I've watched your vids over and over on the club style softtail and finally bought a 2019 street bob over labor day weekend. I love it and will set it up this way. Keep up the cool vids.
Hay Matt. Your crew is amazing at your dealership. I live in Detroit. I called and asked about the first club build on the fxbb. The young lady that helped me was flipping awesome. Thanks for innovating. Your videos convinced me to go with my fxbb. Thank you . Dave
Great job you guys come up with some really classy build also showing a wide range of custom parts hey and your videos of the dealer show top notch keep up the great work look forward to all of your posts
I love this bike! I test rode one at the 115th and I thought it was a very quick and responsive bike. I would really like to have one for a second bike to go with my Road Glide Ultra. Great Job Matt! Ride Safe!
Matt the softail spokesman.📣🎙🎤 I have a strong feeling your videos have really helped with not only sales but also in convincing all the dyna riders to give the hybrids a try .When will Harley Davidson start putting inverted forks on all their models ? It's hands down a superior ride technology .
Matt I just put 9.5" risers on my 08 lowrider. We ordered a bracket that put the indicators on the center of the triple tree. Low but visible even for a stubby guy at 5'10.5". I guess most of the world is stubby to you. Also went with a Woods 222 cam just to even the torque out a little. I've got to dona fairing (I think) to finish it out. Memphis Shade (everybody is using them) so I'm looking for an alternative. East coast dyna club bike, I just did not like the look of mini apes. So i wanted a Tbar look which is not easy to do on a Lowrider. Love the videos btw! Keep them rolling. Ride safe!
Beautiful build Matt ! Do they make these front turn signal brackets ? Or did you guys make them ? I have clearance issues with my low rider s and need lowers hanging signals
i just picked one up and like the mods fairing looks cool ,might go 4inch on risers thou looks to tall to me ...hehe other then that a 2 into 1 and i am ripping the hills
Hey Matt! Looking at doing this setup myself.one thing you didn’t mention was if the gauge wire was long enough for the 10 inch risers or did they have to be spliced longer?
Is it just better to buy a new bike clubstyle ready or is it possible to make my sporty A club style will I need to change the belt drive to chain final drive and need info on a great looking ride and lots of math to prefection rake hight ratio stage 4 ofcourse can a sportster have all that for a 15 k job or will it be 25 k like this slim I would choose a softtail slim
Air cleaner looks like a rotary phone dial hahah. I didn't want to like this bike, but hey, nice job! Those Dominion grips are growing on me too. Keep up the great work brother!
could you do a tank lift on this bike ??,, looking to do something like this when i purchase one, but i would want to lift the tank just to give it more of a bobber style.
Dave Bavister well it's really going to depend on how much she uses it, and less about the mileage. It may be that she found it to be not very helpful when it wasn't broken in, and has just not really been using it. Even after it's broken in it's not going to be particularly strong. The vast majority of braking should be done with the front brake, while the rear is mostly for small mid corner changes. Many riders never use the rear brake at all, over use is probably worse than under use, in terms of habbit forming. After mine was broken in, I don't have any issues locking up the rear, it does take a good amount of force but I want it to take a lot of force as locking up the rear is easy to do if the weight is shifted forward and can be a bit unsettling if you weren't trying to lock up the rear. Because it takes a fair bit of brake application to lick the rear I know that even with weight transfer forward I am unlikely to lock the rear, which I like.
Matt nice built....can’t wait to come out there and split lanes on these club bikes 😆 Iam still not sold on 10 inch risers, 0-3-6 inches plus the bars preferably bars only like flat trackers
Im 6 feet tall, would u think i can read the LCD screen easily or would i need a 1inch pullback? Also does this installment need new wiring? Or the stock would do fine?
Gotta have the 5 gallon tank though. The FXBB should be the Bobster and the actual "Dynatail" should have the bigger tank and maybe the gauges where the FXLR/S are located
I've ridden the 18 softtails and they handle way better than the dynas. I will trade my 2017 FXDLS for one as soon as they offer a fully blacked out softail lowrider from the factory with the 114 .
