I went back and watched this video again because I just bought a used '19 Low Rider as my first Harley. The previous owner changed the bars to the mini apes that the Softail Standard has and I really like them. I also changed the mids to forward controls. Even though I'm 5'8", I still felt cramped. The forwards on this bike are a game changer. I also love the Wicked Cherry paint.
I love the fact you aren’t just a Harley fan. I’ve owned a bunch of bikes. They all have good and bad points. Love that the new Showa (Honda) suspension is working so well. Thanks for an unbiased perspective! Groms rule!
I have a 2017 street bob and my dad has a 2017 low rider, the only difference is that my dad's has a tachometer and mine doesn't. Love em both but the low rider is the better buy for sure.
The interesting thing that people are saying about the 107 versus the 114 is that the 107 because it has a shorter stroke is much snappier than the 114 but the 114 has a much smoother but more prominent power delivery and many people think that the snappier 107 feels faster at first because of that
Bought a 2019 low rider in midnight blue in Sept, put Cobra NH exhaust on it love the sound. Couldn't be happier with the bike, lots of power, great cruiser.
For those of you who do not like the stock "mid controls" you can get forward controls, that look stock off of either the 2019 Street Bob (pegs) or the 2019 Softtail Slim (running boards) if you do the stock mounts they will be black just like the frame, or order the ones out of the parts book that are chrome. After the mounts, brake lever, shift lever and linkage, the plug for the primary cover, pegs or floor boards you will be out a little over $500 depending on how out of control you went on the additional items over the mounts.
I bought the 2020 low rider earlier this year I watched this video and the one with you and Captain Ana test riding the 2020 models and you guys sold me. I love it! Keep up the good work
If the bike you're giving away is a lowrider as an overseas Patron I'm not going to be eligible to get it. However, as I intend to get a Lowrider when I return to the UK in 2021 this is what I've got planned and I would be so made up if you also did some of this. 1. Stage 3 with Bassani Black Radius Sweeper exhaust and fuelpak tuner. 2. Blacked out everything. Powder coat the engine etc. 3. Replace the bars with a blacked out set. 4. Replace the instrument cluster with a blacked out set. 5. Upgrade front brakes, if possible to a dual disc 4 piston set, if not possible then to a 6 pistion front set/ 6. LED turn signals front and rear and LED rear light.
We know who the OG is champ. For those you can’t on TH-cam, copy the ones who can. Just know you got a strong community behind you, and the personality makes the channel. The fakes will fall, but the true OG’s will be standing in the end. Until next time OG, Jay
Stephen Tillman I’m not going to say there names for the exact reason which you mentioned above, but there are a couple in which I have seen that you could clearly tell, and it was honestly just pathetic. But also the whole comment sections of a couple of those videos where people just going in on them, so like I said in my original post, the OG will stand in the end.
Well I can respect that, also mentioning the name would probably start some unnecessary drama. I'm a fan of a few harley/street motovloggers and overtime everyones content seems to mesh but I cant say I've even seen any of them to bite eachothers ideas. Theres only so many ways to skin a cat, if and when I start doing test ride videos I'll look to the big channels for inspiration but always put my twist on it in the end.
MotoRickyRicardo See but you said the most important thing of it, is for inspiration. I also am a fan of a few other motorcycle channels, but also they have respect for each other, they do something someone else does, they mention that person, they just don’t nab the idea as their own, but I wish you the best when you start your motovlogs. Going to drop a sub on your channel, so when you start, I got you brother
I have the 2018 in the dark cherry. Love it. I don't get the dislike of the buckhorn bars. They look and feel fine to me. I have the luggage rack and sissy bar and short windshield. Stock exhaust. Im 5'7'' so the seat is perfect. With a set of waterproof bags I can comfortably go cross country on it.
Small pick, but I'm not as big a fan of the new kick stand as you are. Seems to grab at the pavement as you lean it over vs sliding over the pavement like the old style. I find myself more confident in the lock position of my older bike vs my 2018.
It's a great bike and I have added stage 2 and this Winter going to go with stage 4. I don't really need anymore power but it will sure sound even better. At this time I am at 109 Hp and 129 FPT with Basanni Road Rage 3.
