Subbed, so good having Aussies bike channel. I just got my bike licence 3 months ago. I can't wait to get an HD or maybe Indian. In the meantime, I got my LAMS approved Vstar.
Great Aussie content guys! I actually got rid of my softail streetbob for a dyna low rider s. The new bikes are great, but I didn’t buy a Harley to own a refined motorcycle.
@@Dyna-mite154 hey mate! Thank you we appreciate the feedback :) owning a dyna love to hear it! Definitely having a dyna comes with a lot of character and they are super cool bikes!
I have a 1999 FXDL. It's not for sale. Solid rear spoked front wheels. Still twin disc front. Corbin seat forward controls. Back to buckhorns. V&H straight shots and fueling 525 cams. Have to replace the chrome covers and was going to go black but then it would look like everything else out now so got all the OEM chrome except for the cam cover which is obsolete. 20 years from now you can make it your own by putting it back to near standard.
Pretty good comparison vid 👌 im in the process now on my 20 fxlrs to throw a cam in i cant wait to see how it goes , ps: ive had dynas just fell inlove with the softtail purely from the price per dollar for power.
Wanted an M8 low rider S for a long time now. Really only thing keeping me away is price of aftermarket parts for what I want + price to get the bike and the minimal lean angle stock. I don’t see anything online talking about real numbers of what you gain lifting the bike up from the factories 31ish degrees of lean. If the bike is lifted 2 more inches front and rear like this bike looks to be, what’s that translate to? I think in 6 months I’ll have one. Built a supermoto for myself rn and it’s great, but always be an HD guy.
@@Joebro200 definitely some good point it’s never a cheap thing to do. Ideally buying one as done as possible or everything but the motor can save you big cash! Lifting the bike gives it clearance off the ground from pegs exhaust primary ect. Then also being able to have more clearance turning. We all come from motor cross backgrounds and this is the setup what we like and enjoy riding. Full break down on this lrs m8 coming soon!
Is the M8 a117 or the 114? The 2016.5 DYNA Low Rider S is my favorite bike so far, It has a few quarks however. From Central Texas to Sturgis South Dakota is a blast on the that bike but The Bags on the Low rider ST are calling my name.
@@bertkanan2176 cheers mate, Shane’s retail if you were to buy it new and do it would be looking around the 50k aud mark , James definitely on the cheaper side you could pick one up around the 22 to 25k mark and put abit in then you’d be looking around the 30 to 35k aud if you were to build his
Picking up a stage 4 23 model at the end of September! Can’t fucken wait! Wish UA-cam would allow for links so I could post some pics, it’s a beast not one part of this bike is stock. Torque is where the fun is and the reason I bought it,
Im still playing WITH 3 twincams. Im to far in to change now. But my dynas tricked out n S&S engine n my BAGGERS a S&S DRAGON T143 n third bike is my triglide,after i CRASH😅🎉
f you're looking for a more laid-back, urban cruiser with a unique hardtail design, the Dyna TC Low Rider might be the way to go. If you prioritize comfort, power, and modern amenities for long-distance touring, the Softail M8 Low Rider might be your better bet.
I’d love to try out a new soft tail m8, I can’t wrap my head around the fact a soft tail could ever be better than dyna.. I come from the early twin cam world where the soft tail is usually considered the worst bike for any type of aggressive riding!
The older softails are different in design in a couple ways, the frame is different and the placement of not two but one shock. The shock is under the seat running from the top back of frame to the very top of swingarm. The old ones have them directly underneath the frame on bottom running to the front of swingarm. The difference in handling is highly noticeable. Especially when you put a better suspension on the new m8! Mine is raised up in the front and back and aggressive riding is most definitely not an issue. It's worth a test ride and for sure a purchase!! 🤘
I almost bought a 2016 lowrider s. I waited until the M8 lowrider s came out. The single mono shock under the seat is the ticket. I ride a 2022 lowrider st. Came off of a roadglide, no regrets love the st. I hated the old softails with the 1.5 suspension travel under transmission they ride like crap
Great review just ran into your channel now subscribed nice to see an Aussie channel with our passions. Up the twin cam Dyna 👍👍
@@danr919 thank you for the support! We are big dyna fans!
Bloody Shane is a bloody legend. What a knowledgeable and humble guy. By the way the seat he's talking about is Lepera Kickflip Upfront.
@@azadr9231 he’s a rare breed that’s for sure. Thank you!
Love both bikes guys, great vid!
@@RyandKyHarleyGuys thanks legend really appreciate it! More vids coming asap!
I have both and the softail just handles better with no motor swinging around in the frame.. way better.
@@marvelharris9540 yea for sure, Harley have definitely improved a lot on the new low s
Its a made in bangladesh pos.
Enjoyed the video. I am looking forward to the M8 breakdown video.

@@Dyna-mite154 much done to yours motor wise?

Great vid guys, keep em coming.

@@bradleydixon-ss2tp awesome mate good stuff 🤟🏼
Great watch. both are great platforms that respond well to fruiting lol
@@joelvasilakis8082 everyone loves fruit
I love my 2020 low rider s I wish harley would have pit black wheels on them my wheels are at the coating place now to a gloss black
I actually dont mind the m8 lrs wheel colour but gloss black is always a crows favorite
I like the bronze color bit gloss black you can't beat that looks and what mini turn signals are on the m8 one
Good vid...I"m at that point now, weather to keep modifying my Dyna or just switch to the M8 platform.. PS. Love my Dyna
@@dancole909 definitely is a hard choice to make
If its a DLRS..... Build the DLRS....

@@LJSiar the m8 lrs came out first in a 114 then now a 117. The low rider st is an expensive way to get bags but definitely a cool bike
What motor is on that bike, the M8 114 or the 117?
@@LJSiar this bike shown has the 114 / 117 doesn’t have gauges on the tank from factory.
Awesome video! What is the total cost of each of these builds?

The sound of a stock M8 doesn’t sound like a Harley at all. That’s the main reason Im looking for a ‘16 twin cam dyna
Everyone to their own, defiantly a common comment said. the new m8's do need some modifications to make them have some character
