Matt, I'm 61 & still love when you're rip'in the throttle on a great look'in bike, it does my heart good!!! Great job!
That's the truth !
Great video that is so badass I do not understand why they only made the Dyna S for two years one of the best Dynas Harley
Because they are a special release model. Kind of like a CVO but without the price tag.
Because they were replacing the frame with the new Softsil line
They didn't make a Dyna Anything in 2018
They also probably wanted to use up the 110 engine components as well as they no longer need them !
It is a shame that The Lowrider S was discontinued. In the years following its release I have truly grown to love this bike and wish I had one. Mondo’s Bike is amazing and once again I love the sound of those pipes. Truly a great looking bike and thanks again for sharing it. Thanks Matt. In addition that guy who rode near you needs to be careful. He might be a new rider and was looking for an acknowledgement from you but that is not the way to do it. Thanks again.
I just bought one, get one now..?
DANG IT.....that's what a real bike sounds like! And I own a Yamaha Raider S. You said the audio was bad because it was only from the GoPro? My dude it sounded GREAT to me.
That's how harley should make them stock
Funny ending. Great review on the Ohlins suspension even though it was 4 yrs ago it’s still good
Fantastic bike and great video. I think the Lowrider S was one of the best ever HD's
That urinal analogy is perfect man! I ride my '09 FXDL out here in the Boston area and usually don't have a problem, but honestly, if I see someone rolling up next to me at a red light I do what I can to get solo quick hahah. Riding in groups here is a hassle! Great vid as always brother!
I also have a 2017 Lowrider S with the 117, Bandit Sportsman Clutch, S&S lifters, upped compression to 10:5, stage 1 heads, and a Bassani Road Rage II Mega Power exhaust. I need to upgrade my suspension next like Mondo has because I'm sure it would make all the difference in the world. Great video as always and the Thunderheader sounds incredible on his bike. Thanks for showcasing the best Dyna Harley ever made in my opinion! Again, great video!
Please give your non functioning, on board mic a special thank you from me :) As much as I usually enjoy listening to what you have to say, it was such a treat to hear this beast do it's thing. The Lowrider S is my all time favorite factory built Harley. To get the chance to hear one in all it's 117 glory was music to my ears. Thank you, thank you.
Once again, love how the music bump and bike roar sync up at the start 👌🏽
haha thanks man
Great looking bike sounds great you're right it really well not over aggressive or on the there's always someone come out of nowhere when you're on the bike take care Med thanks for the video
Good comments on the suspension. I have a Legend Axeo/Revo setup on my '15 Road King and I'm constantly asked about the ride. People are usually surprised by my response when I tell them that it's a firm ride because so many of the reviews talk about comfort. IMO the point of a performance suspension upgrade is control. I usually compare it to a BMW M5 - it's firm, but always composed. That's the way my King rides now, I have way more confidence when I'm leaned over in a 70mph sweeper or charging down a highway with poor pavement. I think a lot of guys shopping suspension are looking for the ultimate in comfort and many of the reviews out there are doing guys a disservice by not making a distinction between ride quality and performance.
Nice video Matt, it’s great fun to rip around on a Dyna. My 26 year old Evo Dyna Lowrider is still going strong and I love it! I think that suspension upgrade is money well spent on most bikes. Keep the vids coming! BTW I had a crotch rocket come up on me the same way on The interstate except he was doing at least 130 mph and almost clipped my hand grip on purpose. Truly, if I would have caught him it would have been his last stunt, I assure you.
Wow Matt has some real riding skills. Well done sir. Nice to see someone rip it up out there and know what their doing. Thumbs way up on this one buddy 👍🏻
While you were riding I was picturing 5 helicopters following you back to the dealership. You get back and park inside. After putting your gear behind the parts counter and sitting down at your desk 15 cops charge in the front door. Looking around they are dumbfounded. 1 shouts out "we are looking for someone riding a black Harley , leather jacket, and full face helmet ! " All 30 people in the store simultaneously point at each other. Freaking genius !! I now have every Dealership favored on my GPS for quick directions :
Haha.
Awesome. You were hauling ass. Makes me want to get one of these right now.
Just got back from a rip on my Lowrider S. What a monster bike.
The best Dyna of all time. Would like to see a softail model.
They've got a fatboy s
Hecks yea Matt...Get some!! Nice work rocking the stache too... :) I actually laughed about the urinals statement. Haha
Harley Dave good to see you again! You still rockn’ the Fat Bob?