I would love a Low Rider with Forwards and a Brow Eliminator bracket and ABS. Bike would be THE classic Harley Bigtwin with that. This bike sounds AWESOME with Cobra Neighbor Hater pipes.
I picked up the 2018 low rider a few months ago. Jumped up from a Sportster to my first Softail.. bike is awesome. i actually like the bars, but each to their own :)
I was interested in buying because I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. I was held back by the purchase because of the sound. Not even complete stage 1 can make it sound like "real Harley" so I'm meditating on buying the old generation with the 1690cc or a VN 900 to "pump".
Still love my '09 Low Rider. We don't see a lot of them here in the Boston area and I get a lot of compliments. We have a lot of Street Glides and now Road Glides are appearing everywhere up here, but man, my FXDL is SO much fun I can't sell it! Still on the stock seat though... why haven't I swapped that out??? Thanks for the reminder. A quick upgrade can make all the difference in a bike!
Nice review. I have an 18' Low Rider and love it. Upgraded exhaust, open air and a FP3 does wonders for this engine. It was a nice engine before but great now. Keep up the good work. 👍
This was going to be the replacement for my 2005 Sportster 1200 Roadster. I believe that the tire sizes are the same. The 5 gallon tank would've come in handy out West compared to the 3.3 gallon tank on the Roadster. Unfortunately, my brother in law lost his battle with Agent Orange and I don't think I'll be going to Beartooth Pass again. And then Harley discontinued the model. Oh well. The only thing I don't like is the exhaust pipes...I'm partial to staggered shorty duals like my Roadster has. They just look right. Thanks for the review.
I bought a 2018 lowrider in April and I love it I'm 5'4" and it fits me perfect and handles like a dream I don't plan on changing anything but the mufflers. I was very upset with Harley because they came out with a midnight blue lowrider my favorite color
I actually like the bars on that bike. I'm used to riding my Honda Shadow Ace which has the exact same style bars I believe taht they are named beach bars. They allow me to lean back and still reach the handlebars it makes for a much more relaxed ride. I feel that if you are an aggressive rider those bars definitely would not be for you.
great review. a silly question - if the bars are not so hot with most of the reviews I've seen, why are HD not doing anything about it ? must be $$$. What would be a nicer flattish bar to install ? trackers with risers ?? is width of 32 " reasonable to steer the thing at walking speeds ?
Now That's a H-D i could get myself when i get older. As far Cruisers goes. That's a good looking, seems to ride well enough and is priced... acceptably. H-D is always a little high priced, but i can see this being defendable.
Hi! I'm 6,069 inches i think this bike can suit for me but most importantly can lowrider be a beginner bike ? :) I'm dying to ride this beauty but i need some advices :)
I like the gages, my '15 needs longer legs on the speedo. I don't like that they apparently did away with the adjustable riser. I don't like that they took out the logo inset on the driver portion of the seat. It takes away from the personality of the bike IMO. The controls look more forward than previous (Dyna) platforms. I like the kick stand location.
Love your vids block, are these still worth a look considering all the new models out now? Thinking about costs of new bikes, if this was 10k cheaper than the new 117, is it worth it?
Amazing colour. I would have sworn it was black until you hopped of at the end and the sun caught it. Kind of digging the bike though. I agree the bars would have to be changed but by the looks of things the cables and brake lines have a decent length on them because of the back swept buckhorn style bars, probably enough to maybe put some mini apes or t-bars on? Might have to go and test ride one when I get a chance down here. Peace and love.
I may actually be able to get the black one nice I didn’t like the red and blue design but if I can get a normal low rider with it mostly black and chromed out I’m in it’ll be a while as I just got my first bike a 883 I think a 107 will be a good enough upgrade I don’t need no 114 lol
Lots of love from India ...... today itself I got a chance to test ride this awesome bike, only I don't have such a nice empty road as roads in India are crowded as hell .......
thanks for the review. This bike really looks great. However, would you recommend it for a guy that has 0 motorcycle experience? I am already 48 years old, so I know from myself that I can controle myself very well. The main reason I would think about getting this bike is because I just love Harley Davidson, the bike is very low (I am short) and it gives me the opportunity to travel. First I will need to follow some basic courses of course
Looks like a great starting point for a tricked out work of art to collaborate with Standard Moto and Shawn Michaels. Go for it... Release the Kracken!
yer i see a couple of them doing the 91 dead dinos and the dues with the fingers but your VLOGS are better and you test rides are offer more info so don't let it get to you and congrats on 103K subs mate wow thats hugh.
