I have a 2020 Lowrider S. Love my bike! Put 12” t bars on it. Thunderheader 2-1, and a 122 kit! Lady has got some ZIP and sounds and feels incredible. Great video!
Thank you for these reviews. I am looking at adding a cruiser to my garage and these help a great deal.
Haha I remember the ol' VCRs blinking 12:00. Thanks Jerry I feel old now hehehe
Damn. I was just in Daytona but had to come back to the snow of Illinois this week. Woulda liked to meet ya. I used your set of videos to drill in a parking lot near my house constantly when I first started riding. Very grateful for what I learned from ya. 👍🏽
Thank you for another great review sir. I just got the same bike and was concerned about the “lack of the rear brake pressure”. Use to having forward controls so this was an adjustment on the mids, but I am 5’10” and it’s somewhat comfortable. Not happy on positioning/location of shift lever. Hoping to resolve that when I take her in the get my Bassani road rage 2 in 1 exhaust put on soon. I’d recommend that HD start taking the time to invest in safety functions such as lighting. Yes, the single halo main headlight is great, but I swapped out the amber turn signals and brake ones with LED’s. Ones in rear have red lens caps and work in conjunction with the main rear tail light now as well. Other than everything I’ve mentioned, the bike is fantastic and the torque is unbelievable!
When you were getting on it, it almost sounded like a Harley!! I haven't heard a stock exhaust in a while I guess. Cool ride
Nice review. For a second I thought you were about to level up from Motorman to Wheelie King.
Jerry,
Beautiful bike, Harley will sell a bunch! I agree with the other guy, Im a chrome and black guy, I have a 2019 base model low rider in chrome and black, I think its one of the most beautiful bikes out there, I get so many compliments on it. I was really hoping Harley was going to bring a 2022 chrome S version out, I was planning on buying it on the spot. The salesman at my Harley dealer don’t understand why Harley dont have a chrome version he gets so many request for chrome.
I have a 2020 Softail Standard. The rear brake wasn’t performing at all. I adjusted the pedal height. It didn’t help much. I went to my dealership and they bled the rear brake. It made all the difference in the world. I don’t have or want ABS and I can lock the rear brake easily on purpose. Works for me.
I have an Indian Chief Darkhorse and I love it. But Harley makes some fine looking bikes, this one included.
Gonna try to check one out tomorrow.
Love your channel. Let’s know if the speedo gauge fogs up like many Harley-Davidson’s.
Picked one up yesterday in Gunship Grey. I did have to give more than MSRP which I think is ridiculous but I wanted it and they gave me a decent trade in so I got it. Plenty fast even holding it to 3500 rpm
Nice video Jerry. Just my opinion but I think the front tire looks a bit narrow 100??? I have a deluxe and like a thicker front tire. Too, would you please explain “trail.” Thanks Ron
Love your content Jerry, one of the few people that I trust your opinion, hope to see alot more future content! LOL I always wonder why people turn and nearly need 2 lanes to make a turn it bothers me to this day.
I appreciate that!
I want the ST version of this.
Mine in onboard, on the way to Europa. I am expecting it for the end of april... Cross fingers ! It looks just fantastic. Do you plan to come in France one day ? Thanks for the video !
I’m. 6ft 2 is it difficult to use the rear break or is it easy to use? With it having mid controls
Shes sweet!! Great review I just got a Road King, but after I saw this Low Rider S , I realize if I had money , ID BE DANGEROUS!! LOL!!
Very nice review!!
Do you have any issues with helmet buffeting on the low rider s? I get some major buffeting issues on my 22 at higher speeds.
Literally my dream bike
These ST’s are going for over MSRP here in DFW area of North Texas, getting $5k over MSRP. Adam’s HD and their 6 stores. They said they think the whole country is selling them at over MSRP. I understand supply and demand creating pricing spikes but MSRP should be enough to cover the bills. Consider accessories adds, shop time and loan interest profits. It truly becomes a beautiful thing. It’s Harley Davidson, and besides all the Hedge Fund managers, Attorneys and Accountants gotta ride to. But I digress. Oh yes. The bike is very sweet.
Yeah unfortunately they only manufactured 300-ish STs for the entire nation of H-D dealerships. Basically one for each dealership. Probably to gauge demand but all it’s served to do is enable predatory sales practices. Come on Harley! You should know better!
