Note: With the Boss Audio front amp & speakers install you will need to “flash” or “re-program” your Boom!™ Box Infotainment System prior to or after installation. Flashing the Boom Box will allow it to recognize the new amp and speaker setup along with putting out the proper levels.

You can simply tell your Techno Research Dealer which download to use! We also show you how to adjust the amplifier settings for the best quality sound!

In this video, we talk about the compatibility of regular Sena 30K and 50S headsets with the Harley-Davidson Boom Box Infotainment System in comparison to Harley branded Boom Audio Sena 30K & 50S headsets. Does Apple Car Play work with the non-Harley branded Sena headsets? Will they even pair with the Boom Box Infotainment System? Will you get mono or stereo sound?

A Sport Touring Dream? 2022 Harley Davidson Low Rider ST Test Ride & Review

May 2, 2022 By Matt Couchman Leave a Comment

Harley-Davidson recently flew me to Santa Barbara, California to test ride and review the 2022 Low Rider ST. Understand, Harley-Davidson paid for the flights, meals, and lodging. However, no contract was mentioned or signed and I was never told what I could or could not say, so I will give you an unbiased real-world biker review as always. (video at bottom of the article)

I'm going to give you a real-world biker review of the new 2022 Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST. Oh, and in case you're new to Law Abidin Biker, I'm a full-time Police Motorcycle Officer and Instructor. Additionally, I have multiple bikes and put on many miles off duty on both street and off-road adventure rides.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

Now, I actually own a 2016 Dyna Low Rider S and after that year it was moved to the Softail frame. My 2016 has the Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110 ci engine and it is a ripper and so fun to ride. I looked forward to how the new 2022 Low Rider ST would handle and feel like with the Milwaukee-Eight 117 cubic inch engine.

I learned many things about the Low Rider ST from the Harley-Davidson Reps, so I think we should talk about where the Low Rider ST spawned from. You see, in recent years Harley has been paying much attention to the ever-changing demographics of Harley riders. Harley spotted a trend and was seeing riders, especially in Southern California, tweaking the Low Rider S by Increasing engine displacement, changing suspension, adding bags, and even fairings, just to name a few.

Armed with that information Harley-Davidson set out to create a base model bike that was all of the aforementioned things, but yet came that way out of the box so to speak. Thus, the Low Rider ST was born and came into existence with special care taken as to how it looked and rode. The overall design was inspired by the iconic 80's FXRT.

I reviewed the Low Rider ST from the perspective of the average everyday biker out there and I'll tell you what you actually need to know about the bike, which has caused much stir and grabbed a lot of attention within the motorcycle community There are so many pre-orders that so this bike hardly ever makes it to the dealership floors.

The 2022 Low Rider ST is super fast and nimble. I really enjoyed dragging the footpegs through the twisties. I liked the fairing and the vents it had in it. The fairing created a wind tunnel around me and minimized buffeting. The Low Rider ST is capable of touring, but you can easily remove the bags to give it a stripped-down look while riding around town.

LISTEN TO THE LAW ABIDING BIKER PODCAST!

There were a few negatives I found, and admittedly they are a bit nit-picky. First, the right saddlebag is shorter than the left to accommodate the dual exhaust. In my opinion, it aesthetically detracts from the look of the bike from the rear. This issue would not keep me from buying this bike though. Second, as a touring bike, I think the Low Rider ST should come from the factory with some sort of crash bars. There are crash bars available from Harley-Davidson.

Harley-Davidson 2022 Nightster! Is This The Beginning? Test Ride & Review!

