I have owned a 91 FXR and a 05 Road King Classic (both bought new) and I must say my new Sport Glide is my favorite. I just came back from a trip to the Dragon and all the various rides in that neck of the woods Moonshiner etc. The ability to load up the bike for a 2wk trip (note I did add removable sissy bar to secure luggage) then easily strip to bike down to go play in the twisties was super. I was easily able to leave my big touring bike companions in my wake. It really fits that niche (2 in 1 bike) perfectly. All was not perfect though as my voltage regulator crapped out on the way home to Canada. Apparently this is an issue with some early build regulators. Had a new one installed under warranty but will be searching for higher quality aftermarket part in the future. All in all, after a 4000km trip was quite happy with way bike performed.

Best Harley they've ever produced. No stupid handlebars, seats, tire sizes, or peg placement. Needs the longer Fat Bob shock for that plush ride. LED front turn signals would have been nice. Obviously, if anything, the "Sport" should have a 114 and dual discs. I can't wait for this drab color trend to end. Enough with the blacks and greys already. Guess there's always next year... One thing they all seem to need is a front fender extender. Around here, the gravel they throw on the roads would pound that low mounted oil cooler to a pulp in no time. The fender on this one is better than most, but could still use at least a couple inch extension. I kinda like the two tone exhaust. Wish the valve covers had been chrome too though. I think if this keeps up, they make take a few of us "never Harley" folks over to the dark side. Well done HD!

I love my 2020 SG, it's the bike I have been looking for. Tahitian Teal (fancy work for blue..) is the must have color. It's also a popular color on the trikes. First thing was a taller shield, but HD doesn't make one tall enough, so aftermarket is the only way. The mini fairing is not that practical to begin with, but I like it being there. The next upgrade is the handlebars.. Tough to find replacements for this bike since the clamping area is 1 1/4". I found and ordered a set from Revzilla, LA Choppers LA-7362-10. All in all, wonderful machine. And, it FITS ME! Seat height is perfect. As usual, thanks for the video John. keep them coming.

Hi John I first saw it on KZitem yesterday, very reminiscent of the Switchback, especially the horrible pipes, I would have it minus the bags & mini (useless ) fairing, & a single seat like my Fatboy lo Special, . Price wise it's god, all these people are moaning about the new range, but for a small increase you're getting a lot of stuff, bigger engine, led lighting, better suspension etc.. I waited till I was 60 (last Feb ) to own one, & it sure puts a smile on the dial. Keep up the vlogs, you're doing a great job, enjoying them, all the best 👍 😎

They had a little adhesive left in the middle, but it put up minimal resistance. The bag reflectors I just pulled off, but you could do them the same way. I just used a bit of wax and grease remover afterwards to remove any remaining glue off all the parts.

Generally, rolling stock bars forward only works for a slight adjustment. the bends in the bars end up making your wrists angle very awkward. Most bars are designed with a specific angle in mind. It's been a few weeks, but it seems a set of apes would work with no problem on this bike. I don't remember the fairing being in the way of the risers or handlebars.

I've wondered about other countries getting the bikes. it seems it would take a few weeks because HD doesn't want the new model to get "leaked." how long does it usually take for new models to make it to South Africa? any idea?

John Maxwell, it seems to take around 8 weeks for models to reach. My local dealership is saying around January for the Sport Glide. The other softails are coming in steadily. The crap thing is we have the same issue with parts. Anywhere from 2 weeks to 8 weeks in some cases. We get annoyed with the dealers, but they are having the same problem ordering everthing from the US. HD really need to review their value chains a bit more. Other manufacturers ship to SA much faster
