2020 Harley-Davidson Street Bob | Fused Bars | Whiplash Speed Co Slipstream Seat | FXBB
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- I’m just showing my bike because I had numerous people asking about the new Harley-Davidson Fused Handlebars, the size, height and quality of the bars themselves. I also go over a few small mods like the Whiplash Speed Co. Slipstream seat, LED running lights and blinkers, and the motorcycle accident with scratches/scuffs and dings. I will upload another video when I get those parts replaced and show the mods I do to my Harley-Davidson Street Bob FXBB.
If you want to see that video down the road let me know and I will continue to make some videos. This is my 1st attempt of a video on UA-cam so just bare with me if it’s bad.
I hope you enjoy the video and get some info for the Harley-Davidson Fused Handlebars for the Street Bob FXBB.
Thanks for watching!
I wanted to let people know that the width of the bars from middle grip to grip is 28”, this is the same as the reach from the middle of the seat.
I was just about to ask this, thank you. Sharp looking bike, I will be looking at these in the future. Is the slip stream lower than the stock seat height?
@@spittin_sparks it’s about the same, maybe slightly taller but not by much and I think it’s because the Whiplash seat has a better more quality density foam that’s used and the leather makes it a bit firmer, but it’s comfortable as hell and it changes the entire feel of the bike from that cheap, slippery stock seat. The stock seat is absolutely useless and if you ride on the freeway with the stock seat you’re not really riding the bike as much as you’re holding on for dear life and it can get a bit hairy at higher speeds.
Just bought these after watching your review, thanks! Also I gotta ask where do you get and what do you call those shock covers?
I have a '22 and above the front suspension sleeve is chrome it'd be nice to get em black like yours.
@@jamesl.4781 Hey James, I just got some glossy vinyl sticker/wrap, measured and cut to size and wrapped that chrome area. It’s just an easy aesthetic fix! Hope that helps! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Those look so much better then t-bars in my opinion
After the install the bike looks amazing and they charged 2.5 hrs total was 750.00 bars and cables and rewired and complete job. Flipped my turn signals probeams installed
They charged you 2.5 hours on a street bob for complete bar swap?
Looks great, have had the mini traditional apes for years but now having these put on my 2003 Fatboy. I find apes are a must if you are 5'10'' and above, I'm 6'4'' and the Kuryakyn 3 inch forward control kit + their floorboard 1 inch forward and out clamps + extended Brake arm + extended Shifter = tall guy riding comfort such huge differences tweaking your rider triangle.
Facts!
Got the same on my 2019 Fat Boy. I'm 5 foot 9. It looks very good. Looks and makes me feel badass. However it does not feel extremely relaxed in the stretched hands up high position I must say, but I can hold on longer than with the stock handlebar. The latter feels more relaxed strangely but makes my elbows and hands ache much sooner. Strangely the wind does not have any increased effect with the much higher bars, at least for me. The Fused feels and, as you showed, are much taller than the 13 inch Harley says on their website.
They look so good🙏🏻 Would love to see a video where you sit on the bike and where you ride it. Very good and informative video by the way😄
Thanks man! Appreciate it! I think I will be doing another video here in the next couple weeks after I get my bike fixed from it being backed into in a parking lot. I think I will end up doing a Stage 1, so new exhaust, air cleaner and tune and depending on how much cash I have left over I might try to squeeze a Stage 2 out of it with a few other smaller mods.
But I’ll see what I can do with the riding part, I have an older GoPro so maybe I’ll try to get some riding content when that time comes!
Oakland ca harley friggn rocked it.
Hey man I just installed this bars on my 2020 Fxbb and let me tell you I couldn’t be happier man love this bars !! Thank you 🙏🏽 for you’re help brotha.
No worries man, I was in the same position and just pulled the trigger because the bars were so new and I couldn’t find anything online about them so I made the video for people like you. The bars are great and I’m glad you love them! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
I have the same bike. Did you have to extend the brake line?
Thanks just ordered for 2022 Street Bob!
