As a truck driver I appreciate you saying "I get it" at the 9:30 mark. Sometimes our best choice is still not a good one. They are slow and heavy and dont get going very fast.. I can wait minutes to turn with a big line behind me. At some point you just have to turn and hope people understand, we don't like it either. Everything you hate about a big truck we hate 100x more I promise.
For life too.
I bought this exact bike Saturday at Longhorn Harley Davidson in Grand Prairie, Tx. They are delivering it in the morning :) I can't wait to ride my first Harley!!! Watching this video makes me comfortable that I chose the right one. Thanks ♡
Picked mine up from harley yesterday, did 43 miles in 40f weather lol. All I gotta say is I fucking love this bike
Nice!! Any plans for it??
Same!!! Picked one up 3 days ago absolutely loving this bike
It’s amazing traded my 883 iron for it. And wow I love my bike. Added LED lights all around an a swing arm bag. Avon air grips will be here soon. Ride and stay safe bro
Mine is supposed to get delivered tomorrow, can't wait
Picked mine up yesterday. Haven't even put 30 miles on it yet and now it's raining. FML.
Looking to get a new bike this year ,and the street bob is definitely in the running .great video , very informative . Thanks !
New gopro placement is Great! Awesome demo! Im not a speed demon so I’ll probably look for a leftover 2020 or a Standard. Love the classic look on those. Cheers from AZ man!
Great Video , I’m thinking of getting one and you left me with a good impression . Thanks for posting.
I bought my Street Bob in June..I have put 5000 miles on her in over 2 months…it is an incredible motorcycle..closing speed of an F-14 fighter jet..lol🧡🖤
hahaha thats awesome!
I can only imagine being what,two hundred pounds lighter than the Road Glide Special,but still same power plant.Must be amazing.
I have the ‘20 Softail std, love it. Almost bought the sb. I love all the big twins and I came from old Brit bikes. Not used to not breaking down.
I too like the black and orange but the orange on the top of the tank really makes me feel better as it stands out a lot more. My favourite is still the FatBob.
Up to 845 now brother! I watched the first video when you had less than 40... congrats. I like the reviews so keep them coming.
Thanks, Mark!
That is a work of art and it should be QUICK too. And, thanks for listening about the go pro. You’ll get the bugs worked out. I’m liking your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Jay! Hoping to start doing some cool stuff pretty soon.
10:45 - Your access to dealership services without excessive cost is huge. Most of us don't have that luxury. Restricting aftermarket access to tuning that has been on point for years is just a ploy for more money, plain and simple. Standard service intervals, if not done yourself, are already crazy expensive. My Street Bob 1K service was $350. My Honda CB650R 1K service was $125.
The camera hieght is perfect. Beautiful bike
Thank you!
If 2021 wasn't so sensitive, you could make this a cool Dukes of Hazard bike.
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot my login password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Tatum Alexzander instablaster =)
@Ty Rocky i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ty Rocky it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out!
@Tatum Alexzander you are welcome :D
Nice review, i purchased the 21 baja orange bob myself, get a boat load of compliments on the color. Although the mini apes gotta go, im installing a set of hollywood bars from the slim, which gives the bob more of an old school look.
Bought this bike back in 2018 with the 107. I sold it 3 months later and bought a 2019 street glide special. Just sold my street glide ( which I absolutely loved and is my fav bike ever ) because it made financial sense. Was offered alot more then the bike is worth i my eyes. Used it 3 yrs and sold it for almost the same I paid. Now im looking to buy another bike and realize what I really need and the truth is this streetbob is more then I need ( weekend worrier ) and im very familiar and comfortable. I would just upgrade the grips seat and exhaust. And thats that! Will be by the dealer soon.
Can really see his passion for motorcycles..keep it going brother and iam excited to see future stuff
Thanks, Atul!!! Much love.
I can't afford a new bike until my pay raise next year but this is top of my list. I love the clean, simple and timeless lines of it. I'd have it in black with the orange graphics though. How do you think the stock bar and peg combo would work for a 6'2" relitivly slim rider? Should I look at forward pegs?
Had one now for over a year awesome bike.
new GoPro placement is perfect now, Good job :-)
Was perfect, it fell off on one of the last videos hahahaha. We gonna get there one day man. lol
I love all the colors that come on this bike. I feel like this will attract a lot of younger riders who don’t want to spend low rider S/Fat bob money. As far as the tuner issues it’s a little annoying but i get it emission laws are getting tougher and tougher.
Exactly!
It's pretty cool to see local motovlogs 🤙
Thanks man! Are you from Anderson? Also are you still doing motion graphics? Your work looks awesome but noticed you haven't uploaded in a while.
