Harley Davidson of Lakewood will be delivering my red street bob Sunday. I had them install a torque cam, black tappet covers with black push rod covers, forward controls and Vance and Hines short shots like I had on my 2016 low rider s. I have been riding for almost 60 years. I love this bike and the sound of the short shots with the torque cam. Brings back my younger days. Keep riding it helps you stay young. Good luck and thanks for your info.
For anyone thinking of upgrading from a sportster to this. I Just moved on from the 833 to this bike and it is CRAZY. I was worried about it being to big. That’s honestly what kept me from moving up but I did a test ride and couldn’t believe how smooth and nimble it was. It hard to explain in words how it is you really would have to do a side by side but seriously that was the best bike move I’ve made.
Just got this bike in gray, i haven't rode a street bike in about 15 years. This is my first Harley and i absolutely love it. More power than ill ever need but definately will be getting some pipes for it to get a bit more sound out of it
Raw Hide Harley Davidson in Olathe KS, will be delivering my 2022 Street Bob on Thursday. I got my Street Bob in Fast Back Blue not only is this my very first Harley but my very first motorcycle ever!
I got the 2020 street bob with a low rider s rear fender, a softail slim tank and low rider Mags. I hated the 3.5 gallon tank. Now that I have a 5 gallon it's a game changer. Bike is very customizable. Most parts are plug and play.
Yeah. Maybe. But it looks like a bunch of bolts. It’s crude looking. I think. Cheap. It could have been better. It’s a pretty tank. What’s with a 114 and these handle bars? It’s nuts. And what’s w the wrinkle finish on the bars and the plain rubber boots on the forks? And the brutish black cast wheels? This is a parade bike imo.
@@davidbeauchamp9663 it's all plug and play. You can use your existing gas pump. I did have a shop cut off the little bracket where the gauges went on in the softail slim tank. And repainted to match the bike.
@@robertlee8042 you gotta remember the street bob is an entry level big twin. It's not going to have all the bells and whistles right out of the factory. The bob is meant to be a blank canvas to customize the bike to your taste.
I have a 2021 and at 5' 10" I had to get a tall boy seat to ride it home. The stock seat looks good but very uncomfortable for me. Forward controls will also help in comfort. I also put an one inche longer Fox shock on it. It could also use 180 rear tire since you can spin the back up much to easy. Great channel.
I had a 'black 21 Street Bob and loved it! That thing ripped. My main complaint was the skinny 150 rear tire. Loved that bike but I just traded it in for the '22 Lowrider S. Keep the great content comin!
The rubber "fork gators..." They cover the part of the fork tubes that slide into and operate where the tubes go through the fork seals. Keeps everyday dirt and grime off them. The seals last longer. Hate the handlebars. Mine got the bar from a Soft tail Slim. And a limited edition FJB emblem on the right side cover!
Hey! Thanks for the heads up about the USB port. I knew there is one, just not where. Oh yeah, flush mount gas caps look good but eventually the pop-up spring WILL break and you are stuck prying the cap up with the tip of your nice pocket knife. Seen it happen several times. Besides, "old school" ain't flush mount...
I've worked for Harley Davidson for almost 20 years, and was never really thrilled with the Softail line until the makeover in 2017. Harley moves slow to change, but when they decide to jump, like the FLHX, they come up aces. Mine' the redline red one.
Nice review MK, I love this bike too, definitely best bang for the buck, it’s like a Sportster on steroids & those cast wheels & 114 are a huge improvement. It’s so light & really handles well, looks great too, stay safe!
What up MK87! Coming from a 2021 Iron 883 River Rock Denim Gray (my very first bike ever) with 13 miles on her traded up to a 2021 9 months later for the Black with the orange graphics. I did not ride the SB 114 stock. I purchased her, had the dealer install Vance and Hines Big Radius full exhaust and had them do the Screaming Eagle Stage 1 tune. I wish I had test driven the SB 114 before the upgrade. But man...coming from a 883 to this torque monster is AMAZING! I have ZERO complaints about this bike whatsoever! Peace out from Tampa.
Just picked this beauty up last week, I am coming from the Sportster 883 and man, that 114 is impressive. can't wait to start making it to my licking. Great review!, keep it up.
