| LAB-443-The Untold Stories Behind Our 18-State Harley-Davidson Road Trip (Part 1) | 09 nov. 2026 | 01:57:46 | |
This is part one of a two-part series about our 2026 Northeast Harley-Davidson road trip. In July of 2026, members of Law Abiding Biker™ Media along with members of the Sworn Few LEMC embarked on a 13-day, 3000-mile, Northeastern cross-country motorcycle trip. Lurch and Popeye trailered the bikes to Patron Member Russell Roberts house in Gallatin, Tennessee. From there we road through Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Many of us here at Law Abiding Biker have the goal of riding in all 50 States, and we are almost there! SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREWe visited many places and saw a ton of great country on our Northeast motorcycle trip. We stayed at some good and not-so-good hotels and motels. We ate at some good restaurants and some bad ones. We experienced good and bad weather and a few of the bikes experienced some mechanical problems that had to be fixed.

| LAB-442-Harley and Indian Owners: Is Your Warranty VOIDED? Do Reusable Oil Filters Void Your Warranty? | 26 oct. 2026 | 01:22:51 | |
Do reusable oil filters void your motorcycle warranty? There is a claim spreading around social media and YouTube right now telling Harley-Davidson owners that a bulletin went out to dealerships instructing them to void warranties on any motorcycle running a reusable magnetic oil filter. We saw it show up in our comment section after a recent video, and riders started asking us if their warranties were at risk. So we did what we always do before I say anything on camera. We dug in, researched it, and went directly to our sources inside Harley-Davidson. Here is the short version: there is no bulletin. There never was a bulletin. In this podcast we discuss federal law says about your warranty rights, and where common sense actually has to enter this conversation. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREWe carry both the Figurati Reusable Magnetic Oil Filter and the PC Racing FLO reusable oil filter right in the Law Abiding Biker Store, along with the Figurati magnetic engine and transmission dipsticks. We're just a bootstrap company of bikers helping bikers, we appreciate every customer, and we'll definitely take care of you. We're not like the big corporate stores. We actually use, test, and install many of the products we carry in our store and then make helpful videos for the biker community. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!You can watch our video Maguson-Moss Warranty Act HERE. Every OEM part and Screamin' Eagle part Harley-Davidson sells has been tested extensively and designed to work specifically with their motors. That does not mean aftermarket parts will not work with those motors. It just means they have not been through that same factory testing until they get installed on real bikes and get run for years in the real world. That is exactly the case with reusable magnetic oil filters. Riders have been running them on Harley-Davidson motors for many, many years without issue. There is a long history of this style of filtration in automotive, motorcycle, and racing applications. And we could not find one single case — not one — where a reusable magnetic oil filter caused any issue whatsoever with a Harley-Davidson motor. That speaks for itself. It is also fair to say plenty of Harley-Davidson dealership employees run these filters on their own personal bikes. So like most things in life, there is not one simple answer. Common sense always prevails. Use your head, do a little research on the parts you put on your bike, and make sure they are legitimate and reliable. But what is absolutely true is this: there is no bulletin, there never was a bulletin, and the use of aftermarket oil filters — paper filters and reusable magnetic oil filters alike — will not and cannot automatically void your warranty.

| LAB-441-Law Abiding Biker Team Ride Through Hell's Canyon, Oregon | Indian Roadmaster PowerPlus Review | 19 oct. 2026 | 01:33:59 | |
Javon, Lurch, and I took a couple of days away from the Law Abiding Biker Store and took a team ride. In addition to taking a break to ride, I wanted to put my new 2026 Indian Roadmaster with the PowerPlus motor to the test. Javon rode our loaner 2025 Indian Roadmaster, also with a PowerPlus motor. We road to LaGrande, Oregon and then did the Hell's Canyon Loop Ride. It's an epic ride and we highly recommend you take it. There will be a video of our trip coming to the Law Abiding Biker YouTube Channel in the near future. Listen to our review of the New Indian Roadmaster. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREThe 2026 Indian Roadmaster PowerPlus brings an impressive combination of American touring luxury, modern technology, and serious V-twin performance to the heavyweight motorcycle market. At the heart of this touring machine is Indian's liquid-cooled, 112-cubic-inch (1,834cc) PowerPlus engine, producing an impressive 126 horsepower and 133 ft-lbs of torque straight from the factory. Unlike traditional air-cooled, pushrod V-twins, the PowerPlus features overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, delivering strong acceleration, responsive throttle performance, and plenty of passing power at highway speeds. The six-speed transmission, inverted front forks, Brembo brakes, and electronically adjustable rear suspension preload further enhance the riding experience. With three selectable ride modes—Rain, Standard, and Sport—the Roadmaster allows riders to tailor engine response to their riding conditions.

