LAB-184-Is Harley-Davidson Failing to Connect to its Core Customers? Marketing Mayhem?
Official website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Over the past several years the Harley Marketing Team seems to have taken the wrong path & made some poor decisions. It's understandable to most riders that Harley-Davidson as a company needs to stay legitimate & boost sales in an ever-changing market. However, many of Harley's most hardcore and brand loyal customers feel the Motor Company is losing touch with them. Based on Harley's cheaper priced, smaller & lighter motorcycle line-up of Street and Sportster series, it's clear they're trying to draw new younger riders. This makes sense as their core customer base is now middle age or older. In their quest for new younger riders, Harley seems to be forgetting who is still feeding them and they're not paying attention to their core customer base. If Harley ignores and loses their core customers they will be in big trouble. Harley has a YouTube channel, but it just doesn't connect with riders. Their videos are overproduced and lack any real useful information. It is typical for large companies like Harley to fail on YouTube. They just haven't learned their way around YouTube yet and what viewers actually want. The Harley Marketing Team needs to take a step back and see the big picture. Last year in some sort of unorganized unveil they gave brand new Harley's to ungrateful Hollywood personalities who clearly did not care at all about the bikes. This sort of marketing is so behind the times and they must realize that core Harley riders don't care at all about Hollywood personalities. It actually upset the majority of Harley riders when they saw the unveil. This sort of outdated marketing doesn't connect with true Harley riders & was a complete waste of time and money for the Harley Marketing Team. Instead of chasing after Hollywood, old outdated print magazines, and dying radio, they need to do what many large companies have figured out years ago & are currently doing. Companies like Apple, DJI, and Samsung, just to name a few, have realized that working with YouTube creators and influencers is way more powerful than the old ways of doing business. This is how you truly connect with your customers these days. Today, customers want a more real world review from a YouTube creator they know, like, and trust, rather than some Hollywood star or personality they could care less about. They want an unbiased review from a creator that actually uses and tests the products they care about. An unbiased review holds way more weight than Harley or any big company trying to tell an audience how great their product is. These progressive companies as mentioned above give select YouTube creators & podcasters early access to information and products as to cause excitement with the audience and their customers. They then make sure these creators have access and are the first to review new products when there is an unveiling. This is nothing new and is very powerful, yet Harley has clearly not figured this out. Open your eyes, Harley. The Harley Marketing Team is failing to see the very large communities of core customers right on YouTube. All they'd have to do is read some of the comments on the videos on the Law Abiding Biker YouTube Channel to get a real feel of what their core customers like and don't like. The Harley Marketing Team should go after independent YouTube and podcast creators rather than persons with a YouTube channel that work for dealerships. Content and reviews just can't be completely unbiased if someone works for a dealership and Harley riders know this. That's just one suggestion of many that the Harley Marketing Team could work on. You'll have to listen in to this podcast episode to hear our passionate opinions into what we believe Harley is currently doing right and what they are doing wrong.

LAB-183-Police Motorcycle Escort School | North American Motor Officer Association | Recent Events
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com We discuss the recent Police Motorcycle Escort School Oscar and I recently attended in Spokane, Wa. We try and go to this school each year to stay up to date with practices and procedures. One of the most dangerous things that Police Motor Officers do are escorts. By training often we can minimize the risks associated. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Many Police Motor Agencies in Washington State train together and use the same specific hand signals, practices, and protocols. This is important as many times local agencies will call outside agencies to help with larger scale escorts, like a dignitary escort as an example. It's very important that agencies follow the same rules and practices or risks go way up. It's a good idea for Police Motor Officers to train in an unfamiliar area because it is likely they will be called to do an escort in a city that is not familiar. Pre-rides and safety briefs are done prior to an escort, but unfamiliar roads make it a bit more dangerous. Oscar attended the North American Motor Officer Association training in and competition recently in Hillsboro, Oregon. This event is awesome and lasts about 3 days. Officers throughout North America get together and train hard together for several days before competing. I went last year and really enjoyed it. I was not able to attend this year as I was recently at Police Motor Instructor School in Spokane, Wa for about 2 1/2 weeks. Then I was off to Police Motor Escort School, so it was too much to pack in. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Oscar, Michael, and I discuss these events and schools and give you an inside look. Oscar discusses his brand new 2018 BMW Police R1200RT and I discuss my brand new 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide with Milwaukee-Eight motor. We'll give you our opinions of course and tell you whether the upgrade to a Harley Milwaukee-Eight motor is worth it or not. Remember that no matter what your current motorcycle riding abilities are, always train and push yourself to the next level. Being a good rider and prepared can save your life.

