James, thank you for your transparency. It's so good to see a video along with the list of Mods. I am in the process of converting my 2006 Softail Heritage into a Bobber, but with a 21 inch front wheel and stock rear wheel (16 inch). This video made me see exactly how this combination would look like in reality. Thanks and greetings from Cologne, Germany.
Very nice!! I've got an '07 Bob that is very similar but yours is by far one of the sharpest looking Bob's I've seen Good job bro! My next step will be the tank lift, then the seat, then possibly the white walls.
+James Warren I was trying to send a pic of mine but I can't figure out how... Mine has 14" Roland Sands bars, V&H short shots, SE Air filter, 10in Progressive suspension and everything is blacked out. I like it a lot but I'm always trying to make it "better". lol
This is by far one of the best looking street bobs I have seen so far. Could you please post a parts list of everything you have done as far as your front wheel? Brand, fender, hub, etc...
Thanks man! So the front and rear wheels are aftermarket sizes to accommodate the tires. The front wheel is a standard 21x2.15 rim that's been powder coated black. The rear wheel is a 16x5 rim that's been powder coated black as well. Both were picked up on eBay by a seller named chassiswerx. The spokes are standard sportster spokes for 21" and 16" wheels. The hub's are actually the stock hubs that came with the bike, as I have just laced the new rims to the stock hubs. Both of the fenders are the stock fenders that came with the bike. I did not need to make any modifications as they fit just fine with the new wheels. Hope this helps?
Hi James Beautiful bike, would you mind listing out what you have done to it? I'm a new owner so still feeling my way through the terminology...... what I do know is your bike is the Goal!
Honestly I really don't get alot of movement when riding. Like all harleys, my bike rattles and shakes alot when stopped. But moving, I really don't get much movement at all. The bars are pretty stable TBH
@@jameswarren86 that makes sense about the vibration in idle, smooths out with the rpms come up, I was thinking more bumps and what not.. Amazing looking rig tho. I'm currently dreaming a about getting my license and first bike
would you please tell me what those tire size ? i had a 16 low rider and this is what i want mine to look like. Did you lower the front as well or just the back ?
This is an older video of this bike, so in this video the bike had only the rear end lowered with 10.5" Burly Slammers. I can't remember the exact model names of the tires, but the rear was a (Shinko 777) 180 and the front was also a (Shinko 777) 21" tire. But, if you check out my newest video of the bike (th-cam.com/video/Xl3vpUQE7B4/w-d-xo.html), I've got the the rear end lowered with 10.5" Burly Slammers as well as dropped another 1" with lowering blocks, and front end has been lowered by 2" with a Progressive Suspension Drop-in Fork Lowering Kit. I now run Avon Cobra tires with a 180 Rear Tire (AV72 Cobra 180/70R16) and 21" Front White Wall Tire (AV71 Cobra MH90-21).
Right on man! I wanted a 72 so bad when they first dropped. I definitely recommend getting Vance and Hines pipes. They are the meanest sounding pipes on the market! My old sporty had Short Shot's and boy did it sound tough and loud!
So I actually wash my bike weekly or at minimal once every 2 weeks. I use Bleache White and Simple Green cleaner each wash on the white walls to keep them from going brown.
@@jameswarren86 hi Warren, whats going on bro. I think that I finally can buy my HD, however I'll go for a softail custom. Hope you help me with some tips to custom🤘🏼
Hey James I want to do the same thing on my SB 13, installing a 21 front wheel where do you get it ? or do you re-lace the stock hub in a 21 rim, any help will be appreciated.
+Ruth Lopez I purchased a 21" hoop from ebay, had it powder coated and laced it to my stock hub. Same with the rear. I laced a 16" hoop to my stock hub.
James, I am sorry to keep bothering you with questions but I am curious as to what you did with you rear turn signal setup as far as the wiring goes. I just threw a burley slammer kit on mine a few weeks ago. I have already had to remove the fender three times now to repair wiring from the tire bouncing up and hitting it. it has caused a multitude of problems. At first it shorted out the system causing my fuel gauge to quit working and as of yesterday I have no rear lights at all. The shocks are set on the hardest setting and my wires are run on the sides of the fender (inside). I also cut a very sturdy piece of fuel hose and ran the wires through it where they go through the fender under the seat so they would have some sort of protective sleeve around them and not contact the metal of the fender. I am only 150lbs so I know my light ass isn't the problem. Could you please tell what you did with yours or if you have even had the same issue at all....
Hey no worries, I am more than happy to help! I actually did not need to make any changes to my wiring in the rear. I fortunately have not had any issues with the wiring at all, and my lights are stock. Do keep in mind that I am running a 16x5 rear tire rather than the stock 17" wheel. I wonder if my specific Slammers don't compress enough to touch my fender wiring. I also do have a pretty big gap between my rear fender and tire that may be playing a role here as well.
Hey James nice looking bike. I was looking into a tank lift for my 2015 Street bob and wanted to know if you had any issues with the triple tree or pinch bolts bumping into the gas tank when turned fully left or right after the 2 inch lift . Thanks!
+Dirty South Motorcycle Co. Thanks man! I do not have any issues with the bolts hitting the tank at all when I turn both directions no. However It was a pain in the ass putting the lift on because I had to drain the tank. But thats the only issue I had.
So I picked up a set of rims from Chassiswerx seller on ebay and had them powder coated, then I laced my stock hubs to each rim. So technically you could do the same with any rims.
James Warren tx à lot for your antsword but it is a 90 /90 -21wide of a MH90-21Wide on the front ? And the rear it is a 180 /70 ? Sorry for all the questions but it is realy difficult To find those tires in belgium ,i have to look for avon cobra in ww more easy aviable but not the same size whit White wall. Is your front rim a Wide glide rim in 21x2.15 ?
So my front tire is an MH90-21 and the rear tire is a 180/70R-16. The rims/wheels are custom sizes outside of the stock size as well. The front rim is the same size as a wide glide rim (21x2.15) but it is not a wide glide rim. And the rear rim is a 16x5. Each rim is a custom rim that I laced to my stock hubs.
Yeah, you could. A sporty wouldn't look quite the same, with the tank difference, but you could pretty much get the same look with a Nightster or Iron 1200
Im debating about the 90/90-21 versus 120/70-21 shinko upfront. Is there a way you can post a pic of the front and back tires straight on. Not sure if it looks too skinny for the width of the bike. the back I'm deciding between the 16 or 18 inch rim for the Shinko 180's as well.
That's one of the cleanest looking bobbers I've seen, man. Great job! Couple of questions; what size spokes did you use when you re-laced your front and rear conversions, and did you cut the wires on your front turn signals? And, one more question, (sorry), do you ever ride two-up? How's that as far as comfort with the Burly's? Again, sweet bobber, man!
tako904 hey I have a 2016 street Bob. to take the signals off you have to cut the wire. Now it's up to you if you want to pull the entire wire out of the handlebars and pull the pin out of the connector. I didn't, main reason is because that wire is inside a casing for the rest of the wiring and I didnt feel like cutting it apart. so I chopped it off, put some heat shrink on it and she works fine.
