A Video by Bikers for Bikers!

Video-If you own and ride a Honda VTX motorcycle then you have probably wondered what it would take to have a stereo and speakers installed. There is nothing better for long cross-country riding than having a fairing and stereo system. Stereos & fairings are great for daily riding too! Before you install a stereo and speakers you will need to install an aftermarket batwing style fairing first. Of course we have a free video on that.

VIDEO-Harley Davidson Paint Touch Up Kit for Scratches & Chips | DIY Tutorial

July 20, 2015 By Ryan Urlacher 12 Comments

A Video by Bikers for Bikers!

Video-So, if you ride often and ride far in all weather and temperatures like we do here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media then you will eventually get a rock chip or deep scratch in the paint of your Harley Davidson Motorcycle. The first thing you need to do is breath and accept the fact that these things can and will happen.

Of course Harley sells paint touch up kits with your factory matched paint color and a clear coat and I paid around $38. Frustrating is that these Harley paint touch up kits come with absolutely no instructions on application whatsoever!

I have talked to quite a few different friends that work at Harley Davidson Dealerships over the years and they all have their own techniques for using and applying touch up paint. In this video I use the technique that makes the most sense for the average day-to-day biker and that actually works.

Remember, if you are looking for perfection then you are starting out with the wrong mind-set. Nothing is as perfect as the factory Harley paint job. What we are trying to do with touch up paint is make a blemish a little less noticeable. If you go into painting your scratch or rock chip with patience and understanding then you will have a good outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions:

I have a different year Ultra classic FLHTC. Will this video help me? My kit number was HD 53303-07 and wire kit 70113-08.

Answer: Yes, the video will help you, but the kits are different. This video was made installing Harley kit # 53000291, which is an HD Detachable Tour Pak Conversion Kit for '14 and later models. It includes lights and the license plate mount because the '14 and newer Ultra Limited's incorporated those items into the OEM trunk and mount. When you remove your trunk you loose your rear lighting and license plate. So, the '14 and newer kit places the lighting and license plate in an alternate area.

VIDEO-2015 Harley Road Glide Dealership Purchase Process-Lurch gets a new bike!

July 15, 2015 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

VIDEO-In this video Lurch and I ride to the Rattlesnake Mountain Harley-Davidson dealership at 3305 W 19th Ave, Kennewick, WA 99338. Lurch has a plan to trade in his 2008 Harley Street Glide for a 2015 Harley Road Glide Special. Although I have always personally liked the look of the batwing style fairing on the Street Glide models, Harley has re-designed the shark nose fairing on the 2015 Road Glide models and I like the new look much better.

Lurch and his 2015 Road Glide

Lurch is 6 foot 6 inches tall, so because of the fixed fairing (does not turn with the handlebars) we will be able to install 13″ ape handlebars and push them forward farther. This will give Lurch a more stretched out and comfortable riding position. The bars can not be pushed as far forward on the Street Glide, because of the different fairing that turns with the bars.

How to use & operate Schuberth SRC Bluetooth Headset System for C3 Modular Helmet-Complete Guide & Instructions

July 11, 2015 By Ryan Urlacher 3 Comments

Video-In this free video I show you everything you need to know to successfully set up and operate the Schuberth SRC Bluetooth Headset System. The SRC system was designed by Cardo Communications to be specifically used with the Schuberth C3 helmet by replacing the OEM neck roll pad. The Schuberth SRC is a super slick and clean head set and communications system and you don't have to have a bulky box hanging off the side of your motorcycle helmet.

That's right, you can listen to your music inside your helmet via bluetooth from your smart phone or mp3 player. You can pause/play your music list and even skip songs forward and back with the buttons right on the SRC! The SRC has a built-in FM radio with six programmable presets. You can talk to two other riders with specific Cardo headset systems, making it three-way communications within 1000 feet. Once paired via bluetooth with your smart phone you can make and receive phone calls right inside your helmet via voice commands.

Here is link to the original review video and breakdown of the Schuberth C3 Modular Helmet I did

The SRC speakers are plenty loud even while going down the freeway and I never turn the system volume all the way up. I have tested phone calls and the person on the other end can't even tell I am riding my Harley Davidson while talking with them.

Of course I show you how to do all of the above and more with the Schuberth SRC System in this tutorial video, so check it out. You will still want your smartphone attached in front of you on your handlebars with a Biker Gripper Motorcycle Cell Phone Mount to make some things easier and I discuss this in the video.

The only negative with the SRC System is that you can only update the firmware in the unit with a PC and there is no MAC support at this time. That is a failure in my opinion. Only with a PC can you connect your SRC System with the provided USB cable and update the firmware.

Here is a link to the Schuberth Systems Update Page
You can register your Schuberth SRC at the same above link & will need your serial number
