Best Two Saddlebag Safety Bolts for Harley-Davidson Baggers

March 28, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 4 Comments

Many have tried to make aftermarket Harley saddlebag safety bolts over the years. I wanted to share with you what I believe are the best two options, each varying in price. Harley-Davidson has had issues over the years with saddlebags actually coming off while riding down the road. Forget the damage to the saddlebag it causes, but that could be very serious if you're riding in a group or for any other motorists following you. Forget those flimsy stock quarter turn pins that we have all dealt with for years and never really trusted. Harley-Davidson even had several recalls on those 1/4 turn pins and my 2014 Harley Street Glide Special had a recall on them. They just replaced the pins with different pins and a spring nut and they are still junk. (see video below for further info)

In more recent years, starting on 2017 Harley models, Harley replaced the failing 1/4 turn pin system with a clunky ratchet type handle. It's a better system, but still very clunky to use and not completely trusted. Plus, every time you try to get gear out of your saddlebag you get hung up on that lever. We wanted to combat these problems with an affordable, yet high-quality Harley saddlebag safety bolt kit, and we brought it right to the Law Abiding Biker™ Store. We have received a ton of positive feedback on this kit.

Both of the options we provide make taking your Harley saddlebags off and on a breeze. And you can assure when fastened, your saddlebags will be very secure and not come off going down the road. Both saddlebag safety bolt versions can be taken on or off with thumb dials and NO TOOLS ARE NEEDED! Many other saddlebag bolts out there require wrenches and that's just a hassle.

1st Option: Rickrak Stainless Steel Saddlebag Safety Bolts for Harley-Davidson

This is our higher end saddlebag safety bolt kit option. The kit includes everything you need to install the Rickrak Saddlebag Safety Bolts. You get the spring nuts to be placed on your bike, the stainless steel machined knobs with bolts, stainless Steel washers, and retaining washers. This Rickrak solution for Harley saddlebag safety looks great on your bike and offers superior heavy duty stainless steel safety. Set of 4 included in the kit.

2nd Option: Law Abiding Biker Branded Polymer Saddlebag Safety Bolts for Harley-Davidson by Rickrak

These are a less expensive version of Harley saddlebag safety bolts. They are still high-quality and a great option. Instead of having a stainless steel knob, these have a black polymer knob, which brings the costs down. The knob is dimpled, making it easy to grip and turn. These are our exclusive Law Abiding Biker Branded Saddlebag Safety Bolts for Harley-Davidson, made by Rickrak. Set of 4 included in the kit.

Video-How to Install Ciro 3D Shock & Awe 2.0 on Your Harley-Davidson & How to use the Smartphone App

March 14, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

In this completely free tutorial video, we show you how to install a quality Ciro 3D Shock & Awe 2.0 LED Engine Kit on your Harley-Davidson motorcycle. I strongly suggest you add Ciro 3D Front Mounted Illuminators and Saddlebag Extension LED's to complete the look. You can add these additional items at the time of your purchase in the Law Abiding Biker™ Store if you choose. The basic Engine Kit LED's light your V-Twin motor. The Fork Mounted Illuminators light your front wheel and the Saddlebag Extension Kit LED's light the underside of your saddlebags and mufflers. It is a great overall look! This LED kit will fit any motorcycle with a 12-volt system. The kits are universal but in this video, we show you how to install it on a Harley touring model.

Beware: The market is saturated with cheap LED lights for motorcycles. I can tell you from experience that there is a great degree of variance in the quality of motorcycle LED lights. If you buy some cheap unknown brand LED lights from Amazon or eBay then you'll get what you pay for. No, they won't last and y0u'll be throwing your money away. Good luck getting one of those unknown sellers to refund you. On the other hand, Ciro 3D backs their products and offers support. They are actual bikers like us here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media.

GET THE CIRO 3D SHOCK & AWE 2.0 LED KIT IN OUR STORE HERE!

The new Ciro 3D Shock & Awe 2.0 LED Engine Kit comes with a controller (brain) box and it has three separate channels. You can hook up your Engine Kit LED's to one channel, your Front Fork Illuminators to another, and your Saddlebag Extension Kit LED's to the last channel. Within the free Ciro 3D smartphone app (IOS or Android) you can then individually control each zone/channel to make it a different color and/or perform different functions such as breath or flash! See our complete Ciro 3D smartphone app tutorial video below.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

There are a ton of functions available when using the Ciro 3D smartphone app such as race mode, music mode, picture color mode, low voltage mode, and microphone mode. And it features 21 different functions such as colors, flash, breathe/fade, paint mode and more! The Engine LED Kit also comes with a control dial that you can mount in a convenient location. The control dial allows you to turn the LED lights on and off quickly and make minor adjustments on the fly if not using the smartphone app.

