Don’t Buy Sena High Def (HD) Helmet Speakers Until You Watch This! And Harley Boom Box Issues?

December 11, 2020 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

Sena HD Speakers

Sena's new high-definition (HD) motorcycle helmet speakers give you the same great sound as the new Sena 50 series Bluetooth communicators. These plug and play Sena HD speakers connect to the standard Sena connector. Audio equalizer presets are available in the smartphone app.

A firmware update is needed but readily available via the existing Sena utility app and device manager. The Sena HD speakers work with the 20S, 20S EVO, 30K, and 50S models.

If you're pairing directly from your smartphone to your Sena headset, then you'll get great high-definition sound after turning it on in the smartphone app.

If you have a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with the Boom Box Infotainment System, then you'll want to know a few things. To get Apple Car Play or Android Auto to activate on the Harley Boom Box, you'll need to have a Sena Harley Boom Audio stamped wireless or wired headset. Also, understand that there is a different Sena Harley branded desktop utility for updating the firmware in these Harley stamped headsets.

As of the date of this article & video, Sena/Harley has not released a firmware update for the Harley Boom Audio headset that will allow high-definition sound for these new Sena HD speakers. And, they will not say if or when that will ever happen. The Sena HD speakers will still work and they do sound a bit better than the stock speakers. However, you won't get that high-definition sound like you would with a regular non-Harley branded Sena headset. If you want to learn everything you need to know about the Harley-Davidson Boom Box Infotainment System and to get the most out of it, then check out our very popular Boom Box Video Tutorial Series!

**If you appreciate this article and video and find it helpful, please consider purchasing Sena HD speakers through the Law Abiding Biker Store!**

Harley-Davidson recently announced they will not be releasing the Bronx Streetfighter as promised later this year. Remember, this was the street racer style bike that was supposed to have the new liquid-cooled Revolution Max engine with 117 HP and 70 pound-foot of torque. Harley says the Streetfighter won't release next year either and won't comment on whether the Streetfighter will ever be released at this point. See my YouTube video titled: New Harley CEO Jochen Zeitz Making Emergency Changes! Sales Plummeting!!

Harley says its immediate new product focus in 2021 will be on the launch of the Pan America, Harley's first adventure touring motorcycle and I’m actually very curious about this bike, as I also love adventure riding. But, I’ve said it before; If this bike is overpriced like the Livewire was when it was released, it will likely be a flop.

Harley continues to struggle here in 2020 and there are reports that 50 dealerships have closed or are in the process of closing and that “significantly more” will shut their doors this year. In July, Harley announced a five-year strategic plan after the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a $92 million loss in the three months through June, with motorcycle sales plummeting 27%. This new overhaul includes vast changes to Harley’s operating model, updated motorcycles, new products, and a focus on accessories and general merchandise.

We talk about this and a whole bunch more, so listen in to this podcast episode for all the details.

Klim K Fifty 1 & 2 Protective Motorcycle Riding Jeans Review

November 27, 2020 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

I thoroughly tested the Klim K Fifty 2 motorcycle riding jeans during a recent 9-day motorcycle trip to Sturgis 2020, the 80th Anniversary. I rode 3200 miles in them and rode in temperatures ranging from 50 degrees to 100+ degrees. (see video below for full review)

There is only one difference between the Klim K Fifty 2 jeans and the Klim K Fifty 1 jeans and that is the cut. The K Fifty 2's are a classic straight leg cut jean and fit like a Levi's 501. The K Fifty 1 jeans are a looser baggier cut. These riding jeans are stylish and overall performed very well. I love the fact that these sorts of motorcycle riding jeans are protective and functional both on and off the bike.

I actually tested multiple motorcycle riding gear items on this trip and will be reviewing each one on our YouTube channel so make sure you're subscribed so you know when those videos release! You can see all the gear items I'll be reviewing in my gear overview video here!

Klim K Fifty 1 & 2 Motorcycle Riding Jeans

Klim K Fifty 1 & 2 Jeans deliver abrasion resistance, impact coverage and style. Heavy-duty Cordura denim is backed by DuPont™ Kevlar® panels to keep the pavement from coming through. D3O EVO knee and hip armor provide CE level impact protection rounded out by Poron XRDA at the tailbone. All these protective features are cleverly hidden within the pant. The Klim K Fifty 1 & 2 jeans lack any telling seam on the outside of the pants that would hint that these jeans are designed to protect motorcyclists.

Features:

Heavy-duty denim riding jean
Cordura denim/nylon cotton blend
D3O EVO knee and hip armor
Stone washed finish with whisker treatment
Adjustable knee armor pocket
Flat-felled seams

Butt Buffer-Best Motorcycle Seat Cushion for Your Butt & Back?

