Law Abiding Biker | Street Biker Motorcycle Podcast

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.

The 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.

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.

In this podcast episode, I'm joined by Lurch and we discuss the Kraus EZ Shift and the Stealthport Motorcycle Battery and Accessory Port for Harley-Davidson. These two seemingly small and simple items result in big benefits when installed on your Harley-Davidson motorcycle. So, strap in and tune in as we talk about how these two items improved our riding enjoyment. We don't just sell items in our store. We test and review them.

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.

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.

In this podcast we discuss the all-new 2026 Harley-Davidson Police Road Glide. I was invited to Florida by Harley-Davidson to test ride and review the Police Road Glide. If you're a motor officer, a fleet manager, or simply curious about what makes the Police Road Glide different from its civilian counterpart, you're in the right place. We breaks down every feature, upgrade, and engineering decision Harley made for this brand-new police model.

For decades, the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide dominated police fleets across the country. The batwing fairing became an iconic symbol of American law enforcement. But the landscape began shifting with the explosive popularity of the Mission King of the Baggers race series. Harley invested heavily into R&D from that racing platform, and we've seen that tech filtering into production bikes for years.

For motors officers: This bike will make your job easier.

The 2025 NVP Product Expo, hosted by Drag Specialties (in partnership with Parts Unlimited), took place at the Baird Center in Milwaukee on September 6–7.

The NVP isn't just a trade show — it functions as a showcase of the latest aftermarket products and accessories for powersports enthusiasts and dealers. Attendees got a first look at new offerings from some of the biggest names in the industry, with the expo floor doubling as a hands-on venue for vendor–dealer interaction, product demonstrations, and dealer-training sessions

Beyond business, the 2025 NVP also emphasized community and culture. The schedule included a bike show — featuring builds across vintage, metric and V-twin classes — a meet-and-greet with key industry figures, and additional perks like show discounts, dealer incentives, Sunday giveaways, and a "bagger bike build-off." All told, the NVP delivered value, excitement, and connection for dealers and enthusiasts alike.

Lurch and I are joined by Ken Madden from Ciro and we talk about counterfeit and knock off motorcycle products. 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 STORE

1. 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:

• Misaligned holes
• Rattling or vibrating
• Parts that require modification to fit
• Components that interfere with other accessories

3. Reduced Safety

• This is the biggest risk. Knockoff:
• Helmets may not meet DOT/ECE standards
• Brake parts may not withstand heat
• Lighting may fail or deliver low visibility
• Structural parts can break under stress
• A small failure at 70 mph can become a major problem.

4. No Warranty, Support, or Testing

Reputable motorcycle brands invest in R&D, testing, and customer support. Knockoffs typically offer:

1. No meaningful warranty
2. No replacement parts
3. No safety testing
4. No customer service
5. Once it fails, you're on your own

CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!

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

• Poorly made accessories can:
• Stress mounting points
• Scratch paint
• Cause electrical issues
• Throw off suspension or geometry

Saving $50 on a part can cause hundreds in damage.

7. Resale & Reliability Hit

Buyers can spot cheap accessories. Knockoffs on a bike can:

• Lower resale value
• Make the bike look poorly maintained
• Raise concerns about what other shortcuts were taken

8. Ethical & Legal Issues

Many knockoffs:

• Copy patented designs
• Copy brand logos
• Are made in unregulated factories
• Hurt legitimate manufacturers

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. Quality aftermarket or OEM parts nearly always pay off in durability and peace of mind.

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 STORE

With 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.

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.

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 STORE

Beyond 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.

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.

In this podcast episode, Lurch and I are joined by Popeye. He rode down from the Wenatchee, WA area. At the Law Abiding Biker™ Store, we're not just selling motorcycle gear—we're real bikers testing these products out on the road so you know they'll hold up when it matters most. On a recent 11-day, 3,800+ mile trip through Canada, we rode in scorching heat, bone-chilling cold, and four straight days of rain. We talk about the exact gear that kept us safe, comfortable, and moving forward.