I am 6'3" and looking to purchase one sometime in the future. You said the handle bars would have to go. Could you explain a little? You mean to extend them taller? I gave a Drz400s suzuki for my off road bike now. Thanks for the video
@@stevenbrooks3671 this one doesn't have the adjustable risers. What I did to mine is I angled them further forward to make it similar to mini apes. Rise is perfect but you can't get rid of the weird wrist angle/position from the buckhorn shaped bars. Still feel a big difference and it gives me much better control without changing the bars.
The perfect middleweight HD still doesn’t exist, but this might work for me. I was thinking maybe Sport Glide or Heritage but they’re just too expensive. I’d have to buy used with higher mileage to get near the price of the Low Rider. For near $20k I’d rather just jump to the touring class even if the Softails handle better. Anyway, need to test ride one myself. Hoping that HD decides to keep making all-new Softail models or something else to get their blood pumping .
Nice video. But tell me, have you ridden the 2016-19 Motto Guzzi Eldorado ? I am stuck trying to decide bewteen the MG Eldordo and the 2018-19 Harley Low Rider. It seems by comparing the two bikes on paper that the MG is a better value in many respects (it also has a rep that is it is a very smooth ride). What are your thoughts between the two of them ? *I currently own a 2016 MG V7II and a 2015 Harley Super Low 1200T
Haha rain on the Low Rider um.....tested a CVO in rain and felt bad! Well keep the faith Blockhead the Low Rider will continue to get rained on but the CVO will be safe in a trailer to be ridden in Sun shine with a maximum yrly mileage of 1500 miles😜............Ride hard or stay home😎
Hey Mr Blockhead, Can you tell something about the difference between the 107 and the 114 models? Do you really feel the difference? And please and the metric specs 😉
Hey man, how does this compare to the dyna low rider? I was kinda hoping for that comparison. I get that the suspension is better and there is lots of power but...? I've test driven a few of the new M8 bikes, even the FXDR and I still think my LRS has a bit more punch (I've only got slip-ons on my LRS and no tune). What do you think? Anyhow thanks for the review...perhaps the rain derailed the important bits I was hoping for.
hahaha, most humorous ! yes , i think that those foot pegs are for crusing, the touring pegs are further up on the crash bar. . . how do those feel when you ride?? is it easier to control the balance , and with the leaning when turning? and no , i do not own a road bike. have not been on one to ride, or to be a passenger. sat on one at the dealership, on the sales floor. the salesman held the bike level ( while at the front) while i sat on it. got off, then mounted it again without his help. he got edgy. have not been back. lol, yes the exhaust sounds really cool. awsome video !!
Dont know if you're still in the market, but if you havent gone. Cajun harley davidson in Scott, la is a great place full of great people. Not just in it for the sale. They want to make the people that go there feel welcome and want to keep coming back even if not buying anything. Highly recommend them
Would love to see, and value you opinion. But, would love to see a Softail Low Rider vs The Sport Glide. Comparison video. They seem extremely similar (minus price) and I haven't seen, and I have searched. Love your channel. 👍
Something isn’t quite right (in my eyes) about the styling of the Softail lowrider. Maybe if Harley made an S (ape’ing your FXDLS!) that was blacked out, lower bars, and a better looking seat... alas, that didn’t happen for 2019. :(
I’m looking at buying either a 2016 Low Rider S or a 2018 Low Rider. I’ll be testing riding both of them soon but I was wondering how the two compare out on the road? They’re both going for the same price and have about 7000 miles on them. Looking at the specs online, I see the Low Rider S makes a bit more power, but since the M8 Low Rider is a little lighter and stiffer, I figure it’s not too much of a difference?