Nice video. You should do some more!
I’m waiting on my 2021 Street Bob to come in.
Bars look sick bro I might do these also, I also have a 2020 street bob, I like your seat too, I got some shorty exhaust tips from Amazon for $100 they sound decent way better than stock and doesn’t break the bank for meanwhile.
Thanks brotha, I just did a stage 2 with the torque can on my bike so I got a TBR exhaust for a good deal and saved around $175 on it brand new. But the seat and bars made a HUGE difference for comfort on the bike, I think a good seat is the first thing I’d do on any Harley because it makes a huge difference.
@barbermilton can you put the link for those exhaust tips on here?
@@shorebreakbob bro Im 40 and not that smart on how to do that 😆 but they are by radiant cycles shorty gp exhaust type in street bob Fxbb they’re $109.99, on Amazon, hopefully that helps if not lmk I can shoot you a screenshot thru IG
Great video Mr Sharp, i love that seat. Kind regards.
Thanks! It’s such a great seat and I’m super happy with it! It’s my favorite thing I’ve done to the bike because it made a huge difference in comfort and enjoying the ride more. I just put a Stage 2 in the bike and there’s just no way I would be able to stay on the stock seat. Thanks for the kind word and I’m glad you enjoyed the video?
🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Thanks Mr Sharp, its great advice for me too, I’m taking delivery of a new 2021 street bob next week. I love that classic look.
@@beans4491 nice! That 114 is really nice and I wish I would have waited, but I’m happy with my bike and what I’ve done to it so far. It’s a great bike with the right mods and the seat should definitely be your first modification! Congratulations and enjoy your new ride when you take delivery!
Great video bro, bars look awesome. would love to see a video of you on the bike
Thanks man, appreciate it! I’ve been wanting to upload a new video for awhile but I’ve had some family issues and my father passed away a few weeks ago so it’s been tough and I’ve been putting it off. But now that it’s nice in AZ I’ll try to put out another video and I’ll have some riding parts in it!
@@TaterGrabbinBass sorry to hear about your father brother. Going off your review I went ahead and got these bars put on my bike when I bought it. I pick it up next week I can’t wait.
@@marcfinno4849 awesome! They’re great and you won’t be disappointed!
I went with the fat drag bars and fat risers and the 66 collection hand grips.
looks great
Thanks!
Great video. I’ve been driving myself crazy trying to decide on which bars l want to put on my 06 Street Bob. I hadn’t seen those before. I’m pretty sure those are considered 14”. I believe they measure from the top of the bar, by the riser to the highest point. Thanks again.
they are actually 13.1" rise
TY im now gonna buy these bars..
Awesome! They’re great bars, when I saw them on the H-D website they looked great but the H-D website had no real info on them and nobody at the dealership or in the parts area knew much about them so I went in kind of blind with my purchase and it ended up being a great choice. That’s why I put the video out, so other can get a better idea of what they’re getting since Harley didn’t take the time to put specs out on them.
Thanks for watching!🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
perfect video. make more
Thanks man! I hope to soon since the AZ summer is finally over!
Just be careful with the spoke covers everyone’s running them but don’t think about water getting in them and rusting the spokes out faster or making them look worse underneath
I don’t ride the Harley in the rain and there’s not very much rain in Phoenix. I don’t even think I’ve even sprayed the bike down because I usually use ammonia free window cleaner and aerosol quick wax to clean the bike.
Looks great. I just ordered these. I’m stoked. Question, how did you black out the brine front forks?
Did you say 2 hours.? Harley in my town says 10 hours for any bars installed no matter what size friggin joke
Ya man, 2 maybe 3hr max. You personally could install your bars in 10hr or less, and usually Harley charges like $75-$100hr for installation and it gets pricey. But you could shop around and find a shop that will be honest and reasonably priced, and it’s best to find a good honest shop that you can start a good relationship with and be a loyal customer and if your buddies need work and send them to the shop it helps too and they start giving you some good benefits. Good luck with finding a good shop! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Bike looks hot
Great looking bike!! I’m excited for the Mods your planning. Kudos on the seat too. I went with the Gambler from whiplash for my FXBB. I’m super happy with that seat. What’s your experience?