November 17, 2020 By Ryan Urlacher 1 Comment

Classic Style

We thoroughly tested the Butt Buffer motorcycle seat cushion during a 9 day, 3200-mile motorcycle trip to Sturgis 2020 on multiple bikes, including touring and non-touring models. I also tested the Butt Buffer on my Kawasaki KLR 650 while adventuring and off-road riding.

You may think that you have the best seat on your motorcycle but I can tell you from experience that your butt will still get sore and achy if you're riding long distances and for multiple days. Additionally, many of us suffer from varying degrees of lower back pain, which can get worse during these long motorcycle road trips. Our findings were that the Butt Buffer definitely helps with both these issues.

The Butt Buffer is a super-thin hospital-grade seat cushion made of solid and elastic materials and made in the USA. The materials used were originally developed for hospital use to prevent bedsores. And that’s why the Butt Buffer can alleviate pressure points while promoting circulation, which is super important when riding long distances. The Butt Buffer significantly reduces shock and road vibrations, helping with those back issues.

Pebble Polymer Style

The Butt Buffer motorcycle seat cushion is unlike those other air and gel seat pads. It won't leak if punctured and won’t freeze as gel pads will. It fits all motorcycle seats, installs in seconds, and you can easily clean the cover after removing the pad through a velcro closure. Further, the Butt Buffer is water and oil resistant and the materials used are hypo-allergenic.

There are a couple of Butt Buffer motorcycle seat cushions to choose from: (**links to the Law Abiding Biker Store below. Support us if you appreciate all the free content we put out to help the biker community!)

Classic Butt Buffer Seat Cushion
Pebble Polymer Butt Buffer
- Offers all of the benefits of the Classic, however, it also comes with a premium air-flow cover to offer enhanced air circulation to your seat cushion.

The Butt Buffer motorcycle seat cushion comes in three sizes. Small, medium, and large. Simply measure your seat and then head over to the Law Abiding Biker Store where we have the measurements, making it easy for you to choose the correctct size. If you need a passenger cushion, most riders choose the small version but measure your passenger seat area for proper fitment.

Installation of the Butt Buffer is a breeze and there are several options. Please see the video on this page for installation details.

Sturgis Jeff was a career law enforcement officer and has now retired! He certainly has more time to ride his motorcycle now and I'm jealous. In this episode, I have a conversation about Jeff's LEO career and what his retirement life is like. Retirement must be good because Jeff just bought a new 2020 Harley Ultra Limited CVO. This episode is all about biker talk. Yup, it's bikers sitting down and talking about biker stuff. Make sure to listen in as we have a great time and laugh a lot!

REAX Fulton Waterproof Motorcycle Riding Shoes Review

November 5, 2020 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

Reax Fulton WP Riding Shoes (Black/Gum)

I thoroughly tested the Reax Fulton Waterproof Motorcycle Riding Shoes during a recent 9-day motorcycle trip to Sturgis 2020, the 80th Anniversary. I rode 3200 miles in them and rode in temperatures ranging from 50 degrees to 100+ degrees. (see video below for full review)

These riding shoes are stylish and overall performed very well but I do have just a couple of things I think could be better, which I reveal in the video.

Reax Fulton WP Motorcycle Riding Shoes

Throw on the REAX Fulton Riding Shoes when you want a comfortable and casual shoe that still provides basic protection for two-wheeled transportation.

Reax Fulton WP Riding Shoes (Black/Red/White)

Full-grain leather is held together with triple-stitched construction. A waterproof membrane backs the leather exterior to provide breathable waterproofing. A moisture-wicking liner helps keep your feet comfortable. A fully padded top collar with a flex panel makes sure you get a tall protective high top you can still walk in.

Protective ankle cups, a reinforced heel and reinforced toe box add protection your regular sneakers are lacking. A gusseted padded tongue uses webbing to keep your laces in place so they won't get snagged on your bike.

Keep your sneakers at home. Put on the REAX Fulton Riding Shoes when you want to ride protected. Offered in black/gum color or black/red/white.

Features:

- Full-grain leather with triple-stitch construction
- Dual compound sole with EVA mid and durable rubber outsole with a high grip texture and pattern for solid footing
- Full-length composite midsole footbed for added torsional protection
- Waterproof breathable membrane to keep you dry and comfortable
- Moisture-wicking lining with protective ankle cups and reinforced heel cockpit and toe box
- Gusseted padded tongue w/webbing lace stay to keep laces out of your controls
- Fully padded top collar with Achilles flex panel for comfort on or off the bike
- Removable/replaceable shock-absorbing insole
- Flat laces and matte black finished eyelets
- 20mm webbing loop pull
- Rear-facing reflective hit on the heel for easy recognition in low light riding