Thank you! I used standard sportster spokes in 21" for the front and 16" in the rear. I did not have to cut the wires on my lights as the lights connect to a harness under the tank that can just be unhooked. I do ride two up quite a bit, and its not any different on comfort than riding solo.
James Warren thanks I have wanted to invert my mirrors but I also didn't want to lose the turn signals of I didn't have to but I guess I can go without until I get the new mini signals
Personally id move the forks up a bit to lower the front of the bike, might have to get bar risers to get clearance for the bars but i believe that would work, but thats just my preference
Hey man, bike looks sick. What's the license plate bracket you've got? Love how it sits it vertically. Hate the stock plate holder that sits horizontal. Thanks
Nope, the front end on this bike is completely stock. The only mod I made was using a 21" hoop for the wheel. I even used my stock hub and laced it to the 21" hoop and it fit perfectly.
I don't know the spoke numbers off of the top of my head, but it should be the same number as the stock hoops as I did lace these custom hoops to the stock hubs that came with the bike. So the custom hoops are the same amount of spokes as the stock hoops. Also I believe the triple tree's are mid glide. It is the stock front end that comes with the bike from the manufacturer.
I picked up my hoops from a local custom shop and had them powder coated. But I have seen on ebay you can find hoops there that should be the same sizes as what I used.
im curious im going to be getting a street bob early next year and planning to buy some parts soon, but im curious to add to this, the stock wheel is 17 inch with a 170 tire, im curious why you changed to a smaller back tire and a slightly wider? purely for the slammed lower look? thanks man!!
Yeah the stock rear tire was a 17" in 160. I wanted to go wider to fill in the fender so 180 or 200 was my best option. But I could only find a 180 white wall tire in 16". Since I was also doing the 21" front wheel conversion I just laced up a 16" rear to my stock hub and put on the 180 White Wall rear tire to match my front tire. It worked out well because it helped lower the rear even more than previously.
Yes I am positive they are 14". I picked up these bars back in 2014. Santee did have 14" bars, but no longer sells these. I do know however that the exact same bars in 14" are sold by J&P cycles under their house brand as well.
i was considering the same bars but black and the tank lift as well.. any complaints about either upgrade? qulity etc having had them both for a while? did you actually use the provided fuel line extension or maintain stock line?
I have zero complaints with the bars or the tank lift. Two years later and they are still doing fantastic! Highly recommend both mods. I did however use the fuel line extensions with the lift kit.
I did have to extend all of the cables yes. I actually did not use a kit, I had the Harley dealership do custom cables for the bike. But I have used Burly Brand cables for my old sportster and they were really good quality and fit perfect.
Thanks mate! The bars are Santee 14" apes. But I don't think they are made by Santee any longer. I do know that J&P cycles has an in house brand of these exact same bars.
I was not so lucky. When I removed my rear reflectors there was a bunch of glue left behind. I did read once that if you use a heat gun to heat up the glue, you can use an old credit card to slowly scrape it off and if you are careful you will not ruin the paint. Haven't done it yet myself but planning on it soon.
Bike looks sick! I wanna do the same tire & rim setup to mine. Did you have any issues with clearance? What size tires an front & back? I gotta have it hahah!
Cool mods man love it so much …. but I’m really confused to tell the difference between a chopper and bobber cause I’d say it’s a chopper looking bike 😂
Thanks mate! I'd say its whatever style the person looking at it thinks best fits. I label it a bobber simply because the base model name is street bob lol
Same thing more less, “ chopper” originally used because the old guys would chop the frame to change rake of the triple tree to accommodate longer forks. Nice Dyna.
awesome thanks for the heads up. I was kind of hoping that I would be able to use the stock ones. I have a 2016 street bob fucken love it, but yours looks much better than mine.
thats what I was wondering too. Because I was leaning more towards the 12", im not that tall of a guy. But for sure, come next month, im installing the burly slams, perhaps tank raise too.
So when I first started working on this bike I had 16" apes installed by the HD dealership. They used custom cables that fit the exact length. However, I didn't like the 16" bars so I shortly after downgraded to 14" bars and kept the original extended wiring. So the cables on this bike now can fit both 14" to 16" bars.
yes, a 180 rear tire will fit without any mods to the swingarm or fender. You will have to have a rim that will fit that size. Mine is a 180 rear tire on a 16x5 rim to fit the larger tire.
Damn nice bike, but I am biased because I have a 2015 Street Bob myself. I am wondering what you did with your front turn signals? Did you remove them when you flipped your mirrors underneath the handlebars? I have been thinking about doing the same thing but not sure what to do with my turn signals. Thanks.
Thanks man! I did have them mounted on the forks for a bit and dig not like how big they were. In this video they had been removed completely. I ran the bike with no front turn signals for quite a while, and didnt have any issues as my model year has the updated CANBUS that kept my rear signals from tripping. You do notice your dash blinking quickly, but that was something I grew to ignore. But I did recently pickup a set of very small LED signals that mount to the hand controls and am now using these. They are pretty much flush with my hand controls and you barley notice them until you turn on the signals.
Nice, I think I am going to get the mirrors with the turn signals incorporates into the housing of the mirror and then flip them like this. I know HD sells them but I also have seen aftermarket who sell them much cheaper.
Mate. It's freakin awesome bike! I thinking to make one very simular to this one. Could you please tell me, as you said rear tyre is 180wide and 16inch. So did you change wheel? As far as I know stock was 17inch. Front one did you change front fender while you change wheel to 21inch? Are those shocks progressive 10,5inch?
James Warren oh wow! I guess it’s just the 10.5 shocks that give it the look. I relocated my tail light and I’m looking to either fill those holes or chop it before paint. The stance of yours is sweet. Either going with 11s or 10.5s. Going all the way down makes me nervous lol
Its not technically from a wide glide. I had this rim custom made for me and I laced it to my stock hub. But I believe it is the same size as the wide glide rim yes.
James, thank you for your transparency. It's so good to see a video along with the list of Mods. I am in the process of converting my 2006 Softail Heritage into a Bobber, but with a 21 inch front wheel and stock rear wheel (16 inch). This video made me see exactly how this combination would look like in reality. Thanks and greetings from Cologne, Germany.
Love to see this! Makes me happy to see that I am actually helping people reach their modification goals like I have. Stay safe and rock on my friend!
Looks great. This is literally what I want my street bob to look like. Just got my z bars put on
Absolutely gorgeous
Probably one of the cleanest Bobs around, very well done.
Thanks man!
one of the best streetbob on line!
Thanks man! I really love how it turned out. Very one of a kind bob in comparison to the millions of club style street bobs out there these days
...simply.."chopper style never died"
Exactly!
Very nice!! I've got an '07 Bob that is very similar but yours is by far one of the sharpest looking Bob's I've seen Good job bro! My next step will be the tank lift, then the seat, then possibly the white walls.