May 2, 2022 By Matt Couchman 1 Comment

Harley-Davidson recently flew me to Santa Barbara, California to test ride and review the 2022 Nightster. It was a very quick 4-day trip, 2 of those days being travel days. Understand, Harley-Davidson paid for the flights, meals, and lodging. However, no contract was mentioned or signed and I was never told what I could or could not say, so I will give you an unbiased real-world biker review as always. (video at bottom of article)

Now, I had many questions about this new Nightster and anticipated how it might feel and handle when riding it. There was only one way to find out and it started when I arrived at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort where I'd be staying for the next few days, and I got checked into my room. I quickly made my way to dinner where Harley had set up the “instrument of expression” launch event.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

As I walked around the room this first night I had time to really think about what the new 2022 Nightster means now and to the future of Harley-Davidson as a company. I really had time to reflect on Harley-Davidson's rich history with their bikes of the past, and in many ways, they've carried much of that history over and put it into their present-day motorcycles. As Willie G. Davidson once said, “Everything we do is the notion that form follows function-but both report to emotion” and I wanted to see if that would be the case with the Nightster.

But, what do these new water-cooled Revolutions Max engines in the Pan America, Sporster S, and now the 2022 Nightster with the 975T version really mean? Is Harley fazing out the traditional big V-Twin air-cooled engines? During my time in and around Santa Barbara, I'd get these questions answered and a whole bunch more. Make sure to watch my review video to find out the answers.

I found the 2022 Nightster to be a fast nimble bike that was very capable of carving up twisty canyon roads. The horsepower may be intimidating to new riders, but that can be mitigated by the different ride modes. The bike can be tamed down by using Rain Mode, then a rider could progress to Road Mode, and eventually Sport Mode. The Nightster was designed with customization in mind. I think Harley did a great job designing it.

LISTEN TO THE LAW ABIDING BIKER PODCAST!

There were a few negatives I found, and admittedly they are a bit nit-picky. First, the front-mounted radiator is not visually appealing to me personally. I know it's required to get the performance and horsepower out of the engine. I guess I'm old-school and I'll just have to learn to get used to the radiator. Secondly, the plastic trim on top of the tank (airbox) looks cheap and is a bit flimsy. I would have liked to see something made of metal in its place. And lastly, the control switch housings were also made of plastic. I would prefer metal ones like on my Street Glide Special.

Now here are some of the 2022 Nightster specifications:

DIMENSIONS

Front Wheel – 19 inch
- Width 100
Rear Wheel – 16 inch
- Width 150
Fuel Capacity – 3.1 gal

The New 2022 Harley-Davidson “Nightster” | What You Need To Know

April 12, 2022 By Matt Couchman Leave a Comment

In this video, I discuss the new Sportster model named “Nightster” which was released on April 12, 2022, by Harley-Davidson. This was a virtual event, titled “Instrument of Expression”. The video starts out with a quote from Willie G Davidson and it says, “Everything we do is based on the notion that form follows function, but both report to emotion”. Now, the video was highly produced and in my humble opinion, it lacked actual information about the new 2022 Harley-Davidson Nightster the average everyday rider would want to know. So, in this video, I break it down and tell you what you need to know as a regular everyday biker about the event and about the new Nightster.

The video starts in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin at the Harley-Davidson product development center with Ben McGinley, director of design, Ashley Niemen, Lead styling and design, and Kyle Wick, Chief Engineer, going over the bike. Like the Pan America, Sportster S, the Nightster has the new revolution Max engine, but it's a 975cc version and they're calling it the 975t. The bike is built around the engine, making the engine part of the frame. And like the other Revolution Max engine versions, it has variable valve timing. You can run this engine out to 9,000 RPM.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

The weight of the Nightster is only 485 lbs, which is 80 lighter than other Sportsters of today. So, to cram that engine in a small frame and keep the iconic Sportster look the fuel tank is now the airbox and the fuel tank sits below the seat. A benefit of putting the fuel tank below the seat is that it lowers the center of gravity of the bike making it feel lighter, better balanced, and more maneuverable. Harley-Davidson increased the lean angle of the bike from 3-5 degrees on each side compared to other Sportsters.

The Nightster comes with three ride modes; Rain, Road, and Sport. It comes with ABS and Traction Control that adjusts to each ride mode. It also has drag slip torque control, and I was actually surprised they added all this ride technology to the Nightster, which is a Sportster model.