@@Zocral for the price difference you're getting an overall better bike. 117, bigger tank, smoother ride, better looks and the gunship gray is sex to me. Ride both back to back n then decide
@@Marvelkid87 awesome channel man. Your reviews are always top notch and full of variety. I know it's going to continue to grow for years to come. Still waiting to see if your going to add the low rider st to the stable! That grey 👌 🔥
Honestly only do what your comfortable with. If it were me you already have that sweet road glide. I'd keep the low rider s you have now and add a stage 2 in the future since you have done so much to it already. I added a stage 2 SE torque cam to my street bob this winter. Looking forward to spring since I'm well north of you in Maine and still can't ride it yet.
I'm tossing up between an Indian Scout Bobber and this the StreetBob 114... Scout Bobber was the reason why i started to learn to ride but in australia we have L/P permits and restricts us from riding bigger powered bikes for 1 year... so it's been 6 months, and I'm still deciding what I should buy when I can.
6'3 and ride a 2020 streetbob with the mid controls. Tbh I am a bit cramped, but the control I get on mids is worth more to me than the comfort of forwards.
I just purchased a 2023 Street Bob in black. Do you have any opinion on the Ohlins suspension that is now available for the Street Bob? Does the Screaming Eagle air filter increase performance. I do plan on switching the saddle to a Mustang seat and adding a Memphis Shade to the front. I also have luggage tie down straps that will allow me to secure my 70 liter roll bag. For every day riding my Nelson Rig Touring Tail bag works fun. What modifications have you made to your bike.
I'm glad I found this video, just bought exactly this one, but black and orange. Haven't ride it yet, dealer is installing new seat, and saddlebags. 😍 hoping the weather gets better soon so I can start riding.
Very nice bike. I got to ride one when it was still on the Dyna frame. Loved it. I think that it would be a nice Softail to own in red with LEDs and a Stage 1.
Great review brother! I have a Black 2019 street bob and I do love it but when I seen the new street bobs with the 114 and the wheels, I just had to do the upgrade. I love the reviews your putting out on the bikes, as it does help. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more reviews. ML&R!
Those fork guards / rubber things do serve a purpose.. so rocks, debris, etc doesn't ding up your forks and ruin the seel then causing you to have to replace the forks..
I have the 2020. Stock seat is terrible. Looks awesome, but not comfortable. Went with a Mustang touring seat with back rest. Looks kind of dorky, but I have put down over 900 miles in a day. I personally love the rubber fork boots, in know I am in the minority, most people I knew don't like them. Mine is the river rock gray (sparkly brown) color. I didn't get the best deal because that was the only color I wanted and this was the only one in the state. No regrets, not the biggest fan of the 2021 and 2022 colors. A stage II kit will actually gave it more than a stock 114, but I am a laid back rider, and the stock 107 is fine. I am 5'1" I am on my tippy toes with touring seat, so they riding position is perfect for me short ass. Great bikes for short rides, I use mine for touring also. If you choose to use it for touring, get rid of stock seat.
Looking to get my first Harley, and I’m really loving this bike. Everyone keeps telling me to start with the iron but I know I’ll outgrow it fast. Might as well get the bigger bike from the start!
hey guy DONT listen to 'others' do what YOU wanna do,same deal when you buy whatever Harley...make it YOUR own not what your buddies or joe-blow down the road youll never see again tells you....YES you will out-grow the sporty(you can always add Harley's 1200cc kit to the 883,giving it alot of snot in the throttle it's a pricey goodie,but youll spend thousands more on the streetbob too) but they are alot of fun too! youll spend alot of cash on future upgrades on your sporty when you progress during ownership with how you ride/drive it...when you get used to it and feeling confident you may desire more power etc BUT...you would save alot off the top in the end vs the street bob price-wise;if cash is not the issue id say go for the streetbob BUT...107 or 114 esp for a 1st Harley or bike,take my advise guy,just take your time with it dont rush or push your limits because you WILL feel this streetbob it pulls like a freight train,if i were you,buy what YOU want! you may buy the sporty and have regrets since you were eyeing the streetbob something to think about for sure! but get what YOU want not what others want youll get 20 opinions from 10 people same with upgrades and goodies,spend and do what YOU want to it or leave it stock you can simply change out grips,foot pegs for a minimal cost too you dont have to spend thousands in upgrades but use caution because it's very easy to climb the ladder with the goodies with Harley and cost;keep this in mind too,your local dealer can always give you a quote on parts/goodies beforehand so you have an idea of what your customization does cost,which you can delete goodies and remember always you can add and do later when you catch up with funds,theres never a rush,so take your time good luck guy!!