Riders and passengers benefit from heated seats, heated grips, spacious floorboards, a power-adjustable windshield, and more than 36 gallons of weatherproof storage between the saddlebags and removable trunk. Indian's 7-inch RIDE COMMAND touchscreen provides navigation, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth connectivity, and motorcycle information, while available PowerBand Audio delivers a powerful 600-watt sound system. The PowerPlus 112 models also feature advanced rider-assistance technology, including blind-spot warnings, rear collision warnings, bike hold control, electronically linked brakes, and lean-sensitive traction control and ABS.

| 440-Harley-Davidson Just Walked Away From King Of The Baggers... and I Need to Talk About It 😳 | 12 oct. 2026 | 01:42:02 | |
Harley-Davidson has officially announced it will end its factory racing program in MotoAmerica's King of the Baggers series following the 2026 season, and the news has sparked plenty of controversy throughout the motorcycle community. After six seasons of intense competition against Indian Motorcycle, Harley-Davidson is shifting its racing strategy toward the FIM Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup and new grassroots racing opportunities. Some fans are claiming Harley is walking away because Indian dominated the 2026 season, but is that really the case? The facts tell a different story. Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle each captured three championships over six seasons, and Harley actually announced its plans for the Bagger World Cup back in 2025, the same year it won the King of the Baggers championship. In this episode of the Law Abiding Biker Podcast, we break down Harley's decision, examine the history of King of the Baggers, and discuss why this move could represent a significant shift in the future of performance bagger racing. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREThe King of the Baggers series began as a single race at Laguna Seca in 2020 and quickly exploded into one of the most exciting forms of American motorcycle racing. What started with heavily modified Harley-Davidson and Indian touring motorcycles evolved into a fiercely competitive championship featuring race bikes producing more than 190 horsepower and reaching speeds exceeding 185 mph. Along the way, the competition helped drive innovation in performance motorcycle parts and inspired production models such as the Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST and Indian Challenger RR. Now, Harley-Davidson is focusing its factory racing efforts on the international Bagger World Cup, a spec racing series held during MotoGP weekends where competitors race identically prepared Harley-Davidson Road Glides. The format puts greater emphasis on rider skill, setup, and strategy while providing Harley-Davidson an opportunity to develop performance technology and Screamin' Eagle components for everyday riders. We discuss the potential benefits of racing on a global stage, the financial questions surrounding Harley's decision, and MotoAmerica's disappointment with the timing of the announcement. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!So, what happens to King of the Baggers in 2027 and beyond? Indian Motorcycle will remain the only factory-backed manufacturer, with championship riders Hayden Gillim and Troy Herfoss returning to defend their success. Privateer teams will still be able to compete on Harley-Davidson Road Glides and Indian Challengers, but the absence of Harley's factory team raises serious questions about the future competitiveness and popularity of the series. We also discuss what could be next for Harley-Davidson racers Kyle Wyman and Bradley Smith, whether the Bagger World Cup will continue growing internationally, and how this decision could affect the motorcycle aftermarket. While we're disappointed to see the legendary Harley-Davidson versus Indian factory rivalry come to an end, we believe there's much more to this story than the divisive reactions circulating online. Whether you ride a Harley, Indian, or another motorcycle, we're all part of the same biker community. Join us as we separate fact from speculation, share our predictions for the 2027 racing season, and ask the big question: Can King of the Baggers survive without Harley-Davidson's factory racing team?

| LAB-439-Behind the Scenes With Indian's Factory King of the Baggers Team at COTA | 01 oct. 2026 | 01:33:37 | |
In this episode, Ryan takes us behind the scenes of his trip to Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas, with Indian Motorcycle for an unforgettable weekend of MotoAmerica racing. Ryan shares what it was like experiencing the event as a guest of Indian Motorcycle, getting an up-close look at the factory racing operation, spending time around the Indian team, and watching some of the fastest bagger motorcycles in the world attack one of America's premier road-racing circuits. We talk about the overall COTA experience and what motorcycle racing looks and feels like when you're able to get closer to the teams, riders, and machines. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREOf course, the big story at COTA was the 2026 MotoAmerica Mission King of the Baggers Championship. Indian Motorcycle factory rider Hayden Gillim arrived in Texas with an opportunity to wrap up the title early, and that's exactly what happened. Gillim captured his eighth victory of the season in Race 1 aboard the Vance & Hines-built Indian Challenger, setting a new King of the Baggers single-season win record. A second-place finish in Race 2 was enough to clinch the 2026 championship with one round remaining. Gillim also made history by becoming the first rider to win King of the Baggers championships for two different manufacturers. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!From Ryan's firsthand experience with Indian Motorcycle at COTA to the factory rivalry between the Indian Challenger and Harley-Davidson Road Glide, we cover the people, motorcycles, racing, and stories that made the 2026 season one to remember. King of the Baggers continues to transform heavyweight American touring motorcycles into legitimate road-racing machines, and the competition between Indian Motorcycle, Harley-Davidson, Vance & Hines, Dynojet, and some of the world's best motorcycle racers keeps pushing the class forward. If you're a Harley or Indian rider, or simply love high-performance American V-twin motorcycles this episode gives you our perspective on the 2026 MotoAmerica King of the Baggers season and Ryan's inside look at racing at Circuit of the Americas.