LAB-181-Harley-Davidson Oil Change/Service at Dealership | What is actually done?
Official website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this episode, we reveal to you exactly what is and is not done during a routine 1K or ongoing 5K oil change/service on your Harley-Davidson motorcycle at a dealership. Many Harley owners out there are misinformed and are led to believe that some 200 "secret" checks are done, but this is not the case and rather ridiculous if you think about it. We encourage you to do your own routine oil changes & services on your Harley in your own shop or garage. It is super easy and in our #1 best selling tutorial videos, we show you everything the dealership does and more for these routine services that they charge upwards of $400 for! Harley Oil Change/Service Videos Available: Harley Davidson Oil Change, Service, & Safety Inspection-PRE-Milwaukee 8 Harley Milwaukee-Eight Routine Oil Change, Service, & Safety Inspection The price for these high definition tutorial videos is nothing really as they pay for themselves over and over again! No, changing the oil and servicing your own Harley DOES NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY and it can't. You are protected by the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act and your dealership personnel will tell you so. You just need to save your product purchase receipts and sign the back of your owner's manual for the services you do! We here at Law Abiding Biker Media, Inc. service our Harley's ourselves of course. However, due to contracts and department practices, I am required to have my issued Police Harley-Davidson Electra Glide serviced at a dealership. Because of this, I learn a ton of actual real-world information that I can share with the community here. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Please understand, I have nothing but the utmost respect for certified Harley mechanics and I have several that are friends. I gather real information from them to relate to you. I am in no way talking badly about those Harley mechanics or dealerships. I am just relating the facts so you can be more informed about what actually occurs on one of these routine Harley oil changes/services. On my most recent oil change/service on my 2018 Police Harley Electra Glide with the Milwaukee-Eight motor, I spent time with mechanics while they serviced my bike. By doing so, I re-confirmed what I had learned years earlier. They do nothing more than what we show you in our Harley oil change/service tutorial videos. And, we actually show you a few additional things in those videos along with many tips and tricks. You must understand that motorcycle and car dealerships alike have very specific protocols for servicing vehicles. That means if their service book says that a routine Harley oil change and service takes 3.5 hrs (and the book does say this) then that is what you will be billed for regardless if they get it done sooner. This is nothing new, but surprisingly many Harley and car owners alike do not know this. No, the mechanics don't check every bolt and torque on your Harley as some out there believe. This would be absurd anyway. They may check the front and rear axle bolt torques as an example, but that would be all as they are more critical components. Much of what they check is visual and if there is no problem spotted then nothing is done further and it is checked off the list. An example would be visually checking oil, fuel lines, fluid levels, brake pads, belts, sprockets etc. In addition to visual inspections, much can be checked when the mechanic takes your Harley out for a test ride after the oil change. Lights, throttle, switches, shocks, and clutch are just a few. If the bike is running great and all feels to work well then nothing further is needed. I was provided with a .pdf inspection sheet that the mechanic prints out to make sure he/she checks the most important things. It is a list of about 40 things, many being visual inspections. It is nowhere near 200 items. Tire pressure, tread, brake pads, oil change, fluid levels, and filters are common things during a routine service of course. Again, we show you all this in our awesome tutorial videos. Listen in to learn more as we go through each item that was checked or done at the dealership to my Police Harley when receiving a routine service and oil change. After you listen and view one of our Harley oil change/service videos you'll wonder why you ever paid that much money at a dealership. Plus, there's no better feeling than servicing and taking pride in your Harley.

LAB-179-My New 2018 Police Harley Electra Glide Milwaukee-Eight!
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com I have been riding and training on my 2013 Police Harley Electra Glide for some time now. I love this bike and work on it daily as a Motorcycle Police Officer. I am retiring this bike that now has about 30,000 miles on it, which is standard for the agency I work for. It will become a spare bike and mostly sit. I'm being issued a brand new 2018 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police Edition and I'm super excited. These Police Harley's come stock with a bunch of emergency equipment, wiring, and switches. We also have to customize them locally with radios and computers. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Listen in as we discuss my new Police Harley. My 2013 has the 103 motor and a cable clutch. My new 2018 Harley will have the 107 ci Milwaukee-Eight motor and a hydraulic clutch. Switching from a Harley cable to hydraulic clutch can take some time when riding aggressively on training courses, but it's not a big deal for me as my personal 2014 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special has a hydraulic clutch. Generally speaking, a cable clutch has a little bigger gray area than a hydraulic. For years, we adjusted our cable clutch to exactly where we wanted it to engage when we let the lever out. GET OUR HARLEY MILWAUKEE-EIGHT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGE VIDEO HERE With a hydraulic clutch there are no adjustments at all. However, we are testing some aftermarket adjustable clutch levers for our police Harley's and are liking them. I will do a future video review of what model of adjustable lever we decide on, so stay tuned and make sure you are subscribed to our YouTube Channel. My 2013 Police Harley is a pre-2014 Rushmore model. My 2013 bike shakes quit a bit, especially at idle. This new 2018 Harley is amazing and they got ride of a ton of shaking and vibration with the Milwaukee-Eight motor. The power increase is very noticeable too. I have already ridden new Police Milwaukee-Eight bikes and the transition will be fairly easy for me. This bike is powerful and smooth. Listen in as we give you an inside look and details on what it takes to get up and running with a Police Harley. It is quite a process before the bike is ready to hit the road. I actually stripped down the two new Harley's we got. I removed the fairings, seats, and fuel tanks to give our radio & computer guys access to equip the bikes. I will put the bikes back together when they are done. Sponsor-Ciro 3D CLICK HERE!

