Harley-Davidson LiveWire™ Electric Motorcycle-The Real Truth! Beats Zero Motorcycles?

January 16, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

In this video, I explain everything you need to know about the first-ever electric motorcycle from Harley-Davidson called the LiveWire. The new motorcycle comes with a hefty price tag, starting at $30,000. However, the build quality is above competitors such as Zero Electric Motorcycles. They say the Harley LiveWire will do 0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 110 mph. The Harley-Davidson Revelation™ Permanent Magnet Electric Motor can produce 100% of its torque instantly! (see video below)

The LiveWire comes with Brembo Monoblock 4 piston brake calipers and has dual front disc brakes up front. Additionally, the LiveWire is equipped with a SHOWA mono-shock on the rear and SHOWA inverted front forks and both are adjustable for rider comfort and performance. The lightweight cast aluminum frame on the Harley LiveWire is extremely rigid and contributes to its precise responsive handling. The LiveWire also comes stock with ABS brakes and traction control. We haven't seen traction control on any other Harley models, so that's exciting.

The onboard battery pack will give you a range of 110 miles when tested in mixed city use. Using a Level 3 DC charger, the battery will charge to 80% capacity in 40 minutes. There are several options for charging the LiveWire. Aside from a fast Level 3 DC charger, you can also just plug it into your standard electric plug-ins in your garage and charge it overnight.

The Harley Livewire comes with Harley-Davidson Michelin Scorcher Sports Tires, which were designed exclusively for the Livewire to enhance the ride and handling. It has a 180mm rear and 120mm front tire.

The Harley LiveWire comes with an infotainment system mounted up on the handlebars and it seems it's made by Panasonic. We hope this system actually works well, unlike the infamous Boom Box Infotainment System, which has had major problems since it was first introduced on 2014 touring models. Check out my complete Harley Boom Box Video Tutorial Series.

The LiveWire infotainment system is a 4.3 touchscreen full-color LCD. It has integrated GPS, speed, range, battery status, turn-by-turn navigation, music, alert information, and more.

If you want to pay a monthly subscription for the cellular telematics connectivity powered by Panasonic®, you'll be able to connect to your LiveWire through the Harley-Davidson app using your smartphone. You'll be able to remotely see your battery status, the location of the LiveWire, and if it's being tampered with. You'll also be able to find charging stations nearby. Harley says the service will be free for the first year and paid after that but they have not announced an official price yet.

The Harley LiveWire comes in three colors. You can choose from orange fuse, yellow fuse, and vivid black. It is available for pre-order and will release in August 2019. Not all dealerships are opting in to carry the LiveWire as it's expensive to do so. Dealerships who opt in will have to support the LiveWire and have a Level 3 DC charging station installed.

Best Harley GoPro and Action Camera Mount? Rickrak 360 Deluxe

November 23, 2018 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

RickRak 360 Deluxe GoPro Mount

This may be the best Harley GoPro and action camera fairing mount that I've used. It's called the RickRak Deluxe 360 GoPro Action Camera Fairing Mount for Harley-Davidson Street Glides, Ultras, Road Glides & More.

There are two separate models to choose from for this mount. One model is for Harley's with the shark nose fairing such as the Road Glide. The other model is for Harley's with the batwing fairing such as the Street Glide and Ultras. This RickRak GoPro mount simply replaces one of your windshield bolts and is easy and fast to install.

When not using your GoPro or other action camera, you can simply remove the bottom arm thumb screw and you'll just be left the base plate. Simply screw the arm system back on with your camera attached and you're ready to start riding and shooting video in seconds.

If you want lots of adjustment for your GoPro or other action cameras mounted to the fairing, then this may be the best Harley GoPro & actions camera mount out there. With the RickRak Deluxe 360 ball head system you'll get all the adjustment you need for your GoPro or other actions cameras.

Testing:

RickRak Universal GoPro Mount

I've tested and used a ton of Harley GoPro & action camera mounts when filming routine videos for your YouTube Channel and when shooting my larger motorcycle documentary films. I use a ton of different camera gear of course, but the RickRak 360 Deluxe GoPro and action camera mount is certainly in my arsenal. It is very sleek, strong, durable, and best of all, functional. It also comes with a wrench for really tightening down the thumb screws, so your action camera stays in place.

Another Favorite:

I also use the very versatile RickRak Universal bar clamp GoPro and action camera mount. Within seconds I can clamp this mount to my handlebars, engine guard bars, saddle bag bars, or luggage rack bars. When done, I can unclamp it and throw it in a saddlebag. This is also a must-have Harley GoPro & action camera mount for your kit.