Thanks man! And what do you mean by “what’d you’re experience”? My riding experience or my experience with the seat?
If you’re asking about the seat, I absolutely love it! I’ve had people comment that they love it too because it’s not a Saddlemen Step Up like a lot of people have, and I’ve actually sent about 3-4 people to buy seats from Carlos at Whiplash, he’s a great guy and super easy to work with! Highly recommended company!
@@TaterGrabbinBass yeah I meant with the seat. Same here man. I wanted something that not everyone had. Best purchase for me by far. Keeps me in the saddle and it’s very comfortable for me even on longer rides. Plus local, Vet owned company, huge plus.
@@thehomerperspective5782 1000% agree with all of that! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Super interested in this look. Although I’m riding a 2018 you think that would work?
It’d work, if you have a 2018 Street Bob they are identical.
Ii
Going to put this on the list
Flip those mirrors and it’s perfect 👌
Not a fan of the flipped mirrors, I flipped them for a day and put them back because they were useless.
Hey brother awesome bike question for you sir did these risers come from Harley or where did they come from?
They’re stock, they weren’t changed.
How tall are you? I’m 6’1 and I have 13 inch T-Bars, with barely any pull back. Do you feel stretched out with that seat? Does it sit you lower and more back from stock? I just don’t want to be too stretched out. I’m sick of The stock seat. I feel like I’m going to blow off the back when I’m doing 70+
I’m also around 6’1”-6’2”, It’s about the same as stock but it has that wall and it’s far more comfortable than the stock seat, it also makes it like you can actually control the bike and being on the freeway isn’t you just hiding on for dear life like that stock seat. It’s my favorite add on so far because it really changes the feel of the ride.
Those are badass bars, are those straight from harley?
Ya, they’re the H-D Fused bars.
Did you look at the fat chiseled bars too when making your choice of bars? Great looking street bob.
Ya, I did look at those bars. I like how they look at the top but the bottom of those bars didn’t fit the bike. The bottom bar is wider that the forks are and that bothered me a bit, that’s why I chose the Fused because they fit the lines of the bike so well.
great video mate; did you happen to get a parts breakdown from your dealer? I'm interested to find out what part number you had installed for the:
-Upper clutch cable
-upper brake line
-Twist grip sensor extension kit
-switch wire extensions
-turn signal wire extensions
Your video is great for visualizing what it looks like, I just need to compare it to a parts list now. cheers
Thanks man! No I don’t have that breakdown on hand but if you go to your local Harley-Davidson dealer they’d be able to hook you up pretty quickly. I had the bars built into the payment when I got the bike and they took care of that along with the forward controls.
@@TaterGrabbinBass is the part number printed on the upper cables? I'm hoping it is. sorry to pester you about it, but it's be super helpful if you could check. cheers
@@jakeoconnell1787 no, there are no art numbers on the cables. They come in bags with the part numbers. The stickers were also taken off the cables and I don’t know if they had the number on them but those were taken off when I picked the bike up. Just check or call Harley, they’ll know exactly what you need.
@@TaterGrabbinBass the part numbers are literally stamped onto HD clutch cables in white lettering. If you run your fingers down the cable you can feel the bumps from the embossed numbers. Should be 3700XXXX something. Guaranteed
Im getn the 12 in fused with my 21 streetbob.. they charging 2100.00 for the install at oakland harley shop. Charging 7hrs of labor for the install. Wtf. Right.
Wow, that seems a bit high. I think I’m total for labor it was 4hr for my bar install @ $100 per hr labor. And since they were built into my purchase I got a better deal. If I was you I’d try to do them myself or find a small local shop to help install them so you can save money and buy some other things for your bike. I hope you like the bars, because I really like mine! Good luck brother!
🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Would you by any chance know the information regarding the wall thickness. Are they using 0.120 think walled ?
I have no clue about that, they’re a H-D part so I’d assume whatever thickness they use for their bars goes for all the newer bars they sell.
I have a Saddlemen Renegade Solo seat on mine.
Nice! How do you like it? Ya, the solo seat it came with from the factory was probably the worst thing ever! It was slippery and at freeway speeds I felt like I was holding on instead of actually riding the bike. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
@@TaterGrabbinBass The seat i have sits me lower and further back. It's brown leather.
@@MrPAULONEAL that’s what I needed too, and the Whiplash I have did just that plus it holds me in and I can ride the bike hard if I wanted to and feel safe on the freeway. That stock seat that cane with the bike was the bottom of the Harley-Davidson barrel. I’ve kept my old seat an I will one day use the seat pan and create my own custom seat with it. It’ll likely come out something like your Renegade and will be 100% tailored to me and how I like it.
Your clutch cable is pretty long? Is there a reason for the longer cable? Looks like its rated for a 16" bar for the future use possibly.
I don’t know about the cable, I think it’s because the bars are 15” so it’s in between 14”-16” so it’s an odd bar height. A lot of Apes you see they have crazy cables but it’s better to have a little more than less.
@@TaterGrabbinBass is there any way you can tuck them in or hide them. To clean up the look?
@@adminadmin9997 not those cables, you may be able to get a shorter one but I’m not a mechanic so you’d have to ask those people.
Thanks for your video, what about the electrical wires? Do the stock ones fits those bars? thanks again
I’m not sure about the electrical, but you need new brake & clutch cables so I’d assume you’d probably need electrical but I might be wrong. I’d ask Harley if you need those. Sorry I couldn’t be more help and give you a better answer.
@@TaterGrabbinBass Thx, will ask if needed !
Thanks for the vid, considering these bars for my bike. What's the width across from handlebar end to handlebar end? Does it feel wider or similar to stock mini apes?
They’re the same width as the stock, they feel different because they’re significantly taller than stock and depending on where you like your bars will also make a difference on how they feel. I have pushed mine forward since that video because I did a tank lift so it gives it more of an old school bobber kind of look. I will be doing another video here soon going over what I’ve done to the bike, most are performance mods but I’ve done a few little cosmetic mods as well.
The stock minis just feel and look cheap, they’re 1” compared to the 1.25” thickness of the fused, plus I have poly bushings so they feel a bit firmer compared to the cheap rubber bushings on the stock minis.
@@TaterGrabbinBass thanks for the info! I had heard that they might be slightly narrower, so happy to hear at least same width. Look forward to seeing your next vid!
How u like the handling of the fowards any pros and cons?
I got them for comfort, the mid controls for me cramped me up and made my hips hurt after a ride, forwards vs mids is a personal preference and there’s a lot of variables that go into switching them. Height, inseam, leg length, will you take the bike on long ride or is it a city cruiser/bar hopper. If you have the right seat it will make the bike handle like a new bike. After I put the Whiplash seat on it totally changed the handling of the bike because I can ride it harder without feeling like I’m going to slide off or hang on for dear life when you do 80 on the freeway. The seat makes a huge difference, the controls have more variables and either you like them or not. I love them, I’ll sell my mids because they’ll never go back on the bike as long as I have it.
How did you black out the upper forks? Looks good dude!
Thanks! It’s just a cut piece of gloss black vinyl wrap I had, I also put some on the shift linkage too. It just blacks out the bike a little more and is an easy solution.
How did you black out the forks ?? I know the top part next to the headlight is polished
I had some gloss black vinyl laying around and I just measured, cut and applied it to that area. I also did it for the shift linkage. It’s just a cheap easy way to black those areas out to keep that blacked out theme of the bike.
You can buy spoke wraps,they come in a lot of colors.
Hey bro do you have a part # on those bars my Harley shop don’t know about them I said they’re new but maybe with a part # it would be easier?? Thanks
Part Number: 55801015 - For the chrome Fused handlebars.

