In this episode, I have “Cowboy” on a mic along with Popeye. In a past episode we really got to know Cowboy. Now I get to dive in deeper.

Cowboy talks about why he chose to originally prospect for the Sworn Few Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club over all the other clubs out there. Now a full-patch member of the SFMC, he talks about the process and what he really likes about this motorcycle club.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

The Sworn Few LEMC is about riding cross country for thousands of miles and not just standing around at events.  Cowboy knew this but had never actually ridden a motorcycle this far before. He chose to give it a shot on a Harley without a fairing and he paid the price in many ways. But, that didn't stop him from completing the entire trip and he got to see the Grand Canyon with us among so many other awesome things.

Cowboy shares his experience of his first very long-distance motorcycle trip and there are some funny stories baked in, so take a listen.

Ciro 3D Passenger Drink Holder Install & Review on a Harley + Rider Drink Holder Options!

By 5 Comments

Ciro 3D Drink Holders

Are you looking for a well made and good looking drink holder for your Harley-Davidson or Goldwing motorcycle? Then Ciro 3D Drink Holders may be what you're looking for.

I've used many cheap drink holders on my Harley-Davidson motorcycles over the years. Many of them are flimsy and lack a solid mounting system.

When I discovered the Ciro 3D Drink Holders for Harley-Davidson and Honda Goldwings, I was instantly impressed with the quality and look. I've traveled thousands of miles cross-country on my motorcycle while using and testing Ciro 3D Drink Holders. They definitely pass the test in every way, so we put them in the Law Abiding Biker™ Store.

You can bring virtually any can, bottle, or cup with you securely on your Ciro 3D Drink Holdersmotorcycle and in style with Ciro 3D Drink Holders. You can get them in chrome or black and it's made from tough neoprene rubber. These drink holders really stand up to the elements. 

Ciro 3D Drink Holders also come with rider and passenger mounting options for Harley models with trunks. The rider mount options include a perch mount system that mounts near your left or right control clusters or there is a universal round bar option. These Ciro 3D Drink Holders are very easy to install.

Ciro 3D Drink HoldersAdditionally, Ciro 3D Drink Holders come in two sizes; standard size and a larger size called the “Big Ass” Drink Holder that will allow you to bring that 30 oz. tumbler on the road with you.

Grand Canyon & Zion National Park Motorcycle Documentary

By 10 Comments

motorcycle documentaryI am an independent filmmaker along with many other hats I wear. I want to help, connect, and entertain as many bikers as I can worldwide. A ton of personal man-hours and expenses go into creating large motorcycle documentary films like this. I appreciate your show of support by purchasing my films. By supporting my efforts, it assures that I can continue to create films for the biker community & to help cover the associated costs. Many of my documentary films are currently free on my YouTube Channel. 

My real mission, purpose, and hope is that my motorcycle documentary films move, touch, entertain and inspire bikers around the world. I truly love the sport of motorcycling and the community that surrounds it. 

My Free Documentary Films to Watch:

About this Documentary Film:

This documentary film is about a group of brothers that rode motorcycles cross country for 8 days and covered 7 states, and I share our many experiences and the places we visited. Experience the good times, the bad times, the humorous times, and the many debacles. Ride along with us as we truly experience the law abiding biker lifestyle & meet bikers & great people from abroad. There are so many roads and places to experience when riding your motorcycle cross-country and that is the reason we live to ride. Riding motorcycles truly frees our souls. 

There were multiple purposes for this motorcycle trip. First, our mission was to visit the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and also ride through Zion National Park on the way there. I had never been to these places and it was on my life list of places to ride and visit. We visited many other interesting places along the way. Additionally, this was a trip about spending time and bonding with my brothers as we are part of a law abiding biker club. Last, we met our beloved Patron Members of Law Abiding Biker™ Media in Salt Lake City, Utah. They took us on a great day ride and we had an awesome dinner event at a local venue. The hospitality we were shown was like none other & showcases what the law-abiding motorcycle community is truly about.

That is just a very broad overview and you’ll have to watch the film for the rest! Enjoy!

Thanks for your support!

RickRak Universal GoPro Bar Mount Clamp For Harley Davidson, Indian, & More!

