Great review. Worlds longest red light.
Darren Robbins oh I may have missed a spot I was going to edit out lol! But yeah I feel like we have the worst lights in the country lol
nah. it was perfect. got to hear the engine idle. nice evil thump
Yes it's so low in seat height but still not for the short leg rider.
Darren Robbins s
Bought one recently followed by a stage 1 with it's first service ..full Vance an Hines an sounds lovely now...fantastic bike all-round xxx
Thanks for the review I enjoyed it but still trying to make up my mind which one to buy. Your really good at doing the reviews with the detail you go into, so keep up the good work dude.
Thanks brother! I really appreciate that!
My fav' too, it and the Sport Glide.
Thanks for a real Lowrider review! When it comes to Softails it's still my first pick, followed by the Slim & Street Bob tied for second.
Ed Black yes I was a lot more impressed with the Lowrider then I thought I'd be. It really surprised me! Great bike
same here, though I don't like that rubber springs on the forks of Street bob, it looks like a 883 not a softail. I often have a passenger so solo seat and chopped fender would not work out for me so have ordered low rider. Slims are really overpriced in Europe, dont know why.
finally, been waiting for a review on this!
Another great review. And thx for the deluxe reply!!!!
At first I didn’t like feel of the bars on my 2018 fxlr. I like that older look however. I put 4” curved risers and I love the feel now too. Got the bonneville salt pearl. Didn’t think I’d ever go for a whiteish bike .love it though. And it’s an effortless ride. Thx
That's great! I bet it looks much better too! I really like the white and I'm not much of a white guy myself. I was looking at some 18 Fxlr builds the other day on IG. I hope to be able to pick one up one day.
Thanks for another awesome video, this would be a good second bike to have for getting around town or going to work.
Brian Cruise it is definitely fun to ride! And thank you!
Thank you for demoing the Low Rider! I think your the first person to do one. Out of all the new 2018's this is the one I like the look of but, like you I was really disappointed that they got rid of the duel front brakes as well.
RoninSoul88 yeah I was a little bummed about that although it had no problem stopping I like having them and like the look. I honestly don't know what Harley's reasoning was behind it but like I mentioned in the video it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me just kind of a disappointment
RoninSoul88 because of the brake noise
I think this is the model I would look into to thanks
Excellent review.
After having demoed the bike over the entire weekend, I'm a big fan of the new Low Rider. Have ordered mine with Stage III (114) and Street Slammer bars and Sundowner seat (stock seat is horrible for pillion). It's going to be a blast - lighter frame, great handling, bigger motor. Agree with you about the dual discs, hopefully in time HD may offer a dual disc upgrade.
thats great! I bet it'll be even more fun with the 114! I'd love to buy a new lowrider but not in the cards at the moment, have to pay down my bike a little more.
That was almost a 3 minute light. lol. Great Vid.
Disclaimer: half the video is the silence at the red light
I grew a beard waiting for that light.
hahaha yeah I missed that one during edit. My bad for making you have to shave after a youtube video! Thanks for pushing thru!
Just out of curiosity, I wonder if it is possible to install the rear fender of a Softail standard, on to the new low rider
Another great review..thx Jax...hey I see u are wearing gloves ! What's up ? Well I have always wore them...
Rick Holder
Actually the reason why I wasn't wearing gloves in the first couple reviews I posted is because they were stolen. Which I think is extremely messed up. So I had to wait for my new ones to come in
Fast-Action Jax wow..that is seriously messed up !
I would have like to see the dual discs up front and an all black S model with the 114 as an option.
dheller777 me too!!
Me too! I'm hoping that that will be one of the mid-year bikes, the 2018 Low Rider S... please!
Joe Glenn
I wish, I'd really love to see that happen
dheller777 inverted forks too
You realize that with dual disc’s in the front as opposed to the single disc the only benefit is you don’t have to squeeze the brake lever as hard there is still the same Brake result with a single disc
Bom vídeo! Infelizmente esse modelo de moto não está disponível no Brasil. Harley-Davidson Lowrider 2018 seria a minha primeira moto!
If your gunna do a full review, then you need to take the beast on a mountain road, how does it handle around bends?
130 mm fork travel in the front sounds great...how much at the rear ?
