@@TheNostorian agree. somewhat cool fairing but looks abhorrently aftermarket on the inside. i wouldnt pay 50 bucks for it. I'll take a conelys t sport fairing every time over this.
Man, I truly hope that the Low Rider S returns this year and that H-D finally introduces a touring model for it. A modern FXRT is much needed. These custom builds are awesome, but many of us want one ready to go off the floor from the factory.
The cool thing about this fairing is that it’s 30 inches wide. Just like the bars, so, if you squeeze & split on a Sportster, Dyna or this Low Rider -S, stock, you can totally do the same thing with this fairing!
Evil White Man I believe he’s referring to lane splitting. I was wondering the same. I like the fairing but no way I’d put it on my bike if it made it harder to split lanes.
@@angelosenteio Matt didn't seem to have any problem splitting lanes with it , there was at least one shot of him doing it . i was more worried about the bags , they look a little wider than the fairing . but didn't seem to be a problem .
I meant lane splitting, yeah! This is the perfect fairing for it, as is exactly as wide as the bars. I know it’s not legal everywhere, but in California and in Mexico City, it’s necessary and can be safe-ish! 🤘🏻💀
I'll say it again and again and again... THIS is how H-D will compete with the rest. As long as H-D can keep it cost effective, which they can if they really want to, and not kill the deal with nonsense, overpricing, and make financing super easy, these are win win sales. This design, as well as all of Laidlaw's other recent builds, are fantastic.. Bravo fellas!
Awesome build. I would like to see the overall sales figures at the end of the year and see where the Low Rider S is at. Hope HD Corp takes notes and expands options, parts and builds from this platform. That exhaust sounds killer and you did make a good point about doing long distances with something like that. Great for short rides but not all day.
@@mixalis6168 Yes it was pulled. It remains to be verified what is happening to the Deluxe, Breakout and, what was the third one forecast to be dropped?
Matt, idk about shorty levers. I have 1fng (same as Elit) shorty clutch and normal size brake lever. I really dig it. I have no fatigues on a clutch even after battling trafic for 1 hour straight. But I used to have a lot of fatigues in traffic with stock levers.
@Merle Stadnyk we ALL know that Matt's ALL about "doing the speed limit" 🤣 The Zion video was a great display of that. ("Licence & Registration please"👮♂️)
Hey Matt, I've gotta thank you. I already gave props to Shadetree Surgeon but as I told him your Zion video broke me brother! I did a similar trip back in 99 in a car with my then girlfriend. The entire time all I could think about is how epic that trip would be on my bike! 21 years later with my bike outta sorts, not having ridden in 6 to 7 years (new ex-girlfriend) I find myself watching that vid. It freaking broke me! Less than a week later I'm the proud owner of my first Harley. A 2020 Softail Standard! I am so happy right now! Thanks for what you do and for the inspiration to get me back on two wheels!
Thanks brother. I live for comments like this. I’m always trying to spread the enjoyment of two wheels. Congrats on the new bike. Enjoy. Thanks for watching my channel. 👍🏻
I had Bassani pipes on a 2012 Custom Sportster and they were loud. When riding in staggered formation the bike to my right usually asked to switch positions so my exhaust was mostly addressing the roadside and not the right side rider. That said, I loved the sound. Now I ride a 2016 Stage 4 Limited with Vance and Hines exhaust that is loud but not in the same league as Bassani. Please keep the videos coming, they are always informative and entertaining.
Really cool bike! Love the saddle bags. The fairing is just screaming for a sound system. Maybe if Harley could mass produce something like this at a reasonable price you’d get those elusive younger guys interested in riding a Harley.
Big fan of the FXRT fairing on Softail builds....please share more in the future, especially if owner also added a bluetooth speaker system. I also hope that MoCo offers an FXRT model in 21.
Love everything about this build and damn those lucky Dave’s 13s are nice bars for sure gonna pull the trigger on those 🤙thanks for the content Matt Also I love how you allow us to listen to your test rides no music or Extras just you and the bike rippin down the road love it that’s all ya need 🤙👌
I like the looks of that. I know you've got to know Adam Sandoval. He got his lady a similar ferring for her bike. Looks good. I only wish that these and the ferrings on the road glide could be mounted a couple of inches lower kind of like some old car get a lowered roof but here without the chop. I think it would make the bikes look a little longer and sleeker.
@Matt Laidlaw how much does harley charge for Labor? i wanna get some risers on my Lowrider S... stock seating position and bars messes up my lower back after a long ride.
Great build! What's the weight of the bike in final form? Harley needs a fairing bike, proper liquid cooling, with cruise control. The Pan American platform was a nice new concept. A Road Glide redo with the Pan American engine, belt drive, and a modern lightweight chassis would absolutely rock the motorcycle world and also be a huge shot of adrenaline for Harley.
