Man i really like this Harley Softail Standard... I remember when this was released i thought it was awesome... Harley hit it out of the park with this bikes price point for a brand new Big twin..
With all you know now, would you do it all over again?... I am thinking about going to a Street Bob, minus all the goodies, standard.. Be my first Harley if all goes well.
glad you tried T Bars even though you didn't like them. Great way to really see what that was all about. I've never ridden with them and don't care for the look of them either. Great review Flip.
There were so few things I liked about the Street Bob, which you covered in this too. Great bikes, especially for someone to build out exactly the way they want. Great review man!
See now that’s exactly what ppl told me the day I bought the 2020 road king special. “First thing u MUST change the seat “ Iv went on two 11+ hour trips. And I haven’t had a single issue with the stock seat.
And that right there is the reason Harley puts a stock seat on that they know everyone will change at the time of purchase, It's also the reason that seat prices are outrageous. Because they know that it will be the first thing they can get you to change, I also have a 2020 Softtail standard with the stock seat and have no problems with it! the only reason I would consider changing it out is if I had a someone that needed to be a passenger, I myself find this to be a good excuse to not have a passenger.
Great review Flip👍👍👍 your honesty is genuine. No worries about not buying that one. You can always buy one and build it up yourself. Honestly I hope you do. I would enjoy the content.
Yep.....i love mine! I also have an 05 xl 1200c. Love it also. But that M8! Oh boy. I cant stay off it. I work 12hr days. Had it for 2 1/2 months and have 2230mi on it. Great bike.
I'm going to guess the heat retention on the Saddlemen is coming from the Saddle Gel they use. I have the Saddlemen Explorer on my FXLRS and I can confirm that once that seat gets hot, it does NOT cool back down. I may start carrying a towel around to cover the seat while I'm at work or parked somewhere...or move away from Saddlemen.
Was commented today about my 2020 softail...very nice not too much chrome and sounds awesome with the two brothers racing exhaust..saddlemen seat..and forward controls..awesome ride..from down under bob
I'm 5'11" and had one as a loaner while my glide was getting serviced. I felt like a teenager riding a tricycle with the mid controls. Maybe with forward controls, but if your over 5'8" not comfortable. I will say that very fast and nimble bike.
Great review. What kind of air cleaner does it have? The license plate looks cool. I have a 2020 Softail Standard and love it I added a Sundowner seat, passenger pegs and a sissy bar. Stage one after the warranty runs out next month.
Great review, thank you for doing it. I agree 100% with you on the 2021 Standard. The seat is straight shite! I had a new Saddlemen step up on it before 200 miles! Stay safe out there brother!
Had to pause the video... Flip what in a professional motorcycle magazine kind of review is this??? the camera angles, your attitude flowing with it. Everything looks so pro brother, don't ask me why but I feel proud of you lately, even thogh i've never met you and for sure you won't give a sh*t xD. Keep up with the good work buddy. s/o from Spain
Flip your seat stays hot because it right on top of the oil tank. My breakout is the same way. It will roast your butt fast. My sportster was under seat but i think it was a plastic tank and the way it was shaped it didn't go around under the whole seat. These are all metal and wrap around under the seat. So they stay hotter.
Good review I do think they are pretty good bike, I sat on one and I seemed bit crunched up with the mid controls, but that not a hard fix. If person wants black it great bike and afordable.
@@FlipNA I cannot recal if the Standard I looked at had stock seat or not, but sat on Street Bob with forward controls and seat similar to Saddleman step up and it felt pretty good.
Hey buddy I know I’m late to the game, but your bars, did you have to do a cable kit? That’s the only thing I’m lacking on my 21 FXST and I can’t afford to get it wrong time wise or financially. Do you know the max height and or riser combo I can go with?
That gauge has grown on me also. It may have to do with the fact that my Heritage gauge fogs up on me when I am riding. Clears up within a few minutes of me stopping, so Harley won't do anything about it. I still don't like the T-bars and fairing though. Just not my style.
I talk to Beth on the phone because next week we are supposed to come down the Florida for four days and I had nowhere to park my trailer to bring my Triglide with us and I called the Harley Davidson dealership there and talk to Beth and she said it would not be an issue for me to park my trailer and the Triglide there when I’m not using it even though the trailer would be blocked in from the big weekend events for the OCC grand opening where they’re going to have a lot of vehicles and trailers parked.
If they called that the Softail Classic they would sell so many more of them .... nobody wants a standard, but a classic, damned right people want that
I am looking for an exhaust system that will add some sound but will not require tuning and will not void my warranty. Any suggestions? 2020 softtail standard
Anybody else have a issue with belt noise I have a 21 softtail standard and I took it to Harley and they said it was normal but it's Def not and said it was a softtail issue
Straight Up...No BS review... '94 Softail Standard here...had her for almost 20 yrs.& love it !
Man i really like this Harley Softail Standard... I remember when this was released i thought it was awesome... Harley hit it out of the park with this bikes price point for a brand new Big twin..
Nice I just got a 2021 softtail standard a month ago I traded my 2014 883 in for it I have done a couple of up grades 🏍🍻
With all you know now, would you do it all over again?... I am thinking about going to a Street Bob, minus all the goodies, standard.. Be my first Harley if all goes well.
@@RTZ-ho1lf I don’t mind doing the up grades I make it my own build that way hope you get yours ride on be safe 🏍
Wow...that was like a REAL REVIEW. Excellent job Flip-Na !!!
100% home run.
Looking forward to the next one.
Flip, Good review of the 2020 Softail Standard.
glad you tried T Bars even though you didn't like them. Great way to really see what that was all about. I've never ridden with them and don't care for the look of them either. Great review Flip.