The 2016 Low Rider S is completely different than the 2020 LRS. Ride them both and decide which you like. The softail (2018) will be more comfortable. The dyna (2016) looks better in my opinion.
Good job ! Well, i didn't understand when you said you would like to change the bars, i didn't understand the reason ... thanks in advance ! Friendly from France !
I cannot stop watching this video! Hahaha! This weekend I’m going in to trade my 2017 Iron883 for this exact model and color. Rode her at the York, PA plant open house last weekend and fell in complete love, which is funny because I initially wrote this bike off just because of all the chrome. It has grown on me simply because the contrast with that color is sick!!! Since this bike is fly by wire I’m going to add cruise control for those longer highway trips. CANNOT WAIT. Thanks for the excellent review Block! Pretty soon I’ll be drooling on the bike instead of my phone! ;)
Tim Dunbar hey Tim, I'm from Pa. & was also at the open house but didn't wait in line to test ride this bike. I also ride a Sportser but am thinking about moving up to this bike. Just wondering if you made the move & if you like it? If so do you miss your Sportser?I love my sportster but guess I should test ride one myself.
Jim Mansi hey man! First off, yes, I absolutely miss my Sportster! I put over 13,000 miles on her! It’s for sale at Lancaster HD right now. I did get the Low Rider and love the bike. Only disclaimer is Harley-Davidson currently does NOT have forward controls for this bike. I unfortunately found this out after I put my order in. However, there is a way to put forwards on with parts of the Breakout. If you Google search you’ll be sure to find it. The bike is a freaking MONSTER. It’s so balanced and stable. I feel so much more planted when I ride and especially riding in the rain. The handlebars are very different then anything I rode before and it did take some practice to do a good right turn from a stop. Seat is amazing. Already did a 300+ mile day already and could have gone another 300 miles. Do yourself a favor brother and go teat ride one either now or next Spring. Hit me up if you have any more questions.
Tim Dunbar Thanks for the info. I'm gonna check one out this week at Hannums & I know I'm gonna want one but will prob have to wait till spring to make a move. I actually like the mid controls, they look like they're in between mids & forwards. I'm glad you like it & most people do miss their Sportsers, they're awesome bikes. I may msg you in the future if I have questions, thanks!
I went back and watched this video again because I just bought a used '19 Low Rider as my first Harley. The previous owner changed the bars to the mini apes that the Softail Standard has and I really like them. I also changed the mids to forward controls. Even though I'm 5'8", I still felt cramped. The forwards on this bike are a game changer. I also love the Wicked Cherry paint.
Do you still have your bike? I ask because I recently bought a 19’ Low rider wicked cherry in Florence, SC.
I love the fact you aren’t just a Harley fan. I’ve owned a bunch of bikes. They all have good and bad points. Love that the new Showa (Honda) suspension is working so well. Thanks for an unbiased perspective! Groms rule!
The best hd, was almost at the same price than a street bob but classic looking and with a real tank, and Harley killed it...
At close to the same price as the street bob I think this is the better option .
Few hundred more for this vs Street Bob, I'm w/ you, I'd probably go Low Rider also 👍
Larger fuel tank, analog, traditional gauges....I agree...a better value.
I have a 2017 street bob and my dad has a 2017 low rider, the only difference is that my dad's has a tachometer and mine doesn't. Love em both but the low rider is the better buy for sure.
Everybody gets a SB! Soooo Low Rider is the way if your not a sheep!.....Ride hard or stay home😎
Low rider would be my,choice but no 114 motor would like that
The interesting thing that people are saying about the 107 versus the 114 is that the 107 because it has a shorter stroke is much snappier than the 114 but the 114 has a much smoother but more prominent power delivery and many people think that the snappier 107 feels faster at first because of that
Bought a 2019 low rider in midnight blue in Sept, put Cobra NH exhaust on it love the sound. Couldn't be happier with the bike, lots of power, great cruiser.
I did exactly the same thing. Same color, same exhaust. Picked mine up at the end of August. Once I start riding I never want to stop.