Got the fastback blue back in April and have put 5000 miles on the bike. I have grown to appreciate the M8 with time. The only thing I did was change the slip-ons out for S&S slash cuts. Otherwise, the114 M8 has plenty of snot to get the most out of the Softail frame. The seat became tolerable after about 3K miles, but I will probably replace it at some point. All around, I'm happy with the bike and don't have any buyer's remorse.
@@WillieReactsTV not even a 131 will give tou that feeling. But high speed isn’t the reason we ride Harley’s. Cruising and taking in Mother Nature is what it’s all about and popping wheelies and burn outs 😂😂😂
@@Marvelkid87 oh no I 100% agree with you… I rode down to philly and back in my sport back and the next morning I woke up feeling like I was deadlifting 400 pounds lol… sport bike life isn’t for me anymore I mean I love the sport bike life but I can’t just cruise on it , hence the reason why I want a Harley that I can cruise around, hit some twisties up in hawks nest and all over upstate and pull the throttle back and take off as well too once in a while lol
Very happy with my 2021 Street Bob in stone washed white. Gotta say that Red color really pops! Wished they would've with the polished accents on the mag wheels like the Iron 883 has. First add on my 2021 was a Saddlemen Step up seat as the stock seat might look good but it isn't very good and with that 114 torque and it's lack of rise in the back for support you're really having to hold on to not slide off it lol Try to get a Road King Special for a test ride if possible as I'd be interested to see what you think of it.
Hey bro, I know this is an older video, but all I heard is how this is a perfect bike. I agree so much, I don’t have one, but when it’s time the Streetbob is a contender to a Roadking Special for performance and style. I look forward to this deal when it’s time. 👍
I had the 2021 street bob. Upgraded to the 2022 low rider s for the bigger tank and more performance. A great bike for around town tho even tho I did take mine on long rides. I had it set up that way good review bro
For me the problem with a bigger tank is I do group rides. I like to stop about every 150 miles to stretch. I got back knee and hip issues. 20 years Marine infantry does that to you. That tank is a built in excuse to stop. I really think the Street Bob is the best looking Softail and the controls and sitting position are perfect for me. I don't need a 114, I am not a crazy aggressive rider. The problem I have with the 21 & 22 bikes is the colors, they are ok, but I fell in love with the river rock gray and had to have it. Unfortunately, the salesman figured it out and I honestly didn't get the best deal, it was the only one left in Arizona.
@@michaelconran5252 thanks for you service bro. You’ll definitely have to stop and stretch lol. I loved my street bob. I highly recommend it you definitely get more bang for your buck. And as Marvel pointed out I loved those handlebars on it. We do a lot of riding long rides so the bigger tank I needed although they never complain about having to stop lol. That 114 is a beast and honestly since being on the 117 low rider s. I don’t feel much of a difference between the motors I will say the 114 is way more torque to me. It wants to go! Enjoy it bro. For 14,000$ that’s a sweet deal. Ride safe and always remember. When life gets you down………JUST RIDE!
@@michaelconran5252 I got a 21 street bob in white. I honestly was looking at the end of 2020 and REALLY WANTED the 2020 street bob in spruce green. The spruce green to me is an amazing color. Unfortunately I couldn't find 1 in my state and eventually went with the 21 in white. The 107 to me is plenty for the street bob and I would have been perfectly happy with it! That river rock grey is a nice color as well.
@@jacobhiggins1195 agree, the spruce green is nice. I think it beats the 21-22 offerings. But the white and red are OK, the others I wouldn't want. I agree about the 107's power, it is fine.