LAB-178-Replacing & Flushing Harley Brake Fluid-Harley Voluntary Recall-DIY
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode, Oscar and I fill you in on the recent voluntary Harley-Davidson brake fluid recall and their recommendation to replace/flush your brake fluid every two years regardless of mileage. We spent the day flushing & replacing the brake fluid in my 2014 Harley Street Glide Special and on Oscar's 2013 Harley Ultra Classic in the Law Abiding Biker shop. Of course, we filmed this and it will eventually release on our YouTube channel, so you too can perform this task. There is no need to take your Harley to a dealership. We'll show you how to do it and how easy it is. Make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube Channel, so you're notified when we come out with tutorial videos like this.

The owner's manual now says to test the brake fluid with a tester. Get the video and save money by not having to take your Harley to a dealership to have a simple oil change and service done. Understand, that bleeding your Harley brakes and flushing the system is basically the same process. When just bleeding your brakes to get rid of air, you just add fluid to the master cylinder until you get the air out. You are mixing the new fluid with the old. When you are actually flushing and replacing your brake fluid, you suck the master cylinder dry and then put new fluid in and bleed the brake system until all the old fluid is evacuated, thus having all new fluid in the brake system. This brake fluid issue is not specific to Harley as all motorcycles use much of the same brake fluid. Harley was just getting ahead of the game and recommending changing it out every two years to avoid any problems. You should do this on your motorcycle regardless of what make. Check out awesome motorcycle tutorial videos here! Brake fluid is cheap, so if you do this brake flush yourself in your own shop or garage, you'll only spend $6-$10 on the brake fluid. Also, know that brake fluid captures moisture, so don't keep your bottle of brake fluid after you open it on the shelf for future use. Once you open it and use what you need, get rid of the rest. Buy a new bottle the next time. Here is a good article from Harley-Davidson about the voluntary recall and the need to replace your brake fluid every two years. Don't mind the part where they say to have a certified technician perform the flush.

LAB-176-LEAD ACID VS. LITHIUM-ION MOTORCYCLE BATTERIES
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Every biker will eventually have to replace the battery on your motorcycle. Many bikers wonder if they should get an old lead-acid or replace it with a newer lithium-ion motorcycle battery. There are many things to consider before making this decision and we break it down for you in this podcast episode. Good quality lithium-ion motorcycle batteries are lighter, smaller, charge faster, hold their charge longer, last longer overall, have better warranties, & often have more cold cranking amps. They are however more expensive than a lead-acid, but the cost may be well worth it. On average a lithium-ion battery costs 30% more than a lead-acid. You'll also need a lithium-ion specific battery tender. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The first possible drawback to a lithium-ion is that if you let it fall to below 11 volts by accidentally leaving your headlight as an example, you may permanently damage the battery. Whereas, a lead-acid in good shape could be charged and likely recover. I drained my lithium-ion motorcycle battery to less than 1 volt and it recovered just fine, but it was rather new. The second drawback, not really in my opinion, to a lithium-ion motorcycle battery, is that if you leave your motorcycle out in temperatures below freezing for an extended period of time, you'll have to "wake" the battery to get it cycling. This is easily done by turning your headlight on for a short period or bumping the starter a few times. Once awake, you lithium-ion goes to work fast and gives you those cold cranking amps. These are just some of the things you need to know about lithium-ion vs. lead-acid motorcycle batteries........

LAB-175-NEW LAB SHOP & MEDIA PODCAST STUDIO-PATRON MEET UP/RIDE 2018 UPDATE
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com We talk about the new and completed Law Abiding Biker Shop & Studio in this episode! We are mostly moved into the new facility and this was our first official broadcast from it. This was a live Patron Member only live video broadcast. We had a lot of fun live chatting with our beloved Patron Members. We just want to thank everyone that helped make the new shop and studio a reality through our fundraiser campaign, Patron member pledges, donations, shopping in our store, and buying our premium videos. The support has been awesome and we could not have done it without the support of the law abiding biker community. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE We talk about some of the things that got scaled back due to available funds that we can hopefully later complete. Overall, we got most of the main things done for the new facility and we are happy to be podcasting and filming out of it. We have air conditioning in the main studio that can run while podcasting! No more sweatshop! We have space in the shop to actually move around and film! My wife got her garage back and my daughter's got their bonus room back. They have all selflessly given those up for the past 5 years as they support our mission to help as many bikers as we can worldwide. Lurch and Big Daddy also recently built new personal shops. We do a roundtable discussion and talk about things you should consider when building a new shop and what the different options are. We all did things a bit different, so you should get some good insight. You only get one shot when investing in and building a new shop, so make sure you put some thought into it. 2018 Patron Meetup and Ride Details: As usual, the meetup and ride this year will be for Patron Members only. We will give some general details publicly here, but to get all the details to include times and locations, you'll have to communicate with us directly. This can be done in the private Patron Only Facebook Group. We are compiling a list of each member that plans to attend. We'll be in touch with you and give the full details as the date approaches. The one day event will take place on June 24, 2018 and we'll meet at a location near Papillion, Nebraska. We'll meet in the morning and do a planned day ride together. Then we'll ride to a location in the Omaha, Nebraska area for a social event and provided dinner. The day ride will be about 3 hours saddle time and include a lunch and fuel stop. This should give you a good idea on the event, so you can decide if you will be able to attend. We must know of your attendance no later than May 31, 2018, for planning and cost purposes. After that date, the list will close and no further sign-ups or attendance will be accepted.