Love my 2020 FXST! Many mods and Yes….the first one was a seat!! 💪🏽 I put Biltwell apes on it and definitely made the right choice! Hell yeah Flip!
Great review !! After following your progress with this bike, I'll probably buy Softail Standard for my next bike
Don’t forget to call berts first.
I'm looking to get my first in the next year or two. This is a sexy bike. Strongly considering this. Thanks Flip. You da man!
Thank you for your review... you gave me some great ideas for my 2021 FXST ! Looking closely at the handlebar/riser combo. 👻
This is my next bike. I'll customize it as I go. Mini cowl, highway bars, saddleman two up seat, sissy bar and Viking Bags hard saddlebags.
THAT would be the Harley for me.
Good review Flip.

Great review, Flip. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you, for the content that you put out.
Finally a good review! I just bought my standard going stage 3
I'm 5'11" and had one as a loaner while my glide was getting serviced. I felt like a teenager riding a tricycle with the mid controls. Maybe with forward controls, but if your over 5'8" not comfortable. I will say that very fast and nimble bike.
I’m 6 foot. The saddleman fix everything
The Saddlemen Renegade Solo seat fixes that issue.
Same as the badlander, suits the ST with a 200 rear.
I like the Mustang saddle seat. Low and comfy.
Not a Harley fan...BUT, a FLIP NA Fan!! Great vid as always Flip. Just wished it was longer as I really enjoy your content.
Nice review, But the editing is the real show for me. Well done Flip. Expectations are raised.
I would not recommend the standard or the streetbob to anyone over 6’1”.
Nice review of a motorcycle you enjoy
Step up seat and forwards. I’m 6 foot
I am 6'3 and I was wondering if the bike was for short people. Now I know. Thanks
Flip your are showing the way to do a great review. Liking your content more and more. Cheers from the UK.
Great review. What kind of air cleaner does it have? The license plate looks cool. I have a 2020 Softail Standard and love it I added a Sundowner seat, passenger pegs and a sissy bar. Stage one after the warranty runs out next month.
I’m half sold on the softail, still have the itch to build a Evo sportser chopper. Choices lol. Loving the content.
Yea a link to Camera Equipment, So very helpful when looking for Bags
Great review, thank you for doing it. I agree 100% with you on the 2021 Standard. The seat is straight shite! I had a new Saddlemen step up on it before 200 miles! Stay safe out there brother!

Looks great, good review, can't wait to see what's next!
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thanks Flip
try the saddleman with the tuck and roll pattern in the seat.. doesnt heat up nearly as bad
The heat in the seat is most likely the gel layer, gel is very dense so it will hold it's temps much longer, think mashed potatoes vs like toast
I thought about that later.
Nice review. I totally agree on t-bars. How does it compare to your triump bonneville?
Tequila and whiskey. They do the same thing in a different way that I love regardless
good review man. its easier to believe a review when the person has had it longer than a day lol. good vid
I eventually want a 119 kit on mine.
I test ride a Street Bob with a 107 back in '20, tons of torque.