@@jbob2176 Hey J Bob! Yeah, Betty is holding strong...I don't think I'll ever get rid of her. Dyna love man. I'll get some content up if it ever stops raining and is above 50 degrees in my area. 2 Harley demo trucks have come through in the last few weeks and they both got rained out. :(
Sweet! Looking forward to the vids, any mods lately? I loved my Fat Bob (‘15) but I came across a deal on a FXDLS that I couldn’t resist last spring. Both are great Dynas IMO. Ride safe!
AWESOME bike! Another rough day at the office where you HAD to roll on the throttle down the interstate.
I remember the 📹 of this bike , and now! 🙌
Awesome bike & nice riding Matt!!
Harley has come so far in all areas but suspension...when are they going catch up.
Sweet I can't fathom the bankruptcy if I would've kept mine. Ohlins really make the bike shine, so much so that it'll make you notice the swingarm play in the twisties--mine made a "thunk" on a hard switchback that was really hard to ignore (and catch my bud on his FZ09). Felt like wheel slip and boy do these slip on a heavy handed throttle. Loved mine and loved seeing you hold on that pull up to speed, it's a core workout for sure!
Great video Matt really enjoyed it. Greetings from Australia.
Great riding there Matt. The Ohlins look pretty solid. A bit of bromance on 10:33 ☠️☠️
Badass bike in the first vid, just got even more badass with the Ohlins setup.
BTW I'm betting that guy A) Thought you were somebody else. Or B) Just wanted to get a closer look of what a badass bike looks like!
Is that the Harley Davidson part set up for the bags on the back?
That Engine RUNS !!!
Dude next to ya wanted to start an MC....😂 you and him, founding members, original 2 😂
Haha. Yea.
👍🏼
For the price H-D charges for its motorcycles, they should offer Ohlins on all it’s motorcycles straight from the factory, with zero mark up. I would be more tempted to buy an H-D if I didn’t have to upgrade every single part to make it perform/handle better.
Nice bike, great video, when the fog option is not installed Matt perhaps tape , duct, electrical etc.
Holy shit the Thunderheader sounds so good! I need to replace my V&H shortshots ASAP.
Mondo, man, that’s a bad ass bike!
Love that setup. How far do you feel like you could have ridden with that setup before the wind kicked your butt?
What’s the speed limit out there??? What gloves you wearing ? That’s some bike!!!!! Thanks again
65 on most cali freeways, but everyone goes 80-85 when there's no traffic lol
Matt put 5 of these in your rental fleet!!! Mondo awesome bike, this is a true riders bike, and Matt next time WFO in the tunnels 😀 !
Aggie Frazao He’d have to find five of them first! 😂
Zachary Fett put the shop to work in the off season lol seriously hertz rents hi end cars like vettes mustangs ect
@@1550tc Oh I don't disagree with you. I just meant he'd have a hard time finding five of them.
Perfect bark to that bike
When I had my sporty I hated the suspension because it would just bottom out and tweak my back. But when I had my Dyna and especially my street glide I love hitting the dips in the road on stock suspension. It just feels cool and I’ll purposely roll on the throttle in those spots as if I’m gonna jump a 700lb bike. It’s the bumps that I don’t like. That’s when I feel like I need an aftermarket suspension. Especially with my fat ass.
I think this guy that pulled right next to you wanted to show of A little bit, and whence saw the bike he know he really don’t have much to show of with, so he stayed behind, it was funny to see him coming up fast and then ops.
HAHA. Yea maybe. That makes sense.
Little bit of bike bonding happening there ^^
Haha. For sure. You couldn’t slap the smile off my face on that thing.
MATT, Clearly that machine needs your speedo fog option. Nice lowrider!
That thing is sick as hell I love it. I owe a Harley Davidson Electra glide standard and a 88 Harley Davidson FXR with the 111ci on it. This bike makes my mouth water lol. Great video love this channel its always so fresh guys keep up the great work.
MH&R.

Thanks man. I appreciate the good word.
Thanks for watching and enjoy the ride 👍🏻
Cool vid..... I thought you were going to pop some wheelies!! LOL
Love that Simpson helmet!
Awesome bike and ride...I love that you didn't add any silly annoying music during the ride👍.
What is the height of the risers?...12" ?