| LAB-438-New Harley-Davidson Deadwood & Super Glide Releases for 2026 | 16 sept. 2026 | 01:12:48 | |
Harley-Davidson has added two very different, but distinctly old-school, motorcycles to its 2026 lineup with the new Deadwood and the return of the legendary Super Glide. Both bikes lean heavily into Harley-Davidson history while combining that styling with the modern Softail platform, Milwaukee-Eight power, selectable ride modes, and current rider-safety technology. The Deadwood is an entirely new name inspired by the stripped-down motorcycles and independent riders associated with the post-World War II era and the Black Hills, while the Super Glide brings back one of the most recognizable names in Harley history. In this episode of the Law Abiding Biker™ Podcast, we break down both motorcycles, what makes them unique, and where they fit in Harley-Davidson's evolving cruiser lineup. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREThe 2026 Harley-Davidson Deadwood may be the more interesting of the two because Harley has given it a personality unlike anything else currently in the cruiser lineup. Finished in Denim Black with orange tank graphics, the Deadwood is blacked out from the front end and controls to the engine, exhaust, and tank console. A solo tuck-and-roll seat, smoked chopped windshield, clean fenders, black tubeless laced wheels, and a shortened rear monoshock create its low, slammed appearance. Underneath the vintage-inspired styling is a Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic engine, five-gallon fuel tank, selectable ride modes, and Harley-Davidson Rider Safety Enhancements. Harley says the inspiration goes back to riders who stripped unnecessary parts from their motorcycles after World War II, while the Deadwood name and marketing tie the motorcycle directly to Sturgis and the Black Hills. U.S. MSRP starts at $17,999. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!The 2026 Super Glide, meanwhile, reaches even deeper into Harley-Davidson history. Fifty-five years after the original 1971 FX Super Glide helped establish the factory-custom concept, Harley has revived the name with a motorcycle designed to immediately remind riders of Willie G. Davidson's original creation. White Onyx Pearl paint, stretched vintage FX tank graphics with red-and-blue striping, extensive chrome, tubeless laced wheels, chrome mini-ape handlebars, mid controls, and a five-gallon teardrop tank deliver the retro look. Power comes from the Milwaukee-Eight 117 Classic, rated by Harley at 98 horsepower and 120 lb-ft of torque in the U.S. specification. Modern touches include selectable ride modes, rider safety enhancements, an adjustable front brake lever, and traditional-looking tank-mounted instrumentation backed by a multifunction LCD display. What really makes the Super Glide stand apart is its exclusivity. Harley-Davidson is producing just 2,500 individually serialized 2026 Super Glide motorcycles worldwide, with the model introduced as a Special Edition celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States. With a U.S. starting MSRP of $15,999, it is also positioned below the Deadwood despite its limited-production status. Together, these two motorcycles show Harley-Davidson taking a decidedly heritage-driven approach: the Deadwood creates a new model around the stripped-down attitude of post-war custom motorcycles and the Black Hills, while the Super Glide resurrects a name and styling cues that helped define factory customization more than half a century ago. On the podcast, we dig into both bikes and discuss whether this blend of Harley history and modern technology is the direction riders have been waiting for. NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED: Sponsor-Ciro 3D

| LAB-437-Harley Rider Shocked? Ryan's Honest First Impressions of the 2026 Indian Roadmaster Power Plus | 25 août 2026 | 01:26:45 | |
In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch and we talk about the 2026 Indian Roadmaster that was just added to the Law Abiding Biker stable. This isn't my first time in the saddle of an Indian. Long-time viewers of my YouTube Channel will remember I ran a Pursuit PowerPlus for about a year, followed by a loaned 2025 Indian Roadmaster PowerPlus last fall, a bike I still have on hand. Both of those were loaner relationships, which is exactly why this 2026 Roadmaster means something different: it's the first Indian Motorcycle that's actually mine. I've also attended multiple Indian Motorcycle press events to test ride and review other motorcycles and those are also on my YouTube Channel. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREI want to remind newer viewers what's always set Law Abiding Biker apart: I'm independent. I don't work for any motorcycle manufacturer — I work for myself and for you, the riding community. That means every video, including this one, comes with the same honest treatment: what I like right out of the box, and just as importantly, the small things that could be improved as I rack up miles. Owning this bike now, rather than borrowing it, means I can go further than ever — full customization, long-term testing, and an ongoing series of ride and review videos as the PowerPlus Dark Horse gets broken in.

| LAB436-Stop Guessing! How to Diagnose Your Motorcycle Battery & Charging System | 14 août 2026 | 01:16:19 | |
In this episode, we take the guesswork out of diagnosing a dead motorcycle battery and charging system with the OptiMate Cranking Power & Alternator Tester. Instead of paying a dealership to troubleshoot the problem or trying to remember how to use a multimeter, this purpose-built tool can test your battery and charging system in about 30 seconds using simple, color-coded indicators. We explain how the newest OptiMate tester works with both lead-acid and lithium batteries and why knowing your battery type matters. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREWe also break down how a motorcycle charging system actually works, including the stator, regulator/rectifier, and battery, before walking through the tester's three simple tests: OFF, START, and RUN. You'll learn what the voltage readings mean, how to determine whether your battery can handle the demands of starting the motorcycle, and how to identify potential charging-system problems such as a failing stator or regulator. We also discuss lithium batteries on newer Harley-Davidson models and share a real-world experience with a lithium battery failure on a 2024 Street Glide. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!Finally, we explain how to determine whether your problem is the battery, charging system, or potentially both, along with practical battery-maintenance tips to help extend battery life. We also discuss the Stealthport flush-mount battery tender connection and why keeping your motorcycle on a smart battery tender when it's sitting can help prevent unexpected failures. If you've ever wondered, "Is it my battery or my charging system?" this episode gives you a simple way to find out before you spend money at the dealership. NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED: Sponsor-Ciro 3D