Looks like the Softail Lowrider. How does it compare to the Dyna Softail LowRider S. I am more into the blacked out look. That's one reason I started on an Iron. I know the Dyna line has been discontinued, and I am not happy at all about it. But what can you do! Keep up with the great videos. I am really jealous of you and Block head living in Florida. I lived in Orlando in 87 & 88 and I wish now I stayed. It's better riding weather than here in NC. Ride safe and keep'em coming.
Jeff Tilghman buy a lowrider s while you can. They can be had new for 16 grand, thats what i paid for mine. Dual disk front brakes, abs, cruise, se cams, se heads, emulsion suspension, excellent bike.
Holy crap that was the longest red light ever! What kinda shoes are those? I really like the low rider but wish the dialed back the chrome on it.
Wish you could just get a black tank with the emblem; I like the bike in black but cannot stand the gaudy red and blue graphics.
Agree. Just the black tank with Harley emblems would look good.
Yep, looks way too 70's AMF IMO. My first thought was if I got one, would change out the tank paint first thing.
Agree 100% same with the fat bob...just doesn’t do it for me. (Paint wise)
tedmongel agreed. If it were me I would probably have the blue and red vinyl covered with flat black. Still add some accent and save the wallet.
Same I’m thinking about the midnight blue or silver blacked out
Nice bike.Some mini apes,and some V&H slip ons would do it for me.I'd probably still go with a Heritage though.
I also prefer the heritage, it's a better ride. The new Fatboy is just much meaner looking
That light lol... I just looked at one today I can’t believe how I had lighter it felt than my 07 softail custom
yeah it blew my mind when I first rode one. They said it was 33 pounds lighter than the previous model but it seems to be a lot lighter than that to me. crazy.
What is compression ratio mean. 8 to 1. 10 to 1. I have no idea
you should have edited out stop at lights, that was wayyyy to long a wait lol but nice bike, really like the look of the lowrider and im only 5ft 6inches so the seat height fits me well, the only thing i would change is handlebars and upgrade pipes, maybe install backrest and thats it.
that stoplight was an editing mistake, I was having trouble rendering that day so I had to include it.
How long is that red light? Put your kickstand down to trip the sensor. The machine didn’t know you were there. I hate long red lights.
wheres this at so I go around the red light
Nice review. I'm in the market, 2nd hand. Which one do you prefer, the Low Rider 107 or the Street Bob 107?. Thanks
You mentioned the travel in the front, but nothing regarding the monoshock's travel. What is it? Also: are the crank webs now welded or still pressed-fit?
I do not know the travel of the rear at this time, all I know is that it's still made by Showa. also they are still press fit, If I remember correctly they are 3 piece. I am not an engineer so I do not know why Harley would go either way on that but I do know that they are press fit because the way the lobes are designed.
Gee they were some long stop lights! I love the lowrider but sadly out of price range. Thanks
yeah I missed that one when editing lol. OOPS. And out of mine too brother! It's the bike I want too :(
Hi is it smooth as the 2018 fatbob
I wish the would have had a low rider on the demo truck. Many people were disappointed they didn't. I'm looking at getting a new Harley in a few months and am debating between this, the slim, and the street bob. Favorite so far is street bob but could not test the low rider to see.
Roscoe Reed I actually haven't ridden the new street bob yet will tomorrow and post it up, if it helps I could shout out to you to tell you the best I can which one I liked better
Fast-Action Jax would be awesome. I didn't think I would like the street bob when I first got on it after riding the slim but I ended up liking it a lot more. In the slim I felt like I was having to use my legs a lot more, not sure if was wind pushing them up or kind of using them as a counter balance type thing if that makes any sense. But they just did not feel firmly planted. On the street bob they were planted and did not go anywhere.
wow, my top three softails )) that was my shortlist as well, just recently made a choice and ordered the low rider.
I drive the Lowrider' 18 now for more than one week...excellent choice! The best price-value...good luck with it
thats awesome! I think you'll like it more than the slim. I know I do.
Please, if it fits so nice, how tall are you?