I love the look of your bike. Got an '08 Street Bob and modeled mine after yours (not identical though). Thank you!
Thanks mate!
@@jameswarren86 My pleasure. Been looking at this video for almost two or three years now. Don't know why, but this style just calls to me. Cheers!
When someone asks "what style of bike do you want?" and I reply "I'll know it when I see it". Well.......I've seen it.
I agree! haha
Agreed what a beautiful bike
I need a motorcycle license to get this
My favorite looking street bob tell now .well done sir 👍
Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous 🔥🔥
Thanks mate! I've changed it up a bit since this video. You can see the changes in my latest video.
Absolutely love it!! Not tryin to be a copy cat but def inspiration for my super glide !! With a 200 series rear tire and a 23 inch front!
Thanks man!
This is by far one of the best looking street bobs I have seen so far. Could you please post a parts list of everything you have done as far as your front wheel? Brand, fender, hub, etc...
Thanks man! So the front and rear wheels are aftermarket sizes to accommodate the tires. The front wheel is a standard 21x2.15 rim that's been powder coated black. The rear wheel is a 16x5 rim that's been powder coated black as well. Both were picked up on eBay by a seller named chassiswerx.

Both of the fenders are the stock fenders that came with the bike. I did not need to make any modifications as they fit just fine with the new wheels.