LAB-174-Interview With Ryan Urlacher-CEO of Law Abiding Biker Media
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com This is an interview with me, Ryan Urlacher, CEO of Law Abiding Biker Media. I was contacted by freelance writer Janalee Chmel as she wanted to write a story on me for one, if not two different magazine publications. The story is at least going to appear in a tattoo magazine called Inkspired. Yes, I have tattoos and am a biker, so she thought it was fitting. Janalee has been following the Law Abiding Biker Podcast, our YouTube Channel, our website articles, our online motorcycle store, and joined our email club to learn all she could about us. She was also very interested in our Exclusive Patron Membership and benefits. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE I recorded this interview and let you listen in as Janalee asks me a ton of great questions. She really digs in and gets behind the scenes of Law Abiding Biker Media and how I, Ryan Urlacher, founded and continue to run Law Abiding Biker Media with all its different aspects. I share many of my thoughts from the past 5 years since the inception of Law Abiding Biker Media back in March of 2013. I started this endeavor back then with nothing more than an iPad, microphone, and computer and used my daughter's closet as a soundproof recording room. Wow, we have come along way since then. We also discuss some of the hard times we've endured, such as our recent December 2017 online store storage facility fire where we lost all of our inventory and were not insured for it. I give you my deepest thoughts on the matter and what it's taking to try and rebuild that particular part of the business. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Law Abiding Biker Media has grown rapidly in the last 5 years and we continue to move forward into the future. Everyone behind the scenes here continues to put in countless hours of blood, sweat, and tears to serve the motorcycle/biker community. We could not have gotten to where we are without the support of that community, which I am still humbled by each day.

LAB-172-The Last Motorcycle on Earth Indie Film Series-Writer/Director Eric Ristau
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com The Last Motorcycle on Earth is being filmed in Missoula, Montana by Writer, Director, and Cinematographer Eric Ristau on a shoestring budget and it's a true passion project for him. I interviewed Eric back on podcast episode #68 about his Sit, Stay, Ride Sidecar Dogs Documentary Film. In this episode, I have the pleasure of talking with Eric and his lead actor and co-producer of the film, Neil Olson. Also involved in the film is Eric's wife, Geneva Ristau, who is a co-producer and editor. Eric is part of the law abiding biker community and produces great films for bikers. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE It is not cheap to create films such as this and the expenses are piling up. So far, everything has been done out of pocket and on a tight budget. Eric has started an Indiegogo Fundraiser to assist with expensive items such as visual effects, sound mixing, and music composition and the fundraiser ends mid-May 2018. These things would give the film more value for the audience. There are rewards dependant on your contribution amount. Top rewards include a speaking role in the movie and more! It is yet to be determined if this will be a stand-alone film or spawn into a series. I will definitely be supporting Eric and the crew in moving forward! This motorcycle film looks so promising and I'm excited about it after watching the official trailer! The Last Motorcycle on Earth is a dramatic series about a vintage motorcycle collector and bike builder, Conrad Mendel, as he grapples with a new world of technology that threatens to destroy his passion and way of life.

Motorcycles and riders are an easy first target in the drive to ban human-operated vehicles. Impossible, you say? Not so fast. Summary: The story centers on a small group of motorcyclists facing down the federal government and the tech industry as society is pushed to ban motorcycles, petroleum and transition to self-driving cars.