Are the mid controls alright for long distance? Are they worse than forward controls in any way or is it just preference?
its all personal preference, I hate forwards. it's all about what your used to really. mids are better for performance styled riding because your weight is more forward and forwards are better for more comfortable riding. thats the way I look at it anyway, but it doesnt mean you can ride hard on forwards or ride long on mids
Didn't see the cruise "button" on the left control. Does the Low Rider come with it since it's throttle by wire?
Your right, the one I was riding did not have cruise. I do not know at this time exactly which models cruise will be an option on and which models it wont. harley sent a bulletin stating the Heritage will still have cruise standard and it will "be optional on all other models" but I havent seen a kit yet or any of the other models with it because we're still in the beginning stages of getting the new bikes due to the hurricanes that set us back a little down here in Florida, so I dont want to give any false information.
Thank you. I can confirm that the 107" Heritage does have cruise. I demo'd one last weekend here in San Diego.
yes they started making cruise standard on the heritage in 17.
Great review. With all the new models out is this still worth a look?
Yes, I'd say so. If it's within your budget and you like the style the Lowrider S is also a fantastic bike. But, if you just want something to cruise on, that rides and handles great. The Lowrider is still an excellent choice. Thanks for the complement as well!
illegal to talk at red light .......
Ha, so long at a red light! Have they water cooled the engine?
I need some Loud Pipes for my NEW 2018 Lowrider 107 cubic inch over the OEM, any suggestions would be appreciated?
Rineheart
Screaming eagle short shots I have on mine are nice
I bought and Put on the NEW Screaming Eagle Pipes with the 2 Gaskets and 2 Clamps recommended and cranked it up and Heard a Noticeable Louder Difference, But Not As Loud as I expected it to be, where can I get the Much LOUDER Pipes that Give you that Potato, Potato Sound ? and what would they cost ?
Grind the ends off the pipes, there ya go
I don't want to Fuck Up the Chrome grinding the Ends OFF the pipes, What about Rinehart pipes are they Much Louder than the Screaming Eagle Pipes ?
Does HARLEY DAVIDSON supply a Locking Gas Cap for the 2018 Lowrider 5 gallon tank?
No, but they'll be happy to sell you one...
@@jsprite123 your answer here is contradictory & YES Harley Davidson does indeed supply & sell a chrome Locking gas cap with the HD logo on it and it works perfect and I bought one 2 yrs ago at a Harley Davidson Parts Dept !
@@roberthammes3067 Why is it contradictory? Will Harley sell you one, crying?
my question was does HARLEY DAVIDSON supply a locking gas cap for my 18 Lowrider 5 gal tank & you answered No but they'll be happy to sell you one, how the hell is the HARLEY Dealer gonna be happy to sell you a Locking Gas Cap when you answered NO Hello! that's Contradicting !
@@roberthammes3067 What part of No (they don't supply a locking gas tank with the bike) but Yes (implied) they can sell one (it is in their catalog) you did not get?
Harley Roadster review next?
yes! I was going to do one the other day, brought the bike out and everything but got pulled away. I ridden the roadster on the track, So i definitely have some experience on that model
I fell asleep at the red light.. fucked up thing is, I woke up and you were still there..
Hi jax , do u think this bike could handle as well as the new fatbob , like to get your take on the comparison between the 2 bikes
montha123
they handle differently but preform pretty similarly. the fat bob puts you in a more upright position so in your head you will feel like it is a little sportier but they both ride really nicely. I don't like the bars on the Lowrider personally but if it had bars closer to the ones on the fat bob I think they would handle about the same. The Lowrider is a more comfortable ride but the fat bob is more fun. You would definitely have to ride them both and see for yourself. I really don't know which of the 18s I buy given the opportunity honestly
Fast-Action Jax thanks , the double console on the tank looks a good stand out piece plus the tank is 5.3 litres bigger on this bike , only problem is there's lots more polishing on this bike by the looks of it :) do the 2 fuel caps open ? Or is it just the right hand side
Nothing worse than sitting at a red light and that was painful to watch. Glad I wasn't sitting at it. Great review, I'll have to seriously consider this bike. Mid controls felt a bit cramped to me and I'm short. would have to change them out.
haha I agree, I made a mistake and uploaded the wrong edited video lol. but I love the lowrider and its going to be my next purchase I've decided. out of all the 18's the lowrider is my favorite
How tall are you jax?