I've been living in Anderson for about a year now. I still do motion graphics, I only stopped posting because I started focusing more on graphic design. I'll be moving towards in March so the next month and a half I'll be a little short on time but I'd like to help you out however I can.
I currently ride a Indian Scout Bobber and I have a Indian Chief Darkhorse on order but man these HD Street Bob 114s are very nice.
Camera position seems much better! I don't think the FLSL has the 114 option yet. I have a '19 Slim so I haven't looked at the new ones yet but last I heard they weren't getting the 114. Not that they need it lol. My dad has been riding for thirty years and he always says my bike is too fast for him. I always make the argument that it stops way better than his Panhead or his '03 Ultra but he doesn't want to hear any of that. Thanks for the awesome reviews!
You are right!! I forgot about that. Good catch! Yeah it doesn't need anymore power. I wonder why they didn't do it though? Not like the Street Bob needed it either. Maybe trying to keep cost down on the Slim? Thanks for watching!
Great video thank you I use an external microphone and you have to get the microphone adapter to the GoPro. I tuck the mic inside my full-face helmet. This way it cuts the wind noise and still picks up the engine sound.
Awesome. Which mic are you using?
@@throttleblip9854 I bought a cheap one from Amazon and I am looking for a better one now. What you want to get is a lavalier type microphone with a 3.5 mm jack. Make sure you get the jack that has 2 black stripes on it and not 3 stripes. The 2 stripe one works with the GoPro mic adapter. You have to get the adapter from GoPro and it costs about $50. The problem with the mic adapter is that you have to leave the side cover open while the adapter is plugged in. No big deal unless you are riding in the rain. I am still new to working with these GoPros. You then have to tape all the wires from adapter and microphone to your helmet. Some people recommend using gaffer tape instead of duct tape because it is not as gooey. Also you will want to use a "dead cat" to cover the mic. It looks like a fuzzy ball that cuts out wind noise. Capturing good audio while riding can be a challenge so it is kind of a trial and error thing.
@@throttleblip9854 i would recommend purple panda mic
If my Road Glide was paid for I'd be all over one of these! But only as a second bike I ain't giving up my Glide!
Hey there....Great vid, Got a question. Will The last year's model of Harleys SE Auto tune work on the 21 Street Bob . Just bought the Street Bob 114 a month ago and am slated to get the Stage 1 installed. Thx
i used to ride kawi sportbikes in my 20s took 12 years away from bikes. This bike is looking like my gateway back to motorcycles. Just not aure if i should buy a 2018-2019 with a few miles and ad ons for 12-13k or this new for 16k. love the green!
I'd say let it come down to a few things. warranty. If thats important to you, Harley does 2 years and unlimited miles. The 114 can be upgraded to the 131 soooo keep that in mind. haha
I went to the Dealer and test rode the 107 Slim. I'm a bit too big and didn't much like the riding position. Sat on the 2021 Heritage and that thing is so comfortable. Did sit on the Street Bob. Like the difference in foot mounting position. Nice bike. Very comfortable. The Sport Glide a little different again, but so nice. Really, they all offer something for everyone. My only complaint is the price. :P
Yeah the slim has the lowest seat height of any bike. Bars are also pretty unique. I rode one 160 miles round trip and the seat was awful.
I could easily do that trip on the heritage no big deal.
Yeah you’re telling me. But I guess that’s life. When I was in high school my dream truck was 40k fully loaded. Same truck today is 75-78k. 🤦🏻♂️
I think the chest mount is good for bikes without fairings. But want to get on a bike with the fairings, it's hard to really see anything.
It's hard did suggest wind noise options without knowing what GoPro you are running. I know for some models they make a foam cover, that goes over the entire GoPro to help eliminate wind noise. I believe some of the models also have electronic wind noise reduction settings. Otherwise, you may have to get external mic with the dead cat to get rid of the wind noise, but it should still capture the engine noise.
I have been enjoying your videos. The walk around and test rides on the 2021 models have been great to watch.
Thanks for the positive feedback man! I think a lab mic and deadbeat is my best bet. I'm using the 7 Black and will probably get a second one of those for another angle.
Love the new paint and that it has the 114 but the 3.5 tank and the small display is a no go, i'll keep my dyna version with the SE 110 tire shredder kit!!!
Can't say I blame you one bit on that one!
Yes that small tank hurts but love the bike
Just got mine Saturday. Can't wait for the snow to be gone
Nice! Which color did you get??