Understand, that with any Harley GoPro & action camera mount, your video results may vary dependant on your motorcycle year, make, model, roadway and environmental conditions, camera model, and internal camera settings & capabilities just to name a few. The key is to get out there and start riding and shooting video and see what works for you!

We were sent a Custom Dynamics ProBEAM® LED Tail Light for Harley & had some time to install, use, and review it. We here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media truly believe in lighting the rear of your motorcycle with new modern LED technology. Anything you can do to grab those following motorist's attention just makes good sense. You may not get a second chance if you get rear-ended on your motorcycle.

The stock dim halogen bulb on your Harley taillight is just not safe. It simply can't compare to the brightness of a Custom Dynamics ProBEAM® LED Tail Light for Harley. We were very impressed with the overall quality and brightness of the LED taillight. The plug and play installation is a breeze and the kit comes with everything you need. I definitely recommend this LED taillight as a good option to consider for your Harley.

The Custom Dynamics ProBEAM® LED Tail Light for Harley is available in red or smoke. 5 light pipes illuminate across the tail light while 25 separate LED's provide a full contrast brake light. This is a modern and stylish look to the rear of your Harley.

The classic Squareback design mimics the look of the stock tail light and mounts to the stock tail light baseplate. There is also a low profile version available for most models. You can get either model with or without the top license plate illumination window.

The Custom Dynamics ProBEAM® LED Tail Light for Harley fits all 1999-2019 Harley-Davidson models (including TriGlide and Freewheeler) equipped with an OEM Squareback Taillight (68245-03). The ProBEAM® tail light is backed by a lifetime warranty against LED failure.

Great LED Headlights for Harley, Indian, & Metric Motorcycles-Install & Review

October 13, 2018 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

VISION X LED HEADLIGHT

In this video, I show you two of the best LED headlights for Harley, Indian, & metric motorcycles. I understand that every rider has a budget, so I wanted to show you a lower cost and higher cost option. See video at the bottom of this post!

I share some useful information about LED headlights for Harley, Indian, and metric motorcycles. Having an LED headlight on your motorcycle will make you safer. During the day, motorists will be able to see you better. At night, you’ll be able to see those road hazards sooner. In this video, I explain the Vision X LED headlight and Rivco LED headlights.

A higher-end LED headlight option for your motorcycle is the very bright Vision X LED headlight. Both the 5.75″ & 7″ versions were engineered to deliver optimal road coverage. With additional LEDs that fill in the space between the vehicle and the peak of the beam, the Vision X LED headlight makes riding a safer experience for everyone on the road. Every part of the headlight has been approved and certified by the DOT in all states. There’s also E-MARK and ADR models available, just in case you are from another corner of the globe.

VISION X LED HEADLIGHT

The Vision X LED headlight for Harley, Indian, & metric motorcycles is the perfect accessory for any bike with a 7″ or 5.75″ round headlight housing. With outstanding performance, you’ll turn heads and shine brighter at the same time. Available in Polished Chrome or Black Chrome finishes, these LED Headlights are the perfect touch to personalize your motorcycle.

For the more budget conscious rider, the Rivco LED-100 Replacement LED Light Bulb for H4 Halogen Bulbs might be a great option. If you want the performance of a great LED headlight without the large expense then the Rivco may be for you. Although it's not as bright as a full-on LED headlight replacement, it's way brighter than the stock halogen bulb and it punches through the darkness well.

RIVCO LED REPLACEMENT BULB

The Rivco LED-100 is a LED headlight kit designed to replace your factory H4 Halogen bulbs. Producing a super-bright 3000-lumen output, the LED-100 is much brighter than factory H4 bulbs ranging from only 1000-1650 lumens.

Nighttime visibility is very important for every motorcyclist. The LED-100 headlight kit turns nighttime darkness into day with a 6000-Kelvin, pure white light. In contrast, your factory Halogen bulbs are rated at 3200-Kelvin and produce a more yellow-tinted light.

The Rivco LED-100 will also allow you to see 30% farther and 15% wider than your factory Halogen bulbs. Need a few more reasons to purchase the LED-100? How about the 20,000 hour lifetime, RFI shielding to prevent radio inference, lower power consumption, or that installing them is as easy as changing your factory bulbs.

All of the LED headlights discussed here are available in the Official Law Abiding Biker Store!