@@TaterGrabbinBass ok thanks a lot man I’m gonna get the black ones so maybe this will help them thanks again
How much higher are they compared to the stock handlebars? Deciding if it's gonna be too high and uncomfortable for me. I'm 6ft
I’m a little over 6’1 and they’re WAY more comfortable, the stock bars are absolute trash. I don’t remember the stock height but all the info and measurements are in the video.
Bike looks great. R those the RRI turn lights?
I’m not sure, I got them at the Harley Dealership near me but they’re an aftermarket LED. I had some super small Drag Specialties signals I was going to put on but they were going to be hardwired in and I didn’t really want to do that at the time so I told them to go ahead and put these in. I forgot the name of them though. They’re very similar to the RRI and they’re super bright. I have a buddy who runs the RRI’s and they looks damn near the same at night but mine were about $15-$20 cheaper.
@@TaterGrabbinBass good to know thx. I just picked up th RRI for my gd bike. First thing to do come spring
@@christer-c-knee8021 right one man! Ya when it gets dark those white bright LED’s help other drivers see you coming and they are definitely bright enough that they will see you from a pretty good distance. I’ll be replacing my rear taillights with some LED’s and smoked lenses to keep the blacked out theme of my bike. And when I get my bike back next week from the shop I think I will be making another video soon after showing what new mods I’ve done to the bike. I have to wait for a few things to come in the mail that I will be installing myself but the bike will definitely look and sound much different than it did in this video. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
@@TaterGrabbinBass I'll b keeping an eye out!!. Bright lights and loud pipes!!
@@christer-c-knee8021 yesssir!!! AND YOU KNOW THISSS... MAAANNNN!!! 🤘🏼
Where you get the spoke covers? Bike looks great.
I got them on eBay, they’re a cheap cosmetic mod but it’s a bitch to put them on and your fingers WILL be sore after. 😂🤣
I also wanted to see what the wheels looked like with fatter spokes because I will eventually get new wheels. But they look great and cover up dirty spokes because I’m too lazy to clean them.
@@TaterGrabbinBass have you checked put the dark bronze mags wheels on the low rider S. I think that would look dope on that bike. I seen guys add them. Swapped out the spacer and bearings.
@@adminadmin9997 ya, I’ve seen that. That’s not my style and I’m not a fan of that bronze wheel. I like spoked wheels, fatty spokes or maybe a fat cast “spoked like” look. But if I wanted to put wheels from a Low Rider S then I would have most likely bought a Low Rider S. Also, you could just ask questions in 1 comment instead of 20 separate comments.
All modifications to whatever bike you have will always be personal, I’ve had 8 bikes and everything I put on them or do to them is for me, the look I want to achieve and the performance I’m looking to get. I don’t need the fastest bike, the most flashy bike, it just has to look good to me and suit my needs me make me feel good when I walk away from it. That’s why I didn’t go with the Saddlemen step up, everyone has that seat plus for my size it just didn’t work out for me just like the forward controls and bars. I have long legs and arms those mini apes were ok but they weren’t nearly as comfortable as the ones I put on. I could have went even a little taller but I think anything taller would throw the lines off the bike for me. I’ll probably do a small tank lift so the tank flows with the seat, I’ll get a sissy bar because I’m taking a 3000-3500mi road trip and I need the bar, plus I’ll get some highway bars and rear passenger pegs so I can switch positions on long rides without cramping as much. Again, all personal preferences that meet my needs and serve a function/purpose what what I’m going to be using the bike for.
Does your street Bob have ABS? Harley says these handlebars are only for ABS equipped bikes. Not sure why that’d be.
No, my bike does NOT have ABS. There’s no reason for a handlebar swap to affect ABS because it has nothing to do with the ABS. The length of the clutch and brake cable need to be longer but nothing to do with the ABS system. ABS on a bike like this is pretty useless in my opinion, it’s more useful for sport bikes and heavier bikes with more power.