They do serve a purpose they been around for years they keep dirt out of your forks …Laid-law talks about them I mean so you can’t really say they will keep dirt out and road grime then say they serve no purpose at all haha Stay safe out there 👊🤙
I like the colors on those. Kinda wish the tank had more of a Sportster shape to it. Seems like it'd be a great bike for a beginner rider too. The M8 engine impresses me the more miles I put on it. Great engine.
2021 deadwood green street bob here! First ever bike and it’s absolutely amazing! Took it up to big bear in CA and it handled amazing which took some stress off for myself 😂 great video!
This is not a beginner's bike first of all, that motor on that light frame is a lot quicker than the Fatbob and RG with the same motor because of the weight. Put a Memphis Shades fairing, mini floorboards and a sissy bar to lean your backpack against and tour all over the country with it. You don't need a bagger, I've got the RG Special and the Fatbob and I'm thinking about downgrading to this bike
Awesome. HeyMK 87 question you know on your Low Rider S you changed the rear taillight, you also add a lay down license plate. Is it feasible to put that on 114 Street Bob?
So according to the logic that was laid out in the video, your buddy on the Pan Am, he's on a subpar, inferior motorcycle because it's displacement is less than the street bob, correct?
Looking at this model for my first bike. I know most recommend something smaller but figure just taking it easy for the first little bit I’ll be fine. Also the added power to ride with a passenger. Glad you said it would be ok for a first time rider. Love the look of this bike over others in the cruiser lineups.
@@brennanmcclimon1255 that’s awesome to hear. I’m hoping if all goes well either tomorrow or next week depending, I’ll have either this or an older low rider (2009) just gotta decide on how much I’m wanting to spend right now. Planning to ride to the beach in NC from Virginia at the end of September when my family goes down.
I think if you did some twisties against a GS you’d be smoked. You say it handles well. Then you say it’s for a Sunday cruise to a bar. The best bike for the buck is a Yamaha T700. And it will smoke this bike around any turn. Nice tank though. It comes ready for two up?? A pillion pad?
I have the 2021 black street bob with a stage 2 done check my page out if you want to see it. Love this bike! Do wish they had the red in 2021 I would have gone for it.
Harley Davidson of Lakewood will be delivering my red street bob Sunday. I had them install a torque cam, black tappet covers with black push rod covers, forward controls and Vance and Hines short shots like I had on my 2016 low rider s. I have been riding for almost 60 years. I love this bike and the sound of the short shots with the torque cam. Brings back my younger days. Keep riding it helps you stay young.

Great shop.
I just purchased a 2022 Harley Davidson redline red , and I absolutely love it ! Awesome bike ! And it’s my first Harley-Davidson 😍
I have the 22 street bob gauntlet grey, in complete love with that grey
Thanks for the review. I'm buying one today, I've decide. I got a great deal from the dealer

How did you switch to a 5 gallon tank?
Yeah. Maybe. But it looks like a bunch of bolts. It’s crude looking. I think. Cheap. It could have been better. It’s a pretty tank. What’s with a 114 and these handle bars? It’s nuts. And what’s w the wrinkle finish on the bars and the plain rubber boots on the forks? And the brutish black cast wheels? This is a parade bike imo.
@@davidbeauchamp9663 it's all plug and play. You can use your existing gas pump. I did have a shop cut off the little bracket where the gauges went on in the softail slim tank. And repainted to match the bike.
@@robertlee8042 you gotta remember the street bob is an entry level big twin. It's not going to have all the bells and whistles right out of the factory. The bob is meant to be a blank canvas to customize the bike to your taste.

Hell yea! It’s been a while bro 😎 let’s ride some bikes 🏍
Looking to hopefully pick one up in april or may this year. Originally was going to get a fat bob but this was much more comfortable.

Coming from the sport bike world and riding aggressive… should I get a street bob or low rider s ?
Low rider s has inverted forks so you might be more inclined to that bike especially with the new 117 that it has now.
@@Marvelkid87 and do I need to get a stage 4 kit to get that similar power that I’m used to from a sport bike (2021 zx6r) or is it fine stock ?

Try to get a Road King Special for a test ride if possible as I'd be interested to see what you think of it.

True, seat is the first upgrade you NEED. I knew that going in with all my research it least. Day 1 ordered seat and heated grips.