For those of you who do not like the stock "mid controls" you can get forward controls, that look stock off of either the 2019 Street Bob (pegs) or the 2019 Softtail Slim (running boards) if you do the stock mounts they will be black just like the frame, or order the ones out of the parts book that are chrome.

1. Stage 3 with Bassani Black Radius Sweeper exhaust and fuelpak tuner.
2. Blacked out everything. Powder coat the engine etc.

4. Replace the instrument cluster with a blacked out set.

I have the 2018 in the dark cherry. Love it. I don't get the dislike of the buckhorn bars. They look and feel fine to me. I have the luggage rack and sissy bar and short windshield. Stock exhaust. Im 5'7'' so the seat is perfect. With a set of waterproof bags I can comfortably go cross country on it.
Rode this bike today and I friggin love it! Definitely looking like this might be my first harley.
Happened to me. Bought it the same day after a short ride. Look back and think if I did the right thing. It was just meant to be I guess
Love the vids brother. Youre the only tuber ill watch ads for 😂. Keep it up!
Small pick, but I'm not as big a fan of the new kick stand as you are. Seems to grab at the pavement as you lean it over vs sliding over the pavement like the old style. I find myself more confident in the lock position of my older bike vs my 2018.
Great review! I purchased an 18 Fatboy 114, I love the ride with the new suspension. Torque is the name with this engine.
Marty Porter Sr have you noticed any lean angle issues with the Fatboy? Any major scraping or not so much
No issues with scrapping on either side. I am 58 and retired
It's a great bike and I have added stage 2 and this Winter going to go with stage 4. I don't really need anymore power but it will sure sound even better. At this time I am at 109 Hp and 129 FPT with Basanni Road Rage 3.
Marty Porter Sr love the sound from Bassani’s. Congrats on the bike, brother. Ride safe out there
2020 Low Rider S with 114 and stage 1. No scraping so far either. God is she fast though.
Nice bike. The headlight brow bracket and tank style remind me of my sporty.
I would love a Low Rider with Forwards and a Brow Eliminator bracket and ABS.
Bike would be THE classic Harley Bigtwin with that.
This bike sounds AWESOME with Cobra Neighbor Hater pipes.
Yep it does sound good, I have some on mine.
I picked up the 2018 low rider a few months ago. Jumped up from a Sportster to my first Softail.. bike is awesome. i actually like the bars, but each to their own :)
Exhaust?
Federico Samperi not yet. Stage 1 next year.. spent all my money on the bike itself. Not sure if I'll do slip-ons or full yet
I was interested in buying because I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. I was held back by the purchase because of the sound. Not even complete stage 1 can make it sound like "real Harley" so I'm meditating on buying the old generation with the 1690cc or a VN 900 to "pump".

Still on the stock seat though... why haven't I swapped that out??? Thanks for the reminder. A quick upgrade can make all the difference in a bike!
I just bought the 2019 Low Rider in Midnight Blue. It is an incredible bike...
Nice review. I have an 18' Low Rider and love it.
Upgraded exhaust, open air and a FP3 does wonders for this engine. It was a nice engine before but great now.
Keep up the good work. 👍

I traded mine in for the 883. Milwaukee 883. Does about 200mph.
Ryan Bruneau nice one
Yee haw
Love my 2018 low. my 4th Harley and by far the best.Put a Saddlemen Explorer seat on it and can ride all day.
Would you ever do a review an comparison to HD on the 2019 Indian lineup
CHEF on_2 never fails in any Harley rides video you can find this comment. He’s said so many times he loves all bikes. So I’d say yes.
Already planned out and incoming! 👍
Now That's a H-D i could get myself when i get older. As far Cruisers goes. That's a good looking, seems to ride well enough and is priced... acceptably. H-D is always a little high priced, but i can see this being defendable.
I have a 2018 Low Rider and I love it. As soon as I can find some cables for it I’m putting a set of Lucky Dave’s 14” San Diego bars on it.
Hi! I'm 6,069 inches i think this bike can suit for me but most importantly can lowrider be a beginner bike ? :) I'm dying to ride this beauty but i need some advices :)
Wish they would have offered a different design scheme on the tank. Not really into the 80's aesthetic design.
