The brakes get better after they do a thousand miles less even, also mids make braking harder as your foot pressure is down and being your legs are forward of centre makes this even worse. Forward controls are better for the rear brake and forward controls with a swapped out brake pedal off a breakout or sportglide is even better, allowing full forward pressure as much as you like. Coupled with ABS and you can slam on them as hard as you like. Worth considering Arlen Ness floating 15inch front wave rotor and swapping out the rear for a floater too! EBC HH Sintered pads will make this setup bang on.
@@DrewB439 hey I appreciate you sir! That means a lot! :) gotta take care of the wife first, and I've been working really hard on getting this channel to take off so thank you very much! ♥️👍🏻
Congrats, I have an 2018 fxbb with a 114 stage 4. I also thought the rear brake sucked until I put forward controls on. It works great now with the better leverage. Shiny side up.
@@JohnGreen-c4h thanks for the comment man. Stage 4 must rip 😂 I like the way this bike rides right now so I don't want forwards. But I did hear you can adjust the angle of the brake lever to make it feel stronger. Might try that out. Ride safe!
@@robertmorris4675 the red is such a nice color on these bikes. I'm planning to just black mine out and do red accents! I'm glad you enjoy your street Bob as well!
I just picked up a 2022 Street Bob with 1900 miles a week ago. I was looking at new ones but the previous owner had added cruise, forward controls, Arlen Ness air cleaner, Cobra neighbor haters and led turn signals. These were all things I was going to do to a new one if I bought one so for $11,999 I couldn’t pass it up!
@@dudesavemycar i like the forward controls especially for longer rides. I had forwards on 2 different 1200 customs so I’ve gotten used to them before getting the Street Bob. I do still have the stock bars and I’m 5’9”.

You deserve it brother, you bought your wife a new bike before you bought your own.
Good man!

Yeah that's fair. Going used can definitely be better sometimes. I hope you're enjoying the new bike! :)
How do you like the forward controls on the bike? Stock bars??

@@mikebedford2454Awesome. I'm 5'9 as well. Had forwards on my 48 and loved it. But I was thinking about just highway pegs on this bike to be honest.
Good choice, I put fwd controls on the first week. Old knees forced me to. Great cruising machine.
Low rider st def the better choice, coming from the also better dyna street bob owner
to each their own
Swap out the short shitty shock and add a better seat.
