I and others have had issued with the Oberon levers. The clutch lever did not engage the switch enough so the bike would not start in gear with the lever pulled in. I glued a tab on so there was more engagement to fix this. BUT, there is also a thread posted here where several of us experienced brake lever leak down after parked for a day. The brake lever would need to be pumped to get back to normal. You can search "Oberon" for more info.
I changed to these instead, also adjustable for length and they work fine: http://www.arhcustom.com/product/ric...030000-b/41790
much closer to the grips can these be adjusted in comparison to stock?
I have spent many days and hours researching upgrades I’ve installed and plan on installing.
everything I’ve put on my bike has been very satisfying in many positive ways. I can honestly say I’ve realized only 2 minor wtf’s. More on that later.
current upgrades:
led front drivers/blinkers lights(bright white until turning then bright amber)
4” pull back handlebar risers
zombie levers
kuryaken grips
7” Slipstreamer smoked windshield
kuryaken driver and passenger mini foot boards
kuryaken shifter
rinehart 4” slip on exhaust
s&s hiflow filter and slotted cover
vance n Hines fuelpak tuner
sundowner seat for me lady
hold fast sissy bar and large back pad
wiring harness for heated gear
rok form cell phone mount
my new shield puts a bit of buffeting at my brow when 55-65mph(oh well)
my kuryaken switchblade rider foot boards are cool but I cannot reach the extendable arm feature(I guess I am short, oh well)
future:
s&s 124 engine upgrade
maybe a removable clip on shield extender for multiple day touring
not sure but maybe complete header and dual exhaust upgrade for two reasons. Will give more performance and lean angle to the right with a good set up and factory peg reinstall.
i think that’s it for now.
Oh, in 3-4 years I’ll probably get me a street glide when I decide to slow it down and stop and smell the pastures!
Your thoughts??
Hi Landshaper, congratulate yourself, you have a really beautiful Sport Glide. I am writing to you from Spain, soon I will buy the Sport Glide 2020, I want to put several accessories among other things the new Slipstreamer windshield. You say yours is 7 inches tall and that fact catches my attention, because in the Sliptreamer catalog I thought I saw that the new Slipstreamer windshield for Sport Glide is 10, 12 or 14 inches.
Can you confirm the height of your Slipstreamer Whindshield?
yours in the photo is Smoked Tint or Dark Smoke?
Does it eliminate noise and turbulence around the helmet?
How tall are you?
If you can answer me and help with these questions I have, I appreciate it.
Greetings
Nothing too crazy yet for me.
engine guard
Highway pegs (on the adjustable, curved mounts meant to go around tourers fairing)
tab performance slip on with zombie baffles (great sound and I like that it slips under the existing shield)
corbin Solo seat (expensive, but highly recommend - I ride with backrest mostly, because I’m old now)
a shifter peg which you can’t see
next will probably be bars and a taller windshield and maybe a breather and tuner.
it’s an 18 I’ve had for about 14 months with 7k mikes.
Where did you get the brackets to relocate your turn signals? I just put the same batwing on my bike and need to figure out what to do with my turn signals.
The floorboards on your Sport Glide look great. What brand? Did you have to do much modification to install them? Do they scrape?
I’ve got the same ones, they’re the Kuryakyn hex mini boards. There’s a separate splined adapter you have to get for them, both are on the Get Lowered Cycles website. I haven’t ridden it very aggressively, so I can’t say much for scraping or not, but they are very comfortable and they look great.