Jason Tharaldsen
I'm 6 foot
Buckhorn handles, ugg, glad I bought my 2014.
greg agnello as a sports bike rider I loved the design of this low rider in the electric blue. I loved it so much I am now the proud owner of a sports bike and a harley
Sounds Electric, what happened Harley?
That ridiculous silence while you were at the traffic light should have been edited out!
Meohmy
Yes your 100 percent right! And if you read the 100 other comments you'll know why it wasn't. We're all human here
No more duel disks ! That sucks!
Chris Fernandez yes I agree
My 2007 lowrider doesn't have dual disk brakes
It just looks long like a breakout to me for looks I still like Dyna better I don’t know how that thing rides though?
It surprised me, You'd think it would handle horribly with the 240/160 combo but it actually handles pretty well. your not going to want to take it to the track lol but it rides nice.
Harley-Davidson dealerships across the country are about to see a spike in sales of Dynas. Harley-Davidson screwed the pooch on this one. I'm sure the new motor is great, but chuckled when the 8 valve, 4 plug, newly designed, high tech 107 M8 puts out less power than it's only 3 inch bigger older counterpart :-P
Zachary Yost that'd be awesome but I doubt it because I can tell you from being in the dealership everyday that no one was buying them at all. All the Dyna guys think that they are what keeps Harley afloat but Harley's least sold motorcycles for the last few years was the Dyna, all those guys buy used. I love the Dyna and hated to see it go but it's because no one bought them that they got cut
Fast-Action Jax but what is annoying is the fact they eliminated them all together. They say it's a better frame but it's not hard to put two and two together that it was a move to cut costs
Zachary Yost oh I agree, I was pissed at first. Especially because my favorite model was the fxdls and they did such a great job on it, I felt like they were starting to go in the right direction with them, even more so cause when I was sent on a trip by the motor company I saw some of the fxdls prototypes before it was released and all of them were the shit, one even had an fxr fairing. So with that in my mind when the 18's were released I was shocked. So now I don't know what is going on BUT they also said they are releasing 26 new models over the next few years, so more are coming. Who knows what they will be. With the Dyna gone they could beef up the sporty and make it the new Dyna with bigger motor or something who knows. Time will tell I guess. If I've ever learned anything working for Harley is they always have tricks up their sleeve like when everyone thought the road glide got cut in 14 and it came back badass
Fast-Action Jax hopefully they dont ruin the sportster, would be a little less butt hurt if they killed the dyna names with the discontinuation of the dyna frame. Right now, nothing they offer to get me to part with my fxdls. Again, I feel this whole thing was to cut costs and maximize profit from the bikes they are selling. Less welds, no dual disk brakes.
Yeah Harley Davidson has always been pretty secretive about their actions and what they are doing. I get why they kept the names of the dynas to reduce confusion but I agree with you that the 2018 street bob is not a street bob because its not a dyna yunno? we will see what happens from here I guess. I know a change to the sportster is coming. we'll see if its good or bad.
longest red light EVER!!! wish the paint job didnt suck
TheJudge442 we got the white one in today and it's pretty awesome
Did you really just make us sit through a red light?
Longest stop light ever
Please stop at the stop signs and use your turning signal. We have it bad enough as it is with cagers not respecting us. No need to make it worse. Nice review.
Dude why not edit out that red light? Wtf haha
HA! I did but uploaded the wrong video
First things first get rid of those stupid handle bars
Second powder coat all that chrome
My Man!! absolutely! We are on the same page, This is actually my favorite of the new M8 softails, But those bars are hideous! I would change them immediately, put a fairing on it and powdercoat for sure!

Looks like they copied an early 90s Kawasaki
"HARLEY DAVIDSON" Milwaukee Iron is Made in America, by Americans, for Americans
Except all the parts, which are made in china :p . But I'm still thinking of moving from my indian scout to the lowrider. I want something a little bigger and more comfortable but Indian goes from the scout to Ginormous with no in between.
#pleasesavethedynasmodels
all that talk is distracting from the music !! potato potata
A Low Rider on a
Softail frame? Blasphemy. Bring back the Dyna.
