ST all day
I ride the ST and LOOOOOVVVVEEEEEE it
I bought an ST so I’m biased but can’t beat having bags and wind protection
ST and I would totally switch to BaggerBro’s dual gauge set up. I HATE that single digital gauge and I hate not having a tach.
Loveee my ST
My first bike was a 2020 Iron 1200, A few months into riding I came across this channel and fell in love with the Low Rider S. Fast forward three years later and I picked up my dream bike, the 2022 Low Rider S in Gunship Grey and have not regretted it once!
I bought the st. I've ridden a s. The reason I bought the st was because I got saddlebags and fairing for about $2000 more. It seemed like a good deal. And then I learned the saddlebags don't hold much and now I want leather pros. And the fairing works ok but now I want the fxrt fairing because it offers more wind protection and you can add an infotainment unit and speakers. That's about another $4000 so yeah. If I had it to do over again, knowing what I know now, I'd get the S and build the bike I want.........like I'ma do now for $6000 more instead of $4000. 😊
That’s what I did with my S, leather pros and FXRp fairing
@@supersteve7302what faring did you go with? I’m in the market for 2023 low rider S faring
@@cusaris6185 I went with the Klock werks fairing. I think it comes with the best hardware and there is no trimming the fairing, it’s already made for your specific bike
Awesome review, thanks. The Advanblack ST fairing balances things out here to me. Both are awesome options now depending on what gauges and bags you prefer.
Crazy how tastes vary. I'm so into the FXLRS clubstyle. Cool video looking forward to your buds build.
I started with a 2020 Lowrider S. Im on a 2023 ST now. I love it.
How is the wind in comparison?
The sales guy at Harley told me the st is easier to maneuver. Is that accurate?
"I could have tea and crumpets right now" - killing me. Great comparison video. I'd lean towards the ST, but I want gauges and the top loading bags, hate the clamshell style and offset.
Great seeing Bertini back on the channel and looking for his next bike build. I had a 2020 fxlrs and I totally agree with you Michael about the gauge. Can’t wait to see your new bike build content soon. Great video as always Block. 🇺🇸
Plan on doing this same seat time comparison next spring so this video just confirmed that I need to get on both of these bikes.
Bought my Road Glide from Seminole in ‘16. Best dealership experience that I can remember. I’ll head their way again in 3 or 4 years when it’s time to upgrade.
Good to see Bertini back on the channel. My choice would be whatever Michael chooses after the build is done.
The key for me was the gauge on the S which is way better than the tiny digital gauge on the ST. I also prefer soft bags (Leatherpros). AND, here in the Seattle area, the ST was 4K more. I love my S in sand white pearl. Best purchase ever.
Oh yee the gage on ST digital gage is crap had it on my street Bob okay for baby chopper like that but not what you would want for this kind money. And that gage is Vin locked you void any warranty with out legal mileage oem gage game changer
Agree lot S is great I use for work ever day 30miles in bumper to bumber every day and fly right through it don't think could be as fast in traffic st faring for sure my street glide gets me stuck between cars. Having edward richi make me custom detach sissy luggage just for my lunch.
I've a friend who got a LR-S and did the opposite; he got the smaller gauge.
I've a club brother who got an LR-ST & wants the bigger gauge, we're thinking of trading.
I love my Low Rider ST. I didn’t want a touring frame bike and I didn’t want to carry a backpack. This was the absolute perfect in between for me.
After I found out about the Rockford Fosgate system the ST I was sold on the ST, I just had it installed on mine and it’s incredible.
I bought the 2022 Low Rider St. New and love it. I put a tall boy seat and a taller windshield plus 15" rotors on the front. The motor has enough power for me. The 15" rotors make a big improvement on braking.
Love that ST. The different sized saddlebags would drive me crazy though.
I would go for the ST (if I had the money…) such a comfortable ride. Yeah I would change out the gauges right away but man what a bike. Just wish I could afford one right now
Wise choice! I love my ST
I tried both, and while I love the look of the ST fairing I felt there was too much wind buffeting for me at 6'2''. Ended up going with an S as a '23 run-out deal, $7000 under what I would have payed for a '23 ST (danish prices...). And I LOVE the analog tacho on the S.
I APPRECIATE THIS...
65yo broke my back in 2018.... wanting to trade the Mule (17 Streetglide) for a Lowrider....
Bros!! I totally want a road guild and I stopped by Bert’s Black Widow and talked with a salesman and sat on the ST and after seeing this review I’m totally torn! Thanks for the adding to the grief of choices 😂
Brother you have no idea how quick my heart dropped when you put your phone on the tank! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT CASE THAT IS!!!
Just thought I would let you know that you have created a great channel...very professional, very natural and great fun. Feels like real bikers telling it as it is....Nice one
Thanks so much, we appreciate that!