| LAB-432-Ciro Lighting for 2024 & Newer Harley-Davidson Motorcycles: What You Need and How It All Works | 10 juin 2026 | 00:51:08 | |
In this episode we explain what is needed and what your options are for adding Ciro lighting to your 2024 and newer Harley-Davidson touring model with the new IFCU infotainment system. If you own a 2024 or newer Harley-Davidson touring motorcycle and you're looking to upgrade your rear lighting, it's important to understand how the Ciro lighting system works before you start buying parts. Harley's newer electrical architecture changed the game, and that means riders need to know which components are required, how the different products connect, and what options are available for basic or advanced functionality. We break down exactly how Ciro lighting for Harley-Davidson motorcycles works, what products are needed, and how to choose the right setup for your bike. We'll also highlight the individual Ciro products discussed in the video so you can easily link them to the Law Abiding Biker Store. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREThe 2024 and newer Harley-Davidson touring models introduced major changes to the bike's electrical system. Because of those updates, adding aftermarket lights is not as simple as it was on previous Harley-Davidson models. That is why riders need to understand the Ciro system before purchasing. The good news is that Ciro engineered a clean, plug-and-play style solution that works with these newer Harley touring bikes. Once you understand the system, it becomes much easier to plan your lighting build and choose the right components the first time. If you are adding Harley-Davidson rear lighting, improving visibility, cleaning up the rear of the bike, or building a custom look, this guide will help you avoid confusion and get the setup you actually want. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!The most important thing to understand is that your first Ciro lighting purchase determines how your system will function moving forward. When adding Ciro lights to a 2024+ Harley-Davidson touring bike, you generally need to choose between: That first decision matters because it determines whether you'll have only basic lighting functionality or full app-based customization and expandability. If you are building out a lighting package for your Harley, this is the foundation of the entire system. The Ciro Lightstrike Commander is the advanced option and is often the best choice for riders who want a more customizable setup. This component acts like the brain of the lighting system. It allows your Ciro lights to integrate with the bike while also unlocking the Ciro Lightstrike app. With the app, you can access more advanced functionality and customize supported lighting products individually. That means the Ciro Lightstrike Commander for Harley-Davidson gives you more than simple run, turn, and brake lighting. It opens up added control over supported lighting features, light behavior, and customization options depending on the products installed on your motorcycle. If you think you may add more Ciro products in the future, the Lightstrike Commander is a smart long-term investment because you only need to buy it once. NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED:
The Ciro Standard Adapter is the simpler route for riders who want straightforward lighting without app control or advanced programming and it comes standard within the lighting kits. If you choose the standard adapter, your supported Ciro lights will provide basic run, turn, and brake functionality. For many riders, that may be enough. If your goal is simply to add visibility and a cleaner rear lighting appearance on your Harley-Davidson, this option can work very well. However, it is important to understand what you are not getting. The standard adapter does not provide access to the app-based Lightstrike features. So if you want greater flexibility, deeper customization, or plan to build a more elaborate lighting system later, the Lightstrike New Patrons:
If you are trying to decide which Ciro components to buy, think about your long-term goals for the bike. If you only want basic run, turn, and brake lighting, then the Ciro Standard Adapter may be enough and it's included in the Ciro lighting kits. If you want app-based control, added customization, then the Ciro Lightstrike Commander is the better choice. If you want one of the easiest starting points, the Ciro Filler Panel Lights are especially appealing because they can work in a basic plug-and-play fashion while still allowing for future Lightstrike integration. That is why understanding the system first is so important. It helps you spend money once, buy the right parts, and build your Harley lighting system the way you actually want it.

In this episode we discuss motorcycle tires and tell you the best one, in our opinion. We have had the opportunity to test many. Lurch and I talk about the Harley-Davidson OEM Dunlop, Michelin Commander III, American Eagle (now referred to as AE2), and Metzeler CruiseTec (current OEM tire for Indian Motorcycle). Which one do we think is the best? Listen and find out. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREThe Metzeler CruiseTec motorcycle tire delivers a strong balance of grip, stability, and long-distance comfort for riders who want modern performance from a cruiser or touring tire. Designed for heavyweight V-twin motorcycles, the CruiseTec stands out with impressive wet-weather traction and confident cornering characteristics that many riders don't typically expect from a cruiser-focused tire. The dual-compound rear construction helps provide solid mileage while still maintaining excellent edge grip, making the tire feel planted during aggressive riding and smooth during highway touring. Riders often report noticeably improved handling response compared to older-generation cruiser tires, especially on bikes like Harley-Davidson touring models and Indian motorcycles. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!Another major strength of the CruiseTec is ride quality and predictability. The tire warms up quickly, tracks well through sweeping turns, and remains stable at freeway speeds even when carrying luggage or a passenger. Road feedback is confidence inspiring without feeling harsh, and the tread pattern does an effective job evacuating water in rainy conditions. While some riders may find that ultra-high-mileage touring tires last slightly longer, the CruiseTec generally earns praise for prioritizing performance and rider confidence without sacrificing durability. For motorcycle enthusiasts who want a tire that combines sporty handling with touring comfort, the Metzeler CruiseTec is widely considered one of the top choices in the V-twin tire category.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREMike Kennedy is a longtime motorcycle industry executive who became CEO of Indian Motorcycle following the brand's 2025 separation from Polaris Inc. and acquisition by private equity firm Carolwood LP. Kennedy brings more than 30 years of powersports experience to the role, including leadership positions as CEO of RumbleOn, CEO and President of Vance & Hines, and a 26-year career at Harley-Davidson.

