This video ends with a nice customizing and encouragement to customize your own. Super. 3/4 of Harley owners customize to personalize. Thanks. However, video starts out with so much criticism I thought it was going to be just another Harley-bashing. Then he surprised me by recommending customizing to change/correct styling the factory gave. Hooray. Harleys are easy to customize, there are tons of parts and accessories and the construction of the bike makes it easy to customize.

Hey give em a break man, they got stuff like the Pan America which is awesome, the Custom 1250 which is probably going to dominate its niche of the market and somehow are actually managing to give them a reasonable MSRP (the Custom 1250 can only be guessed at the moment, but it's pretty easy to do after seeing the Pan America's pricing). Most people I find talking smack about modern Harley don't have any intention to ever buy a Harley regardless as to what they do. That said I just bought a softail Low Rider S and let me tell you, I've owned a lot of bikes from a lot of brands (honda shadow, kawi vulcan 900, v-rod, gen 2 yamaha vmax etc) and it's a damn fine machine. I'm not a Harley guy, I'm just a guy who rides a Harley because it's a good ass bike.

It makes sense considering he’s probably ridden since before he could walk, but this is a guy who started all of this by writing copy and articles. It’s fantastic to see the knowledge and passion translated into genuine skill and ability. Plus, I want the Dyna now.

Just want to say, I love this channel, the production quality, the even zen-laden tone of the narration, the enthusiasm for the experience baked into every piece of information. It makes me feel like riding even when I’m watching cruiser mods.

He could always do what I do: I typically use my phone as a speedo... Recently I just decided to buy a phone for my bike.. lol It's cheaper than a GPS unit, has "drive mode" which is a GPS map, with a large speedo on it and music controls as well. It was a 50$ prepaid deal, and in an emergency I can use it to call for help. I just bring it in at night to charge or whatever, it fits in a nice low profile mount and looks like it belongs there... most people assume it's a stock dash like an expensive BMW or KTM or something. There is always a way to make style and function work together, you just gotta get creative. Sometimes when I ride on busy roads or short stretches of the confusing highway, I mount my gopro to my tail and connect to my dash phone. Instant rear view camera, built in wide angle and it was free because I had everything already and I typically have my gopro in my bag anyway. I'd highly advocate for running a cheap or older "drawer phone" as a bike dash. You can do SO MUCH with it. It's 100x better than a com device because you can make standard calls and voice texts, etc. You can have your own music and audio books/podcasts, you have GPS, and emergency apps all available in one device, and you can easily just take it off and use it as a phone or watch videos or google something. You can find 100 different mounting options including super low profile steering stem mounts like mine, millions of cases for the phone to fit your style or make it waterproof, and you can set a cool custom screensaver to add style points to the bike when it's parked. Sorry about the rant, I just think it's an awesome idea more people should use. Not to mention you can use it as a dash cam, rear view, or directly stream your location and use standard free find-my-phone apps for security stuff. It's definitely worth checking out, especially if you want to do what Ryan did and hide your original speedo or remove it altogether.

"How Harley Davidson Killed itself." Did the Harley Mafia threaten you RyanF9? Stare at the camera and blink out yes or no in morse code in the next video.

Did you watch that video? It wasn't about hating their motorcycles.

​@@PMitchell106​Hello there; and thank you for your comment. It would be weird to reference a video (at this time, 11months old) without having watched it. Unfortunately, you are reading something into my comment that does not exist; that is, me, somehow intimating that the channel was about hating Harley Davidson. However, and I hope this isn't too meta for you, many people did equate the "How Harley Davidson Killed itself" video as hate for that manufacturer, those people, to put it simply got butthurt; just reference (google) all the news sites, blogs, and other youtube 'responses.' So when I ask if the Harley Mafia got to him, I'm referencing those 'Butthurt' individuals, and the people who willingly White Knight for Multi-Million dollar corporations, (Failing or Otherwise). I could keep going on, but this comment is starting to turn into an essay. So I must weigh the value of my intellectual capability to elevate you to my viewpoint versus your apparent ability to comprehend. The way the nuances of my original comment flew over your head do not give me much confidence. So I therefore terminate this comment, and wish you a wonderful, and productive day.

Honestly, I love the mods. Other than the fereing. I just like the look of the headlight being open. Other than that, thought it looks amazing.

Looks amazing after the upgrades! I’m planning doing all of these steps to my Dyna that looks just like yours.

6:37 - no bro, you did great, you changed it from boring bike to a simple and beautiful bike. ❤👌

kzread.info/dash/bejne/aIijlNWYZL3ZXco.html That step up seat really shines when you pop the clutch and get up on the back tire.

I have some friends that wear those patches that are priceless. Most of them say "Atta Boy!" to conscientious customization like yours. Beautiful Job (as always)...

Thank you! I'm 20+ years as a street rider and I just got a '98 Dyna Wide Glide JUST like this in black. I wasn't sure what what I wanted to do besides changing the same bars you had. Now I have a better idea where I want to go! I was on the fence because I wasn't sure if I was being disrespectful with my mods 😆😆😆

As someone who really loves riding Harleys. This video hit my heart strings a little extra. Thanks for the awesome content F9 💪🤘🤙

This channel has just got better and better over the years. Well done.

Looks waaaay way better than at the beginning of the video. Keep up the good work !

That bike is awesome! Would love to own one of those and I love the style you gave it! Another great vid!

I'm also not a fan of skulls (unless I'm decorating for Halloween). But the ram horn handlebars are actually quite ergonomic.

One of the few channels where I like the video before it even starts playing 👍🏼

I have a 2005 fxdi Superglide narrow, definitely my favorite bike, I have done almost the same, only a little more dramatic, wish I could add a photo. I have a thunder max tuner, stage one intake, two brothers two into one pipe, saddleman seat, moons integrated rear light and minis in the front with Moons led headlight. Looks and sounds amazing

Always love your videos. They're always fun, informative and your sense of humor cracks me up. But hey, I just happen to own an old Dyna with Buckhorn bars, a black seat and a lumpy sounding motor. Let's show some respect mister... ...of course, I'm also 70. :-)

Would have never expected a club style Harley from Ryan!

I love the part at the end right before the fade where it proves the old adage "Harley Davidson, turning Gasoline into Noise for over 100 years".

It's perfect. Beautiful Dyna. Good job!!!!

the mods look good, especially the new fairing once it was painted to match. i'd've gone with a different shade than that brown, but style-wise it looked fine.

Still the Best Motorcycle Channel on KZread, Thanks Ryan!

Love your channel and also love seeing more Harley content! You definitely proved how large an impact such relatively easy upgrades make. Close to clubstyle, which I absolutely love.

Absolutely love what you did with this!

I had no idea fairings could be painted. What a lovely set of mods! I don't feel complete with out one skull somewhere but that's just me. Great video!

My friend is looking into Saddlemen seats before the video was finished. Keep the video's coming!

That blinker is brighter than my future.

Mine is why people have "Highway pegs" that give you a riding position close to an OBGYN office visit.

HUGE shout out to the editor of these videos. Damn, you good at your job.

At first I was hesitant to watch his mod makeover on a Harley. Considering I've seen a lot of riding gear , dual sport motorcycle reviews. I think you hit this one, again, right on the head. Good job.

Very simple, very effective. I like the new look alot!

Looks brilliant! Patches money can't buy...😉

That grip mod is a for real game changer. Might seem crazy but they change the ride for sure. I had one sat that made the bike go faster i swear. (as long as you do major engine mods at the same time)