@@throttleblip9854 I got the all black with orange accents on the tank
@@throttleblip9854 have you guys figured out any tuning options yet or know if hard backs meant for the 18-20 fit? Harley says no but they'll do anything to keep charging me money
Check back on the channel in about an hour, may be dropping a quick video just for you. 😉
@@throttleblip9854 that just got ya a subscription. I'm still pumped. This is my first ever brand new vehicle period. I was gonna get a 2020, but lost my job due to covid. I'd say with that 114, I lucked out
Hey, I am enjoying the content. I hope to start a channel of my own at some point. In watching many other Moto Vloggers on UA-cam I believe you need to get an lapel mic and route it inside the helmet and then use a dead cat which is one of those fuzzy looking mic covers and it will really reduce the wind noise. I think a lot of people use the Purple Panda Mic
Exactly what I’m going to try. I’m just worried not only will it block wind but also the engine sound. Not that these stock bikes make much sound anyway but I’d like to capture a little.
@@throttleblip9854 on most videos I feel like you still get a good amount of Engine and Exhaust sound even with the mic inside the helmet.
Very nice review...
One of the bad things is i really don't like the ODO Controls which are digital and seems they don't even exist on the Motorcycle...
It would've been wonderful if the ODO Controls were mounted just like the old Fatboy bikes..
In any case i buy this bike, it is possible to switchover to old school ODO metres mounted on the top of the tank???
Was going to get a street glide, but as a sportster fan i think I'll have a lot more fun on the street bob.
Idk if you tried the wind reduction mode on the go pro but i believe 8 and up have it.
Wow this bike is awesome. Wanted to know what size handle bars are these?
i got the white one, but man it’s pretty cool in the orange. i really like all the colors it comes in really, tough choice!
Same! And there is a new color coming for 2022.
How does someone choose between this and something like the softail slim? I am having a hard time figuring out which one would be a better fit for me. Would you say the Softail is more comfort, and this is more for cutting up curves?
Hey there. Which did you choose?
How would this do for a new rider? Looking for the most bang for my buck. I travel a lot between Greenville SC, Charleston SC and Gastonia NC and looking for something that I could grow into and take on longer rides.
I’ve owned a couple of bikes with no front fairings and honestly my Street Bob 114 is the hardest one to ride long distances if I plan on going over 65mph. I had a 09 Crossbones (similar mini apes) and it was so much smoother to ride. Plus you only have a realistic range of 150 miles with the 3.5 gallon tank.
It may feel much better with a front fairing or windscreen but I’m fine with my shorter rides to work for now.
That thing sounds awesome
Will this be available in performance packages? Say a stage 2?
Man that thing is gorgeous.
I would love to be able to see the road ahead while you ride, instead of the gas tank and bar of the bike. Maybe is because you are constantly watching your speed or the gopro is tilted down.
Perfect nice job!
They just put some nice parts on this bike!
Love the Colour 🧡
Green looks sweet
Tilt the camera a little higher. Wind noise, you may not want to go to this extreme but this is my set up.
Go pro with mic adapter, mic with furry wind sock mounted inside helmet, a separate sound recorder with microphone and wind sock. The mic for the separate recorder is mounted close to the exhaust. I make a clap or loud noise so I’m able to sync the audio tracks in the editor.
You’re doing voice over after the fact so I would still do the mic adapter, a good mic, and the furry wind sock.
Morning everyone. I'm totally new to the bike world. I'm searching for a bike, but there are so many. I like something like a cruiser/bobber. What bikes would you recommend.
Ps: this bike cost 19.5k in my country. Is that worth it?
thx in advance
For the wind issue you can get a dead cat( a fur like thing you put over the mic, and yes the name is like that 😂)
Would this be a good first bike for a beginner rider? 54 years old and just starting out.
How do you think the bike would handle a bigger guy 6’ 270
Next year this model will have the sportsters tft display to match the dark horse watch. Going to hold out
source?
would this be a good beginner bike? tnx!
This video is the reason I bought this exact same bike ! Love it Baja orange is sick in the flesh!!
That’s awesome!! Big fan of the SB.
I saw a black one today Allready sold out they might get some later in April but they might list them so who is on the list gets first pick just like 80s
Really like this bike a lot, but I’m gonna wait for 2022 Indian Chief Bobber. Seems like so much more bike for the money
I've never ridden the Indians. I wish I had access to them so I could do some comparison videos.
Harley - Davidson Number 1.🌎🏍🇺🇸🦅
#Freedom.🗽❤
What I max speed of this bike?
Does this bike have a gear indicator?
Nice job! How tall are you? I'm 5ft 10 even lol
I would probably do 8 or 10 inch kraus t bars
Your thoughts on fitment? Thanks
I'm 5'11'' and would def do the 10'' just based on my riding style.
Im 5"11 as well and i'm considering 12in pullback t bars or 10in standard t bars. With the Memphis shade fairing going on its going to look sick. I will say the stock mini apes are actually very comfortable, so new bars are not a huge priority but it's on the list.