| LAB-428-Throwaway Oil Filters vs. Reusable Serviceable Oil Filters for Harley-Davidson-Oil Filtration & Micron Talk | 29 avr. 2026 | 01:15:22 | |
In this episode, we tackle one of the hottest debates in the Harley-Davidson community: throwaway paper motorcycle oil filters versus reusable motorcycle oil filters. We break down the confusion surrounding micron ratings, nominal versus absolute filtration, and why comparing one filter's numbers to another without context can be misleading. Instead of getting lost in internet comment wars, this episode explains oil filtration in plain biker language so everyday riders can make smarter maintenance decisions with confidence. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREWe also take a close look at two of the most talked-about reusable options on the market: the Figurati and the PC Racing FLO oil filters. From stainless mesh filtration and cooling fins to magnetic debris capture and serviceable designs, we compare what each system brings to the table. We discuss why oil flow matters just as much as filtration, how overly restrictive filters can create problems, and why reusable filters have been trusted in racing and demanding applications for decades. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!Finally, we bust the common myth that aftermarket oil filters automatically void your Harley warranty, explaining what federal law and Harley's own warranty language actually say. We also explore the added benefits of inspectable filters, magnetic dipsticks, and building a complete contamination-control system for your motorcycle. Whether you're already running a reusable filter or just curious about making the switch, this episode gives you the facts you need—without the hype—so you can stop stressing over microns and get back to riding.

| LAB-427-Riding While Armed and Firearms Legal Protection with Partron Matt Haywood | 17 avr. 2026 | 01:44:06 | |
In this episode, Lurch and I are joined by Patreon Member Matt Haywood and we talk about Firearms Legal Protection. Being protected by a Firearms Legal Protection plan gives gun owners immediate access to experienced attorneys after a self-defense incident, which is one of the most critical moments to have professional guidance. Instead of scrambling to find legal help while under extreme stress, members can contact a 24/7 emergency hotline and be connected with a lawyer who understands self-defense law. This early legal support can help protect your rights during questioning, prevent costly mistakes, and ensure you navigate the legal system properly from the very beginning. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREAnother major benefit is financial protection against the high costs associated with criminal and civil defense. Legal cases involving firearms can quickly become expensive, with attorney fees, expert witnesses, investigations, and court costs adding up fast. A Firearms Legal Protection plan helps cover these expenses, reducing the financial burden on the member and their family. This allows individuals to focus on their defense and recovery rather than worrying about how to afford a potentially lengthy legal battle. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!Beyond legal and financial coverage, these plans also provide peace of mind and education. Members often gain access to training resources, legal insights, and guidance on responsible firearm ownership and use of force laws.

| LAB-426-2026 Harley Limited Review: Riding Into Daytona Bike Week | 09 avr. 2026 | 01:09:09 | |
In this episode, we talk about the 2026 Harley-Davidson Limiteds. Harley clearly put a lot of thought into rider and passenger comfort on the 2026 Limited. The redesigned heated seat is one of the first things you notice. It now comes standard with heating for both rider and passenger, and Harley wisely kept physical buttons on the bike for adjusting heat levels instead of burying those controls in menus. That matters in the real world. When it's cold outside, nobody wants to scroll through screens just to warm up. The heated grips are also standard and work very well. Like the seat, they heat up quickly and get legitimately warm on higher settings. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREThe taller windshield worked great for me at 5'8″, allowing me to look right over the top while still getting solid wind protection. Combined with the fairing vent, it did a good job reducing head buffeting. You also get lower fairings with storage and vents, plus fork-mounted air vents that can be adjusted while riding. I really appreciated that Harley made all of these easy to operate by feel without taking your eyes off the road. And yes—having highway pegs standard on a serious touring motorcycle is exactly the kind of thing riders want to see. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!The trunk on the 2026 Harley Limited has been redesigned, and I think Harley did a great job with it. It looks better, flows better with the bike, and has a slightly taller design without looking boxy or awkward. Most importantly, it can now fit two helmets inside, which is a huge win for real-world touring and passenger use. Harley didn't just make the trunk bigger for the sake of it. They clearly spent time reshaping it so it would remain sleek while becoming more functional. That said, the integrated brake and turn signal lighting inside the trunk does take up a bit of space, so compared to my detachable trunk setup there is slightly less usable room in certain areas. Even so, fitting two helmets is a meaningful improvement. NEW FREE VIDEOS RELEASED:

His career reflects a blend of operational strategy, sales network leadership, and brand stewardship in the motorcycle world.

| LAB-421-Classic Lines, Modern Power: Inside the 2026 Indian Chief Vintage | 11 févr. 2026 | 01:13:14 | |
In this podcast episode, we discus the newly released 2026 Indian Chief Vintage. The Chief Vintage leans hard into that classic 1940s-inspired styling with sweeping valanced fenders, wire wheels, wide bars, and that unmistakable Indian silhouette that screams heritage. It's got the nostalgic look riders love—lots of chrome, iconic badging, and vintage vibes—but this isn't some museum piece. It's built to be ridden. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREUnderneath that timeless styling, you've got the Thunderstroke 116 V-Twin, and that means torque for days.