I forgot to mention that SHIT! Yeah. I was hella cramped in the original seat. Not at all on the saddle man
@@FlipNA I cannot recal if the Standard I looked at had stock seat or not, but sat on Street Bob with forward controls and seat similar to Saddleman step up and it felt pretty good.
Nice cinematography in the 1st minute !
good honest review, keep up the great work
Would like to know more about the license plate relocation job? Kit ir diy. Wanna do it to my 21 standard
Buy it flip!!!!!! It’s your style!
It's a great motorcycle. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Great bike GG Flip
Great video man. I love the normal man's bike dude. That's what people want.
Good job, that bike looks great.
Great review man makes me wanna get one

I am sure you will get many identical comments...Good review!
Nice review Flip
Great review mate
I put a Harley Hammock on my 2022, soo comfy
Solid review Flip. 😎
If you could have gone with different bags, which ones would you have chosen?
I was asking for leather pro originally
That gauge has grown on me also. It may have to do with the fact that my Heritage gauge fogs up on me when I am riding. Clears up within a few minutes of me stopping, so Harley won't do anything about it. I still don't like the T-bars and fairing though. Just not my style.
Bert is the BEST !
Those are a harder seat that takes a while to break in (kind of like a ball glove). More you ride it, the better the Saddelmen seat gets.
Now that you've done the affordable... Go big now!!!
Shhh!!!!
Literally was just in Bert's, saw this bike and almost bought it before seeing this video
I'm surprised they didn't install a performance air intake.
‘22 Standard, put a 15” fairing and now I got this gnarly up wind coming from the mid frame… any pointers???
Great review man.
yeah man Flip great video
1.49 Flip throws Josh under the bus lol
We know who we are !
Can you post a link to the TBar riser kit and gauge cluster kit?
I talk to Beth on the phone because next week we are supposed to come down the Florida for four days and I had nowhere to park my trailer to bring my Triglide with us and I called the Harley Davidson dealership there and talk to Beth and she said it would not be an issue for me to park my trailer and the Triglide there when I’m not using it even though the trailer would be blocked in from the big weekend events for the OCC grand opening where they’re going to have a lot of vehicles and trailers parked.
I wish the big twins were as cheap as where you live! I could buy 3 yamaha XSR700s for the price that bike would be here...
What size risers are you running on the standard ? And did you have to extend any of the stock cables ??
“I” didn’t do any of it. It’s 12” I think. I think it should be the same length cables
A lot of good points! Get abs
If they called that the Softail Classic they would sell so many more of them .... nobody wants a standard, but a classic, damned right people want that
@@neodutch I am a first time HD rider as from two weeks ago, and as a "noob" it just "sounds better" as a sales pitch in my mind.
Street Bob Classic
Great video, brother.
Good review. Cool bike.
What is the name of the music. Totally love it.
Great job!! Always looking forward to your videos. 🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹
It's too bad nobody does a test ride on bumpy roads to see how the suspension feels.
Cool bike!
I am looking for an exhaust system that will add some sound but will not require tuning and will not void my warranty. Any suggestions? 2020 softtail standard
Would have been nice to hear it
Between the Harley -UA-cam content and the death metal I might have to move to Tampa...
What a great honest review
reliable and affordable, you're talking honda
Anybody else have a issue with belt noise I have a 21 softtail standard and I took it to Harley and they said it was normal but it's Def not and said it was a softtail issue
Damn good review!
i got a 2021 softail standard i to put 6" risers on it do i need to change the cables?
just got one today,price is now $15K.
“Any way I wanted”
Ok Flip moment of truth this or the T120 if you wouldn't have any bike in your garage and you can only have one.

Hey where can I find those saddle bags from?
Harley
You ever seen a 70"s FX? If you had, you wouldn't say the tank is not classic.
The standard looks like a low rider S light.
One day I might find out why Harleys cost so much more than metric equivalents, but not today.
Anything made in America will be more expensive than the equivalent made in any other country.
at the end of the day it only need to be the right fit for you
What size is the bar?