My fiance is 6' 4" and can fit on it comfortably lol...jk! I am 5' even and it's an awesome fit for me :)
Awesome looking bike, just not caring for spoke wheels too much
Mine will be changed out asap. Delivering mine in the morning. Sooo excited!!!
@@dreamer70101 how are the mags, wanna change mines too
I want one!
Buy this one!
I’ve got a 107 on my Slim and think the 5 gal. tank could be bigger.
Did Slim get 114? That'd make three that didn't get the 114. Slim with 114 and a wider back wheel would be amazing!!
It did not. Someone else pointed that out also. Definitely need to go up a tire size with the 114.
Nice View of the Gas Cap..the Bike is Alright too..
Thanks 👍
@@throttleblip9854 WELL DONE CHAMP..
Matt Laidlaw puts a microphone on the rear so you can really hear the bike.
Thats a good idea!
How can harley stop after market companies from designing and selling tuners for this bike?
There are kind of furry covers for microphones. Those damp the wind noise. The longer the "hair" the better.
Street bob or low rider s?
Take a dead cat mic cover cut it up and stick it around the go pro mic
boy sure would be less wind noise with the chest mount..... just saying... might see the bike more too....
@gopro sponser me. lol
almost need a piece of tape or somthing on mic to cut down wind noise
I wonder how it’s going to feel when it gets the 131 in it?
Haha we were talking about that at the dealership. Someone would get hurt on that thing! We plan on doing a big motor on a softail but not sure what size or what bike yet. I'm pushing for a 131 on the Fat Bob but someone is voting Street Bob so we will see.. Gotta wait on Harley to make a tuner for us first lol
@@throttleblip9854 that was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw they put the 114 in lol
I'll stick with my trusty 92 Softail effe!!!!!
Wait, does that mean the Softail Slim also has the 114? I thought they were also still a 107?
Nope! I messed that up! I doubt the Slim will ever get the 114. Sadly.
@@throttleblip9854 ohh okay, I thought for a moment that maybe the Canadian model didn't get a 114 and I missed something or was going crazy haha
Nice just pd off my 2015 street
That's a good feeling!
I have a 19 street bob. If you aren’t prepared for big bumps, they will jar you!
Would you consider changing the suspension? I've ridden a good big on Ohlins and Legend suspension and the difference over stock is crazy.
Who at HD voted for the zip tie on the handle bars?
"new for '22, HD proprietary wheels sizes! know you're getting the best, when only HD brand tires fit your bike!"
Hahahahaha that will be the day they lose me!
Is that true?
I want to like it but the no ABS is a deal breaker for me.
I'm not against ABS but also not the biggest fan. There may be times I want to lock the rear up and I'd like to think I can avoid it when I don't want to.
wow those camera angles really have you feeling down huh?
It's never ending lol
I like the chest rig better!
Don’t do that to me Sam! I do too! Haha.
I need Gopro to sponsor the channel I’ll just run 11 of them haha
how about learning how to focus the cam, the can is pointing to the handlebar.
Is this a good beginner bike
Definitely
👌😎
5 gallon tank and this would be perfect
Yeah I've heard a lot of people say thats the only fault with the Street Bob is the fuel capacity.
Sweet you and the sales guys all dogged the motor before it got broke in properly...
Ohh no it's new sir... Only 14 miles on it just a couple of test rides...
Ya cause the sales team didn't rev it out 😂
I'll keep my 17 FXDLS.
I would too.
Good Position for the Camera.✔👍👍👍☺
Good to hear...finally. lol
@@throttleblip9854 😆😆😆 Keep in main that whe U accelerats U lean foward thys yohr C. angle drops ! Live Free and Ride...👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍
what does fxbbs mean
Just the way Harley does model designation.
Cam... n polly it. Or. Least do. Stage. 1
stage 1 is a must on every bike in my opinion. Stage 2 or 3 even better.
3 Softails don't have the 114. Love the Baja Orange!
Yeah we established that several times here. 🤣🤦🏻♂️. I doubt the Slim will ever get it, but as you know, I’ve been wrong before. Hahaha
If I was only 30 years younger
This will make you feel like you are! haha
Eventually, they will figure out some of us like our chrome. Anyway, they must think we like these black bikes... nope, we don't.
Oooops no aftermarket tuner , that's BS . HD just went down a couple a notches .
inverted forks and more gas but wait then it would be a lowrider s
hahaha and dual disk front brakes lol
And standard issue Converse and flannel.
get someone to hold the cam up
this is not bike for a biggener unfortunally to fast i love HD but i have to chose another one maybe 650 or 750
The tanks too small
