I have a lot of respect for you. The fact that you were able to step back and say that the bike is too much for you is incredible. A lot of guys would lie about why they sold it or they would try to keep riding it and end up getting hurt. Much respect.
After hanging out at an independant bike shop this is similar to the Dyna I wanted to build after perusing the parts books. Shorter bars, rear engine mount, better forks, and a Frankenstein engine were my only changes. This bike squashed my dream, though. It proved that no matter what you throw at it, it is still just an HD Dyna with a much bigger investment in time and money. Old 120R might have been cool but no good ECM management was available at the time. My next choice was a short stroke big bore custom engine designed to rev high with all parts upgraded to deal with that. Either way, stupid huge money with unkown results. Hotrods are always a risk that things may not work out. If there are any other overlooked qualities of the machine as a whole, more power is sure to bring out those faults.
Thanks for your transparency and integrity. Most people on here are so fixated on being deified that they would’ve lied and said they got the bike dirt cheap and sold it for a fortune. It takes a lot to admit you took a hit. Your channel is one of the best for HD content, I’d say!
I’m from Malaysia and it costs close to $30,000 to import a 2016/2017 FXDLS under grey import vehicle status after taxes.Price differences were so huge between the Low Riders that I ended up getting a 2017 FXDL instead 🤣
I used to look at screenshots of this bike before going to bed daydreaming of owning it throughout my last deployment. I found a 15 fxdb for 9k and even though it wasn’t the fxdls I went ahead a bought it since it was cheap and I could see if I would like the dynas. I fell in love with them. Now I plan on selling the fxdb and buying the fxdls after my upcoming deployment and building it similar to this one except with the fxrt fairing hard bags and maybe a custom paint job if I have money afterwards lmao
Bought a 2016 Fxdls for 10k with 10k miles with exhaust seat and lighting done I feel even better about my purchase hearing what you paid! Love this bike
I know this video is a couple years old now but you brought up some good points. There’s a 2016 Dyna LRS 117 SE upgrade w 8k on the odo, Thunderheader exhaust, progressive suspension, saddleman step up, 2” risers, high flo oil pump, and professionally tuned… he’s asking 15.5. Not a bad price and a heck of a Dyna but I settled on a stock 22 117 LRS w 4k miles for 18. Even tho the 2016 is a SICK bike I also felt that it was just too much engine for what I need and would require maintenance than I wanted to get into. Of course the 22 has about 3k in some nice rider accessories and upgrades that I’d of done so I’m saving on that but stock engine and exhaust, which I’m totally cool with. The bike comes from the factory with all that I need so I’m happy. I actually think I got a good price and probably saved a few grand, but this is the most I’ve spent on a bike and I’m sure I won’t get what I paid for if and when I sell it. I figure if I ride it a few years and sell it for 15 I basically rented it. I’m not in the business of flipping bikes and they say you’ll never get back what you dump into it. Cheers.
I think you made the right choice for sure. The new softail platform handles way better than the dynas (and no potential dyna wobble). Either one would be a blast, no doubt. 💯🤙
Paid $30,000 CDN for a 2017 BMW R1200GS Rallye. Still have it. Most I've paid by almost double...... But I had the previous gen R1200GS and loved it, so went overboard replacing it.
Stepped out of my cheap Harley realm just spend almost 6k on a used Yamaha xsr900! Things an absolute fucking blaster lmao definitely my most expensive cash purchase. But something about these lowrider dyna variants just do it for me more than the new softail low rider. Sick bike tho man sure you had fun while it lasted!
I financed a buell the bill came out 21,000 and i had lots of problems with it i originally want a deuce now i own a dyna super glide i love it never gets old riding it for sure and that bike you sold 200 percent bad ass
What really would really turn it up a notch would be the Kraus Dynamoto inverted front end which has Ohlins internals. It's expensive. I had them on my Street Bob and it was awesome.
Hey jon could you make a playlist of the videos with the FXDLS. I remember one where you talked about buying it and almost hitting a deer? I can’t find it anymore. But it was a sick ass bike and will be missed! Don’t worry I’ll ride mine in your honor lol
Ah man. I thought you bought another fxdls. I get it though. I’m way to careful with mine too much $$$ sunk into it. The sporty I had before it I rode like a dirt bike.
