I git the fxlrst. But considered fat Bob.. I like the style especially with a Memphis shade fairing.. don’t swap headlight that’s the coolest thing about it
Agreed, Memphis shades with the stock headlight...maybe a tank swap for a larger tank... The FXLRST is a great bike. You can't lose either way. Thanks for stopping by!
one of the first things folks do with the ST is get new risers...mostly pull backs to get the bars closer to you. When doing that - upgrade the bushings to Gooden Tite's and the other piece to fix the vibrations is good grips. The stock plastic ones they put on a $22k MSRP bike are criminal. Total garbage. I went with Avon molded grips with the new bushings and it killed 95% of the stock vibrations I was feeling.
The Touring Frame need not be intimidating. What it is is heavy. I moved from a beautiful Road King to a 2023 FXLRST. I don’t miss the weight. I’m an older guy, and after a day of riding (or less) the Road King weight, in parking lots and other tight areas, really drains one’s energy. The FXLRST is so light and nimble by comparison I really do appreciate the difference. I don’t ride 2-up, and I also appreciate the shorter length and turning radius.
Can the fat bob be a ok beginner bike? For a person who understand and responsible, and respect the machine. I drive trucks for a living and just got my motorcycle license.
Absolutely! I recommend you test drive as many different bikes as you can. As a beginner the most important part in my opinion is to be comfortable on the bike you get. Take your time, go practice slow maneuvers in a parking lot. Best of luck, stay safe!
I traded my Indian Scout yesterday for a 2023 Fat Bob. I hate to say it, but I have buyer’s remorse. My Indian was so beautiful and smooth. Faster as well. This bike shakes. Maybe that’s a Harley thing. I love this bike, but Indian is better
@@chrisjones8743 They are smoother and faster out the door. the difference is the engine tech. I think the harley will hold its value better over time though.
@@MarvFitBikesKicks Ended up getting a fat bob. I like the forward controls better and the faring on the low rider ST didn't really do enough for me to get it. I have a road glide so if I want to long distance I just use that.
Hi, i’m French and i like your job, cause i have a fat bob at this moment… And maybe i change for low rider ST… But i have a good position of my fat bob, and i just want to put cam 475 for the sound and go to the road…
For me it's the Fat Bob which surprised me because of all the hype on the Low Rider ST (and the low rider to a lesser degree up until now). I'd say I felt in a better attack position even with it's forward controls (possibly due to my stature). However maybe I'm being subconsciously bias in that I have a touring bike already so if I were going to pull the plug I'd probably go for something different and I feel the Fat Bob is closer to that than the Low Rider ST for me. Still both are great bikes in their own respect.

How are you feeling about it now? I’m thinking about trading in my fat bob for a white st

Adding cruise control to my fatbob was as easy as pie..dealer activated it for 80 bucks..

Agreed, my Road King is a dream on the highway compared to my Street Bob but I love how light and nimble the Bob is in comparison.
I just feel that 13l tank is to small... I rode test fat bob and I fell in love... i just thing the tank might be a pain?
Fur sure depending on how you ride. My street Bob has the same size tank as the fat bob. There are times when I wish it was bigger.
@@WeRide2 i have gs 850 with 23l and 23 is juat too much but 13 its not enough I think
Then 19 L might be the sweet spot for you like the low rider s has.
@@WeRide2 yes but i like fat bob... and forward controls..
@@Krakuswtirze Then maybe keep a spare tank with you if for longer rides. I keep one with my street bob.
Both great bikes. Got to have a 5 gallon tank.

now you have me second guessing what i want lol. i'll have to test drive em all..

@@tfi1651what did you decide on? I’m thinking about trading my 21 fat bob 114 in for a white low rider st

I love the Fat Bob, especially the forward controls are very comfortable. I have the 475 cam on my road king, it's a great cam. Thanks for watching!
Thinking about trading my 21 fat bob 114 in for the 2023 low rider st 🤔
Can't go wrong with either
Dudes shoes on that street glide. Lol wtf
LMAO, you know what....I never noticed until you said something....
He's wearing ladies slippers! LOL
So which one you like? Best