Matt - can you add the Öhlins rear shock to the 2023 Lowrider S and if so, would you do it?
Matt...how do you feel on that thing with your height? I'm 6'4 and felt a bit squished...didn't know how much the bars helped? ty!
Yesssss cant wait to do a 117 kit on my fxdls
You better research the 117 Kits and oil sumping issue. Just google 117 Kit oil sumping. Thank me later.
Was the oil sumping issue specific to the TC 117 or the M8 117? Finding a lot online in regard to the M8 and the replacement with the redesigned oil pump HD launched in 2017 in order to rectify the issue...?
It was due to m8 117, Stage 3 kit. Yes, they redesigned the oil pumps for m8's. But that is still not sufficient for the 117's.@@JayJay-nm9vm
Road Glide - Copy all on what you’re saying in regard to the M8 117. Do you know if this issue effects the TC 117 as well?
Yes. Google Road Glide CVO Forum. And you will see a lot of owners talking about the same issue. Yes Harley modified the oil pump after the initial M8's hit the ground. But they are trying to run 1 oil pump for all. The 117 need a performance oil pump. I had to get a brand new bike. I'm going to void my warranty they say, but I'm putting Feuling Oil pump and cam plate on my new bike. @@JayJay-nm9vm
I enjoyed the vid just as is. Matt, you mentioned 2018 and following Softail suspension and others commented on HD not making good suspensions. I don't have much experience but I have a 2018 Sport Glide. I just got back from a ride out on the farm roads north of Dallas and was thinking how smooth and solid the ride feels. What's your impression on the new Softail suspension/frame compared to some to the custom suspensions available. It seems very nice to me but I don't have anything for comparison.
The new softail frame is awesome. The mono-shock suspension and front showa suspension is the best Harley has to offer from the factory right now.
Very cool bro.!
In Canada you will have all the cops on your back riding between cars like that!
I'm always amazed at how dangerously he rides when I watch his videos. I live in the States, but if I rode like that where I live, not only would the cops be all over me but other drivers would be trying to run me off the road. He rides like an asshole.
He's in California and it's legal to lane split in that state. He's not riding like an asshole. He's just riding. WTF??? Everyone does it in California. It's actually safer I think because you can get away from a cluster of cars or a lot of traffic by doing so.
Yep - As Donnie Baker would say: “State Law!” Other states need to get onboard and allow riders to split lanes. One of the benefits to having a bike in the People’s Republic is the ability to negate traffic.
Being from SoCal and having lived/worked in NorVA, I split lanes all the time and there’s nothing better than looking at a pissed-off, frustrated face when you blast past them in 100+ degree humidity on the I-95.
Legalize lane splitting in all 50-States!! Canada, just be more like the U.S. of A...😉
@@robertmorgan489 Do you research before you open your big mouth ASSHOLE 🤫
Nice ride it’s quick and black what’s not to like
Matt who has it better than you ? When you take us along for the ride how many miles do you go ? The finished product is flawless I really enjoy. The weather here in central New York still sucks. I have a kid at Pendleton and we are going to visit are you far? It would be really cool to meet you. Are you alright with meeting viewers ?
Yes. Stop by the shop Tuesday, Wednesday Friday or Saturday. Come say hi. It’s 70 miles away not too bad.
Lowrider S was only built in 2016, right?
Have you the numbers of the Öhlins Parts?
Matt, I have a S and I've read online, my local dealer, and Ohlins have stated that cannot put the Nix 22 in my forks. Has Mondo figured out how to fit the Nix 22 in the forks or what does he have in the forks?
Great vid - BUT., I am wondering how the bike looks? Can you first pan over everything - or maybe, you could have had.. I missed the earlier video - you mentioned., you "featured it", please include a link? I have a '17 FXDLS and I am thinking of doing some stuff to it.. And mainly , hand guards - are those custom made? .
@TURNER DIARIES 14/88 Thank you... I'd like to see more detail on the exhaust - two-into-one? Is remapping required? cheers
🔥
Home boy, wanting to be a part of that awesome Harley thang Matt! lol
Haha. Apparently. I can’t say I blame him.
Freakin bad ass. Fun fun fun
i am currently trying to sell my Lowrider S. This video makes me second guess my decision lol
If you're doing it to get on the new Softail Frame then do it. Or if you're doing more distance and you need a bagger - do it.