Damn y’all just barely beat me to it. I’ll get my RWD next week. Was hoping to be the first one in silver. Granted I’ll probably be the only one on it part of the US coast line
So this is the ''new thing'' coming out of So-Cal after the club style. Looking dope, but I don't think it'll be very enjoyable downtown in a busy city. Cheers Matt, another cool vid ! ps: Pretty sure the mirrors are Ness. 👌
I actually think this is one of my favorites, because that fairing and those bags go together. And for some reason, I think it looks better in silver. Thanks for sharing this.
An excellent video (again) and a beautiful bike. Since you said the taillight was stock, I was surprised you did not comment on the apparent "turn signal delete" option! LOL. Not sure this will fly in many states! Maybe the owner should upgrade to a taillight w/integrated signals?? Also from your riding, I was wondering if the inner fairing painted Barracuda Silver was excessively reflective at the wrong times of day. I am thinking matt silver or black, "billiard" silver (which I know doesn't exist but would lack metallic flakes), or even vivid black would have been better?
Love the bike and the build!! What does the faring usually cost to fit on property and paint and install by your shop? I’m very interested in doing a similar bill to my 2019 Lowrider, I can’t find anybody that does the quality work you guys do up here in Northern California
I appreciate the ideas and the quality of the work involved but I have to say that fairing looks very chunky, The noise! Definitely too much, too loud. Always interesting to see these projects. I have a question. Can you buy mufflers or systems to make HD's quieter?
Hi Matt. I'm having trouble with my new Iron. I bought it a year ago & basically it's using a lot of oil. The Harley Davidson store has just rebuild it "which took 2 months because of software issues" & now after the run in stage I just put 900klms on it & it's dropped 25% of it's oil. Just wondering how often this happens with this motor? I was lead to believe the Blockhead motor was bulletproof. I remember commenting on a video of a friend of yours who new motor gave him grief but he stuck with the product! & I was pleased for him. I'm wanting to stay but after 1.5 years of having your heart broken it's making me re think my choice. Would appreciate feedback because even Harley-Davidson Australia just seems too dodge the question. Thanks Brett
Nice bike, the bags are different but nice to see all the options available. So your saying you can install an aftermarket head pipe/full exhaust and not void the warranty as long as your using the SE tuner/SE Auto-tune Pro combination?
Great video matt! Your recording style of the videos are really good! The sound is good too! Can i ask you where did you put the micro when you are riding? Sounds really clear the exausth and no wind noise... Interested how do it! Thanks!
waiting for HD to come out with it from the factory. I think the fairing looks great but all that unused empty space on the inner fairing could be lockable space/ storage. Maybe a GPS on the upper fairing. This would be my First HD purchase. Why is it when they use that exhaust there is always that middle section missing where the muffler joins the header. I would would think an upper performance exhaust would be completely finished off. i
Sweet build and cool video. Would love to see your opinion on the softail quarter fairing with the dirty dixie performance windshield for a change up tho. Im trying to decide between those fairings
Looks good. Can't do mid controls though unless I was just bar hopping, which I don't do. Does that fairing come with brackets for any of the softails?
Matt, I thought that I would ask....and I know that this is kind of remedial but, what are the gloves that you are wearing in the video? They seem really functional? Thanks for your time, sir!
How would you describe the sound of the Bassani Road Rage compared to a Fab28 exhaust? I just picked up a new Low Rider S and so far those are the two exhausts that I’m interested in. I’m looking for a deep and clean sound without any raspy or high pitched notes
Harley-Davidson is wondering why people say that don’t listen to the customers? We’ve been asking for a bike like this for a long time now but they refuse to build it. I really hope Laidlaws is making a killing on these bikes and the coast glide the quality looks top notch it looks factory.
great looking bike . i was unsure about the bags , seemed like putting a fat back end on a bike built for lane splitting and canyon carving . stock cam ?
Could you please add spec lists? (All the aftermarket parts to this bike) I’ll like to shop for it. Still contemplating on getting a HD, either Street Bob or FXR.
Once again, great job Matt. I’m curious as to what you did with the rear turn signals. Maybe I missed it but I’m not sure if they were integrated into the taillight.
great video as always...dont like to be negative but the bags and the fairing just dont cut it for me but the rest of the bikes just fine....Plus, Matt..... you need to back off the gas!!!!.....
If the sport glide would of came out with a similar fairing you couldn't keep them on the floor!
Maybe if they touch up the inner fairing. Looks cool on the outside. But drivers view screams aftermarket.
@@TheNostorian agree. somewhat cool fairing but looks abhorrently aftermarket on the inside. i wouldnt pay 50 bucks for it. I'll take a conelys t sport fairing every time over this.