@@FuzzNiner
100% Fuzz.
Things must work differently in the States. If a UK H-D dealer tried to sell a new bike for more than the MSRP (we call it RRP Recommended Retail Price over here) they'd have their bollocks cut off 😁
Beautiful Harley, I'm still a fan of the Chrome look, don't get me wrong the black on black looks okay , but there's nothing like that nice shiny Chrome on a Harley Davidson
have to admit, brilliant marketing to get people to pay more for black paint than for chrome. I'll take the chrome any day. If I want something that looks like black plastic I can get a honda
Agreed
Chrome 🤮
It’s great until ya’ll go to the carwash. I have a denim black I wash and dry 5 min while my chrome buddies spend a good time polishing them chrome l can finish a meal after washing and they still go wax on wax off lol
@@fatboyroy6081 I use a waterless solution I urge you to as well your bike will thank you , I love washing my bike and cleaning it to be honest with you...lol
Great review Jerry, thanks for mentioning the rear brake. How's the brake on the new Street Bob ?
It was the same. I sold that Street Bob though.
nice ride !
Just traded my 2018 Fat Bob FXFBS in for a 2022 Low Rider S. It's at the dealer getting a Stage III and Bassani Sweepers exhaust. Can't wait to pick it up & get out there. The LRS is such a classic looking bike, every time one would pass me by I'd have to do a double take, so finally decided it was time to trade in my Bob for it.
Just got me 2020 Lowrider S back with the 122 kit…. Man! She goes like a rocket and sounds incredible with the 2-1 thunderheader. 12” t bars too bc stock the bars are so low Enjoy when you get her back!
I have the radial sweepers. They sound great.
How you liking the bike? Been thinking of trading my 17 fatbob in on something
@@ziegaubrey1643 - I love it. I feel more secure on it with the mid-mount pegs. I put more miles on this bike just this summer than my 3 year old Fat Bob had in total. I really enjoy riding it, it's a very fun bike.
@@TalismanRocks really? At 6'1 I felt the low rider S was extremely uncomfortable with the mid controls. They'd have to go for sure.
I'm trying to decide between every S and ST Harley makes and riding a 2021 114 lowrider S and a 2022 117 lowrider ST back to back the 117 pulls like a damn tractor uphill in 4th gear at 30mph with zero complaints
Get the S and look at some Leather Pro bags,the HD bags on the ST are loose for some reason. HD makes a great looking and sporty front fairing that's in between the one that comes on the S and ST,size wise.Still have some dollars leftover for LED'S and cruise control.
I heard you say something about the "R" when talking about the gauges. I found out today what it means lol "Its for reserve for the fuel"
Range to empty and it's not very accurate
You mentioned engine heat, do you run a 50 or 60 weight oil in Florida?
50
Does this have a cruise control?
Speaking of forward controls...how about heavy breather air cleaner? Is it room for legs?
I had no problem with it.
Love the Low rider. However, I chose the fat bob for the taller rear and forward controls.
Had a fat bob. Currently own a low rider s.
I don’t think either is a bad choice.
Just picked one up the other day I agree the shifter was way too high. Easy adjustment for sure.
I haven't found the sweet spot yet, the next spline will bring it slightly too low for my HD boots. Sneaker should be fine.
Low Rider gauges should be on the tank. This is no longer a "Low Rider." It's a Super Glide. Harley needs to rename it.
SuperGlide is ok with me! Both are cool.
Great review, I hope you get the opportunity to review the new 2022 Indian Pursuit.
Hey Motorman, what’s the name of that custom seat company you did a video on?
diamondseats.com/
@@motorman857 👍🏽
Would you recommend this bike for someone who is 6'2?
Yes. But I'd suggest forward controls.
I wonder how much quicker the 2022 lowrider S really is vs the 20 & 21 ??
My seat of the pants dyno. Can’t tell the difference between any of the M8 motors.
Ok, well slightly tell the difference but it wouldn’t be a deal breaker or a selling point to “upgrade” to any of the bigger motors.
Better off getting whichever bike you like. Take whatever engine they aren’t charging markups for and throw in a cam.
Is it any different from last year model
Well yes. Watch the video and you'll see all the differences.