Coming from a YZFR1 to a Low Rider S,(2 months ago) my question is wind? What wind? I don't feel any wind. Forget the fairing, get the bags. I sense some inexperience here.
I ride my bike back and fourth to work weather permitting, all highway for about 45 minutes. Cruising speed with traffic is usually between 75-80, my LRS without a fairing gets to start hurting my back from leaning into the wind. Only longer trips at higher speed are when I have issues. I have an st fairing from advan black on the way
@@Airsoft1199did you get your fairing yet? I ordered mine 2 weeks ago. Just wondering how long the wait is realistically.
This video felt like the old times videos! I enjoyed it a lot!! I would go with the ST probably. Unless the S was clubstyle built
Great demo video! Your Seminole Harley demo videos were instrumental for me to buy my Fat Boy two years ago. More please! Like you said, ride them first to decide what you like. If you get a chance, go to a Harley Demo Days and try them all. I've done that twice now and still walked away knowing that the Fat Boy is what works for me best.
Great video I've been trying to decide
I love my lowrider ST. Went from the fxfb. I love it ! Pegs need to be extended forward. New grips.... I think that's about all.... said no one.
Both are great bikes and it's definitely all about personal preference. Ive always slightly preferred the dxt look over the rt look, but thats likely because the Dyna scene was my introduction to "performance" esque Harleys. While I think Harley knocked the ST fairing out of the park, I still love my fxlrs and have no plans of getting rid of it.
Both are average bikes that the Triumph Rocket3 easily bests in every matrix. Sorry harley dudes. The bikes are torque monsters? Lolololol, how cute
@@jimanders9971 ok
ST stand out bike in Harley’s range, if I wasn’t heavily invested in a sport-glide. I’d buy one tomorrow. Another great video
@blockheadmoto would you say you felt a noticeable difference between the memphis shades fairing and the ST fairing? Please explain your answer.
Im looking tofollow your lead and ditch the softail quarter fairing with taller windshield for the ST fairing.
Was just there today with a buddy told them I was really just there to look around for the day and they helped me with everything I would go there over anywhere else
Regarding the dealers, their attitude can make or break a sale / customer. I've been to some that I would just go hang out on the weekend and shoot the breeze. Very low pressure. That's the dealer I'd buy from. The high pressure places you couldn't force me into again.
I’ve been looking at the LRST and it even fits me well even tho I’m a sawn off. I would need to part ex my Slim which is my first HD and a dream of mine to own. Not sure I can let it go lol. Would love to own a LRST tho. Thanks for the vid.
If you do longer rides, get the ST. If not, LRS. I don’t see much of a difference but $4K more for a fixed fairing and bags.
I come from a FXDX and recently bought the ST. Love it for crushing miles on a sporty mini bagger!
Being of short stature I went with a 2023 S to replace my Nightrod as I like the mid controls over the forward.
love these riding pov videos!
I've been researching between these 2 or a road glide for next year, I plan to ride alot so I'm thinking the ST for comfort, plus the bags for storage and the wife will occasionally ride with which is also why I am considering the road glide, really love the look of the road glide cvo st though also but that price tag 😮
That’s what I did I rode a new street bob and dyna street bob. I went with the dyna because it had that look and sound I remembered from my childhood. I never got all the Harley hype until riding the dyna
I love my Cardo sound system. I do not need the extra weight of a 1990’s boom box. Audio system quickly dates the bike vs not being there. Remember the 8 track, then cassette, etc.
Advanblack sells fairing that drop on nicely. They even make em for street bobs lol
I would have to go with the Lowrider S. I’m just not a fan of that big faring. I actually miss your OG Lowrider S.
Agreed.
Nice, thanks fellas!!!
I'm partial to the lowrider s, but the lowrider s I've been riding it's not normal. It's actually just like goldzilla. Mom won the shadetree surgeon FA lowrider S, so I love ripping around the 131 with the clam shell fairing
I love my '21 FXLRS with its 131, in fact that's how I found you guys and Goldzilla. Have to say the tank mounted gauges are incredibly moronic, especially if your wearing a full face! Dual gauges like Eric's are on my list. I may have to try riding an ST to see what all the fuss about that fairing is about. Thank you guys for another great video, absolutely love your content. Maybe as y'all grow as a shop and channel you can find someone to do your social media so you can focus more on the bikes and we can still see the best damn show on UA-cam 👍 I'll do my part and send y'all a bike to build, maybe a wide tire fxdr or a Breakout. I'll email Justin when I get a plan squared away. Blockhead fam kicks a$$!
I love my ST very much, and mine is white too. What came down to it, I wanted the fairing badly, didn't want the risk of not getting it, and then finally paying a lot to get it paint matched. The bags are awesome but I'm already getting chopped bags from nasty hogs (so great they color match). I test drove the S and road glide ST, put in an order for ST immediately after.
