuned too

First modification is to the rider, wear a helmet and gloves minimum.

For the air filter, I like the look of the Kuryakyn Hypercharger. Pricey to be sure, but the design is reminiscent of the "bug catcher" scoops that you'd see perched atop a tunnel ram or supercharger on a classic hotrod. Something about that always seemed right on a Harley to me.

Matt, that is a sweet looking and Sounding scooter , own a few HD in my day. love them and miss them , i sure miss the filling of the cool fresh cool air, and a K&N filter would look good on your bike and be good for it. Take care Matt.

There’s a blacked out screaming eagle cone intake would look awesome

Good looking and sounding ride, for sure!

Man that is sweet? Kinda jealous, I'm partial to those old late 90s bikes

Nice bike 👍

That is a real looking bike, no barn sized front window, or container sized saddle bags. Worst thing with it is that its is way to new, and shiny. The noise would drive me crazy also after a while. The back fender is too short, too wide, it should follow the wheel with a tight fit. The saddle also looks like its made for someone with a big ass. :)

I love the way your bike has been modified it's a really nice looking bike

That is a cool bike Matt, like the sound that it makes 👍

I agree I have a dual headlight set up on my 01 Springer and I'm only a daylight rider. A wreck at night 40+ years ago left me with severe PTSD when it comes to even driving a car at night.

I love the sound at idle.

Lovin the sound of it, talks to you. Alot of good tires out there, depends on how much you wanna spend. Just a suggestion, A good helmet goes a long way, I've had my share of road rash, and really appreciated my helmet.

Love the thundering rumble of a Harley riding by.. making all the windows shake.

I like it. Looks good and sounds good!

Hey man, nice ride. I myself have a 90' Heritage Softail I did some motor work to to spice her up so me and my better half could keep up with all the new fancy bagger boys we ride with. Here's what I did: * Heads shaved 0.050, plus a port, polish and valve job. * Andrews EV-27 cam (great for low end torque and two-up riding) * Adjustable push rods * Squak'in Chicken coil and plug wires * Zippers Maxflow air cleaner (plus carb re-jet and tune V&H Big shots Long exhaust * Torrington cam bearing (did this because I had the crank case open and the bearing was a more common failure point of Evo engines. Might as well, it's a $5 part!) After it was all said and done, project was about $2000 in total and she's a real Ripper now! I run Dunlop tires myself, they're a bit stickier. And I've nothing but good things to say about the Zippers air cleaner - my local HD tech who is an Evo engine specialist highly recommended them to me.

Awesome!!!!!!

Love my super glide but hate when my fellow Harley riders don’t use mufflers. Ride on👍

High Matt, great bike, love it. I think it looks good as is. Did I see the speedo is not working?? I love your videos, they are down to earth and very entertaining. Cheers mate from OZ.

Nice bike..Always good to let them warm up for a couple of minutes. Yeah any air filter that has a filter. Black rim's with chrome spokes. And one if those day maker head lights.

Great looking and sounding bike !

I had a '97 Superglide and it was a great bike. On tires I liked Dunlop and Michelin. Dunlop has more sizes but both are good tires. I haven't ridden in about 8 years so there may be better choices now. I will add, tires are not the place to go cheap. I've had flats on both front and rear while riding and either one will make you exercise a sphincter muscle. Road hazards will cut any tire, but cheaper tires won't hold up as well to the heat and stress of long and/or exciting riding, like on a windy road.

Always had a sweet spot for the solid wheels on the Fatboy and the black ones on the 30th anniversary model are just jaw-dropping. However taste comes in many different flavours🙂

Beautiful bike w/ beautiful sound. Love the springers with thin tyre at the front end. I envy you! 😅

I am not a bike guy, but that is the coolest bike I’ve seen in a while I would not change much

Another iconic motor cycle just beautiful

Do a projector retrofit for the headlight. Will get rid of all that foreground light that makes you your eyes focus on the wrong areas of the road and give you literally night and day different in output. Something swapping in LEDs will never do.

I also have a springer. I like the vintage look about them. I’m not sure how a springer will look with forward controls on it. The springer front end pairs up with the runningboards better. My opinion only.

NOTHING beats the beautiful music of a Harley's idle 😎👍😍

Man that sounds so good.

Matt, +1 on the LED headlight. You’ll be amazed at how much better you can see.

That looks so darn good!!!!

I wouldn't change much. That bike looks good to me. I would go with chromed rims. It will break up all the black and really stand out.

This bike looks really nice. I agree on the wheel change. Those look a bit out of place. Nothing more needs changing, looks tight :)

Sounds and looks really good i wouldn't change a thing but the tires

Love the bike and yes would love to see you do upgrades or whatever you have in mind. Your friend from Larned kansas Eric Houser.

This is awesome, I had no idea you had a bike. I was just scrolling through your videos and seen this! Awesome bike! I have a 07 Fatboy. I do go to like Daytona bikeweek and have some friends that I ride with bit for the most part it's just he woman and I. I know a lot my friends are involved with clubs but it isn't my thing either!

I live in Cali i would ride it, but yeah i'm with you on the spokes and tail light. Most definitely need a air cleaner, it is really a nice cruiser my style.

Nice!

Beautiful bike!

Great to see something different in your life something that you enjoy to do or things you like I enjoy all your videos and for tires I would go with a Bridgestone or Michelin good traction and life in them

Beautiful bike!!

Nice ride! Spoked rims look great...spoked rims are also a pain to deal with. I’d personally go with taller bars-I’m 5’7, and like tall bars- easier on the back. BUT it’s all about what feels best for you. As for air cleaner, get your forward controls first- some of the front facing cones put the intake right in the way of your knees when using forward controls or highway pegs. Also if you have the time stop by Steel City or any of the other shops in the area and throw your leg over one of the many used bikes to get a better idea of some ideas of how the customizations feel. That said, we live in a great area to ride- if you can find roads that haven’t been “tarred and feathered”, falling away on the edges, or have those “half paved” strips up the one half Of the lane.

Nothing like a Hog, man. I really like the rims that you have. It suits the bike. Spokes are fine, I've got them on mine, but they can be a pain to clean. ( Folks who ride clean their bikes, brother.) That intake has to go, I agree. Try an S&S intake for that Evo. Better filtration, keeps the crap out of the motor, but you still get a good flow. I'd keep that bike if I were you!

I know this video has been out for awhile but as far as tires I run the Metzler marathon 888 tires they ride good and seemed to wear good. I have a softail fatboy and took the running boards off of mine as well and put softail custom foot pegs on mine with heel stirrups. Everything bolts right up but you will have to switch the back brake master cylinder but easy to do. I wish I had a way to send you a pic. I hope you do more videos on your up grade to this bike!

That is badass!