By 2 Comments

Rickrak Harley GoPro Mount

RickRak Universal Bar Clamp for GoPro

This is the RickRak Universal Bar Mount Clamp for GoPro. The RickRak Harley GoPro mount is easily placed on any round bar with the exclusive Rickrak clamp. It can also be used for Sony action cameras or any standard tripod-mounted device. The clamp has a protective rubber material to assure no scratches are left behind. The RickRak Harley GoPro mount comes on and off very quickly and can easily be moved around for different camera angles. 

This RickRak Harley GoPro mount is one of my favorites. Time is important when I'm shooting videos for our YouTube Channel. This mount makes it super quick for me to take it on and off and move it around my bike to get the critical shots I need. When not using it, I can take it off in seconds and toss it into my saddlebag.

Understand, there are a ton of variables when using GoPro mounts and how well the footage comes out is dependent on many things. Different motorcycle models, years, motors, mount location, vibration, camera models, camera settings, and angles are just a few of the variables to consider. Testing ahead of time is what you should do if you if the footage you are planning on getting is important. 

I will say that whether you're producing professional videos like me or you're just a hobbyist capturing motorcycle trip footage to later share with family and friends, I guarantee there is a GoPro action camera mount for you and your Harley. Check our online store to find what you need! 

Note: I will strongly suggest that you don't get the cheaply made GoPro brand tube/bar mounts. They are cheaply built, break often, and are severely overpriced. Trust me, I tried to use them many years ago and ended up throwing away a large box or cheap GoPro parts. They are frustrating and vibrate badly when mounted to a motorcycle. GoPro makes okay cameras, but many of their mounts are lacking. 

I strongly suggest you check out Law Abiding Biker Podcast Episode #177 where we discuss in detail each of the mounts I am discussing in this article.

Retrofit and Convert a Pre-2019 Harley-Davidson to the New Boom Box GTS Kit

By 33 Comments

Boom Box GTSWhen Harley announced it's new updated Boom Box GTS Infotainment System it was equipping the 2019 & newer models with, they originally failed to make a kit so that owners of 2014 to 2018 Harley's could upgrade from the older version of the Boom Box system if they chose.  This infuriated many Harley owners. 

In my opinion, the new Harley Boom Box GTS unit is not that much better than the older 6.5 GT version. Yes, it's an improvement over the original 6.5 GT unit but is it worth that much money! You are basically paying to fix Harley's mistake with the first iteration of the Boom Box Infotainment System. And it's still not fixed as the new GTS also has issues that they're trying to fix. 

As of November 2019, Harley-Davidson made it possible to upgrade your older system to the new 2019 Boom Box GTS on those 2014-2018 touring models. Visiting Harley's website, it seems they are marketing and describing this conversion kit more towards upgrading from the smaller 4.3 non-touchscreen unit to the new GTS unit, but you can upgrade from either the smaller 4.3 unit or the larger 6.5 GT unit. 

For 14-18 Harley models, they state that an additional USB connector needs to be purchased for around $35-$50 but you can't even find the part on their own website at the time of this article.  Further, we found during our install that it's not even required.  This USB connector is the one that plugs into the rear of the Boom Box unit and it is already inside your jukebox compartment where you can plug in your smartphone or USB drive. We just used the USB connector that's already there instead of installing a new one and all works perfectly.  

Note: After upgrading to the new Boom Box GTS unit, you'll need to visit a dealership so they can flash the unit with their Digital Technician II software. Until then the unit will beep at you every 15 seconds or so, regardless if it's on or off. 

Here is the information and part numbers you'll want to be aware of:

Harley Street Glide and Ultra Models 2014 to present:

Taken from Harley's website:

Fits '19-later FLHTCU, FLHTCUTG, FLHTK, and FLHX models with a 4.3 Boom!™ Box Radio. Also fits '14-'18 FLHTCU, FLHTCUL, FLHTK, FLHTKL, FLHTKSE, FLHX, FLHXS, FLHXSE and FLHTCUTG, models with separate purchase of USB Connector P/N 69200031A. Also fits '19-later Electra Glide® Standard models with separate purchase of appropriate Hand Controls, Wiring, and Antenna.

Harley Road Glide Models 2014 to present:

Fits '19-later Road Glide® models with a 4.3 Boom!™ Box Radio. Also fits '15-'18 Road Glide® models with separate purchase of USB Connector P/N 76000374A.

We here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media actually did a retrofit to the new Boom Box GTS unit and filmed the process. That video will release on our YouTube channel, so make sure you're subscribed.