Foundry X agreed, and would like it if there was a blacked out option as well.
Great vid BH....as always. Love this bike.
I like the gages, my '15 needs longer legs on the speedo. I don't like that they apparently did away with the adjustable riser. I don't like that they took out the logo inset on the driver portion of the seat. It takes away from the personality of the bike IMO. The controls look more forward than previous (Dyna) platforms. I like the kick stand location.
These low riders are interesting, they kind of sit in a class of their own. Most people see the streetbob, fatbob, softail slim, breakout
Love your vids block, are these still worth a look considering all the new models out now? Thinking about costs of new bikes, if this was 10k cheaper than the new 117, is it worth it?
Forward controls are great on these if you're a tall rider.
New Blockhead... love your vlogs. Planning on 883 purchase as first bike.
Good choice always loved my 883's😎
Amazing colour. I would have sworn it was black until you hopped of at the end and the sun caught it.
Kind of digging the bike though.
I agree the bars would have to be changed but by the looks of things the cables and brake lines have a decent length on them because of the back swept buckhorn style bars, probably enough to maybe put some mini apes or t-bars on?
Might have to go and test ride one when I get a chance down here.
Peace and love.
It swings both ways, at 29.6 degrees? I cant tell you how much my OCD appreciates this! Awesome looking bike btw
I love H-D; Low Rider 2019.
I may actually be able to get the black one nice I didn’t like the red and blue design but if I can get a normal low rider with it mostly black and chromed out I’m in it’ll be a while as I just got my first bike a 883 I think a 107 will be a good enough upgrade I don’t need no 114 lol
Lots of love from India ...... today itself I got a chance to test ride this awesome bike, only I don't have such a nice empty road as roads in India are crowded as hell .......
Just bought one of these, what an excellent bike.
What’s the name of the handle bars? I like them, relaxing bars, tnx
Dyna 2017 vs Lowrider 2019 vs 1200 custom 2019. Which one is truly worth it ?
Lemme guess, a low rider S style build on the 2019 model, with a 114 and blacked out accessories in the works?
thanks for the review. This bike really looks great. However, would you recommend it for a guy that has 0 motorcycle experience? I am already 48 years old, so I know from myself that I can controle myself very well.

Nice video! Nice bike! I’ll be dreaming of that one tonight and then I’m back to dreaming about a Dark Horse!
I’m looking at buying either a 2016 Low Rider S or a 2018 Low Rider. I’ll be testing riding both of them soon but I was wondering how the two compare?
Nice bike but I still prefer the blacked out look of the Lowrider S. Not to mention that it comes with the 110 😁 Super Nice review Blockhead
NEEK __ You have good taste in bikes Sir 🤙
@@SkidPig thank you.
He has one and the 110 is great but this 107 will smoke it.
@@WoodyRides we know blockhead has a Lowrider S, & I cant say that I agree with you that this bike would beat it..
NEEK __ block as said it multiple times
More power than your FXDLS?
Similar! I think the 107 might be a _little_ bit slower but would have to put them against each other to see!
Good review. It's crazy that they didn't black this bike out.
Wish they have chrome or blacked version for each bike
I saw your name and thought it was my comment
This bike would look dope blacked out. Way too much chrome how it sits. Logan Smith 😂
Agree. If they would black this out, then I would seriously consider buying it. As it looks now, not so much.
@Michale RedCrow LOL! 😂
Great review, and the dash was clearly visible. Nice!
Looks like a great starting point for a tricked out work of art to collaborate with Standard Moto and Shawn Michaels. Go for it... Release the Kracken!
Would you say that a lowrider is a good first bike
If you could can you ride the 1200 custom pls
yer i see a couple of them doing the 91 dead dinos and the dues with the fingers but your VLOGS are better and you test rides are offer more info so don't let it get to you and congrats on 103K subs mate wow thats hugh.
🤘
Am I wrong 144nm, almost 100 bhp and 1740cc compared to Indian Scout who is same bhp but less torque and cc so if I m right low rider is better?
I do like that new midnight blue color!