| LAB-419-2026 Harley-Davidson Model Release: Chapter 2 | 21 janv. 2026 | 01:20:39 | |
Fresh off Harley-Davidson's Chapter 2 launch, the 2026 Harley-Davidson lineup brings far more substance than the polished reveal video suggests. The biggest win is clarity: all Grand American Touring models now share the redesigned fairings, eliminating past confusion between Limited and non-Limited bikes and simplifying aftermarket compatibility. Officially revealed models include updated Street Glide and Road Glide Limiteds, multiple CVO touring variants, new trikes, and the Pan America 1250 Limited—giving consumers a clearer, more cohesive range to shop from. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREThe Street Glide Limited emerges as a true factory-built Ultra-style tourer, complete with a redesigned batwing fairing, LED lower fairing lights, a new Grand Tour Pack with integrated lighting, taller windshield, and the Milwaukee-Eight 117 VVT motor. The Road Glide Limited mirrors this formula with shark-nose styling. Harley also deserves credit for finally treating chrome and black trim equally, offering the same color choices regardless of finish. In the CVO lineup, engines remain familiar (117 VVT for Limiteds, 121 VVT for CVOs), but styling steps up—especially with the long-awaited CVO Street Glide ST, a batwing performance bagger packed with race-inspired components and serious hardware. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!Beyond touring, Harley expanded its reach with the Pan America 1250 Limited, aimed squarely at long-distance adventure riders, and significantly improved trikes with dramatically increased rear suspension travel for better ride quality. Missing, however, are the Road King, Bronx, and any true entry-level model, while the Street Glide Ultra appears to be a one-year-only bike—creating opportunities for deals on remaining inventory. Add in the limited-run Liberty Edition models celebrating America's 250th anniversary, and the 2026 lineup stands as one of Harley-Davidson's strongest, most focused releases in years, balancing refinement, performance, and clearer choices for buyers.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!The Kraus EZ‑Shift of M8 and Twin Cam motors is a popular aftermarket shift assist for Harley-Davidson motorcycles designed to improve the feel and ease of gear changes. It works by altering the shift linkage's leverage ratio so that finding neutral — especially from a stop — becomes much easier and more positive, which can reduce clutch wear by allowing riders to drop into neutral quickly and release the clutch instead of dragging it at lights. Made in the USA from high-quality billet aluminum, the device bolts on in just a few minutes and is compatible with both stock and many aftermarket shift levers. Riders report smoother, more confident shifts across all gears, with up to about 20% less effort required compared to stock linkage feel. NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED:
The Stealthport Motorcycle Battery Charging & Accessory Port and related Stealthport adapters are aftermarket solutions for Harley-Davidson riders who want a clean, factory-style connection point for charging their bike's battery or powering accessories without dealing with the standard dangling SAE pigtail. Instead of fumbling with the loose cable under the bike, a Stealthport install mounts a low-profile port in a convenient location on the frame or bodywork, using existing threaded holes on many Softail, Touring, and other Harley models. Once installed, the port connects to your bike's OEM battery tender lead, giving you a weather-protected, easily accessible charging point that can also be used for heated gear or other 12 V accessories — all while keeping the look tidy and integrated. Installation is typically straightforward and reversible, and multiple mounting options let you choose how hidden or accessible you want the port to be. Sponsor-Ciro 3D

Ken is a Senior Product Designer at Ciro and he just happens to also be a Patreon supporter of Law Abiding Biker. Ken, along with Ciro and other motorcycle parts innovators and creators are being ripped off. Overseas companies that do not respect patents are recreating inferior version of the hard work others put in. Knockoff motorcycle products may look like a bargain up front, but they come with some serious downsides that riders often don't realize until it's too late. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE1. Lower Quality Materials Knockoffs typically use cheaper metals, plastics, and electronics. That means parts can crack, fade, corrode, or fail much faster than name-brand components. 2. Poor Fitment & Compatibility These products often aren't engineered to OEM tolerances. Expect problems like:
3. Reduced Safety
4. No Warranty, Support, or Testing Reputable motorcycle brands invest in R&D, testing, and customer support. Knockoffs typically offer:
5. Shorter Lifespan (Costing More Over Time) Cheap parts often wear out quickly, so riders end up replacing them multiple times. The "savings" disappear fast. 6. Potential Damage to Your Bike
Saving $50 on a part can cause hundreds in damage. 7. Resale & Reliability Hit Buyers can spot cheap accessories. Knockoffs on a bike can:
8. Ethical & Legal Issues Many knockoffs:

Bottom Line Knockoff motorcycle parts may save money up front, but the risks—in safety, reliability, and long-term cost—usually make them a bad investment.

| LAB-414-2026 Harley Lineup Announced — But the Real News Comes in January! | 19 nov. 2025 | 01:19:57 | |
Harley-Davidson has officially opened the curtain on its 2026 model lineup with Chapter 1 of the "Inside the 2026 Harley-Davidson Lineup" series on YouTube, confirming that Chapter 2 will land on January 14, 2026. As expected, this first drop focuses on early releases and teases, not sweeping platform changes. That's because 2026 is what the industry calls a cyclic year — a period centered on refinement, added colorways, and incremental updates rather than ground-up redesigns. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREWith the massive touring overhaul of 2024 still fresh, Harley is clearly in refinement mode. The 2026 Street Glide and Road Glide are already live with new paint and options, while cruisers, sport models, and the Pan America lineup return structurally unchanged aside from updated colors. The big news is what Harley didn't fully reveal: covered teaser shots for returning "Limited" touring trims, multiple new CVO variants, updated trikes that finally appear to be getting the modern fairing designs, and a potential Pan America 1250 Limited. Meanwhile, heavily rumored models like the "Sprint" retro and Bronx streetfighter remain absent from the official lineup. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!All eyes now turn to January 14, where Harley-Davidson promises the remainder of the 2026 updates — including the full CVO lineup, revised touring trims, refreshed trike models, and possibly a fully equipped Pan America. While this year is a classic color-and-carryover cycle, it sets the stage for key refinements across Harley's core platforms. Riders can expect a polished continuation of the 2024-era redesign, with the brand tightening its model structure and preparing for the next major evolution later in the decade.

