I know your camera mounting position is a common one for a lot of motivvloggers but for some reason the way you have yours mounted lets me feel like I’m actually seeing what you see because when you said you saw half of your arm in the mirrors that’s literally what I could see too so it’s super cool the angle or however you got your camera set up we actually get that true first person point of you not like we’re sitting on your chest like a lot of chin mounted cameras. it’s actually like we’re looking from your eyes. Good stuff man I know you pay attention to details like that and it’s much appreciated 👍🏽
Personally I like the gauges tank mounted. It just looks so much cleaner when u have taller risers
Agreed, they look classier and the handle bars remain uncluttered. I’m glad I got my 21.
I bought one of the last few of the dealer new '21's. No regrets.
At first it was a PITA to look down but that was because I was running her in and I needed to check my revs. (I own a 2020 fxlrs with a 131ci stage IV). However, once it's run in I don't feel a need to look at the revs, I go by 'feel'. Also I have a satnav fitted and it fits beautifully under the larger fairing cowl ( I have the larger HD optional fairing) which wouldn't be possible with the gauge bar mounted.
They look so much better on the tank!! Looks cheap on the bars. Softail Slim looked so much better!! Harley should have never discontinued the Slim!!
@@tonylinardi3089 I've got a Garmin Zumo XT mounted on the bars of my 2020 Lowrider S. That gives me my speed, and I almost never look down. I gauge the revs by feel.
I recently turned 60 and bought myself a 2023 Low Rider S. Yes, I'm defying my demographic. I actually went in to get a Heritage, but out of the corner of my eye, the sexiest bike in pearl white sand caught my eye and after a test ride, I proposed and we were married on the spot! And wow, can this bike go! I traded in my 2017 Deluxe for her and man....what can I say? I feel 20 years younger. Love the mid-controls as I like to stand up from time to time to stretch my legs. Worth every penny! Great review of the 2022, blockhead! Keep up the good work!
I actually like the new gauge setup. Looks clean and functional.
I really like the gauge placement. Wish they would have done that on the models from the last few years. Just don’t think its enough to trade a 2020 FXLRS for it though.
The new gauge is only about $260. Well worth it IMO.
I got one for my 2021 Street Bob because I can't stand the tiny all digital gauge. The analog tach is a great touch.
Dealer cost to flash the ECM is only about $60. Certainly beats all the aftermarket 3rd party stuff that's like $500-600
The 117 Milwaukee is tho, trade that shii in brodie
I was there. I did the test ride. I came home and bought mine 2 days later.
Honestly I'm loving the refreshed low rider S. The decision to relocate clusters from the tank to the bars behind the fairing was the best decision Harley made. However, that being said, for the money you pay for the Low Rider S. I kinda wish they would have put the digital Guage cluster used in the Nightster S on instead of the one they have on the bike currently. Otherwise, I think it's an awesome bike. But still a bit behind the Indian bikes in terms of tech.
And that's a good thing.
I ride a 14 low rider. I'm 75 years old. I don't think I should buy a new one right now. If you don't slow down at intersections, you won't be riding when your 75. Great video. You don't over-power the voice track with music which I appreciate because I'm listening so that I can hear you. Oil on the Inside, Rubber on the Bottom! Thank you.
I like the traditional tank mounted gauges that came out in 1977. The bar mounted gauge has a sportster look. I have a 2020 LR now. This is the third LR I’ve owned over the years, so I may be biased, lol.
I like the bar mounted speedo from a safety pov (since your eyes should be UP) but heavily prefer the gas mounted myself. I'm the type of person to guestimate my speed based on traffic around me so I prefer the tank aesthetic.
Love my 2022 Low Rider S. The 117 is awesome the handling is great. Coming from the Street Bob 114. My biggest reason for upgrade was the gas tank 5 gallons. We do long rides. I've already have mine set up like I want it. Stage 2 will be the last thing I do to it.
I actually upgraded a week ago from my 21 LRS to the 22. Honestly I like the speedo up more. It also feels way more torquey and aggressive as well as feeling more nimble even with the forward controls. Truthfully it feels like an FXDR and Low Rider S hyrbid to me
They put forward controls on the low rider s?
@@mariahm.7199 Aftermarket option, like 500 to get it from harley but to me it feels better than doing demos on the Low Rider S in stock configuration
What Blockhead has done for me. Saw some videos of him back in 2018, and started to follow him. Saw alot of his videos, and ending up buying my first HD in 2020😜 Then had to sell the bike last fall to buy new house, then found my way back to his videos again now. Currently looking at the Low rider s 2023🙈 I kinda blame Blockhead😂 But damn I love that his videos got me to buy HD😍
It’s great to see HD listen to their customer base, and smartly utilize CZcams motorcycle vloggers like yourself.