If I didn't want bags on my next bike, it'd probably be that one! haha
Airborne 28 they have a new quick attach system to add bags
I am 6'3" and looking to purchase one sometime in the future. You said the handle bars would have to go. Could you explain a little? You mean to extend them taller? I gave a Drz400s suzuki for my off road bike now. Thanks for the video
am with you on the bars , keep thinking my hands are sliding off.
Good review, very helpful, congrats and thanks .
always enjoy your videos also i like this 2019 Harley-Davidson Low Rider and yes would change bars
Adam didnt mention if the 19 low rider has the adjustable handle bars like my 15
@@stevenbrooks3671 this one doesn't have the adjustable risers. What I did to mine is I angled them further forward to make it similar to mini apes. Rise is perfect but you can't get rid of the weird wrist angle/position from the buckhorn shaped bars. Still feel a big difference and it gives me much better control without changing the bars.
The perfect middleweight HD still doesn’t exist, but this might work for me. I was thinking maybe Sport Glide or Heritage but they’re just too expensive. I’d have to buy used with higher mileage to get near the price of the Low Rider. For near $20k I’d rather just jump to the touring class even if the Softails handle better. Anyway, need to test ride one myself. Hoping that HD decides to keep making all-new Softail models or something else to get their blood pumping .
Nice video. But tell me, have you ridden the 2016-19 Motto Guzzi Eldorado ? I am stuck trying to decide bewteen the MG Eldordo and the 2018-19 Harley Low Rider. It seems by comparing the two bikes on paper that the MG is a better value in many respects (it also has a rep that is it is a very smooth ride). What are your thoughts between the two of them ?
*I currently own a 2016 MG V7II and a 2015 Harley Super Low 1200T
I stand around 6'1-6'2 would this be a decent sized bike for me?
Hey blockhead can I ask you to test ride a Dyna wide glide and GoPro it with all the information on it in clueing price of that bike.
Haha rain on the Low Rider um.....tested a CVO in rain and felt bad! Well keep the faith Blockhead the Low Rider will continue to get rained on but the CVO will be safe in a trailer to be ridden in Sun shine with a maximum yrly mileage of 1500 miles😜............Ride hard or stay home😎
No difference between the 18 and 19?
nick dunse just colors
Hey Mr Blockhead, Can you tell something about the difference between the 107 and the 114 models? Do you really feel the difference?
And please and the metric specs 😉
Please review the SLIM.
Please
Hey man, how does this compare to the dyna low rider? I was kinda hoping for that comparison. I get that the suspension is better and there is lots of power but...? I've test driven a few of the new M8 bikes, even the FXDR and I still think my LRS has a bit more punch (I've only got slip-ons on my LRS and no tune). What do you think? Anyhow thanks for the review...perhaps the rain derailed the important bits I was hoping for.
Wish my FXBB'18 has this tank size. Stopping every 170 km is so annoying
What are your thoughts on the sport glide? Difference between 18 &19
Why didn't you do a deluxe test ride??
hahaha, most humorous !
yes , i think that those foot pegs are for crusing, the touring pegs are further up on the crash bar. . . how do those feel when you ride?? is it easier to control the balance , and with the leaning when turning?
and no , i do not own a road bike. have not been on one to ride, or to be a passenger.
sat on one at the dealership, on the sales floor. the salesman held the bike level ( while at the front) while i sat on it. got off, then
mounted it again without his help. he got edgy. have not been back.
lol, yes the exhaust sounds really cool.
awsome video !!
Great review. Thanks 👍🏻
When will you be doing a review on the Fat Bob 114? Red denim if possible
Throw some T bars on and club style out this bike! I bet it would look so sick! Keep up the great reviews man!
Also why cant they make it in a stock blacked out? Maybe next year!
Does this bike also come with a 114? Great review tho I like how you list the specs . Most vids dont
Can u do review on the 2019 soft tail slim. Do u think that the soft tail is the new v rod without the liquid cool ?
Hi you think its a good beginners bike
Love this bike.
BaggerBro I’m riding one with a stage 4 tomorrow bro!!! I can’t wait 🤙
But there's no bags on it!
