I drilled 6 x 10mm holes behind the end cap after removing the end cap and putting it back on. It gives the stock exhaust a sweet note 😁

Nice video! I just bought a 2016 with only 689 miles. The only issue I’m having is with the shifter; I either can’t fit my foot under the shifter at the standard position or if I reposition the shifter one notch higher on the post, I have to lift my leg to shift. Did have any difficulties setting up the shifter to fit your foot? Thanks!
@scotty_beast_riderАй бұрын
As for the shifter.... I am a size 10 boot and often wear my work boots to ride and don't have a problem but it was in the correct position for me when I got the bike.... Lucky I guess. Great bike choice and thanks for watching 👍🏻

I liked the 48 except for the fact it's a poorly designed Sportster, being short shocked to lower the seat. What a hack job. Then there is the fact that the riding position was all wrong for me. If the riding position is right for you, it's still a hack job of a motorcycle because of the way it was short shocked to lower the seat height. It's a shame too, because the Sportster motor is about the best thing Harley ever came up with in my opinion. Too bad they didn't keep with the evolution design where the transmission had a door instead of it requiring the cases to be split to overhaul the transmission. What a mistake that was. I sat on a Speed Master and that bike fits me. It's a riding position that makes sense. I can see that being comfortable all day. It simply makes sense for my body. It wasn't made to make it look like you are having fun riding a motorcycle. It was made so you could enjoy riding a motorcycle. However I do like the Sportster 1200 motor anyways and I suppose my dream bike would be a Speed Master with a 1200 Sportster motor in it. Call it a Sports Master or something. Then put the Triumph motor in the 48 and call it the Bonneville Edition or something and sell that, and keep the other.

That screen was hopeless for me. Caused massive buffeting. Forunately the blade broke in half when I dropped the bike. So it's not a very flexible or robust material. I've recently fitted a Dart Marlin which, for me, works well and is adjustable on it's mounts for angle. It comes up about 12" from the top of the headlamp shell. I'm 5'10" with average proportions. Another thing to mention is that I saw a video recently where the guy had mounted his GPS on the crossbar of the frame and the frame broke. Unit Garage told him that he shouldn't have mounted the GPS there. So they didn't honour the warranty. Not good.
@rostfomin2 ай бұрын
That situation with the GPS mount is incredible. Unit Garage says it's for mounting a GPS if I want, and then they don't honour the warranty... bad business for them. I want this screen in part due to its bar so I can mount stuff there. Could you link to the video, please?