With the gauges moved it's more of a softail sport instead of a low rider. the duel gauges on the tank is what made it a low rider.
they changed the gauge placement, but didn't take advantage of swapping it to the full digital thats on the sportster s. Maybe for 2023.
If i could put this gauge on the Low Rider ST, that would be amazing.
I like the gauges on the tank. I rarely look at the speedo when riding. I am looking at cars. And only look at gauges when its safe, ie, no cars.
I prefer the gauges higher up like the new model. Safety first. Lol!
amazing video, always gotta mention the master tech XD chris is amazing and deserves the right title so im glad you do
Guage up off the tank looks nice, but the center of the tank looks like it could've been done alot better.
Thanks for the review! I’m probably buying it, but it should have come with the cruise control.
We’ll done sir! 👍 For me, you’ve got the all-around highest quality videos like this out there. By far, my favorite Moto content. Anybody ever tell you that you remind them of Tim Ferriss? Thanks for bringing another review vid and keep doing what you do. So damn helpful for so many of us man. 👊
Buzzing to see your thoughts on this, got me a 117 LRS in order and will be here in April. Will be one of the first in the UK. Inspired by goldzilla.
woah nice congrats
dude
Hehe my b-day is in April :P 10/04
@@Paul20661 maybe put a vlog out with it soon as well 🤣
Picked mine up a few weeks ago and loving it. Upgraded the fairing and put soft bags on it. Just enjoying putting miles on for first oil change and to swap out the pipes with the V&H.
Just bought mine and actually used your old videos to use a inspiration for my buying. Haven’t put anything on yet but will use your vid’s as help
I am patiently waiting for Kraus or Thrashin to come out with a riser kit for the analog Speedo. I have seen these bikes converted to the digital Speedo already. Not sure which one I like better.
I think I like the digital speedo better, even the LRST bars look a bit nicer to me. Cant wait to see what Kraus or Thrashin come out with. Cant wait to see an LRST in person and make a decision. cheers
This is literally how I would want someone to describe a bike to me. No bullshit, IGNF'S .......I'm hitting subscribe.
If I was a CVO guy, I'd be super pissed about the 117 being in the LRS.
But I'm not, so screw 'em.
I want that bike so bad! Test rode a couple weeks ago and fell in love with it. For out of the box performance and comfort, it’s hard to beat. One day I will be able to buy it and trade up from my Triumph.
I liked the two gauges on the tank, but I like the Road King style info display too.
Damnit the more I see of new Harleys the more I want one😭😭
Things have came a LONG way over the past decade, finally catching up to the times.
As far as looks, I prefer it on the tank personally but it makes more sense mounted like it is for safety/ easier to see without having to move your head
I'd get the 114" & put an S&S big bore kit in it just b/c I like the gauges on the tank better so I can change the risers.
What is a dissapointment is not that they deleted the gauges on the tank but that they did not replace them with dual gauges. It seems they tried to save money by using a single gauge. But it seems to cheapen the bike. W/E
At 80 years of age and not having ridden a bike for 20+ years i am wrestling with the decision of purchasing this bike. To me, it is beautiful indeed. Gotta decide...🤔
Wasn't sure about the gauge placement visually until I sat on one and yeah I get it. Love the grey which looks great on all the models IMO!!!
i test rode it today too and really like it. It has slightly forward mid controls the guy running the demo told me there is forward control kit for it.
after test riding the sportster S with about the same numbers and about 500 lbs wet ... nothing compares really in stock form .Your 131 probably does match or beats its the performance but for stock roughly 15k bike it is insane...
I don’t like the gauge change. But nothing will have the character of the Dyna low rider S. Loved mine.
My literal dream bike🤤
Couple weeks before we were there. I loved it. 80 something degrees and bike week shirts bogo free 😎 lol
Darkparts has a great set to bring the gauges from the center into the fairing. I did that on my 2020 Lowrider S and looks much better, even better than the 2022 setup.
I got my dyna a year ago, and it feels too soon for me to be looking at a replacement but its been an absolute lemon, already replaced the fuel system, charging system and even as I speak its in the shop chasing another new issue. Not gonna lie I can see myself selling the dyna and this bike is top of the list atm, maybe next years model give me time to get my bike sold and then commit to 5 years of debt.
Only thing I would have preferred with this bike is a dual analog gauge setup (tach & speedo) rather than both in a single pod. Just an aesthetic preference
That is one I would like to own but at this time it won’t happen. I love how it’s set up.
I would love to have this one. But at this time I can’t afford it. I love how it’s setup.
hope you finally got one.
Ordered my cruise control module in March 2021 for my fat bob 107……stilllllll waiting for it to come in.
I hate the gauges, but I like the gas cap only being on one side.
I like the new gauge placement. I know everyone seems to like the gun ship gray but I’m just middle of the road on it.