I have a 2017 Ultra Limited as well as a 2014 Fatboy Lo. Basically selling it to thin the herd lol.@@MattLaidlaw
Camera sound only and still badass!!!
Thanks. Yea, it could have been way better.
That bike looks fun 🍭🤞😊
Bro, can ya do a short video on your patchs?
How would you compare the ohlins with the fox and legends you reviewed in previous video on your bike? Which would you put on a new fxfbs? I know fxfbs has different suspension setup but just wondering what the different suspension brands are focus on.
I like Ohlins the best.
Sweet
Damn! wish i could ride. we poor bastards in Minnesota just got more snow!
Haha sorry man
Really cool bike and great video. It's as mean looking and sounding as it gets. About that guy pulling up next to you, (with no reference to your "urinal analogy"), maybe he was just curious to get a better look at the bike. Lol! I wouldn't share a lane with another biker, but from a respectful distance or another lane, it can be cool to check out other cool bikes.
Traded my lowrider S in for 115 anniversary street glide special... i do Not regret it
Same here. Had a stock 110 with Thunderheader pipe. Never thought a Harley could go that fast but beyond uncomfortable. Miss the speed but no regrets with the SG
@@owennochimson171 on my S i had bassani road rage .. commader V tuner.. dyno tuned... lucky daves 13in tbars and matching seat ...etc etc..... now i have the 115 anniversary street glide special ...turning it into an animal...nearly done... that 107 M8 will give the 110 a run for its money
Great bike. I’d take the street glide as well. I’d take both bikes if I could.
NiCe GoodJob Brother,🙌 iwish i can LaNesplit here in WA lol🤗
Where did you get those gloves?
Roland Sands Diesel
TC Dyna... Nuff said.
Hello great Low-rider S man 👍🏿. One question! What is your handlebar name and Where havé you buy this please ?
Maybe i put the same
Lucky Dave’s bars. You can buy them online.
Matt Laidlaw thanks you . 👍🏿👍🏿
Nice
You wear the coolest helmets Matt - usually a Simpson
Yup.
Badass. What sized bars are they?
I think the 13 inch
It doesn't exist for the CVO Pro Street Breakout and it's a shame...
Awesome vid! Best Dyna! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Mandos bike is almost exactly like mine except I have the Bassani RR3
Nice man. The bassani is legit.
Cool and beautiful video
I'm also uploading videos
Glad to have something as good as you
Wish other states allowed splitting lanes!!!
Hey Matt do you know the us parts percentage on Harley touring bikes????
Good Question. I think at our deal we probably sell at least 50% of our bikes touring? Is that your question?
I think the rest of the US as well. atleast half the bikes are on the touring chassis.
Yes thank you it is nice to know that Harley is still American.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
117 is how they should have came anyway. Granted I’m loving my 122 low rider s.
Better then a 117 or 131 ??? How is the accelaration from 60mp to 90 mph ??
@@radumihaibadescu5089 honestly that’s a hard question because I also went with a cam suited to me riding style. So a little more than just the 122 kit
@@joshuathopper are you happy with your 122 ? Enough power for accelaration from 60mph till 90 mph ?
Dope. Does he have stock motor mounts? Or anything else done to tighten up the bike?
Dang.
What gloves are those
Roland sands. Diesel.
HOT!
👍👍😎
Stoncking machine.
Ride
Talk about a human who is to bike for the bike lol
LA traffic takes the fun out of riding
Ots easy to escape the traffic. 30 minutes from most houses and you can be on one of the best mountain roads in the country.
that mystery rider passed you in the same lane, it looked like. if he ever rode in a group, he'd know better. that guy's a menace to the road. be carful matt.
Looked like one of those bike bonding moments to me ^^
Looks like she likes to run
you put more trust in those car drivers than I do. ugggggh. I know what I can do but others not so much. be careful. shessssh. I know you are young and invincible. I used to be also. lol.
That thing sounds wikkkkked
110 mph, weaving through traffic, tsk tsk
High bars on Harley's sportiest machine? It doesn't make sense. The lowrider s is an awesome bike all stock. Imagine if the crotch rocket guys would install high t bars or ape hangers. It doesn't make sense.
And what's with the handguards as if it's a dual sport motorcycle?
It’s club style man! So many people rock the quarter fairing and t bars on dynas. Where you been at?
Glad you can’t pull that nonsense up here in Idaho 😊