They can always be added lol
Heavily leanin towards this bike
Well iam 5 11 and never own one befor but sure would like to try one out at cajun cycle in scott la
Dont know if you're still in the market, but if you havent gone. Cajun harley davidson in Scott, la is a great place full of great people. Not just in it for the sale. They want to make the people that go there feel welcome and want to keep coming back even if not buying anything. Highly recommend them
Would love to see, and value you opinion. But, would love to see a Softail Low Rider vs The Sport Glide. Comparison video.
They seem extremely similar (minus price) and I haven't seen, and I have searched.
Love your channel. 👍
Been looking at the CB300R; sort of like a big boy Grom. Has anyone found a fender eliminator for this bike? :)
Thanks for your time guys.
you really made me feel good about this bike because i cant afford the low rider s or fat bob right now
Nice. Is there any after sales service in India.
Something isn’t quite right (in my eyes) about the styling of the Softail lowrider. Maybe if Harley made an S (ape’ing your FXDLS!) that was blacked out, lower bars, and a better looking seat... alas, that didn’t happen for 2019. :(
Those handlebars would work perfectly...on a wheelbarrow.
Please test ride a deluxe when you have a chance thanks.
I’m looking at buying either a 2016 Low Rider S or a 2018 Low Rider. I’ll be testing riding both of them soon but I was wondering how the two compare out on the road? They’re both going for the same price and have about 7000 miles on them. Looking at the specs online, I see the Low Rider S makes a bit more power, but since the M8 Low Rider is a little lighter and stiffer, I figure it’s not too much of a difference?
The 2016 Low Rider S is completely different than the 2020 LRS. Ride them both and decide which you like. The softail (2018) will be more comfortable. The dyna (2016) looks better in my opinion.
Adam i thought u sold the low rider s
I've commented and complained about the price of Harley Davidson's on other videos (not yours) but Man, Harley Davidson are nice bikes.
I like this bike. But to spend money to overcome the limitations of the seating position is out of question.
Do they have different wheel options?
Good job ! Well, i didn't understand when you said you would like to change the bars, i didn't understand the reason ... thanks in advance ! Friendly from France !
The bars were uncomfortable for me when I first got this bike. I've gotten used to them but I don't go on very long rides.
I cannot stop watching this video! Hahaha! This weekend I’m going in to trade my 2017 Iron883 for this exact model and color. Rode her at the York, PA plant open house last weekend and fell in complete love, which is funny because I initially wrote this bike off just because of all the chrome. It has grown on me simply because the contrast with that color is sick!!! Since this bike is fly by wire I’m going to add cruise control for those longer highway trips. CANNOT WAIT. Thanks for the excellent review Block! Pretty soon I’ll be drooling on the bike instead of my phone! ;)
Tim Dunbar hey Tim, I'm from Pa. & was also at the open house but didn't wait in line to test ride this bike. I also ride a Sportser but am thinking about moving up to this bike. Just wondering if you made the move & if you like it? If so do you miss your Sportser?I love my sportster but guess I should test ride one myself.
Jim Mansi hey man! First off, yes, I absolutely miss my Sportster! I put over 13,000 miles on her! It’s for sale at Lancaster HD right now. I did get the Low Rider and love the bike. Only disclaimer is Harley-Davidson currently does NOT have forward controls for this bike. I unfortunately found this out after I put my order in. However, there is a way to put forwards on with parts of the Breakout. If you Google search you’ll be sure to find it. The bike is a freaking MONSTER. It’s so balanced and stable. I feel so much more planted when I ride and especially riding in the rain. The handlebars are very different then anything I rode before and it did take some practice to do a good right turn from a stop. Seat is amazing. Already did a 300+ mile day already and could have gone another 300 miles. Do yourself a favor brother and go teat ride one either now or next Spring. Hit me up if you have any more questions.
Tim Dunbar Thanks for the info. I'm gonna check one out this week at Hannums & I know I'm gonna want one but will prob have to wait till spring to make a move. I actually like the mid controls, they look like they're in between mids & forwards. I'm glad you like it & most people do miss their Sportsers, they're awesome bikes. I may msg you in the future if I have questions, thanks!
