We need your old videos with the Harley back!
My first Harley was a street bob 107. Road it for 50 freeway miles in SoCal daily. Perfectly capable bike! Still had plenty of power to pass and split. My only issue was filling up every other day.
Hell yea! I will def say that’s the biggest flaw, does suck to be filling up often, especially how I ride, I burn it prob 3 times faster 😅
That’s why I’m planning on swapping an LRS tank onto mine.
Love my 2020 Street Bob!
got the 107 and its nice. power
21 FXBBS. Easy rollin on the hwy. Definitely needs some suspension tweaking and a Bung King crash bar to stretch out on. I like crushing miles and I like to stand up occasionally so forwards aren't an option.
I have the same bike I love mine. I love your tattoos 😊
I love my 2020 Street Bob...she's a beast!
Hell yea!
I rode my 2020 streetbob from Phoenix Az to Fayetteville Ar in 3 days, completely stock minus a sissybar and a mustang seat, and it was 90% highway. Now that I've put a road warrior on it, I can crush some serious miles no problem!
I rode from Glasgow to Scrabster in a day, on my bob wonderful, except the tourist traffic. If you live in Scotland get the harley heated grips, they're atomic.
Hello..I got the streebob 2018..I use it everyday in town for work and for long rides...Extremely agile like a scooter and test power like big cruiser..
Hi ! Perfect video and in my own backyard too. 🙌 Would you suggest this as an option for a beginners bike - instead of the sportster?
You live around here? I did a video on “is the street bob” a beginner bike. Check it out! Thanks for tuning in
Got the chance to sit on one yesterday. Scheduled my MSF course when I left the Harley dealership. Can't freaking wait to pass the class and purchase one!
Congrats! That’s awesome man, best of luck and keep me in the loop on your progress. I remember the same feeling of signing up to learn how to ride
It does fine on the Highway
Mexico is beautiful that time of year 😂😂😂😂
Went by the harely dealership today to ask some questions and see which bike is a good first bike. I walked straight over to the streetbob threw a leg over and fell in love. The dealer then showed me the sportsters and my knees were on level with the handlebars. I'm 17 years old and I have some expirexne riding bikes. Just nothing this big lol but I'm defiantly getting myself a streetbob
Sportster first until you understand torque. The Milwaukee 8 is no joke and its not for a beginner.
Would not recommend this bike as first bike. This bike has mad torque and if you ham fist it you will be in big trouble. Get
Nice lil ride, but yeah I got no fairing on mine and man if it wasn’t for the saddlemen Def fly off from the power. What phone mount are you using?
I feel that! Yea the step up helps a ton paired with the fairing. I’m rocking the Quad Lock
Quad lock is amazing
100/10
I want the stage 3 119 kit for my Softail Standard.
I know the feeling
I’m going to be buying the 2021 street bob within a few months. Any advice or tips? I’m not very well informed on bikes i’m more of a small airplane person. But i love everything about bikes , just curious
Sounds so good 😫
🤘🤘
Are there people that think you can’t go on the highway on a street Bob?
At 80moh you should be on 5th not 6th gear.
I don't understand why people need to ask this question, the 107 or the 114 is more power than any of you will ever really need.
What kind of helmet??
Very nice bike. Any plans on changes/upgrades?
Tons of plans! Mostly performance based but give that some time cause my wallet needs to grow 😂 but def stay tuned and be apart of the build as we grow the channel 🤘
What bike is more similar to the Low rider S....the FAT BOB or the STREET BOB? and WHY? Thank you!!!!
1900cc should def cut it on the freeway lol
Nice bike
Thank you!
I have a 2020 Softail Standard with a stage 2.
Hell yea 🤘🤘
was it tuned? or dynoed?
07 street Bob with 10k miles for $7900. You think that’s a good value given the age??
How stable does it feel at 100mph?
Perfectly stable for me!
How does the front tire handle on higher speeds on the highway? I heard there is some wobble because of the skinny tire.
It’s not too bad, i think having a fairing helps with the wind to the body. But on a clean smooth open road, I may feel it at 115+, on a bumpier/grooved road, It may kick in around 100+. I posted a video on my Instagram of me hitting 120+ 😅 and I’m not wobbling out of control.
I have an 883…my first time hitting 75 it was wobbling. After an experienced rider showed me that my hands and body were causing it by holding on to tight and being scared. Lean forward a little and enjoy. I’ve had mine in triple digits and it doesn’t wobble… no fairing just lean down a little
How much does that bone weigh I have a low rider s with a 114 but I feel like yours would win cause it’s light
My dad had a low rider s and I will say it does feel the same! The only difference to me is in the braking and handling. But racing, all skill haha 😆
how is the wind buffering?
I’m 5,6” and don’t have too much of a problem personally but I’ve talked to other people who are the same height and mention dealing with it. Me personally, It’s been great for me and I don’t see me go up to a 13” windshield (currently 11”)
Wish it had a 5 gallon tank, how do you feel about the tank size?
I wish I had a 5 gal tank. The tank isn’t so bad at moderate riding, but for my riding style, which is a bit aggressive, I can burn through a tank pretty quick. Def one of the down sides to the FXBB
I did a five gallon tank swap on mine. It was a little pricey but surprisingly easy to do.
@@marcogonzalez7323 i
I have a 2020 Softail Standard, and the best thing I’ve done was add a cruise control. Little expensive but well worth it if you have a shoulder problem.
Oooo yea I def want the cruise control
How tall is the windshield?
11” Dark Black Smoke
When I’m riding my 2020 Street Bob on the highway, I feel like I’m bouncing on a pogo stick every time I hit a bump. Do you have a similar experience? Plenty of power for sure, but that rear shock doesn’t seem to keep the bike planted. Could be my weight. I only weigh 165 pounds.
I’m like 125 😅 I don’t have any issues with the bouncing around but I do feel an issue with being more planted to the ground. I’ll eventually upgrade my shocks but nothing too serious now.
Neither my 2020 FXST or my previous 2010 FLSTC liked big holes, bumps, or other bad places in the road. My advice is to miss the bad spot, raise your rump off the seat, or slow down for it. Maybe a bagger would give you the ride you want. I don’t know, as I have never ridden one of those.
P.S. I’m like 260#, so being fat doesn’t help. However, changing the seat helped some because the stock seat sucks.
@@jimmorrison306 bumps on the highways out here are unavoidable. They stretch the entire lane. The suspension is just too fast in the rear. Going to go aftermarket when I get the scratch together
@@rickbradshaw2148, our roads are rough in WV, too. The aftermarket suspension sounds like a great idea.
what its the height of this handlebars? CRAZY BIKE
At this time it was a stock bar with 6” riser that had 2” pullback (bung king)
Florida rider?
He says Illinois fool lol
What gloves are you rocking?
Joe rocket eclipse glove
@@lifeofjustinjames they're nice! Thought they were the thrashin ones that released not too long ago
@@erikmorales7612 haha yea everyone thinks that! They’re literally like $20 gloves I got from my shop. Simple
@@lifeofjustinjames you're right! Lol. I found them on revzilla might have to get me a pair! How's How's velcro on them?
@@erikmorales7612 love em dude. I’ve had so many gloves and these are the daily go to’s. I’ll switch to leather when it gets cold but these are awesome
My 2021 street bob kicks anybody's ass that challenges a race on the freeway. My fastest speed is 112. Felt like 60.....
Oh and...... It tasted like chicken...lol
Haha if you check my Instagram I got a video of me at 125 on the street bob 🤘
If your gonna be a biker lose the phone