I spent 19k on my 2016 lowrider dyna S with a 117 big bore kit w only 5,126 miles on it. I think I got a deal on it. I wish I found a dyna S as hooked up as yours when I was looking.
Would you say the Low rider you have is way smoother than the street bob stock? Or do you think all the upgrades made a huge difference? I have the street bob and love it, but if I have to put 3-5k into it to get it to perform like a stock low rider I might get the low rider
That is a cool looking and sounding bike, except for the rear fender. I like the full rear fender, but the damage to the paint makes me sad. The most I paid for a bike was $15,000 for my 2007 FLHR in February of 2008 with 116 miles. I still have it.
I paid $14.5k for a '05 FLHTC in 2006 and owned it till 12/19 when I bought a beautiful mysterious red sunglow 2014 Street glide special for a steal at $10,500. Both bikes have been awesome.
I bought it a 2017 dyna street bob with 6000 miles on it from a Harley Davidson dealer for 14900 then they tacked in 5000 dollars worth of warranty wheel and tire protection, theft , Gap. They got me good . So I paid 20 grand for a bike not even as good as yours and mine was bone stock.No upgrades . Live and learn.
Would you ever stunts a 6-speed EFI again? Or would you only stick with the older now? I have a 08 Super Glide I'm thinking about setting up any advice would be appreciated thank you
Awesome ❤️ that would be my dream bike too,that or actually the Road King :D oh yeah I'd love a RK Special Hey Jon u saw FXDLS Brooklyn's last vid ? :D U know that outro I did,he actually used it in 😁
Dyna LRS is my dream bike, but am i too small for it? im 5'7... ^^ Im riding an iron 883 atm, but european irons is 29inch in seat height... And ive seen american irons are lowered originally?
Haha, my 2019 FLHXS stickered at $30k, and with my 2016 Vaquero trade-in, it was still like $20k out the door. I got super lucky in that my wife paid for it, so I am just refilling her bank account now :)

You got a steal!

That's the one bike I would have kept. It's my dream bike ❤️
Красивый мотоцикл. Рад за тебя. Отличная работа. Главное радость, которую он тебе доставляет. 👍🤘
Beautiful bike, shopping and looking around for my first bike, so many I like them all!
Paid $30,000 CDN for a 2017 BMW R1200GS Rallye. Still have it. Most I've paid by almost double......
But I had the previous gen R1200GS and loved it, so went overboard replacing it.
that was such a mean bike. That's almost exactly how mine is built, except that t sport fairing.
Sweet bike, my favorite dyna period.
Stepped out of my cheap Harley realm just spend almost 6k on a used Yamaha xsr900! Things an absolute fucking blaster lmao definitely my most expensive cash purchase. But something about these lowrider dyna variants just do it for me more than the new softail low rider. Sick bike tho man sure you had fun while it lasted!
6k for the xsr900 sounds like a solid deal! No doubt you'll have a complete blast on that thing! 👌🤙
I financed a buell the bill came out 21,000 and i had lots of problems with it i originally want a deuce now i own a dyna super glide i love it never gets old riding it for sure and that bike you sold 200 percent bad ass
I’m on a 2020 LRS and I want to this exact build on mine
What really would really turn it up a notch would be the Kraus Dynamoto inverted front end which has Ohlins internals. It's expensive. I had them on my Street Bob and it was awesome.
Loved that bike! But your right it would’ve been horrible to lay it down!
Can you please upload a detailed parts and modifications link or description
18,5 for a built fxdls was a killer deal back then.
A 117 kit, and 18 rear 21 front with some white walls and upgraded mounts and engine stabilizer and it would have been one epic unit
Gotta love those black rims, gold is just too much haha
Dang forgot goon rides existed... what’s up my guy
Eat Your Broccoli ayyoooo! I deleted everything but literally just brought back my Instagram yesterday afternoon! I love the support I received man
I have the same “mod” on my dual brake lines when I went +2. Bending them down is ugly but cheap
Recent 20k road king special new, but don’t regret it at all
Hey jon could you make a playlist of the videos with the FXDLS. I remember one where you talked about buying it and almost hitting a deer? I can’t find it anymore. But it was a sick ass bike and will be missed! Don’t worry I’ll ride mine in your honor lol
Ah man. I thought you bought another fxdls. I get it though. I’m way to careful with mine too much $$$ sunk into it. The sporty I had before it I rode like a dirt bike.