LAB-171-Learn About the Iron Legacy Motorcycle Club-Interview-Guest Ray Lubesky | PT 2 of 2
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com This is part two of two of my podcast interview with Ray "Izod" Lubesky, the International President of the Iron Legacy Motorcycle Club. Ray Lubesky was one of the founding members of the Iron Order MC, but is now with the Iron Legacy MC. Lubeksy says he was expelled from the Iron Order MC along with other members over disagreements in the club's direction. At that point, Lubesky and others started the Iron Legacy Motorcycle Club which now has chapters in the United States and abroad. Of course, the Iron Order Motorcycle Club still exists under new leadership. Past Interview with Lubesky when he was with the Iron Order MC: Episode #65-Iron Order Motorcycle Club-Official Podcast Interrogation-Part 1 of 2 Episode #64-Iron Order Motorcycle Club-Official Podcast Interrogation-Part 2 of 2 We dive deep into everything you need to know about this club. The Iron Legacy claims to be a law abiding club and I can find no credible evidence to the contrary. The Iron Legacy MC is not a Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club (LEMC) nor do they claim such. They do have law enforcement members along with many other members from different walks of like. I ask Lubesky the tough questions in this interview as there is controversy that surrounds him and the Iron Legacy MC, which was also the case when he was with the Iron Order MC. You will definitely want to listen in on both podcast episodes dedicated to this interview. You won't hear an interview like this on any other motorcycle/biker podcast out there. The Iron Order is a very large international motorcycle club. Like all law-abiding biker clubs should do, they refuse to follow the "Confederation of Clubs" (COC) rules. The COC has no authority over free members of the motorcycling community. They have no authority over anyone unless you willfully let them control you. For the most part, only the criminal biker community gives them any attention. Criminal bikers make up far less than 1% of all bikers/motorcyclists on the road. Instead, the Iron Legacy is a part of the Alliance of Motorcycle Clubs, which is for law-abiding biker clubs. The Alliance was created to promote fellowship and networking amongst law-abiding biker clubs. There is no fee to belong to The Alliance, but there is an MOU. About the Iron Legacy MC: Taken from their website: On July 4, 2004 several men gathered in a garage in Indiana to found a unique law abiding club that was beholden to none. That club grew to become a huge family of brothers that paved the way for others to follow. In 2015 many of these brothers decided to start a new club to continue the Legacy of those founding principles and beliefs established in 2004. Our oaths to those founding principles and that club are intact, honored and followed to the letter as we carry that torch with us to this honorable endeavor of perseverance and continuance before those very ideals are lost to change forever. This is our opportunity to reignite the old school, traditional heritage of MC's from the 50's and early 60's, following those traditions and close brotherhood all clubs seek. Our history is built on those premises established 14 years ago and we're starting our 15th year as Iron Legacy MC. Not a new beginning, but a return to the origins we swore our allegiance to that brought us together years ago with new horizons.

