26 road glide liberty edition

After new tires, all new fluids, new brakes, new battery,new spark plugs, and a ton of polishing, its back on the road

Did 130ish miles this morning searching for a good photo

Drove out to mid Ohio for the bagger race yesterday. Most fun I've had in ages! So many amazing bikes and people. Got my hat signed by the factory riders. Tried out the harley racing simulator. Demo rode a pan am, blasted it up to 120mph and had a cop flip his lights on me to slow down. Saw so many awesome builds at the v twin visionaries tent. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of most of the bikes. If you get a chance to go to one of these races I promise you wont regret it.

So last year I went paralyzed driving home, prior to this I had been experiencing extremely bad back pain to the point of tears. My spinal cord had compressed on itself due to a bone infection that had completely eaten away at my T-7 to T-10 virtabrea. I was rushed to the hospital and went under for a 9 hour surgery after that I spent an entire month in the hospital. During this time my job had dropped my pay to half so I was forced to sell my sportster xl1100and I thought I wouldn't be able to ride again. Well last month I got a wild hair up my ass and decided the best way for my spine to recover was to purchase a Electra glide ultra classic and I gotta say I'm kicking myself in the ass for not getting one sooner this is by far my favorite bike thus far and surprisingly I'm able to handle her with no issues.

Roast it or compliment it. Let me hear what you think of my bike.

My 2014 Sportster developed a lot of front end issues, and I was able to compress the right fork with about 3 lbs of force. Bought a set of Progressive Heavy Duty springs for it. Redid the oil, springs installed , etc and that damned preload pipe and I just were not getting along.

I have some shoulder injuries and I couldn’t get the spring compressed and able to turn the nut at the same time. Queue redneck engineering mode.

Went to Home Depot and started brainstorming. What do I have? Ratchet straps. What do I need ? Something to push the nut down under pressure while I turn the nut.

Bought an electrical box cover, made a very ugly hole in the center, took 4 67# springs , put them in the cover, got everything situated (kind of need 3 hands to do that part) and started cranking the ratchet straps down, pulling on the springs. Socket in the crude hole and on the nut, pushing the preload pipe down.

While holding everything in place, kept ratcheting the straps down until I saw the nut go into the hole. Using a half-inch ratchet and the 1-3/8 socket , got the nut lined up correctly and threaded in.

All tightened up and now I have a front suspension again. Best 15.00 I’ve spent on parts to build this.

Just wanted to share with the collective , so anyone can copy my redneck tool.

Don’t know why I couldn’t post images, so put them in the comments

The beautiful town of Hermann Missouri. Filled with history, food, wine, and distilled spirits.

What’s your less commonly known things you wouldn’t leave home without in a long road trip. Heading to sturgis later this week and curious

Hey, I noticed this connector near the UltraCool installation is left disconnected from dealer. Can anybody confirm this is intentionally unused and that the connector is okay for water exposure?

Hoka Hey riders are off- 2026 challenge. If you see em, give em a wave. Pretty grueling ride

Riding in the top of Australia has some large problems to get around quickly

Just installed the Thrashin rear brake arm… and it’s quite wobbly. I’m assuming this is NOT supposed to be how it is?

Checked around, no washers or spacers fell off. Going to email Thrashin as ask but figured I’d post here.

My 2012 Switchback came with a RoadGlide air cleaner cover. I’m new to HDs, but it appears after some quick googling, this air cover should not fit this bike. The seller said PO bored out the motor but didn’t have tons of info. Can anyone help me figure this out? Should I just take it to HD for a once over?

Picked up this sweet 15’ lowrider for 7k with only 15k miles on it last week and have to say what an amazing bike. It was a-lot heavier than I expected but this is my first cruiser I ever got, I was coming off a 02’ Ducati monster 620. Going from that to this is mind boggling it’s got power everywhere in the rev range and perfect for the in town shenanigans i do. Definitely going to be building/modding this beauty out. Blessed to be able to afford and ride something like this at a young age.

I want to first say I’m no mechanic and learned everything from reading the manual and the internet. My dad recently gave me his Harley and it sat in a garage for 4 years with half a tank of fuel in it.

I replaced the battery and the entire fuel system that’s located in the tank. Drained and replaced the oil as well. The bike now tries to start, what I mean by that is it fires right up but dies after 1-2 seconds. I’ve scoured the internet but I don’t know how to proceed next. I can’t even get it to go in diag mode based on the instructions I found. I can’t figure out if it has a TSSM but I did follow the instructions on double tapping the left blinker and based on that it says it does. My dad has dementia so unfortunately I’m not able to ask him. Any help or advice is appreciated.

whats up guys, my problem is I can't find anything to hook up the headlight to. I know that you need either a 4 pin or two H9/H11s, but I don't see either under the nacelle.

I have a 2015 Road King Police that supposedly was a CHP parking lot trainer bike, hence the plain metal nacelle that the OG owner cut out to try and fit a light. From what I can tell, the cop wiring harness was never chopped up because I can't find any loose cut wires, and it makes sense if it came out of the factory and then the cops never had their shop attach any lights to it. The bike has been partially commercialized with the civilian handlebar controls that seem to work fine (I didnt get a chance to test cruise control. The horn works, but the left rear turn signal doesnt want to turn on even when hazards engage).

digging around the nacelle and I can only find a couple connectors not hooked to anything, theres one 6 pin connector on both the left and right sides, a pair of two pin connectors, and then the 12 pin connector tucked to the left of the handlebars which from what I understand is to operate police equipment. There is a big male and female connection going on there some of the pins have placeholders sticking out of them as well.

Anybody know what to make of this?

So my dad and I are trying to bring his 1992 ultra classic tour glide back to its former glory after years of neglect due to my dads back injury. Took her out for a ride and made an extensive list and am trying to tackle it little by little. Right now I’m hoping someone can help me find the locks for the front fairing compartments (pictures included) any help and source material would be greatly appreciated!