Sick build. Clean. Pay attention harley!
I always liked that older FXR style . Nice build bike . Only some storage room in the fairing is missing . Harley should reconsider this idea...
This bike still one my favorites..

I've always been a fan of the touring models but this build is growing on me
I learn a lot from your videos Matt. I bought a 2020 Deluxe in March not even knowing it would be one of the last built.
But wasn't vid pulled from youtube ?
@@mixalis6168 Yes it was pulled. It remains to be verified what is happening to the Deluxe, Breakout and, what was the third one forecast to be dropped?
@@beabt1 I think the fxdr is the other one getting cut.
Wide Band O2 and target tune with PV works great as another option.

That is a beautiful Low Rider S

Hey Matt, you better be cool for a while. You don't need anymore tickets anytime soon...lol
I think I would take it easy also
A request for you to do a video explaining all the patches on your riding jacket. I have a feeling there is a story behind each one! Thanks
TwinCam-B in a rubber-mounted tour-glide w/ Santana's "Smooooth" blasting down the hwy... ;-)
Sounds great
It will be worth waiting for the new models until Q1 2021 if Harley brings out a FXRT style bike based on the Low Rider S.
Front fairings are awesome on long hauls. But all they really are are huge airbreaks like on airplanes that are on the entire Ride.
I am a big fan of your riding skills. But please sir do one thing just move your helmet cam [right side cam] to the middle of the helmet.
the sound is incredible
My 09 FXDC has a low Badlander seat and I love my DYNA SUPER GLIDE CUSTOM
Big fan of the FXRT fairing on Softail builds....please share more in the future, especially if owner also added a bluetooth speaker system. I also hope that MoCo offers an FXRT model in 21.

Also I love how you allow us to listen to your test rides no music or
Extras just you and the bike rippin down the road love it that’s all ya need 🤙👌
With the popularity of that fairing in surprised Harley hasn't capitalized on it yet. The sport glide looks great with it, as do softail's.
that looks like a fun bike to ride
That bike is red hot 🔥 outstanding 🤘⚡️🤘
Love the fxrp fairing and bags.
Should do the inner part of the fairing in gloss black to break it up and make it look more premium like on a Road Glide Special
Cool Low Rider S Matt!! But for me I loved Nancy Low Rider S the Better that was a SIK H-D!! Beside the Cost Gide... lol 🤘🏻😎
Awsome build guys perhaps smaller indicators apart from that great.
I like the looks of that. I know you've got to know Adam Sandoval. He got his lady a similar ferring for her bike. Looks good.