Thanks for the review, looking forward to more videos
Thanks What would you like to see in the near future.
@@Marvelkid87 , I watch for ride and product reviews plus upgrades to your bike.
@@Marvelkid87 anything on the mid year releases yet?
Hey bro, I know this is an older video, but all I heard is how this is a perfect bike. I agree so much, I don’t have one, but when it’s time the Streetbob is a contender to a Roadking Special for performance and style. I look forward to this deal when it’s time. 👍
I've got a 2019 billiard blue 124 kit - Club Style Street Bob as my daily commuter bike & a 202 ZH2 as my weekend need for speed toy…🤙🏼
Thanks for a great review 👍on the blue are the spark plug wires blue? You got me sold MK 87. How were the back brakes?
I believe those only comes in red but don’t quote me on that rear break is ok …. 🤷🏽♂️ topical Harley rear break lol
The phat screamin eagle spark plug wires come in Black, Red, and Orange only. I got the red ones.
@@Marvelkid87 thanks for info
@@jacobhiggins1195 thanks for the info
I own a 2022 gauntlet grey. It was my 1st Harley
I had the 2021 street bob. Upgraded to the 2022 low rider s for the bigger tank and more performance. A great bike for around town tho even tho I did take mine on long rides. I had it set up that way good review bro
👊🏽😎
For me the problem with a bigger tank is I do group rides. I like to stop about every 150 miles to stretch. I got back knee and hip issues. 20 years Marine infantry does that to you. That tank is a built in excuse to stop. I really think the Street Bob is the best looking Softail and the controls and sitting position are perfect for me. I don't need a 114, I am not a crazy aggressive rider. The problem I have with the 21 & 22 bikes is the colors, they are ok, but I fell in love with the river rock gray and had to have it. Unfortunately, the salesman figured it out and I honestly didn't get the best deal, it was the only one left in Arizona.
@@michaelconran5252 thanks for you service bro. You’ll definitely have to stop and stretch lol. I loved my street bob. I highly recommend it you definitely get more bang for your buck. And as Marvel pointed out I loved those handlebars on it. We do a lot of riding long rides so the bigger tank I needed although they never complain about having to stop lol. That 114 is a beast and honestly since being on the 117 low rider s. I don’t feel much of a difference between the motors I will say the 114 is way more torque to me. It wants to go! Enjoy it bro. For 14,000$ that’s a sweet deal. Ride safe and always remember. When life gets you down………JUST RIDE!
@@michaelconran5252 I got a 21 street bob in white. I honestly was looking at the end of 2020 and REALLY WANTED the 2020 street bob in spruce green. The spruce green to me is an amazing color. Unfortunately I couldn't find 1 in my state and eventually went with the 21 in white. The 107 to me is plenty for the street bob and I would have been perfectly happy with it! That river rock grey is a nice color as well.
@@jacobhiggins1195 agree, the spruce green is nice. I think it beats the 21-22 offerings. But the white and red are OK, the others I wouldn't want. I agree about the 107's power, it is fine.
Would you say that the street bob is a beginner
Had one of these in fastback blue come in the other day. Super tempting!
They do serve a purpose they been around for years they keep dirt out of your forks …Laid-law talks about them I mean so you can’t really say they will keep dirt out and road grime then say they serve no purpose at all haha
Stay safe out there 👊🤙
Hello from Sweden. Love the video man!
One question, where did you buy the cap?😃
Love the feeling of getting new bikes 😍😍
Dealer in CA wanted almost 17K for blue with no upgrades. I walked. I do wish they put the mags on the Deadwood Green 21.
That street bob looks fab. Please don't say cheap, less expensive is good. Power for the money sounds good, tank should be bigger.
Some people like the warm glow of incandescent bulbs. When Harley stops making them, they'll be worth a fortune on the secondary market.
Im 5'8" but only a 28" inseam. Its hard for me to reach the ground on anything.
I like the colors on those. Kinda wish the tank had more of a Sportster shape to it. Seems like it'd be a great bike for a beginner rider too. The M8 engine impresses me the more miles I put on it. Great engine.
I love the fork gators
Good review. However, how is the ride over bumps? You didn't speak much about that. Thanks.