Hope you used our link for Nasty Hogs to get that discount! Their bags are good, been running them for awhile and no issues 👍
Yea white looks best for St, S looks good in White too, my S is black
I'd buy your st bags
@@naythanjones2320 located east coast?
Advan black is coming out with a ST fairing real soon. Plus the inner fairing will be painted. They will sell a ton of them.
When I got my FXLRS, I wanted the ST, simply for the fairing. Wasn't in the budget for me and I've enjoyed the S. I'll figure something out for a fairing, for now the Memphis Shades is on it. But if I'd gotten the ST, I would probably use the bags on occasion, but for just cruising, they'd be off.
Memphis shades fairing looks nicer too
Now you can get Advan black "ST" fairing
Watched your from video again so jelly. I got a road king and love riding.
I bet you can make the kit to mount the st fairing on the s? I’m like him. I like the analog gauge better than the digital.
So, Lowrider ST, built 153ci, 150lbs weight reduction and a Stage 2 Trask Turbo? I bet I beat those 600cc bikes now! 🍻🤘🏼😆
You $40k bike can probably hang with 20 year old $3k cbr600 in a straight line.
Option 3
Road Glide
LRST is bad ass.
117, fairing, don’t weight shit, like a RG Jr ..
but the bags are small and can’t have a pizza box on the back.
I would like to try the ST
I finally did something I been waiting and saving for and bought a brand new Road glide Limited with a 114 . I want to change out the bars foe a set of apes and then of course exhaust
Might be a dumb question but could you explain what the vin lock on the fairing bracket means? Couldn't you just fab your own bracket?
Farings have been growing on me lately. So I think I might have to go with the ST
i got my 2023 LR ST.....looking at yours videos i was ready to get a White sand 2022 Fat bob...but when you mention the low rider st...i change my mind ,,, Low Rider st it is from now on!!!
The fairing is sexy when I get more time on my first bike(2011 wide glide) very possibly my next bike
A family friendly Harley dealership. You can tell as soon as you walk in the door. No price tags to confuse you.
Is the HD windshield and quarter fairing for the LR S worth the money to install, or do you suggest trying to install the fairing from the ST?
Much different feeling behind each, would recommend trying to ride both to see. 👍
Hi 👋, BlockHead , thank you for your, Territorial, very interesting, I am hoping to get another Softail Deuce, I had my first one for 20 years, isss . I had to sell it back in 2019/20 so I could move to France, stay safe, Ride Free, Phil from the moulin France.
At 6ft I tried a low rider st and felt scrunched up so bought a sport glide… I know discontinued in the US but sounds like the perfect bike for you???
The ST for me… but I don’t even own a Harley, so I’d even be happy to start on a sporty iron.
I'm looking at the S, just wanting something to bash on in town, the OG road glide is for everything else.
Great video guys 👍😝 Very helpful, Respect from steve in Bundaberg Australia 🇭🇲🏍🕺🍹
Went and picked up bike this am. Took a ride with 2 baggers, sporty kept up fine. Nice little 20 mile first ride, parking lots don't count. Lol
ST no question, imo the best looking Harley they make right now!!!
My issue with the 2020 s is rear shock does a real number on my back , very unforgiving. ..what's a good upgrade . Thanks
I bought a new Lowrider S last year, being a chopper rider for about three decades I had an aversion for fairings so I chose the S over the ST, and living on an island , however and I have to admit some the fairings now days look pretty cool, I am looking at risers and Memphis shades road warrior, taller risers look funny with the stock fairing, I would make the same choice if I had to do it all over again
Put 12 factory 47 pull back or straight gives that old school cholo vibe. The road warrior is the best had one on my street Bob with out it street Bob is Worthless to ride. But I live at 90 on my S with baby fairing I'm 60 years old and brother won't give up the vibe for small chill.
Appreciate the feedback@@WitheBusiness
Do you know where I can get the OEM White Sand Pearl saddle bags that are on the ST? I bout a WSP S with no bags. Trying to get the OEM bags and can’t find them anywhere.
I'm struggling to decide between these two and the streetbob... i feel like i "need" the fairings but probably don't.... as I'm on a highway like 10-15 max when I ride, and on long rides once every 2-3 months and hardly any highway.
The S all the way for me, I’ll be placing an order late april for a 2024, can’t fkn wait!
Yes! That video i want. I definitely want LR S. Gauges better than digital on bar. I like aftermarket fairing. Not LRST fairing.
Excellent Vid, Guys.
Hey block .... Off topic here totally I know but I was browsing through the content lists for the .... What's missing .... And I saw something that you and the Crew might, ... want to try .....
