I went to order the Blackmill kit with stand-offs but he had sold out so I purchased the kit without them for a discounted price of $155 (was $195). So I decided to alter the stock stand-offs to mount the lights and it turned out pretty good. He are some dimensions if you decide to do it yourself, I scribed a line .450” from where the stand off mounts to the signal so I could keep the angle:
Dimensions of the altered stand-off is .680” short end 1.080” long end (I did this on a 4” wide belt sander)



.450” shorter


push out the brass sleeve and shorten to.690 oal



drill 5/16” holt for the bolt and 17/64” for the wire, the mounting bolt I shortened to 1.735” oal

 

Rear looks good but you’re not concerned about not having a refector?

 

Added 4” fat curved HD risers, 9” windshield, and Skull derby cover. Done for a while (but never really done).

 

do you have the details of the hard case saddle ? plug and play or there are lots of modifications to have this done ?

thanks.

 

Great question. Brackets are from Sumax. They did not go on per instructions but Sumax is now aware of that and may have made adjustments for the sport glide. Sumax is expensive but super sturdy. I’m happy to walk you through the slight installation change. See pic. The lower arm of the bag frame is supposed to mount behind the bike frame but it won’t fit. So you need to attach it in front of the bike frame but behind the foot peg mount.




Bags are here:

Complete Hard Saddlebags W Locks...
Decent quality, great price and install pretty easily on the Sumax brackets.

Hope this is helpful but also happy too walk you through on the phone if needed. Good luck.

 

hi, I'm Pieter from The Netherlands, just got a new Sport Glide, I had a FLHRSE5 CVO before this new bike, just wanted a bike with less weight, M8 engine, better frame, roadholding and suspension and little bags and a more contemporary looks, minimal or no batwing...…..so there was the Sport Glide……
what did I change; 5,5 " windscreen, the best windscreen I ever had, better than the windsplitter on the CVO, Rinehart slip-on, perfect sound an not too long like the SE, SE ventilator air filter, better looks than that little round helmet……., engine guard, I never ride without; I think that is enough for the moment, maybe some other risers and mini floorboards, but I am satisfied with my seat, controls and bar so far; it is a nice engine with enough power and brakes do their work ; It is nice to see that several Sport Glides are transformed into HD models that already exist like touring.....

 

Looks nice!

 

Sharp bike. Almost makes me wish I had chosen that color instead of Performance Orange. Maybe my bright orange will save my hide from getting slammed by some texting soccer mom.

 

Nice pictures!

 

Pieter, you stated that some sport glide owners transform their bikes into touring models. This is definitely true for me and for good reason. I waffled for months between the street glide and the sport glide. I wanted the bag space and fairing of the street glide but the sport glide just felt more manageable, controllable and comfortable given my body frame (5’ 9”, 180lbs with a 31” inseam). And, 90% of my rides are less than 30 miles round trip. So the sport glide just made sense but I’m adding some of the street glide features — best of both worlds.
