February 13, 2018 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

Tested by Bikers for Bikers

The Motorcycle Gas Kap Keeper by Rickrak quickly installs on your stock Harley, Indian, or any other motorcycle's stock gas cap. It is a very strong magnet with a non-abrasive coating, so when you stick it to your motorcycle it won't scratch things.

Never lose your motorcycle gas cap again by setting it on top of a gas pump and then riding off. With this simple Gas Kap Keeper installed, you can stick your cap to any metal surface on your motorcycle, so it will always be there for you.

Additionally, you won't have to set your motorcycle gas cap on some dirty surface where it can pick up dirt and grime that you don't want ending up in the fuel tank.

We love this product so much we are all now using the Gas Kap Keeper on our motorcycles here at Law Abiding Biker Media. I also love using this product on my Police Harley. I am often in a hurry, so this product certainly keeps me from leaving my gas caps behind!

Law Abiding Biker Podcast & Media Studio & Shop-Are We Closer to Completion?-VLOG

February 11, 2018 By Ryan Urlacher 2 Comments

Despite our setbacks in late December 2017 when our online store storage facility and all our inventory burned to the ground, we are still moving forward with construction of the new Law Abiding Biker Podcast & Media Studio & Shop. Many of you stepped up to the plate and have donated via our shop/studio construction fundraiser (see link below)! Many of you are Patron members and many of you shop in our online store. We simply could not have considered this construction project had it not been for the motorcycle community supporting us. We are so very thankful each day for all of you Bikaholics out there. We are trying to take things to the next level to better serve the biker community. We must expand to fulfill our future visions.

GO TO OUR FUNDRAISER PAGE HERE!

Thanks to everyone who has helped support this Fundraiser Campaign. Your support humbles me every day. The above-mentioned fire and loss put us behind financially, but we are really trying to get closer to our fundraiser goal. What does this all mean? Well, no worries, it just means that we may get the shop/studio enclosed and then have to stall a bit and save more to get everything done inside that's necessary and envisioned. We will eventually get it all done! We haven't given up in the four years since starting this thing and we're not going to now!! God Bless each one of you that has taken action.

List of videos and info since we started this project:

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.

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.

Best Quality Harley Saddlebag Safety Bolts-Pins-Levers-Never Lose a Saddlebag

February 4, 2018 By Ryan Urlacher 1 Comment

Tested by Bikers for Bikers:

Want to know what the best aftermarket saddlebag replacement safety bolts are for your Harley-Davidson touring motorcycle? We've tested several aftermarket bolts and want to share with you our #1 choice and recommendation.

You are likely aware that pre-2016 model Harley-Davidson motorcycles came with flimsy 1/4 turn pins that secure your Harley saddlebag to your motorcycle. Harley-Davidson had recalls and lawsuits reference these 1/4 turn pins over the years and bikers were actually losing their saddlebags going down the road. This is a serious hazard and not worth the risk. Harley-Davidson is not going to take care of you, so you'll have to protect yourself on this one.

SUPPORT US & GET THE BEST SADDLEBAG SAFETY BOLTS HERE-RICKRAK

There are several companies that came out with replacement safety bolts to combat this issue. We've tested a few of these aftermarket saddlebag bolt security products and found the best solution for your money.

We brought the best Harley Saddlebag Safety Bolts by Rickrak directly to the Law Abiding Biker Store and they get our stamp of approval. They are all we use on our Harley's and we immediately replace any stock 1/4 turn pins with these.

There are two Saddlebag Safety Bolts available:

We like the Rickrak Harley Saddlebag Safety Bolts better than other options out there for several reasons.

First, the Rickrak bolts are made much more solid than other saddlebag bolts. Second, they are thumb screws and don't require any special tools to remove them or install them like others. The thumb screws are very large, solid, and ridged for a super easy grip. You can have your Harley saddlebags off and back on in no time.

These Rickrak Saddlebag Bolts are very easy to install and in this video, we show you how. Once you feel the quality of these bolts in your hand, you'll realize why they are the best on the market!

Don't risk losing your Harley saddlebags and creating a hazard to yourself, other riders, and motorists. Get a set of Rickrak Saddlebag Safety Bolts now.

Be careful of all the junk and knockoffs out there on the market. Your safety is worth it.

Video-How to Install a New Battery on Harley-Davidson-Lithium Ion or Lead Acid

January 25, 2018 By Ryan Urlacher 2 Comments

See Video Below

Eventually, your Harley battery will need to be replaced. We show you how to install a new battery in your Harley-Davidson motorcycle. We'll show you the easiest ways to do this and which things to unplug. Whether you're replacing your battery with a lead-acid or lithium-ion, we will show you how. Don't waste your money paying a dealership to do this easy job. You can do it right in your very own shop or garage.

My Dual Charger/Tender (Lithium-Ion & Lead-Acid)

BikeMaster Lithium-Ion Battery Charger/Maintainer (good charger)

Make sure you use an appropriate battery tender when charging/tending your lithium-ion battery. These charges/tenders are a bit different than lead-acid chargers. A lithium-ion battery tender charges your battery to between 13-14 volts. A lead-acid battery tender charges the battery to about 12.8 volts. So, using the wrong charger/tender will either under or overcharge your particular motorcycle battery. I bought a Battery Tender Junior 12Volt 800mAh AGM, flooded, GEL, or lithium (LiFePO4) 022-0199-DL-WH dual that works for either a lithium-ion or lead-acid with the push of a button. Another great lithium-ion battery charger is the BikeMaster Lithium-Ion Battery Charger/Maintainer. Shop other motorcycle battery tenders here.

LAB-163-Is Royal Enfield Taking on Harley-Davidson?

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.

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.