I got goosebumps on the intro
That's what I aim for.
I’d put one on my Street Bob. Looks perfect
The ideas for customization just never ends on these bikes. Is there that much less lean angle on this bike with forward controls?
Matt Laidlaw, good dude.. got style too. Execs! Take notes..
Stage 3 would be a great fit for this bike!
I want one of these bad, I've been talking to Jason from Laidlaws on and off on trying to put something together, awesome bike👍

I have a similar bike but it's a Sport Glide and no one likes a "busy city" riding situation,,,but it does just fine in those places!!
I DIG that fairing man, that looks great!
God i hope the big wigs at hstley get you guys involved with future bikes. These retro builds are the future, im tellin ya.
I actually think this is one of my favorites, because that fairing and those bags go together. And for some reason, I think it looks better in silver. Thanks for sharing this.
I like that fairing. Thought of putting it on my Road King Special.
Hooah
This road rage pipe sounds loud like a thunder header. Is the pipe on this bike have a baffle and is it as loud as it sounds on the video?
I like the relocation of the turn signals. Was there already holes there for the lowers that you used to attach them to the bottom of the fairing?
How high do you have to go with risers to clear one of those fairings? I got a RWD fairing and was hoping not to go real high.

Like the bike, not keen on the fairing inner, risers( prefer mini apes) or exhaust note otherwise great.
A really excellent piece of work - thanks for sharing!
Alright !
What saddle bag brackets are these? I’m looking to do this exact set up… I know the bags are frx division… but where did the brackets come from?
That exhaust 🤤🤤🤤
Nice bike, the bags are different but nice to see all the options available. So your saying you can install an aftermarket head pipe/full exhaust and not void the warranty as long as your using the SE tuner/SE Auto-tune Pro combination?
Nice Lowrider S build. Looks like my Dyna minus the extra ponies! 😔
Nice bike, I love all the different looks you can get with a street bob!
Great video matt! Your recording style of the videos are really good! The sound is good too! Can i ask you where did you put the micro when you are riding? Sounds really clear the exausth and no wind noise... Interested how do it! Thanks!
Why did the MOCO bother bringing back the Sport Glide nameplate if they won’t even bring back the fairing?
Love it don’t like the color but it’s a nice bike how much$$$ for bike with additions?😎
Sweet, another amazing Low Rider S build. Can you go into more detail about warranty issues and upgrades? Thanks!

I have a 107 with 2-1 , stage 1 and tuner. Mine doesn't sound that mean, is that just the cams? Mine sounds amazing, but not quite this mean.
Sweet build and cool video. Would love to see your opinion on the softail quarter fairing with the dirty dixie performance windshield for a change up tho. Im trying to decide between those fairings
I would drop a plex audio kit in that fairing!
That is really badass! gonna make me buy another bike lol.....i'm serious!
Badass looking Harley 👍
The Motor Company would be wise to reintroduce the FXRP ....
Looks good. Can't do mid controls though unless I was just bar hopping, which I don't do. Does that fairing come with brackets for any of the softails?
Always the best exhaust sounds on your vids 👍
did you guys do the work for him on the fairing? where did you get the blacked out head lamp clamp??
We did all the work. We power coated it.

Could you add the info taiment system for GPS for this low rider S?
Could you please add spec lists? (All the aftermarket parts to this bike) I’ll like to shop for it. Still contemplating on getting a HD, either Street Bob or FXR.
Hi matt. I would love to see more about this new hd auto tuner. What it does? And why do we need it? Is it easy to use?
What fairing gives the best wind protection the street glide or road glide or FXRT
Beautiful
Once again, great job Matt. I’m curious as to what you did with the rear turn signals. Maybe I missed it but I’m not sure if they were integrated into the taillight.
Beautiful bike, and sounds great Matt 👍
great video as always...dont like to be negative but the bags and the fairing just dont cut it for me but the rest of the bikes just fine....Plus, Matt..... you need to back off the gas!!!!.....
Looks like the one that was built here at HD Waco two months ago.
that hat is badass!
Okay. But can someone ballpark the build cost? Cause I need to start saving for my LRS build out.
how I can find the windscreen? Is easy to mount and dissamble? ty ... I love ur custimyze 😍
What was the price for this gem?!
Call the dealership and ask.
Prob $30k +
DrewTheDestroyer shouldn’t be that bad. I’m doing a similar build but no bags and I’m nowhere near that far in thank goodness