INSTURMENT OF EXPRESSION:

Harley-Davidson designed the Nightster with customization in mind which will allow builders and riders to make the bike their own. One example is that they are using a separate riser system, allowing custom handlebar installs. Harley-Davidson gave the following custom bike builders a Nightster to customize as examples of creative customizations:

Charley Stockwell – Stockwell Design
- London, United Kingdom
Jody and Dave Perewitz – Perewitz Cycle
- Halifax, Massachusettes
Brandon Holstein – The Speed Merchant
- Long Beach, California
Kim and Andres Bergerforth – Thunderbike
- Hamminkeln, Germany
Hideya Togashi – Hide Motorcycle
- Tokyo, Japan

LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER DETAILS OF THE NIGHTSTER:

The Harley-Davidson Nightster is equipped with a 19″ front wheel and a 16″ rear wheel. The tire dimensions were selected to deliver nimble performance and distinctive style. Both front and rear wheels are aluminum cast, satin black. It's also coming with a small Sons of Anarchy front wind deflector.

The Nightster has exposed rear shocks modeled after previous Sportster chassis that provide an iconic style line to the rear of the motorcycle. It is coming with a 6-speed transmission. The fuel tank under the seat has a 3.1-gallon fuel tank and Harley-Davidson reports the Nightster gets an estimated 52 mpg. The exhaust is 2 into 1 and sits low on the right side of the bike.

The all-new Nightster is coming with an LED headlight, taillights, and turn signals. It's coming with 41mm Showa Front Forks. It has a single brake rotor on the front and rear. The Nightster has a four-inch viewable round-shaped analog speedometer gauge and all the other information is displayed in a digital format with a segmented LCD.

Now, this is a water-cooled engine and there is a large radiator sitting in front. I've personally never been a fan of this look, but with these new high-performance engines, I think it's the future for Harley-Davidson and something that we're all going to have to get used to.

LISTEN TO THE LAW ABIDING BIKER PODCAST!

COLORS & MORE:

The bike comes in three colors:

Vivid Black
Gunship Gray
Redline Red

PRICING:

The Nightster starts at $13,500, which is a very competitive price if you compare it to bikes like the Indian Chief which starts at $15,000, or the Indian Chief Bobber starting at $16,500.

TRIP TO TEST RIDE:

Harley-Davidson is flying me down to southern California near the end of April to test ride and review the Nightster. Get subscribed to our YouTube channel to be notified when I release that video. Also, while down there, I'll be test riding the new Low Rider ST and will release a video on that. Oh, and Harley-Davidson is shipping us a Street Glide ST and letting us keep it for a month, so we'll be reviewing that bike also.

CONCLUSION:

All and all, I'm impressed with the Nightster and I think Harley-Davidson did a great job building and designing this new age Sportster. But as always, the true test will be when I get to see it in person and test ride it.

The TAC-10™ Light Cannons Street Glide/Electra Glide kit includes engineered brackets to allow easy bolt-on installation with adjustability that allows lights to angle up/down and side to side on '14-newer Street Glides and '19-newer Electra Glide Standards. The brackets for the Street Glide/Electra Glide also have a tie town loop!

The TAC-10™ Light Cannons for Road Glide or 1 1/4″ Round Engine Guard kit includes 1 1/4″ bar mounts for easy installation with extended wiring to place the TAC-10 Lights anywhere on your engine guard!

The TAC-10™ Light Cannons with Vision X Lighting technology feature 10-watt high-intensity LEDs that easily connect to your high beam wire (lights are on with high beam) or wire directly to keyed power (lights are on when in the ignition or accessory switch position).

Optional switch – not required

A third power option is to install the available Evil Iron Customs Single Switch which allows you to turn off the TAC-10™ Light Cannons when in the ignition and accessory switch position (keyed power). This would save battery power when in the accessory switch position.