LAB-169-Cam Upgrades on Your Harley-Davidson & Stage Kits 101? What You Need to Know
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com A Harley-Davidson cam upgrade on your engine can provide more power for certain RPM ranges, which is completely dependent on what style aftermarket cam you purchase. A more extreme cam can also make your bike run in a way that's not optimal for your type of riding. A cam upgrade after the original purchase of your Harley from a dealership will also likely void your factory and/or extended engine warranty. Additionally, cams and installs can get rather costly. So, many considerations need to be made before you make a decision to upgrade your Harley cam. Note: We are not experts on Harley cam upgrades, but we are simply trying to relate general and basic knowledge to help the average everyday biker out there. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE With so many aftermarket Harley cams available and so much improper information in the spam filled online Harley forums, we wanted to record this podcast episode to help the average everyday biker out there decide and navigate through the smoke and mirrors, as to help all make an educated decision on whether or not to upgrade the cam on a Harley. We break it down Law Abiding Biker style! I had Oscar & Big Daddy on the mics with me and they are both well versed in Harley cam upgrades. Don't worry, listen in and you'll see we break it down and don't get overly technical on this subject-just what you need to know. By installing a cam upgrade on your Harley, you can increase horsepower or torque by essentially changing your valve timing. You'll be letting the exhaust out and fuel/air in at very specific times. By changing this timing, you can increase maximum torque in different ranges, such as low or high. It's all about the "grind" of your cam and that can get really technical. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Why doesn't Harley use better stock cams? A stock cam in your Harley provides a safe range and tries to do everything "okay" through all the ranges and it's EPA compliant. You'll see nothing great at the low or high end, but the bike will start well and run well for the average everyday rider out there. And, let's not forget that a very large portion of Harley-Davidson's income is from selling performance aftermarket parts and charging high labor rates to install such parts. They'd lose much money if they put a better stock cam in the motor at the factory. Question to ask yourself: Before a cam upgrade on your Harley, you'll want to ask yourself-what model of Harley engine do you have and what kind of riding do you do? Maybe you're riding a bagger with a passenger and you want low-end torque to take off quicker up to a certain RPM? Or, maybe you'll choose more of a horsepower cam and would like horsepower to kick in at a higher mid-range RPM, so when you roll the throttle to pass a car it's there for you? Check out awesome motorcycle tutorial videos here! You'll also want to decide if you want a regular or high lift cam. With a high lift cam, you'll need to have a modified high flow head. You'll have to have polished intake and exhaust ports or even have the ports made bigger (ported). You'll have to replace things like stronger valve springs and larger valves and so on. This can get in depth and expensive quick. An aftermarket cam for your Harley can push your valves up farther or keep them open longer, creating different levels of torque and/or horsepower. A high lift cam will push the valve deeper into the cylinder and keep it open longer. A high lift cam will likely give your engine that "loping" sound at idle as you often hear in muscle cars. Basically, a low-end cam is about improving torque, while a high lift cam is about horsepower. You'll want to decide if you want a chain or gear driven cam. For more information on that subject, you'll want to listen to Podcast Episode #73. Your stock Harley cam is chain driven out of the factory. Generally speaking, gear driven cams for Harley are a bit more reliable long-term. Gear driven cams do whine a bit over the stock chain driven cams. Gear driven cam kits are a bit more expensive than chain and a little more is involved on the install as you'll have to measure crank run out with a dial gauge and make sure the cam is still true etc. What are the Harley stage kits? Harley basically has four different stage kits, such as stage one, stage two & so on. Basically, those kits are put together by Harley and the parts included in the kits work well together. By getting a Harley stage kit you don't have to spend a bunch of time researching and piecing things out. As the stage kits get higher in number the more parts and labor are involved. But, higher number stage kits are well beyond just getting a new cam. A stage one kit is basic air intake and exhaust all the way up to stage 4, which will be a large project such as air intake, exhaust, larger pistons, cam and more. This is a basic explanation and you should reference a Harley dealership or the HD website to get all the specifics for each stage kit. Other awesome aftermarket comparable stage kit: You should also consider the Vance & Hines 30+ Horspower Kit, which is an all-inclusive kit. We like this kit so much we brought it right to the Law Abiding Biker Store. The kit comes with the following items. - Oversized 450 Slip-ons (chrome or black) with Carbon Fiber End Caps (exclusive to 30+ HP Kit) - Carbon Fiber VO2 Air Intake Kit - Fuelpak FP3 with Raceshop Mapping - Power Dual Head Pipes (chrome or black) - 575 Camshaft Set - Adjustable Pushrods - Vance & Hines Inscribed black Timing Cover Check out the V&H 30+ Horsepower Kit & further details in Our Store Picking a Cam: Most reputable Harley cam manufacturers will have all the specifications for a particular grind cam listed on their website. You can look at things such as-what RPM range the cam is for? So, make sure you do a little research to make sure you're getting what you want. Understand, that with many basic shallow ramp or "mild" cams you can just install the cam and pushrods and be good to go. That is likely as far as an average everyday Harley rider needs to go. Getting into more aggressive high lift cams will add many additional issues and associated costs and may not be necessary. But, it's your bike, money, and time, so equip your Harley how you choose. You'll also want to consider a "bolt in" cam for ease of installation. These bolt-in cams fit right in with ease. The cam doesn't actually bolt-in, but that is just a phrase that means no other mods will be needed for fiment. Note: A cam upgrade for a Harley is the best bang for your buck to improve the performance of your Harley from stock. Tuning your Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) after a cam install: You'll need to re-map your EFI with a good quality aftermarket tuner after a cam install. We recommend the Vance & Hines FuelPak 3, which we use and sell in our store. You can tell V&H techs what cam and kit you installed and they can send a map to your smartphone that you can then upload into the FuelPak 3 and then flash your bike's ECM. Tip: Before buying an upgraded cam for your Harley, call your EFI tuner manufacturer and make sure they either have or will create a map for you. You may also consult your cam manufacturer and see if they have an EFI map. Check out Podcast Episode #34 for a ton of great information on EFI tuners for Harley. Must Listen in: This is just some of the information we discuss. You absolutely must listen in on this podcast episode to hear what cams and kits we actually like best!

LAB-168-Smaller Harley Riders & Females-Does Size Matter? | Modifications, Tips, & Tricks
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Smaller Harley rider? This episode is a result of a voicemail we got from listener Stephanie Crabtree of Kansas City, Missouri. She asked about Harley's and smaller rider issues, mainly females. She wanted to know what would be a good Harley for her at 5-03 and 120 lbs. She wanted our opinions on this issue and that's exactly what we give in this episode. This begs the question-does size matter? Yah, I said it. Stephanie also wanted to know about females in a club setting and whether she should join one, so we touch on that too. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The size of Harley you purchase is often determined by your riding experience and not size necessarily, as some modifications to the larger models can be made. We'll talk about that later. Our suggestion for a newer smaller Harley rider is the Street or Sportster models as they are smaller, lighter, and cost less. You could move into one of the smaller Softail models from there. I will say that even if you're a smaller Harley rider, you shouldn't be scared off by the bigger Harley touring models. If you use proper riding and control techniques, you can easily handle a larger bike. Size doesn't really matter that much when controlling a motorcycle. Being bigger will help you if you have to lift the motorcycle after dropping it though. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Jumping on a bigger taller bike can be a challenge for a smaller Harley rider when it comes to stopping and touching the ground. Some modifications can be made to the motorcycle such as lower rear shocks and a lower profile seat. You can certainly drop inches doing these mods. You could also wear boots with thicker type soles, thus adding inches of reach. These are just a few tricks. Be careful not to go to the extreme with the Harley mods or you'll lose the rideability of the bike. This article is just a glimpse into some of the information we reveal in this podcast episode, so you'll need to listen in for the rest. We also give our opinions on whether or not Stephanie should join a motorcycle club and what type.