Sick bike but purple beast fits you so much better.

@@marka2510 You did get a great deal on the Street Glide Special.👍🏼😎
i would adapt, no way in hell am I giving that up...
I bought it a 2017 dyna street bob with 6000 miles on it from a Harley Davidson dealer for 14900 then they tacked in 5000 dollars worth of warranty wheel and tire protection, theft , Gap. They got me good . So I paid 20 grand for a bike not even as good as yours and mine was bone stock.No upgrades . Live and learn.
She was clean clean!
Would you ever stunts a 6-speed EFI again? Or would you only stick with the older now? I have a 08 Super Glide I'm thinking about setting up any advice would be appreciated thank you
Just got mine running again woohoo!!!!!
That was a cool HD!! but you have more cool bikes too!! hasta luego ;)
That 17 lowrider s is the only dyna I've ever wanted to own.
congrats, i also hope one day have a low rider s in my garage. 👍👍
I paid 21000 for my dyna and I love it
Awesome ❤️ that would be my dream bike too,that or actually the Road King :D oh yeah I'd love a RK Special
Hey Jon u saw FXDLS Brooklyn's last vid ? :D U know that outro I did,he actually used it in 😁
I love both too man! I think I'm going to get a road king special. Great looks and also good for touring
I paid 28K for my 19 RGS and have about 10k in parts and don't regret a fu*king thing. Once you get rid of stock suspension you won't regret a thing
Such a beautiful bike!
I never knew the Dyna came with the gauges on the fuel tank… I thought that was only the 20 & 21 Lowrider S
Sick bike.
thats a fine wobble machine ya got there
@gemini232003 thats not a softtail do you not see olins coil over
@gemini232003 dynas do not come in a soft tail
What mods did the bike have? Because I know they definitely didn’t come from factory with 120 horsepower.. Awesome video btw! Very informative
Jon, love that bike!
I want one so bad
Beautiful bike..
I’m in Cali I want it
Hey John, can you tell us how was the process of selling the bike, I want to assume that you had buyers fighting for the bike when you posted online.
Dyna LRS is my dream bike, but am i too small for it? im 5'7... ^^
Im riding an iron 883 atm, but european irons is 29inch in seat height... And ive seen american irons are lowered originally?
Definitely not to small. I’ve seen chicks smaller than 5’7 on a lowrider s
I’m all about the shinko 777
I spent $6k for the WR, after parts ($4300 just for the bike), close enough? Lol
Cool bike
What fairing?
It was a sexy bike!
😍 Beautiful bike! This might be the one you later regret selling...🤔
👨👩👧❤
plenty of lowrider s's out there... the new ones are even more powerful and come with inverted forks. His FXDX is way cooler imo
Badass bike
A little steep for a used bike, but looks good, i could see myself forking out the cash for one.
Move bike for sure
Hi bro nice stuff 👍🆒️
Your insane 6 months lol 😂
Love it
Haha, my 2019 FLHXS stickered at $30k, and with my 2016 Vaquero trade-in, it was still like $20k out the door. I got super lucky in that my wife paid for it, so I am just refilling her bank account now :)
Please tell me how you reached 120 HP on this beaut 🙏
Any regrets selling...
Mang sabarahaeun?
Can you please add an introduction with yourself speaking Russian as well? My wife is from Russia.
I would have bought that for 17.5k all day
No such thing as "too much power" lol....
Joe Plem famous last words
Feeling a little buyers remorse, I wonder was it is that makes you want to dump it this soon, and at a loss, could it be the motor, hm.
I don't think I'll ever spend more than 15k on a bike
Why put a chain on just makes a fuckin mess
Don't sell that bike!!
Man if your happy with a bike and you bond with it money has no value what you did
That was a bad unit
First