| LAB-413-Indian's 2026 Lineup Revealed: The Sport Scout RT Arrives! | 11 nov. 2025 | 01:03:32 | |
Indian Motorcycle has officially unveiled its 2026 lineup, marking what the industry calls a "cyclic year" — a season of refinements rather than revolutions. The big story is the debut of the Sport Scout RT, a bold new addition to the Scout family that bridges the gap between performance cruiser and light sport-tourer. With its 1250cc liquid-cooled engine producing 105 horsepower, moto-style bars, 19-inch front wheel, and locking hard bags, the Sport Scout RT delivers both aggression and practicality. Starting at $16,999 and available in Black Smoke, Sunset Red Metallic, and Chalk, it's the most performance-oriented Scout yet. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREBeyond the new model, Indian's 2026 range sees fresh paint, updated graphics, and new accessories across its Scout, Chief, and Touring lines. The PowerPlus baggers and tourers continue largely unchanged, aside from color updates and new accessory options like handlebars, seats, luggage liners, and audio upgrades. While Indian continues to appeal to younger riders with modern tech and styling, the brand still lacks a truly low-cost entry model—a gap that could become crucial as the next generation of riders leans toward $6K–$8K machines. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!Overall, Indian's 2026 strategy focuses on refinement and appeal rather than reinvention. The Sport Scout RT is a standout move that adds excitement to the lineup, offering a stylish and capable option for riders who want performance without sacrificing comfort. As Indian and Harley-Davidson continue to battle for market share and younger customers, competition is fueling innovation—and that's great news for riders. NEW FREE VIDEOS RELEASED:

| LAB-411-Polaris Sells Indian Motorcycles — Strategic Move or Sign of Trouble? | 21 oct. 2025 | 01:30:34 | |
In this podcast episode, I'm joined by Lurch and Patreon Member (and Indian Motorcycle rider) Anthony Peters. We talk about the big announcement that Polaris sold off it's majority ownership of Indian Motorcycles. In one of the biggest shake-ups the motorcycle world has seen in years, Polaris has announced that it's selling a majority stake in Indian Motorcycle to the private equity firm Carolwood LP. This move has many riders and industry insiders asking the same question — is Indian Motorcycle in trouble, or are they gearing up for something big? It's a bold, unexpected shift that could either ignite new growth or put the brand in a risky position. Let's take a closer look at what's really happening and why it matters. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREAccording to Polaris, this separation will allow both companies to focus more strategically on what they do best. For Polaris, that means doubling down on its most profitable segments: off-road vehicles, snowmobiles, and boats. Indian Motorcycle only accounts for about 7% of Polaris' total annual revenue — roughly $478 million. By selling Indian, Polaris expects to increase annual earnings by $50 million and boost earnings per share by $1.00, which is a solid short-term win for shareholders. For Indian, this could mean more freedom to innovate and make faster decisions without having to compete for corporate attention within Polaris' massive portfolio.

Indian has pushed Harley to improve their bikes, tech, and customer experience — and vice versa. If one of these brands fails, the other risks getting complacent. We need both Indian Motorcycle and Harley-Davidson to succeed because their rivalry drives progress, creativity, and the kind of passion that fuels the entire riding community.

| LAB-410-Harley-Davidson's New CEO | What is the New Direction of Harley? | 13 oct. 2025 | 01:25:08 | |
After steering Harley-Davidson through a turbulent five-year transformation, CEO Jochen Zeitz has stepped aside, making way for newcomer Artie Starrs. While Harley calls Zeitz's departure a planned retirement, many point to mounting pressure from activist investors like H Partners and a disappointing second quarter as catalysts for change. Zeitz will remain on as senior advisor through early 2026, leaving behind a legacy defined by his Hardwire strategy—streamlining operations, spinning off LiveWire, and focusing the brand on profitability over volume. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREStarrs, known for his leadership at Topgolf and Pizza Hut, represents a cultural shift for the 121-year-old motorcycle brand. Though new to the motorcycle industry, he's already taken steps to win over skeptics—purchasing a Heritage Classic and enrolling in a rider course. His focus appears to be revitalizing Harley's retail and dealer experience, improving financial flexibility through strategic moves like the HDFS loan sale to KKR and PIMCO, and reintroducing more accessible models to attract younger riders.

In this article, we'll introduce you to a game-changing upgrade: the Mueller Power Clutch 2.0. We'll also walk you through the key elements involved in upgrading your cable clutch system without getting bogged down in every bolt turn. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREIf you're riding an '18 and newer Softail or '21 and newer Touring model, chances are your clutch cable includes a cheap plastic inline adjuster.