LAB-167-Rickrak Quick Detach Luggage, Saddlebag Safety Pins, Gas Kap Keeper, & More!
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com We are happy to announce that we brought some awesome Rickrak products to the Law Abiding Biker Store for all you Bikaholics. Yup, products by Rickrak get our full stamp of approval and we've tried, tested, and use these products. We talk about many of the Rickrak products in this episode and what we learned about them. We'll definitely give you some things to think about. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE FOR RICKRAK! Shane and his dad Rick Riffel, a father-son team out of Huntersville, NC, have developed a unique quick detach luggage system for Harley-Davidson and Indian motorcycles. And it's the best in our opinion! In less than 10 seconds you can have your luggage off and on your Harley or Indian! And no more luggage straps slapping your paint. Those days are gone for good. The Rickrak is sturdy, yet light. Videos: Check out our YouTube Channel or this website and use the search bars to search for "Rickrak". We've done a multitude of free video reviews and installs of Rickrak products. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! You also gotta check out Rickrak's high-quality Harley Saddlebag Safety Bolts. We've tested many similar products and we believe Rickrak's are the best out there by far. They are super high quality and used by the crew here. Beware of the cheap stock pins that hold your Harley bags on. There have been recalls and lawsuits over bags falling off over the years. And, never lose or leave your motorcycle gas cap again. If you're like me, I take it off and put it on top of the dirty pump. Yup, I've seen many biker friends leave the cap behind and they are not cheap at all to replace. Plus, you're picking up grime that can then be introduced to your fuel system. With the simple Gas Kap Keeper Magnet by Rickrak, you won't leave it behind anymore. It installs in seconds and you can then stick your gas cap to your tank, ignition, or anywhere else metal. And, it has a super awesome protective coat, so it won't scratch your paint. Listen in to this episode to get all these details and much more.

LAB-166-Motorcycle Group Riding & Hand Signals-Best Practices
Official website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-We here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media, Inc. do plenty of group motorcycle riding. We ride thousands of miles cross country each year in a group riding setting. We also ride in all different city environments as a group. We are very comfortable riding in a very close group and two abreast, handlebar to handlebar. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE! Our comfort level comes from experience and time riding motorcycles together. Group riding should not be taken lightly and needs to be practiced. If particular individuals have never ridden in a group together then I strongly suggest an experienced group rider should give a quick briefing and go over the basics as a reminder to all involved riders. At times we get new riders in our group at we give a briefing for safety purposes. We don't ride nearly as close if we're integrating a new rider(s) into the group until such time they become experienced and we evaluate them. These are all things that each group needs to take into account. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! You really need to listen in to this episode, as we go over many details and best practices for group riding based on our training and experience.

LAB-165-Renting & Riding a Motorcycle in Maui, Hawaii | Best Rides on the Island
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode, both Popeye and I talk about our recent experiences with renting a Harley and riding in Maui, Hawaii. We actually went completely separate times and had different experiences. We were just talking about it for the first time on this episode. The cool thing is that we both rode somewhat different routes. Popeye has also ridden another Island and tells you which experience was better. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE! There are some rather unimproved roads in Maui and certain roads require a bit more riding experience. Don't worry, there are also plenty of easier roads and we'll give you the details based on your riding experience. We discuss in depth how our Harley rental experience went. We provide you with some best practices, tips, and tricks if you are going to rent a Harley in Maui. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! We highly recommend that if you are going to visit Maui to rent a Harley and spend a day riding the Island. There are some beautiful roads and scenery and you'll never forget the experience. So, take a listen and see if riding Maui is on your "must ride" list. My Ride: I was riding with my 12-year-old daughter and opted out of the long and popular Hana Highway (Hwy 360) this time around. I didn't just want to hammer down all day like I'd do by myself. I figured I can do that ride next time I go to Hawaii. I rode out of Kannapali to the north around Hwy 30 up around the top of the Island and planned to keep going back down the east side of the Island along Hwy 340 into Kahului. However, up around the Nakalele Blowhole they had the road shut down due to construction. This would normally be about a 1 1/2 hour ride with no stops. But there are plenty of sights that you'll want to stop see along the way. We had to turn around and go back down Hwy 30 along the west side of Maui and crossed east along Hwy 380 into Kahului. This was a beautiful ride and we really enjoyed it. We ate at Da Kitchen located at 425 Koloa St., Suite 104 Kahului, HI 96732. It was featured on the Food Networks show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. The food was outstanding and I highly recommend it. Popeye's Ride: Popeye had his wife along and she can hang in the saddle a bit longer than my 12-year-old daughter. They opted to ride out of Kaanapali and did ride the famous Hwy 360, Hana Highway. They really liked the ride and said it was beautiful, but expect isolated rain as it's a rainforest. Also, that ride for them was about 3 hours one way with no stops (77 miles). Ad another 3 hrs to return and you're looking at 6 hours saddle time with no stops. And there are a ton of stops along the Hana Highway and you'll likely want to eat at some point. So, that is a super long day, so just understand that if you choose that ride. Additionally, after riding the Hana Highway, they rode up the east side of the Island to the north out of Kahului along Hwy 340 and their plan was to continue around the north side of the Island via Hwy 3o. This is the way my daughter and I tried, but the opposite direction. Well, they too were stopped by the road construction and turned around. Riding this additional loop would add an additional 1 1/2 hrs to the ride with no stops. Again, there are things you'll want to stop and see in my opinion. Popeye and his wife didn't do much stopping and just laid down miles. If you are going to do both of these routes in one day, then just plan on throttling down with very little time to stop. You'll have to decide if you want to just plain ride or have some time to stop and see things. Further on Hana Highway: Although Hāna is only about 52 miles (84 km) from Kahului, it takes about 2.5 hours to ride when no stops are made as the highway is very winding and narrow and passes over 59 bridges, 46 of which are only one lane wide. There are approximately 620 curves along Route 360 from just east of Kahului to Hāna, virtually all of it through lush, tropical rainforest.