Destination Daytona is a large venue. This will be like "Where's Waldo" but with "Jerry" . I'm gonna see if I can find him.😆
I'll be the guy walking around with a huge Ride Like A Pro logo on the back of my black shirt. Warning though, I appear taller, younger, and thinner in person. At least, that's what you'll say if you want some free swag.
Wow, found Jerry very easily. Thanks for the swag. Pleasure to meet you.
Would you recommend this bike for a 5’0” woman?
You can ride on the back of my StreetGlide.
I’m considering trading in my Sportster… I made the choice to buy a Sportster because I hadn’t ridden for 30 years.. Even though I had ridden in the past.. I considered myself a beginner.. but after 600 miles..I feel like the Sportster is not enough.. I wish I bought something else in the beginning.. but I’m getting msrp at trade in.. so I’m seriously considering lowrider s or st. Or a fat Bob. It’s a tough decision…
that baby is a looker, and i may have fell over trying to do some of the stuff i saw on your videos today but i learned to not do that at least. lol
Can the mono shock be adjusted?
You should watch the video. If I was having a pop quiz, you'd fail for sure.😂
@@motorman857 sir i did watch the entire video. I was shocked when you said you could because I thought only the fat bob you could.
@@mikeessary4925 the shock is adjustable on every Softail. Some models - Sport Glide, Fat Bob, FXDR, Breakout, and Fat Boy have the external adjustment on the right side. Others - Softail Standard, Street Bob, Softail Slim, Low Rider, Low Rider S, Deluxe and Heritage Classic have the adjustment under the seat. You’ll need a tool to adjust the shock on these models, but the tool is included with the bike. Hope this helps 🙂
@@thedakotahurley it does help! Thank you for the explanation Dakota
I'm so torn between this and the indian chief bobber for my next bike
I don't think there's any comparison. Do you want the genuine item, or a cheaper knock off? Then when it comes time to sell or trade, Indians resale value is not nearly what Harley Davidsons is. Then there's the after market support and the huge dealer network H.D. has. There are plenty of Chief Bobbers laying around at dealers. Finding a Low Rider S can be challenging. There's a reason for that.
@@motorman857 Thanks Jerry, I appreciate your opinion! I will keep that in mind come next spring!
114 is 100hp 119lbft. 117 is 106hp 127lbft at the crank.
Cycle World's dyno test showed 83.03 hp @ 4,890 rpm and 113.32 lb.-ft. @ 2,500 on a stock 114 motor. Which is why I state in the video HP and TQ numbers vary depending on the dyno.
@@motorman857 yes those are at the rear wheel. the numbers i posted are at the crank for both motors.
Damn! That Bike must haul ass! Under 700lbs. with that 117CI. 😃😃😃😃😃 That`s alot of smiling! 😅😎
Yeah it's pretty ballsy!
I thought it was designated as a Low Rider ST
Well you thought wrong. If I had a pop quiz, you'd fail.😁The ST is the model with a fairing and hard bags.
R - Fuel range in miles
Need to clean up the console on the tank. Get rid of the screw head and the ugly badge.
Sorry....but I as much as I love the nostalgia of bringing this back, I think that this version is pretty "cheezy" . Too much cheap plastic pieces.....and.....I will never get excited about the one gas cap thing. Harleys.....have 2 gas caps. One of the things that make them unique.
An inch means a lot....🤣🤣
That's what she said
@@byzantine1107 well... at this time a lot of HEs are saying that...
@@mensuddevic8983 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m wrong 😑
Sounds like my John Deere.
I think that’s an ST
the LowRider ST has a big frame mounted fairing, most other things are the same as this bike
Sounds like a Yamaha
Why is there such a CULT for HD?
So many other really nice and superior bikes out there, and better pricing as well.
Sheep will be sheep I suppose 🤷♂️
Hater
@@clankelt Not at all, thanks for assuming tho 🤦♂️
I have rode and been to many HD events, and have nothing against HD, but was simply stating a fact.
However your response was very typical of a cultist to say the least 😁
I love my 22 Low Rider S.
The Fat Bob is freakish appearance wise. My black 2022 Lowrider S still has the iconic Lowrider look that myself and so many love. FYI I'M 6'1" and 220,the bike will carry the front wheel through 3rd gear no problem. Modification is nothing more than a set of Rinehart slip-ons at this time.👍