You guys always do great work, but I found this a little disappointing. This bike has so much more potential that a simple change of bar/risers and adding a fairing doesn't seem enough to call it a project bike. How about a cooler seat, suspension, paint job, some engine work, intake/exhaust mods. You've got some really talented mechanics working for you, and for a project bike to showcase like this, you should give them the freedom to show what they can do. Still respect everything you do. :)
I agree, and to be perfectly clear we didn’t build this bike as a “Project bike” to showcase the full capabilities of our shop and the bike potential. This is a very simple change to a Streetbob. This is just a start for someone who buys the bike. We aren’t going to try to win and shows or anything. We wanted to keep the price reasonable because a lot of the bikes I feature on my channel are for sale. This one actually sold 2 days ago.
I think that for the great work and quality of your staff that even if you were let them go all out, it would sell fast. My favorite videos are those of your staff and clients showcasing their bikes. It's what makes me always look forward to the next one. :)
My opinion but I just don’t like that rear fender. Same setup but with the low rider fender and I’d be good...oh and with a stage 4 setup and nice exhaust system..
Harley absolutely does not make a bike for me at the moment - which is fine. I understand I have pretty specific tastes. I love my '17 Fat Bob - test rode at least 7 '19 & '18 Harleys at Sturgis and wouldn't trade mine for the world. Thought I was going to fall in love with the sport glide but I was never so sure I hated a motorcycle so quickly in my life. This a Soft Bob done up as nicely as this one just does absolutely nothing for me. I want an M8 motor so badly, just don't actually see myself getting on one anytime soon.
*"Low price of 14.5k"*
Am I missing some kind of monthly check everyone else is getting wtf.
Catch em when they're hungry, never lay sticker.

That must have been robin. Yes, she is awesome
THIS IS THE BEST CLUBSTYLE IVE EVER SEE
Great job you guys come up with some really classy build also showing a wide range of custom parts hey and your videos of the dealer show top notch keep up the great work look forward to all of your posts
The Matt Laidlaw show!!
I love this bike! I test rode one at the 115th and I thought it was a very quick and responsive bike. I would really like to have one for a second bike to go with my Road Glide Ultra. Great Job Matt! Ride Safe!
Looks good Matt, I could get into that look myself, it,s a great start for someone to mod out.
All it needs is an aftermarket Dyna Frame. ;)
Did you have to do anything with the cables or did the stock cables reach just fine?
I like the new style valve covers
One of my biggest upset of the loss of the Dyna family is the smaller gas tank. Was wondering if you can get a bigger tank on there.
joojr2779 defiantly the main thing I hate about these new street bobs to!
At first I was a little intimidated by it, but went I went and saw it!! Of all the motorcycles that harley davidson has I really liked this model
That build is beautiful Matt, you guys KILL IT every time!
⚡⚡👊
I’m buying a FSBB next year 🤘 it would be sick to drive it back home from Cali too.
excellent work! All it needs is a good old Bassani Road Rage III like my bob's got.
yep

That Street Bob looks like a Street 500 with Matt sitting on it lol!
Hi Matt, how are you? I speak of Brazil and I would like to know the model of this fairing that you put on the Street, it was very cool!
Matt I just put 9.5" risers on my 08 lowrider. We ordered a bracket that put the indicators on the center of the triple tree. Low but visible even for a stubby guy at 5'10.5".

Club Style forever but....give me back the old dyna frame!! ✌🏻 however...great job as usual 👍🏻
Gives the bike a different lock with the handlebars really nice thanks for the video Matt take care
I am a believer! I love mine! Two tone!
That is one badass looking bike! Build looks simple and clean Brother!!
I’m not even into that style but damn man. That $hit is righteous! Keep kicking ass...