@@TaterGrabbinBass thanks brother. Appreciate the response.
can you tell me where you found the forwards? seems kinda hard to find. thanks
They are from Harley, I had them put them on before I even picked up the bike. You can find the part number and all that good stuff on the H-D website.
Quantas polegada tem a grossura do guidão ?
Did u have to get longer cables aswell
I’m not 100% sure, but I believe they had to replace the brake cable and they factory clutch cable worked without having to change them. I think you can go to the H-D website and it’ll tell you what you need for the bars, or a quick call to your local H-D dealer and talk to parts and they’ll tell you. Sorry I couldn’t give you a 100% answer. Good luck and thanks for watching!
They sell wire extentions I belive 9" for the throttle, signal and switches
I have a 2022 Street Bob and am thinking about getting a whiplash seat. Is there any space between the gas tank an front of the seat.
I'm a little concerned with the seat contacting the tank.
It’s an absolute perfect fit, it fits like OEM and the seat is made better than OEM Harley seats.
@@TaterGrabbinBass dose the seat touch the gas tank? I'm concerned with paint damage and premature wear to the front of the seat. I am going to have to get another seat. You wack the gas on this little red beast, and you're pulling yourself back on the seat every gear.
@@charlesharper7292 it barely touches the tank and it causes no damage, if that’s your concern then you might as well just get a bobber seat and it won’t touch anything. If your concern is to get a better seat than the stock POS then it’s just 100000% better in every way, shape and form.
@@TaterGrabbinBass yeah, I'll probably take a chance on the seat from Whiplash rather than the Saddlemen seat. Just that abrasion at those areas could damage a five hundred dollar seat, and the paint on a fourteen hundred dollar tank. But yeah the stock seat looks good, comfortable? So so. I've had worse but if you ride on the agresive side, your really tugging on the bars to stay planted. It's gotta go. I'm doing basic performance mods now and when those are done, it's new seat time. The stock seat looks great but the way I ride this bike, there will be an issue. The seat that came on my 94 Lowrider was great. Looked good and very comfortable. But they are obsolete and it's worn out. I'll have it reupholstered but my head's wrapped up in the new bike for now.
Can I put a engine guard on my 2022 Street Bob with forward controls
Not sure, gotta ask Harley if they have anything like that. Personally I think it’d look out of place but if that what you’re looking for don’t let anyone tell you different. But I’d check with Harley and maybe they have a part number.
You sure can - I did ;)
How do you find the comfort on that seat after an hour or 2? Looking at the buying the same one
It’s fine, I can sit on it for hours, but everyone is different and not everyone has the same body type. So what works for me might not work for you.
Qual
País vc está ?
Did you need to buy any extensions for the cables at all? Or did the stock ones do just fine.
You have to get extensions for them cables.
@@TaterGrabbinBass awesome I’ll be getting some installed in about a month or so.
do you happened to have the pat number for this bars ? I actually just order some just wanted to double check if this is the right part # 55801016
@@GJRICHY1990 those are the ones
Are these 14s?
These are closer to 16” apes, I think they’re a little over 15” apes and they have a slight forward bend to them. They’re awesome bars and I don’t think I would have gone with any other bar, the height is perfect and extremely comfortable for me at 6’1” with my long ass arms. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
What's the payment for something like this
It depends on how much you put down, the more you put dow the cheaper your payments, also if you add stuff and extended warranties the price starts going up. I’ll likely be able to pay the bike off in about a year because I had sold my last bike and put most of it towards this one. So payments are always different as you know. I’m also going to be putting a Stage 2 on it in a few weeks along with a few other things so I’ll be making another video next month when I get everything on the bike. The bike will look, sound and perform totally different than it did in this video.
Yeah. How much $ are the payments
@@comfortplusheatingair-cond5064 That depends on your interest rate and how long you want it financed.
whats the pull back?
Did you watch the video? The measurements are in the video for most everything the Harley website doesn’t provide you.