Got mine 2023 yellow
Windshield and bags 🔥🔥 upgraded dyna/fxr or put some risers and tsport faring. Very nice bike.
2022 Harley Davidson Street Bob.
The Colt 1911 of motorcycles.
Everything you need and nothing you don't.
2021 deadwood green street bob here! First ever bike and it’s absolutely amazing! Took it up to big bear in CA and it handled amazing which took some stress off for myself 😂 great video!
How was the bike for it being your first one ? I’m looking at getting this bike for my first bike ever too.
Hi MK , which is better street bob or chief dark horse?
I need a help to decide 😩
I made a video about that bro you’ll get your answer there
This is not a beginner's bike first of all, that motor on that light frame is a lot quicker than the Fatbob and RG with the same motor because of the weight.
Put a Memphis Shades fairing, mini floorboards and a sissy bar to lean your backpack against and tour all over the country with it. You don't need a bagger, I've got the RG Special and the Fatbob and I'm thinking about downgrading to this bike
Awesome. HeyMK 87 question you know on your Low Rider S you changed the rear taillight, you also add a lay down license plate. Is it feasible to put that on 114 Street Bob?
All u need to do is swap the rear fender To low rider fender
Just for the fun of it try out a Tri Glide. I’ve never rode one either be curious to see your thoughts
iv got a 2021 baha orange street bob
Great review, thanks for posting :-)
I did it! Fastback blue aka bandit!
Nice looking bike 🔥...I still love my 48
So according to the logic that was laid out in the video, your buddy on the Pan Am, he's on a subpar, inferior motorcycle because it's displacement is less than the street bob, correct?
The bike looks sharp, I definitely will consider it, You said is not for long distance meaning cross country?
Correct, people donor but there’s better options
Ahem... The rear wheel is a 16 I believe. Tire size is 150/80-16.
Looks like a cool bike to rip around town on. Thanks for the share. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸
Love that dealership. 2 floors. North jersey fuck yea
🤩👊🏽
I will get this bike in 2024
should i trade my 2020fxbb 107 hahaha im so tempted
Looking at this model for my first bike. I know most recommend something smaller but figure just taking it easy for the first little bit I’ll be fine. Also the added power to ride with a passenger. Glad you said it would be ok for a first time rider. Love the look of this bike over others in the cruiser lineups.
I got this as my first bike and I have been in absolute love with it, I plan on taking it on my first long trip from NC to IL
@@brennanmcclimon1255 that’s awesome to hear. I’m hoping if all goes well either tomorrow or next week depending, I’ll have either this or an older low rider (2009) just gotta decide on how much I’m wanting to spend right now. Planning to ride to the beach in NC from Virginia at the end of September when my family goes down.
@@gmwilkes that's amazing, I almost bought the low rider s as but after the test ride I was absolutely sold on the street bob
Awesome Bikes... 👍
Yeah man dig it. The rims suck(only my opinion) but over all its dope. Another excellent review my dude
Spokes blow🤮
@@24james I hate them too but wheels can be changed....
I give this bike so much hate, but idk if its the color this year or what, but this bike is looking good. Those rubber boots are disgusting though.
That red looks amazing but I'm still in love with my 2011 dyna street bob and still not bored with the 110 tire shredder kit I added (106hp/122tq)
👍🏽
Nice looking bike if you want a factory built bobber. Myself, I would rather build my own.
You’re a legend in your own mind💯
Yellow
When you say the fork boots serve no purpose that’s the whole key to the problem. NOTHING that has no purpose should be on a bike.
I think if you did some twisties against a GS you’d be smoked. You say it handles well. Then you say it’s for a Sunday cruise to a bar. The best bike for the buck is a Yamaha T700. And it will smoke this bike around any turn. Nice tank though. It comes ready for two up?? A pillion pad?
Jazzed up iron 883....perfect....looks and grunt...wow
All bike came with the usb
I have the 2021 black street bob with a stage 2 done check my page out if you want to see it. Love this bike! Do wish they had the red in 2021 I would have gone for it.

It’s really difficult to be interested in your videos when you’ve got 1 1/2 minutes daft rubbish music and silly shot
Primitive looking. Doesn’t work aesthetically. IMO.