I am from England and i think this is a great idea, i have the new fat boy 114 and would love this style.
Nice rig mate,good job
Man, you've got your own cameraman now....big time! Great review and starting to like these bobbers.
In what way shape of form is that a bobber? They have added stuff to the base bike, kind of the antithesis of a bobber.
Thanks for sharing...great job with the mods!
Cool bike the only thing I don’t really like about the softball street bob is the big gap between the seat and the fuel tank
killer look
Beautiful build Matt ! Do they make these front turn signal brackets ? Or did you guys make them ? I have clearance issues with my low rider s and need lowers hanging signals
Matt, the bike looks small when you’re on it lol
Thank you for the great video!
are you guys doing any lowrider club style bikes?
i just picked one up and like the mods fairing looks cool ,might go 4inch on risers thou looks to tall to me ...hehe other then that a 2 into 1 and i am ripping the hills
I just recently purchased a street bob and would like to know what type of wiring did you use to reach the digital speedometer
That's impressive. Nice job.
Matt your the man! I wanted to see what that 1in kickback would look like. You need to do up a sport glide.
Clean and simple
That rocks, love it!
I love those tbars
Hey Matt! Looking at doing this setup myself.one thing you didn’t mention was if the gauge wire was long enough for the 10 inch risers or did they have to be spliced longer?
Yea the gauge wires need to be extended. I believe we use a kit to do it. You can call robin at our shop if you want.
Thanks! And a plug in kit? I haven’t seen any for that. What’s the number?
Dude sick this is amazing bike.
Is it just better to buy a new bike clubstyle ready or is it possible to make my sporty A club style will I need to change the belt drive to chain final drive and need info on a great looking ride and lots of math to prefection rake hight ratio stage 4 ofcourse can a sportster have all that for a 15 k job or will it be 25 k like this slim I would choose a softtail slim
Did you need to raise the headlight 1 inch for it to fit correctly?
I’m not sure but I don’t think so.
Matt Laidlaw thanks!!
Matt, did you have to use any cable kit or extension for the 10" Bung King handlebar?
Are those the stock bars with the bung king risers?
Nice bike
Air cleaner looks like a rotary phone dial hahah. I didn't want to like this bike, but hey, nice job! Those Dominion grips are growing on me too. Keep up the great work brother!
What bars are those? You have everything else in the description but that.
could you do a tank lift on this bike ??,, looking to do something like this when i purchase one, but i would want to lift the tank just to give it more of a bobber style.
What kind of Bars are those?
Matt are the handlebars Bung King also?
So nice! Just Stage II and voilá!! 🙌 Thanks for the Vlog!
Can that fairing fit on a 2021 street bob?
Matt have you found the rear brake on the Street Bob to be very poor? The one on my girlfriends bike might as well not be there at all!!
Dave Bavister the pad is a very hard compound and must be used a bunch before it will break in, according to our shop foreman.
Neptune it’s done over 3000 miles now so I thought it would have improved by now.
Dave Bavister well it's really going to depend on how much she uses it, and less about the mileage. It may be that she found it to be not very helpful when it wasn't broken in, and has just not really been using it.
Even after it's broken in it's not going to be particularly strong. The vast majority of braking should be done with the front brake, while the rear is mostly for small mid corner changes.

Because it takes a fair bit of brake application to lick the rear I know that even with weight transfer forward I am unlikely to lock the rear, which I like.
Neptune I rode it the other day and it will barely hold the bike when doing a hill start!!
Dave Bavister talk to your dealer. I can lock up my rear whenever I want
I need a headlight relocation to install the quarter fairing?
Would love to see you guys do a club style low rider....
Check out ms blockheads low rider
Are the bars the same height as stock?
Can you do a step by step build video?
Hey mate, whats the product number for the fork clamps ?
I don’t know off the top of my head but they are the ones used to clamp a genuine Hd windshield on.
what a way to bring it to life.
good looking bike.
sounds great too.
awsome video !!
