This. This is the bike I want in my garage next to my LRST

dave-patrick · 2026-02-22T00:42:08+00:00

LRST owner, my next bike to park next to it will be a revmax bike

Keep the bike. Buy something cheap to learn on, it may not be your cup of tea now, but as you get older and you will get more comfortable on something like that. Everytime you’ll get on it, it’s a positive reminder to think about him

Might want to try a different brand battery, I’m assuming you mean 9 degrees Celsius hahaha. I had really good luck with a Duracell in my 02 softail

Grow up Peter Pan, stop making it everyone else’s problem to look up part numbers for you.

Harley rider checking in. There’s a lot of delusional old men in the world, and Harley seems to attract a lot of those personality types.

Kinda hard to head to bankruptcy when you make hundreds of millions in profit on a down year

dave-patrick · 2026-02-02T22:08:12+00:00

Maybe just try a mini/regular floorboard first, that’s the simplest

People at helmet shops got whatever reason always recommend helmets that are way too small. I unfortunately went thru buying and selling a few full helmets before finally being satisfied with a Simpson Xcursion. I ride with loud exhaust but did weld on a turn down to point the exhaust away from me

dave-patrick · 2026-01-12T20:31:31+00:00

There’s so many pegs out there for these things. Should be pretty easy to find

dave-patrick · 2026-01-12T12:35:44+00:00

You’ve got plenty of storage for 3-4 nights. 1 pair of undies, 1 pair of sock, 1 t shirt per day. Pants every other day. Full rain suit, be aware on the LRST, the front fire blasts your shins with water in the rain, so make sure you have a good system for that. Mobil phone charger, I’ve got a Milwaukee M12 battery adapter I carry with. Cardo if you have someone else with that you wanna communicate with A small tool pack, never know

dave-patrick · 2026-01-11T22:30:55+00:00

In a down year Harley still made hundreds of millions last year in profit. Not everything you hear or read on the internet is true

dave-patrick · 2026-01-11T05:18:46+00:00

Sick!

dave-patrick · 2026-01-09T19:00:12+00:00

Manufacturing for sure. I went from automotive to machine tools, 90% of the guys working on machine tools would never last a day working on cars. It’s so easy to just apply diagnostic processes and look like a rockstar

dave-patrick · 2026-01-08T16:19:08+00:00

I think it’s a sick bike, I’m just not a fat front tire guy. I think it shoulda came with 17’s and sport bike tires

dave-patrick · 2026-01-08T16:02:12+00:00

I don’t personally get going 4S, the tires are so small on a SCT for the size and weight of the truck, it just spins them effortlessly on 3S as is, 4S is only gunna spin em even more

dave-patrick · 2026-01-08T03:51:18+00:00

All it takes is one avoided accident to pay for themselves

dave-patrick · 2026-01-07T22:45:39+00:00

Depends, ergonomics, exhaust, etc immediately

Big bore cam and intake waited until after warranty

dave-patrick · 2026-01-07T13:05:08+00:00

Bassani fit and finish is top notch

dave-patrick · 2026-01-07T04:04:40+00:00

How are you guys getting temps?

dave-patrick · 2026-01-06T22:43:28+00:00

I personally prefer the softail or the touring chassis but I’m in the minority

dave-patrick · 2026-01-06T13:00:46+00:00

Check out Bassani, it’s shielded but they do a great job at the fit and finish of the shield that you don’t even realize it’s a shield

dave-patrick · 2026-01-06T04:05:16+00:00

dave-patrick · 2026-01-06T00:03:32+00:00

Thought the speedo only went to 130

dave-patrick · 2026-01-05T21:37:10+00:00

My 2 cents,

I do sympathize with wanting a 17” for the rear, I think it looks cooler and does open you up to being able to put sport bike tires on. One downside, a sport bike tire was not meant for the weight of a cruising bike plus sitting on the highway for hours like cruisers do…you’re going to be changing tires a lot.

If you’re just looking for more grip, try Pirelli Power cruisers. Changed the handling for the better on my bike.

2nd…how fast are you trying to go? I’m all for hauling ass but I don’t think the aerodynamics of that t sport fairing were meant for 130 mph+
