Hey Brandon, thanks again for your videos! I found your channel a year ago researching the Scout, and got hooked. Last week I finally bought my Scout, and your videos really helped me make my decision. Hope you get your new bike soon, and that you enjoy it as much as I am enjoying mine. Keep up the great work.

Nice one. I feel your pain B.B. Learning for the master. We have to keep trying until it till we get it right.

You guys are great, love watching your video's.

That look on your face, when the pipe flew off ….. Priceless :)

Thank you for educating on the potential pitfall

I hope you get the risers to work and get the new cables or extensions to add to it. Safe riding

Dude I had that same problem with my shoulders when I came back from a long ride with my m109.. All I did was buy a windshield and it helped me.

That shit was tight Aluminum strips so easy. I put spacers on my scout 60. One of the 1st and best mods I made.

Good luck and ride safe

Brandon I absolutely loved this video. I laughed so hard that my head hurts. Good Lord, the look on your face when you look in the camera with your beer was priceless. Man I needed this video, this sir was great therapy for me. Ooh and the only person you should listen to on the internet is me. I ain't here to fool ya. I'm just here to school ya.

I feel your pain. Did risers, bags, Ultimate seat, bus a kit, gaffler breaks.....all to see what I really was doing is making a bagger. The risers helped...but in the end everything I needed was in the 116 Chieftain. Since I bought it...less than 250 miles on the 109. So she’s going to new owners soon. Get the backrest for the seat. Once your hands are back, you will want it. Good move on getting longer cables.

Get steel braided cables. Oh...you do need to reroute the clutch cable. It works but is not the best way to get it done. Have to cut the zip ties as well to give the extra space. I rode that way for half a summer then decided to get longer cables.

Blue Smoke!!!!!! Two things; Sometimes you can break the torque by tightening and the other is you have to check out V-Stream, they make a windshield that looks good on the 109

I've had that problem with body bolts before. actually broke one on my current pickup. one day i'll get it replaced.

Massive backyard... time to put a dedicated shop back there.

I know this is from years ago, but I did the same. To make it work for me I took that metal bracket apart where the cables attach to the frame and took a torch and tools to it. Then I moved some cables around and it worked. I was able to add the 2 inch risers without changing my cables. It's been years now since I've done it and it still works as if it was stock. Yes the ride is way better, at least in my opinion. More comfort and less back pain.

Bro, the M109R has obviously served his purpose, I feel you, because I just TRADED mine on a 2019 Roadglide Special 114 and aside from the obvious change from a street cruiser to a bagger the main thing I really noticed was the comfortable riding position, decreased wind resistance, all the creature comforts. I know you're about to jump on that Indian, once you do you will not look back I assure you, and your back, shoulders & spine will fall deeply back in love with you. I'm ready to see your upgrade video so you can share your thoughts, until then, Ride on & be safe!

Eh, i disagree a little bit. I have an '17 M109R and an '18 Road Glide Special. I have driven them both on 600 mile trips and to my surprise i liked the M109R better for that trip. Other than wind the 9 was more comfortable for me being all spread out. The Harley i had to stop every 100 miles to stretch. Though i did have my wife with me on the RGS. We'll see, I'm about to take the RGS on that trip again in a week or 2.

Hello brandon Can you tell me how can I replacement boulevard M109R transfer case oil please??

That wd-40 works wonders, great vid my brother

Two inches risers works but not safe cables to stretch out! One inch risers work for me really well, just had to reroute my throttle cables or break can't remember now its been a few years, but the reason for the aggressive riding position on the M109r is to break the wind, if you are seating straight up you will be in a parachute position taking all the wind un in your chest. Best is to install the SHORT VStream

@BrandonBicasso

5 жыл бұрын

I haven't finished yet. I put it off because I'm due for a clutch soon. Was going to replace the clutches and cable on one swing. I think it would be best to swap all the cables out to not have anything stretching. Some had done it without messing with the brake cables, though.

U can fit 2" risers with stock cables and brake lines but u do have to reroute them to take off the tension !! I've never done it to mine but a few of my friends have it is a lengthy process 😋😎 but goin for extended cable and lines is the easier option my friend 😀😋😎

Жыл бұрын

Hey, it’s as simple as unbolting the handle bars and unbolting the risers. You will need longer brake lines and a clutch cable for taller risers. The control cables have a bit of slack on them.

Well, that's a bummer

How did those risers work out ? I am 5 feet 6 inches. I am wondering if those riser extensions would make my m109 more comfortable to ride long distance ?

Mine does have clutch shudder. My 4th gear is beginning to slip so I'm due for a replacement soon. There is the push pin mod that helps with that. Will be doing that when I crack it open. As for the shifts, I get the same thing. I've learned how to control both issues and just be firm on my shifts. And I think GMAN Industries has the shift star/bushing upgrade that helps with the shifting too.

You beautiful man, don't mess with handlebars. The result is bad unless you change all of the cables, hydraulic lines, and extend the wires causing problems later. Send your seat to Mean City and have it tailored to your butt. Best money you can spend. If a handle bar mod doesn't cost at least $2000 it will have issues. Edit: I don't like the cruiser seating position as a 42 year rider, but your bike is cool just as it is. Suzuki rarely gets that wrong. Ok, they never get that wrong. A new Indian will prove how badass your Suzuki really is.

Cable reroute might work, but that brake line... I don't think so.
