    I was stuck between a low rider and street glide last year, I bought the lrs. It just fits my riding style better and I love the look.

    Commuting/Touring: Road King Special. Nimble, lighter in the steering than the glides, retain your bags. Great bike.

    Love my new Low Rider S. Smooth ride. I did get rid of that heavy breather first thing. It was in my way. No regrets for me. Like you said I was coming from the Street Bob and the 5 gallon tank was a biggie for me as well as the motor and the inverted forks. Love it.

      That stupid akward looking breather is the only thing I don't like about the new 2022 version. Everything else is awesome. Does it make any difference preformance-wise without the breather?

    I own a 2019 HD RK and the wifey rides a 2020 Sport Glide. Both bikes are tricked TFO. Both have their pros and cons. You can check them out in a video I did. I traded a 2016 Street Glide in for the Road King and have zero regrets. I’m an old school kind of dude but only 42. I like the wind in my face and don’t really care for all the wiz bang stuff. I don’t need my bike to tell me where to go. Defeats the purpose IMHO. Nice bike bro. Congrats!

    I dig your transition in Bikes. It is quite interesting that you have a separate page for guns, because I am rebranding and was contemplating whether to merge bikes and gun content or not. U kinda helped me there also, so thanks. The low Rider is a good choice, I've really been thinking about the Chief Bobber Dark Horse, but.... We will see.

    Congratulations on the new bike. I have a 2020 Lowrider S and I like it. But since day 1 it has had a transmission issue when downshifting slowly and my local dealership refuses to even admit that the problem exists. I hope that you have better luck than I have.

    This really caught my eye. I’m currently riding my Kawasaki 636 that I love but I’m kinda ready for something that is more comfortable on longer rides and commuting to work. I’ve been looking hard at the street and road glides then I saw the 22 low rider S and thought damn, that 117 on a nimble but comfortable bike could give me a bit of both worlds. It looks like such a awesome bike but I haven’t been able to find one at a local dealer that I can sit on and get a feel for.

    I have a 2020 Street Glide Special in River Rock Denim just like you did, and I enjoyed watching your videos for exactly that reason, but it will be interesting to get your opinion on making the switch. I love the new Low Rider S, but I don't think I'd make the trade. I'll be tuning in to get your long-term thoughts on it. I also watch your gun videos. Keep putting out great content!

      I then test rode a road king that had forward controls and it was a night and day difference in comfort.
      Perhaps if the lowrider ST had forward controls and a better seat it would have been a much better experience for me. I took the bike up to about 60mph or so and could still feel a good amount of wind as well. Perhaps it was just because I am tall. But I didn't feel the love for this bike that others have expressed.

It is much more enjoyable to handle a 600lb set-up in day to day traffic. The nimbleness and the power to weight is a lot of fun also. Take care.
