Good to know the shifting issue it was a simple fix. Amazing how a little vinyl transforms the look of the bike. Great videos.
I love the beard and the bike, especially the black on the bike. 👍
good to hear that the problem was fixed, keen on seeing the next video
@gooface thanks man. Next video will be out in a few days.
Rock on 🤘🏻 glad to hear your ride is running well.
Great video..
I am on doing the brass collection for the derby covers, pegs and shifters.
already have the smoked lens
Hey, my Nickname is Didi, 52 years old and I come from Germany and I like to watch your videos. I have the same Street Bob 2019 Black 560 km Dr.Jekill and Mr Hide Exhaust. I hope to see more viedeos from you. Always goog Drive
Hey Didi thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Certainly will be doing plenty more videos on mods to the bike, Ride safe mate 🤙
That was simple and changed the whole look
💯 All the mods that every Street bob owner should do. Thanks mate. Subbed 👍
Looks way better! Can’t wait to see what exhaust you pick
Have a look on my channel mate, I've done loads of mods including the exhaust since this video 👍
like the street bob if I get one ill leave it stock and be the stand out in the crowd no dought lol cheers enjoy your ride
Glad it was something simple and not a big deal.
Nice upgrades
@Dan 599 thanks man, yeah I was pretty concerned based on other people having the same issue, thankfully was an easy fix 😁👍
I like all the mods but the vinyl wraps..I like a little chrome showing..but it does look clean tho..nice ride!
Cheers mate 👍
small mods , big impact for sure! looks good! is there anywhere specific you bought that vinyl or any specific kind you need?
@Kyle Kuball I just purchased exterior car vinyl off Ebay, only bought a meter of it which was pretty cheap.
The chrome derby cover is to ensure an extra 50 bucks out of you. First thing I changed on mine as well :-)
Was just looking through mods for my fxbb and stumbled on your good self, excellent ideas bruv I'm straight on it. Parts ordered and on there merry way , just wanted to say cheers and appreciate it, well in 👍🏻
Thanks brother, very quick and easy mods 👍
Good job. The vinyl on the forks really looks good. I prefer the chrome look. So I would have changed the primary cover instead and the cam cover and transmission cover. I agree with you that the derby cover should have not been chrome if the primary is black. Do one color or the other. It's just a way for Harley to put another tax on us.
Those quick mods made a big difference! Cool street Bob r u gonna switch out those bars??
@Gabriel Montana cheers man. Yep I'm definantly going to change the bars. I'm a big fan of Drag bars, thinking about getting the lucky Dave's san diego bars.
For the derby cover did you use a gasket? Or straight bolt on ? Asking mine came with nothing but derby cover my last one came with gasket but the fin derby 😪
I asked harley about the gasket and they sent me one for the twin cam engine which doesnt work. I just used the stock rubber underneath the derby cover. No issues with leaks mate.
Your dog is so cute
Haha thanks man
Clutch cable should never be out of adjustment, its spring loaded self adjusting on these bikes. The mechanism behind the derby cover was probably out of adjustment, a failing by them. They dont use thin oil to run them in they use regular stuff. Pedal height would have been set by them too!
Great video. Just signed the papers on my used 2019. Fortunately the previous owner had changed the derby cover. Thanks to your video I will be ordering that flush mount cap and blacking out the upper fork tubes. Did you change your turn signal bulbs to orange when you replaced the lenses? Your bike looks much cleaner after these small changes.
Nice one man. Its a great bike. In this video I didn't change the bulbs out but I ended up doing that down the track with amber globes. I then changed the bulbs to led underperformed indicators which I did a video of on my channel 🤟
Rogue Rider Industries makes really good LED turn signals
@Road Rash yeah man I'll definantly get front and rear L.E.D turn signals. Just kept those blinkers lenses from my softail slim S.
I know this is an old video, however, a tip; if you put the affiliate link of the items you purchased you get some money for the items you helped sell. Or not, up to you homie
Love the Johnny Cash finger Derby cover.
Yeah that would be pretty cool 🤙
Like your mods on the bike so far the Hd bad lander seat looks great on that bike at least I think so all ways something glad to hear that you got it fixed 👍
@Ron Wissinger thanks man, I was pretty relieved. I've got a saddleman seat on the way hopefully it arrives next week 👍
Beautiful upgrades!!