How about a Loaded-sled pull with the top baggers from HD and Indian... down a Long parking area . Say Thunder strokes against
114's, then 117's and ...?? and well you guys fill in the blanks. Maybe start out with 500# drag-sleds and do a quarter mile pull ???
Just an idea for some content upcoming ....
Stay Safe
So I picked black. I do love black. I did 2 washes and I have swirl marks and scratches everywhere… I used micro fibers and all. I used Meguiars wax and it barley helped. Any hints to keep my bike looking like it came off the showroom floor? Or post a video on how you detail your hogs?
Fck that sucks, I’m getting one next year and that would do my head in.
Thrashin has the bracket available now 🤙🏼
How is the riding position different? Are they not the same aside from faring and bags?
I can’t believe you put @hertwowheels graceful stair clip in yet another video. 🤣
I just can’t make up my mind, I currently have a 2019 low rider standard, absolutely love it, i put on a smaller sporty windshield on it added cruise, so help me out, im ok with the 107, is it worth buying the ST or just add a few improvements to my low rider, the new improved rear shock is a simple plug and play, I can always upgrade the front suspension, I know it don’t have the inverted forks but feel replacing the forks with progressive or something will definitely help the front. I just can’t seem to decide, It’s basically the same bike , forget about the fairing, If I was to buy one without already have mine I would go with the ST and definitely ditch the factory bags, they look like shit and hate the clam shell, would definitely do what you did to goldzilla. Help me out do I start over or just add some improvements to mine???
The advan black road glide hard bags and brackets look way better then the clam shell bags
I rock an s with a russ wernimont txr with Rockford Fosgate and pelican ammo boxes, and let me tell you, its more of the custom look PLUS sound for way less than the premium price of the st
I will be happy to be a person build to build to! ❤
It's pretty much a No brainer I would take the ST. I am curious about the price difference also I would put the speakers in the fairing I love to irritate people with my music I'm a punk
$4000 difference?
I would choose the Lowrider S and in the future add a set of Overwatch bags ($775) and a larger shield / 1/4 fairing.
I just bought me a lowrider ST a couple weeks ago. Love the s*** out of it. What I've noticed it's hard to find a bunch of parts. Because it's a fairly new bike.
Should be all the same parts for the st as the s for the most part
I have a low rider ST, but watching the stock low rider S in action makes me miss mine, ended up keeping the ST over the S
Is the st good for a 6‘1 tall rider? Any problems with the mid controls?
Thx
I really like the digital guage on the new S. Their so sleek and elegantly simple
I still prefer the S over the ST. the "fairing" on the S and FXDR have been plenty for me, enough that i've been able to do 500 miles in a day on my low rider s with no issue.
You did 500 miles in a day on an FXDR?! Gobbless your chiropractor, lol
@@BlockheadMoto nah... 21 low rider s had the 500-mile days 😅 max on fxdr is 300ish in a day
Try a 500 mile day on my iron 1200 ☠️ at least i had a gauntlet fairing... my supwrglide with windshield was broke down
This S faring has a Character that out ways comfort get dam bat wing or shark bike if want tour like we do get second job if you must people.
the only deal breaker thing i dont like about the ST is the small digital display..(having a RGST as well i need information). is the dual gauge thing a factory option..?
I test rode both, then rode the pan am.. walked out with the pan am! So much more comfortable and waaay faster.
Fxlrs for me! Love my machine:)
My dealership said there’s only 1 lower bracket that is vin locked and they use the vin for the color and the rest can be bought from the dealership $2500 roughly to throw a ST fairing on a S
I don’t think that’s accurate, the VIN isn’t used for the color bc the fairings come as raw plastic (no primer / no paint.) Video here: ua-cam.com/video/v78RHRjmUWQ/v-deo.htmlsi=3_L-dcLUpq5EADy8
While the ST fairing is very good. I would prefer the FXR fairing and the FXR division bags.
The S seemed to shake, arms and mirrors, at highways speeds more than the ST. Is that the built is Harley vibration or attributable to wind?
Another ST on the road, Hell Yeah!
Ok real quick I did samething but I bought the S. Yes the speedo is a game changer, and it's totally Vin locked, the St I test drove had bad shifting Trans and other 12:00 and Friday at the plant problem my S was and is perfect machine I love it. Here's the Good news Samsong from Tiland sells a made cline fairing with all hard ware for about 2000 with shipping, I think this bike looks great with bikini faring its a lowrider.
Advant black just came out with st fairing people
There’s a tach on it you just have to hit the selector button from odo to rpm
ST is my dream bike wanted a FXRT Fairing on the OG 110 S for years, then Harley brings one out stock hell yeah, only downside for me is they are asking for 17k extra from the S to the ST in my country damn that's a big difference for what I can tell so far is just bags and the fairing. Is that correct or am I missing some major differences between these models?
What phone case are you using that has the magnet you can put on the tank?