Center gauge up top is way better. Hope to see more colors in the future. Hopefully the burgandy and a metallic blue.
I got this exact spec of the low rider s and I absolutely love it!
I think is a great purchase for people who is coming from Twin Cam bikes. But so far if you have M8 no point to upgrade to any bike from that platform.
I picked mine up Saturday and my only complaint is the bars are far forward for my height. I'm 5'9 so I do stretch a bit to hold them. Plan to replace the risers with a different set to make it more suited for me. Other then that It's a blast to ride and look forward to some nice trips on it.
That big Ugly Plastic thing on the tank killed some of the kewl looks of the bike in my mind! Could Harley at least ditched the plastic thing if that were going to move the location of the gauge? I am not a fan of the gauge look after seeing one in person.
I like the cleaner gauges. Much nicer looking and practical
Dude the ST is the boomer version of this bike. I like this version! The guage setup looks a lot better. Looks a lot cleaner, less bulky, and awkward than the previous years. You can also effectively use a tank bag on the new Low Rider S now.
The new gauge setup is muuuuuuuuuuuch better.
Absolutely love the look of the new Speedo. So much, that I bought it for my 2021 Street Bob.
The low rider S is such a fun bike.
I have never rode a day in my life but i love the lowrider s i want one badly
I can barely see the speedometer but I'm assuming that's just the camera and you can see it just fine?
Awesome videos!! Always fun to watch and makes me want to jump on the bike everytime lol. Have an 18 mt09 but really diggin these lowrider S
I can’t wait to have enough riding experience to throw my bike into a corner like you do block. Love the videos!
I'm used to that style gauge that came on my 1200 iron. I do like the extras that come on this gauge.
Really wish someone would make saddlebag brackets as they did for the Dynas
100 % BADASSERY
Very nice motorcycle... The New Indian Chief Dark Horse Motorcycles are in direct Competition with The Low Rider S
I have one of these, they are fucking fast.
Once I pay off my sportster I'm thinking of upgrading to a the '22 FXLRS/ST or Street Glide. Thanks for your opinion.
Eh, I prefer my 2020 tank. The 117 is cool tho.
Glad they did the whole engine thing but the speedo on the Lowrider is traditionally on the tank. This looks like a Sportster.
It would be nice to see them make an upgrade option for us who have a 2020-21 fxlrs to remount the Guage how they have the new one. Granted yes ive seen the recounting location ones but i would honestly just like having the single guage .. have it more like the new sportster style.
I’d be willing to bet money that it’s coming
Dream bike. Hoping to get one after my transplants
The vast majority of people I see with a Low Rider S add taller risers/ T-Bars and a higher windscreen. Do you think Harley-Davidson should offer that setup stock on their Low Rider S? What’s your thoughts on why they don’t? Great continent, as always!
I just bought this bike. Came for the review.
I wish Harley-Davidson would have put the double gages on both the S and the ST
I really like that new gauge location. That is my only pet peeve with my 2018 fat bob, and I would love to find a way to re locate it to the bars.
I have a 2021 LRS and while I think the dash mounted speedo and RPM gauge are kind of a pain, I think the smooth dash is a little goofy looking. Maybe it will grow on me
Man that Gunship Gray looks blue, not gray like on the HD website
Also I would take the digital gage from the 2022 street bob and put it on this. 👌
From a practical point, the gauge placement change makes a lot of sense but the old placement looks WAY cooler in my opinion.
Nice color on the test ride bike.
Just picked one up. I love it
I own one and I love it lots of stock power
I bought this bike a month ago. Love the gauge up high. That was a great placement for it. The mirrors aren’t great though. I’d love to flip them upside down but idk where to find or get the custom bracket for it.
Harley got the fitting to put these upside down
@@espacephotojeremyroxane7240 I’ll ask my Harley dealer. Thanks!
Great review. just like old times. more please.
great video i want the bike now
Thanks for the review 🤘🏻
Pros and Cons with the new gage. Its better to see, safer but i like it clean behind die shield. Well i guess the new one is still the better way to go, because i tend to go to fast when i dont see the speed directly xD
I love the gunship grey!
Why did they keep that trim piece on the tank. Might as well remove that with the gauge relocation
Great review Block
Awesome
Riding home from work and watching in a bit
Spring is finally here ☀️
If they are going to move the guages then they should smooth the tank
I'm glad they moved the gage's, wasn't a fan. I wouldn't mind the slim setup tho
This is a beautiful motorcycle
That road with the curves was fun on the demo rides. I was down there doing demo rides too
dream bike
I like the classic look of the gauges on the tank, but not having to look down would be nice. The gray paint is not appealing at all to me. It's the color of my lawnmower and it doesn't match the bronze wheels. You mentioned cruise control- I've been waiting a year for it. That's ridiculous when it's an item that comes stock on several other bikes.