Wearing protective motorcycle riding jeans is one of the smartest things you can do for your safety and comfort on the road. Here's why: 1. Abrasion Resistance Regular denim shreds in seconds during a slide. Motorcycle riding jeans are reinforced with abrasion-resistant materials like Kevlar®, Dyneema®, or Aramid fibers that can withstand a crash at high speeds—helping protect your skin from painful and serious road rash. 2. Impact Protection Many motorcycle riding jeans come with CE-rated armor in the knees and hips, which helps absorb and distribute the force of impacts, reducing the risk of broken bones or bruising during a crash.

| LAB-401-Make Your Harley Clutch Great Again: Ultimate Cable Clutch | 11 juin 2025 | 00:53:28 | |
In 2021, Harley-Davidson made the controversial switch from their robust hydraulic clutch system to the antiquated cable clutch system. As a police motorcycle officer and instructor, I can confidently say that the hydraulic system was superior in terms of consistency, reliability, and ease of use. However, if you're stuck with a cable clutch system on your Harley, don't worry—there are ways to make it great again. We walk you through everything you need to know about upgrading your cable clutch system with high-quality Fat Baggers & PSR Lever components, ensuring better control, comfort, and overall riding experience. All the products discussed are available in the Law Abiding Biker™ store, along with detailed installation videos to guide you through the process. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREThe stock clutch system on a Harley-Davidson is designed to accommodate a broad range of riders. However, it's not tailored for individual preferences, which can hinder optimal control and comfort. One major flaw of the stock cable clutch system is its plastic adjuster, prone to breaking and leaving riders stranded. Additionally, it lacks the ability for fine-tuning the clutch lever's friction zone, which is critical for precise motorcycle control. Upgrading to metal components and adding adjustability not only enhances durability but also allows you to customize the clutch system to your specific needs. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! 1. Start with the Fat Baggers Easy Clutch AdjusterThe first step is replacing the stock plastic adjuster with the Fat Baggers Easy Clutch Adjuster. This metal piece allows for precise adjustments, enabling you to position the clutch lever's friction zone exactly where you want it. Installation is straightforward and can be done in your garage with basic tools. 2. Upgrade to the Aluminum Clutch Cable HousingThe next enhancement involves replacing the bottom plastic housing with a durable Fat Baggers aluminum one. This not only removes another weak plastic component but also improves the overall aesthetics and functionality of your clutch system. 3. Install the Upper Clutch Cable with Built-in AdjusterFor ultimate convenience, consider installing the Fat Baggers Upper Clutch Cable with an integrated adjuster near the clutch lever. This allows you to make adjustments while seated on the bike, eliminating the need to dismount repeatedly. This cable is available in black or braided finishes for a custom look. 4. Enhance with PSR Adjustable LeversFinally, take your customization to the next level with PSR Adjustable Levers. These levers offer unparalleled adjustability and a sleek design, ensuring maximum comfort and control. With options for length, angle, and detailed customization, they're a must-have addition.

| LAB-397-Motorcycle Battery Jump Starters- Indian Sales Down & Tariffs on Harley | 23 avr. 2025 | 01:21:13 | |
In this podcast episode we discuss several topics. Indian Motorcycle sales were down for the forth quarter of 2024, Harley-Davidson dealing with tariffs, and motorcycle jump starters. Indian Motorcycles, founded in 1901, is one of America's oldest and most iconic motorcycle brands. After dominating the market in the early 20th century with models like the Scout and Chief, the company struggled and ultimately ceased operations in 1953. Over the next five decades, several revival attempts failed until Polaris Industries acquired the brand in 2011. Polaris successfully relaunched Indian, preserving its heritage while expanding with modern designs and a broad lineup of seven motorcycle families. The introduction of the FTR1200 in 2019 marked its only major innovation in recent years. The brand reestablished itself as a serious rival to Harley-Davidson, especially in the North American market, where it achieved record sales of 43,219 units in 2022. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STOREHowever, Indian's resurgence has hit a plateau. Sales have declined since 2022, with global registrations dropping to around 37,000 units annually. In 2024, the downturn steepened, with an overall decline of 12.4% through August, including a 15% dip in the U.S. and 9.9% in Europe. The brand's heavy reliance on the maturing U.S. market, which accounts for 64% of its business, and a lack of consistent product innovation, are seen as key factors in its recent struggles. Despite its rich legacy and strong branding, Indian faces challenges in sustaining momentum without broader international expansion and a more aggressive approach to new model development. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!With President-elect Donald Trump suggesting a 25% tariff on goods from countries like Mexico, Canada, and China, concerns are rising about how such measures might impact American companies—Harley-Davidson being a prime example. During Trump's first term, Harley was caught in a trade war between the U.S. and the EU, leading to potential tariffs as high as 56%, which the company estimated would cost over $200 million annually. Though it initially avoided these tariffs by exporting from its Thailand plant, recent EU rulings have closed that loophole. With Harley-Davidson's international operations accounting for nearly 40% of its motorcycle sales—particularly in Europe and Asia—new tariffs or retaliation from other countries could severely affect its bottom line. Beyond international trade tensions, there's now speculation about the U.S. imposing tariffs on Harley's own Thai-built bikes being sold domestically for the first time—an unprecedented move that could reignite past threats. While some voices continue to dramatize Harley's situation, citing minor downturns as existential threats, the company remains profitable, recently reporting a $119 million quarterly profit. Still, its visibility as an iconic American brand makes it a convenient target in trade disputes. As global politics shift, Harley-Davidson must navigate both economic realities and its symbolic status, balancing manufacturing strategies and diplomatic crossfire.