Cool mods! I noticed that you didn't change the indicator lenses to work with the smoked lens caps. I opted for the chrome/amber bulbs. You should also get a hair dryer and heat up the fork and frame reflectors so that you can just peel them off.
@Eric Sekkouah yep I'm certainly going to remove the reflectors, I'm not a fan. Just forgot to do it when filming 🤦♂️
Replace that seat with ansaddlemen step up seat. You’ll thank me later. Love the look of the blacked out upper forks. And smoke turn signal covers. I think I’ll do the same.
That vinyl made it look a lot better, was surprised by that. Did you buy a speicific colour like a RAL code or something?
Mate I just bought some cheap gloss black vinyl off eBay. 12 months later and the vinyl is still holding up really good.
Here's a link.

Great mods just picked up my new street bob today. Are you a mechanic as not to sure if I am confident enough to tackle forward controls. But you make it look so easy, also went to stealership to get flush fuel mount with the part number you supplied they said that would not fit my bike,
Dont listen to the stealership haha That fuel cap definantly fits mate. I can understand why they would say it doesnt fit as it's not made for the street bob but as you see it certainly does. Also nope I'm not a mechanic, the forward control install isnt too difficult. Just take your time and you will be fine 👍
Have you had any issues with the flush gas cap? Harley parts guy told me they don’t work properly on Street Bob, but fitment on yours looks spot on. Thank for the vids!
@Rick Castillo nope havnt had a single issue with the flushmount cap. Harley told me there wasn't a model specific flushmount cap for the softail street bob yet. So I went with the sportster fuel cap. It isnt %100 flush probably like 2mm raised but overall I'm stoked with it.
Did you have in another video were you put a piece of black plastic trim over the vin? Can’t seem to find it and was
Interested in the part.
Nope that wasnt me mate, I think street bobber vlogger had that in a video. You can buy it from the rogue rider industries website though.
Hi. It’s possible to know diameter of the derby cover?
Great bike love the mods!! Trying to do the minor ones on mine as well!
1st thing how did the lights look afterwards turned on?
2nd where did you get the vinyl from.
3rd have you really had no issues with the fuel cap? I've heard that there were.
Thanks if you cant answer back its AoK.
@Sal Salinas thanks mate.
The blinker lights were still bright enough to see however I later bought orange globes as the stock globes are clear.
I purchased the vinyl off ebay which was very cheap. And I didnt have any issues with the stock tank cap however I have been told the stock tank cap rattles after a few thousand kms. I changed the tank cap as soon as I bought the bike. I put the black flushmount tank cap on for aesthetics.
@@TheGingybeardMan thanks man! I appreciate the feedback and the response time! 👌🏿
Nice mods! I have a Willie G derby on the way. No issues with oil leaking when removing derby cover on kick stand?
No Rick there was no oil leaking. The oil level sits below the bottom of the derby cover even when the bike is on its side stand
The bike looks ...Way....better with the mods you did. But you missed putting smoked lense covers on your rear turn signals.
@Edward Weiszbeck thanks mate, appreciate your comments. Because the rear turn signals are a sealed unit I'm unable to put smoked lenses on like I did with the front. I will have to purchase smoked LED indicators in the future but they are alot more expensive then the lense covers I put on the front.
What size Allen key did u use on your derby cover , I’m having issue finding the right size ?
Mate can't remember for the life of me as it was so long ago. I ended up changing the Allen head bolts for heavier duty ones as I found the stock ones were very flimsy and didn't require much torque too break the heads off. Many people on the Facebook streetbob group have had this issue with the stock derby cover bolts.
The Gingybeard Man I ended up buying some torque keys to use and it only took me 5 min to change n will go see my old man to use his torque wrench
Hi mate. So synth 3 oil is just 20w50 oil? Same as engine oil? The oil is very thin from factory agree.
I believe so but the run in oil from factory according to the harley mechanic is even more light weight than the synth 3 oil.
Ever since he changed the oil the bike hasnt had the issue. I've also been told by numerous other street bob owners that after the 1st service the shifting issue went away....... that also suggests it's the oil.
Hi, nice mods!! I just want to ask about the black sticker part, how did you avoid the brake line grip that touch the left fork on the left side?
Thanks you.