LAB-164-Is Harley-Davidson Going Out of Business in 2018? | Closing?
Official website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this episode we talk about a YouTube video that was being passed around recently by some click bait channel called "Company Man". The title of that video reads "The Problem Facing Harley-Davidson" and the description reads "Harley-Davidson is the biggest name in motorcycles...but they've seen better days. This video discusses the big problem they are facing." and nothing more. No, I'm not linking to that video as it's clearly biased. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE! We won't completely trash the video or the creator as it at least brings up some points for discussion, so thanks for that. Be careful with channels like this as we can't confirm the guy who made this video even rides or is involved in the motorcycle industry at all. He just took a bunch of video clips he got elsewhere online and made a voiceover with different information he found. He's likely not even qualified to speak about this issue. We think it's mostly hype about Harley-Davidson having any sort of substantial problems and we don't think they have any more than they always have. Many articles are floating around the internet on this subject, very few being credible. This has been going on for a long time and of course, Harley-Davidson is the longtime leader in the United States. Many competitors want them to go down and so this sort of propaganda floats around. That happens to every big leading company, regardless of the industry. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! We really break it down in this episode, so you'll have to listen in to find out the truths and of course our opinions. Yes, because we are actual bikers and involved in the biker industry, unlike the creator of that particular video. I'm not biased. Heck, I'd be the first to tell you if I believed Harley had any new or major issues. With that said, Harley has been changing and trying new things for some time and they'll need to continue to be very progressive to stay relevant or they will face serious problems. Clearly, Harley knows they have to step up their game and change with the times. They have several other manufacturers biting at their heels and trying to get a piece of the pie.

LAB-163-Is Royal Enfield Taking on Harley-Davidson?
Official Website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-In this podcast we discuss Royal Enfield motorcycles and their place in the motorcycling industry. Is Royal Enfield an actual competitor to Harley-Davidson? Enfield has a largely negligible presence in the U.S., and its bikes typically have small engines compared to the big bore bikes Harley produces. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE! In late 2017, Royal Enfield introduced in India its first big twin-engine motorcycle. They introduced the interceptor INT 650 and the Continental GT 650, bikes that will compete head-to-head with Harley's Street 750. India only accounts for around 2% of Harley-Davidson's total sales, but it owns 60% of the big bike market there and a local player with a vastly larger distribution network could certainly create problems. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Royal Enfield is very popular and vastly outsells Harley-Davidson. However, Royal Enfield may be trying to get a bigger piece of the pie in the U.S. market. In the United States, Harley-Davidson has around 700 dealerships and Enfield only has just a few dozen in the U.S. and Canada. That said, Enfield's bikes could strike a chord with the emerging domestic motorcycle buyer.

LAB-160-Carrying a Firearm While Riding Motorcycles-Bikers & Handguns | What you need to know
Official website: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com Podcast-This episode was a direct result of Patreon Member Russell Roberts. He gave me the topic idea some time ago and he happened to be in town, so we grabbed the mics and spit this episode for you. Lurch was also in the studio and weighed in. Russell Roberts is like many law abiding bikers out there and exercises his 2nd Amendment Rights to carry a firearm while riding his motorcycle when he legally can. He wants to follow the rules, but that can be confusing, especially when traveling across State lines. Different States have different rules. Some States have reciprocity agreements and may recognize another State's concealed carry permit. Other States don't recognize any permit except their own. In some States, you can open carry and in others, you can't. It gets just plain confusing for most. Lurch and I are full-time Law Enforcement Officers and can carry across all State lines and in places others can't. We forget all the rules regular citizens have to try and navigate. This is why it was great to have Russell in the studio to give the perspective of a regular citizen and what he's learned. He gives some great advice and some great resources for bikers who want to carry a concealed weapon (see below resources). You really must listen to this entire episode if you are a motorcycle enthusiast and also exercise your right to carry a concealed firearm.