Go Strapless! Best Harley & Indian Luggage System by Rickrak

March 5, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 4 Comments

I've been utilizing the Rickrack strapless motorcycle luggage system on my Harley-Davidson for a few years now and love it! I'll never go back to the days of securing straps and using bungee cords. With the Rickrak system, I can have my motorcycle luggage bag attached or detached to my Harley in less than 10 seconds without any straps! That is super important to me when on cross-country motorcycle trips when the time is very limited. Plus, I have no worries of straps, ropes, or bungee cords coming loose and damaging my paint. Or worse yet, my bag falling off on the roadway. (see my Rickrak overview video below)

The Rickrak strapless luggage system is lightweight, durable, the design is well thought out, and it's made by actual bikers. That's why we ch0ose to carry the Rickrack strapless motorcycle luggage system in the Official Law Abiding Biker Store years ago.

The Rickrack strapless motorcycle luggage system is a lightweight metal rack that can be attached to almost any larger sized touring bag. Once the rack is permanently mounted to your touring bag, the entire setup clamps down to stock round bar touring racks such as on a Harley Street Glide, Road Glide, Ultra, and other touring models. The details for exact fitment are listed in our store and in the video below.

At the time of purchase, you can choose to purchase a complete Rickrak kit, which includes the Rickrak system and a high quality touring luggage bag called the Top Dek II. When you order this complete rack and bag kit, it will come pre-assembled for you and ready to go! If you just purchase the Rickrak itself and have your own touring bag, you'll have to mount the bag to the Rickrak with the included hardware. It comes with everything you need for mounting.

Rickrack strapless motorcycle luggage system options: (Harley & Indian)

First, there is a Rickrak designed for the stock luggage rack on top of your Harley touring model trunk. This means you basically have another trunk on top of your existing trunk! And, in less than 10 seconds you can have the Rickrack off, so you don't have all that additional weight when opening your trunk lid. You can have it back on just as quick.

Second, there is the same Harley touring trunk top Rickrack for those that have switched from the stock Harley luggage rack to the sleeker Harley Airwing Rack.

Third, there is the Rickrak system for other Harley touring models without a trunk, such as a Street Glide, Road Glide, or Road King. You will need to have the flat King H-D Detachable Two-Up Luggage Rack for proper fitment.

Last, is the Rickrack strapless motorcycle luggage system for Indian touring models with a trunk and it works exactly the same.

Check out my Rickrak overview video below and if you have any further questions, contact us in the Law Abiding Biker Store!

Trust me when I say, “once you've used Rickrak you'll never go back”.

In this completely free tutorial video, we show you how to install aftermarket exhaust headers/pipes & slip-on shark tail mufflers on an Indian Chieftain, Chief, Springfield, and Roadmaster model 2014 to present. You'll need to re-map your electronic fuel injection after the install. We used a Dynojet Power Commander V to tune the EFI. We used Freedom Performance exhaust headers and mufflers for this video, but the install is very similar for any Indian aftermarket exhaust system. At the end of the video, I give you a sound comparison between the Indian stage one exhaust and the Freedom Performance exhaust system we installed.

This is a thorough tutorial video on how to install a DynoJet Power Commander V EFI tuner on Indian touring models such as the Chief, Chieftain, Springfield, and Roadmaster. In this video, we use a 2018 Indian Chieftain Limited. We show you in detail how to access all the areas you'll need for the install, to include removing the fuel tank, side panels, dash panel etc. We then show you how to route and connect all the plugs and wiring, hook the PCV to a laptop, operate the software, create an auto tune map, and upload it into the Power Commander V. We show you useful tips and tricks along the way to make the install a breeze. You'll be up and running and your bike will be properly tuned in no time!

Save your money and don't rely on a dealership or technician to do this for you. After watching this tutorial video you will definitely be able to install the Dynojet Power Commander V yourself right on the kickstand in your own garage! No specialty tools are needed and you can do the install right on the kickstand.

Why the Power Commander V EFI Tuner?

If you get new header pipes, mufflers, or air intake on your Indian motorcycle then you need to re-map the electronic fuel injection (EFI) so your bike will run optimally and you'll gain added performance.

That is where the Power Commander V comes into play. We show you how to locate and download a canned EFI map from Dynojet based on your particular pipes and intake setup. We make this process super easy for you to understand. You can really increase the performance and efficiency of your Indian with the Power Power Commander V, so let us show you how & take the stress out of it.

The great thing about the Power Commander V versus the Indian dealer basic EFI download is that with the PCV you can re-map your EFI at any time in the event you change pipes or air intake down the road. With the Indian dealership basic download, you have to return and pay for a new download every time you need to re-map your EFI.

You will need a PC for the Power Commander V, so you can download and upload the proper EFI maps.

If you later want to become a tuning expert you can really mess around with maps on your PCV using the software. You can adjust individual cells, and make your own custom maps based on a ton of readings. That process is for tuning experts only and not realistic for the everyday biker, so that level of tuning is not shown in this video. You can damage your bike if you start doing that kind of advanced tuning unless you really spend a lot of time doing it and understanding it.

This is a simple yet comprehensive tutorial video made by bikers for bikers, so you know you will understand it. Don't get stressed and spend hours upon hours scouring the internet for bits and pieces of info from less than credible persons. Get this video and get out riding already!

Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up!