My dream bike
Matt nice built....can’t wait to come out there and split lanes on these club bikes 😆
Iam still not sold on 10 inch risers, 0-3-6 inches plus the bars preferably bars only like flat trackers
What handlebar did you end up using with the risers?
Awesome bike very cool
What brand handlebars
How is the LCD wired Matt?
Extended wiring harness.
how tall are you?? im 5'10 will i be able to see the speedo??
Zed handle bar would be awesome from my opinion.
Dude, that's a great looking ride. Maybe black wheels would be my only change
Im 6 feet tall, would u think i can read the LCD screen easily or would i need a 1inch pullback? Also does this installment need new wiring? Or the stock would do fine?
Fooking luvley! ... hi from London UK.
Nice video , Beautiful Street Bob , well , nice video!!!!!!!!! big like !!!!!!!
Hi Matt,
what are these handlebars? CR High bend 1" Dia handlebars? Also from Bung King? Greetings from europe!
Dynatail Street Bob would have been a great name!
Gotta have the 5 gallon tank though. The FXBB should be the Bobster and the actual "Dynatail" should have the bigger tank and maybe the gauges where the FXLR/S are located
10 in bung king risers but What kind of handlebars are Those
Danny they look like luck Dave’s riser bars
George Hakeem thanks
Can someone tell me what headlight extension block was used can’t seem to find one that raises the head light correctly. Thanks!!
Hi can you send me the link for the harley davidson fork clamp?
Fork clamp? The triple tree?
@@MattLaidlaw the fork clamp I try to find in harley davidson parts and accessories web page.
I could have taken my street bob for a side by side comparison:) hopefully some time
How much a bike like that cost
It's literally in the 6 minute video. How lazy are you?
Not bad! I still like my 2017 Street Bob better. What do you guys think?
Mister Grey dyna>softtail imo
Nothing out I would trade my 17 FXDLS for.
@09fx ¿ you'd gain more power and torque with a longer exhaust.
@09fx ¿ the bike would benefit from a thunder header, bassani, or 2 bros. Just my. 02. Loud doesn't mean fast.
I've ridden the 18 softtails and they handle way better than the dynas. I will trade my 2017 FXDLS for one as soon as they offer a fully blacked out softail lowrider from the factory with the 114 .
every time i see a street bob it triggers memory of my son :(
beautiful！
Nice!
To my Europeans eyes those bars look reeediculous. Love the 2019 Heritage, Deluxe and Road King though.
To my American eyes those bars look reeediculous.
I agree! Get rid of the handle bars and nose bleed risers, replace them with short risers and mini ape hangers..
I agree. I've been riding over fifty years now, and I think If those aren't the uglyest handlebars I have ever seen, they have to be a close second.
I think it would look okay if it didnt have the fairing and the handlebars were straight across. Just seems out of place like it is
To my Chinese eyes, the fairing is a must-have if you travel long distance on highway, the handlebar is narrow and suitable for filtering.
I don't dig this look... at all. But i do appreciate the good work you guys did there, good job!
You guys always do great work, but I found this a little disappointing.

Miss the Dyna’s!
Wish it could be more of a Dyna and have a 5 gallon fuel tank. Just saying. Otherwise I love that bike. Test rode 2019 and 2020. SWEEEEET ride.
Dope
My opinion but I just don’t like that rear fender. Same setup but with the low rider fender and I’d be good...oh and with a stage 4 setup and nice exhaust system..

This a Soft Bob done up as nicely as this one just does absolutely nothing for me. I want an M8 motor so badly, just don't actually see myself getting on one anytime soon.
Super
Great Job as usual!
Bad Ass build with minimum changes
This year Streetbob looks smaller than my 2014. Maybe its just me. Definately has a smaller tank.
Harley, bring back the Dyna!!! From Europe
Dump the screen and put a dial on the side then it would look smooth
New Street Bob design is chafe
my dream