Thanks mate, all you have to do is loosen the bolt so the brake line bracket is able to be moved. Then apply the vynl and tighten the bolt back up 👍
@@TheGingybeardMan Thanks bro :)
Cool video man......👍👍👍👍
@Tripp_HPjunkie thanks man, appreciate it 👍
Did they change the tank on the 19’s. This bike has more of a sportster look.
Yeah the softail street bob had a smaller tank than the other 19 models like the slim, breakout and heritage. Those tanks however are interchangeable and bolt right onto the street bob.
You didn’t change out the headlight trim. It looks nasty also.
Yeah man I agree, that's another thing on the list 🤙
Love it mate
Thanks brother
Is the wrap for the folks waterproof and will it affect the chrome under
Yes mate it's weatherproof. It's outdoor vinyl . I havnt had any damage to the chrome after 18 months of it being on the bike
man, i have the same fxbb, can you please tell me, do you have some scratchy sounds when you are moving slow on first gear with half clutch?
No sir, I've never experienced that sound
@@TheGingybeardMan tnx for answer, will be investigating whats wrong can be.. may be its braking disk, deforms somehow and at slow speed scratchs...
@@andy_andy_andy_andy I've heard people say there is a sticker which comes loose under the drive belt guard which rubs on the belt and causes a ticking noise. Maybe check that.
@@TheGingybeardMan tnx bro!) i'll check
Hey some good simple mods there, you mentioned in the vid you would provide the part numbers for the fuel cap, Derby cover etc.? Cheers.
@Bigjazzy thanks man, the part number for the cap is 63134-10A and the part number for the derby cover is HD25700968
The Gingybeard Man Did this require a new gasket?
How tall are the stock handles on a street bob? Thanks
Mate I believe the stock height is 11 inches
Great job, where did you get the gas cap from.
Hey mate If your in Aus you will be able to buy it from the frasers motorcycle website. If you're not in Aus type the part number 63134-10A in Google and it should pop up 👍
Did you replace the stock bulbs? And if so, where did you get them? Thanks
I did eventually change the stock bulbs for amber ones, I found them on ebay under harley bulbs.
@@TheGingybeardMan did the stock bulbs shine bright enough with the dark lenses?
@@infiniteg7852 yes they did shine bright enough to be visible in daylight
@@TheGingybeardMan and the Amber ones were good at night? I can’t find them anywhere!
@@infiniteg7852 they sure were, they are easier to see at night. I bought them over a year ago on ebay. You may have to source them on amazon
I find the kick stand very short, trying to deploy when pushing bike, nearly dropping bike.
I agree man, the previous generation harleys had better kick stands
@@TheGingybeardMan Thanks for replies. Hoping to get out on bike tomorrow morning, weather has been horrible past few weeks here in Scotland.
@@rabtroozirs54 not a worry mate 👍 it's starting to really warm up here in Aus which makes for great riding..... I was glad to see the end of winter.
@@TheGingybeardMan Enjoy your season.
Nice bike dude, whats the HD part # for that flush mount cap? TY mate
@Flying Low thanks man, the part # is 63134-10A
Nice man!!
@Harley Dave Thanks man
My stock chrome derby cover has got to go!
Did you replace the gasket for the Derby Cover?
No I just used re-used the stock one 👍
@@TheGingybeardMan ah ok. Did you use the inch Pound torque wrench or just a regular one ? Thanks a lot man
@@infiniteg7852 I just used a regular wrench, but be careful because those bolts don't take a lot of torque before they will snap off. I replaced them with heavier duty ones.
@@TheGingybeardMan ok, thanks man
Rear turn signals still orange?
I've since changed them and did an install vid on my channel.
Say it ain't so
All thecshit you called out is what I don't like about mine
@Joey Russell yeah man they needed to be changed. As you could see, its extremely easy to do 👍
Good for you mate happy to see things working out for you . Them black fork covers look way better.That's the bike i want Billiard Blue would suit me .
@Wally cleaver, thanks mate. That billiard blue sure is nice, are you planning on buying one soon?
@@TheGingybeardMan Yeah i wish i live in the Philippines now 21 years now just turned 70 .The problem is the import tax of 90% makes it expensive and the roads here are no good im almost aged out almost.
@@wallycleaver1320 wow, that import tax is ridiculous. The Philippines certainly is a beautiful part of the world though.