you are the best my friend! really nice bike!
+alonso g Thanks!
Bike looks great with those white walls
Thanks! I think its turned out much better than I had expected.
Really like the white walls on that flat black. I'd do the same, but I have the gloss black and don't think it'd have the same impact.
Thanks! I've pics online of gloss black bobs with white walls and it looked just as good to me! sometimes I wish my bob was gloss and not flat black.
+James Warren you do a 2" tank lift?
I sure did
Yeaaaa Rev that bad boy ❤️ i have the same exact fxdb with the same vance n hines
this my dream moto ❤️
Hi James

Thank you! An in depth list of all I have done to the bike is listed in the description. Thanks!
The bar movment you see @ 0:46 Do you get a lot of that movement when you're riding too, it looks like it would move quite a lot when hands on?

I now run Avon Cobra tires with a 180 Rear Tire (AV72 Cobra 180/70R16) and 21" Front White Wall Tire (AV71 Cobra MH90-21).
What did you end up doing to the front turn signals?
I removed the front signals all together. I plan to replace them with some small LED lights that can mount to the forks. I just have not done it yet.
My guy I just got me a 2016 HD sportster 72 gon try and make it look like this one...any suggestions on a muffler that a give it an aggressive sound?
Right on man! I wanted a 72 so bad when they first dropped. I definitely recommend getting Vance and Hines pipes. They are the meanest sounding pipes on the market! My old sporty had Short Shot's and boy did it sound tough and loud!
Awesome....but....how do you keep your white wall tires clean?? after a few month mine aren´t white anymore... look like beige
So I actually wash my bike weekly or at minimal once every 2 weeks. I use Bleache White and Simple Green cleaner each wash on the white walls to keep them from going brown.

how hard was it to put in the 21 in tire in the front did it for right in
So I laced a 21" rim to my stock hub. And it was as easy as any re-lacing job should be. The wheel fit right in just fine.
James Warren cool man how much was the whole job
I spent somewhere around $400ish on custom rims and new spokes for the front and back

when you went to a 21 inch wheel did you have to buy a different fender or relocation tabs????
Nope, the stock front fender and the stock fork tabs fit perfectly.
Thank you and where did you find the rear hoop??? found a 16x6
I picked up both hoops on eBay. The seller was Chassiswerx and they custom built me the hoops (size and powder coating)
Gorgeous

Hey James nice looking bike. I was looking into a tank lift for my 2015 Street bob and wanted to know if you had any issues with the triple tree or pinch bolts bumping into the gas tank when turned fully left or right after the 2 inch lift . Thanks!

Hey thanks man!
Is there a brand for those custom wheels or could you point me in the direction of how to get some custom wheels done
So I picked up a set of rims from Chassiswerx seller on ebay and had them powder coated, then I laced my stock hubs to each rim. So technically you could do the same with any rims.
Quick question again, what width? 21x3 or 21x3.5 for the front and 16x5 for the rear?
So the front wheel size is 21x2.15 and the rear wheel size is 16x5. I laced up the rims to my stock hubs and they laced right up.
Hello from belgium, can you tel me witch size are the front and the rear tires please. ....tx à lot.
No problem! The front wheel is a 21" x 90 tire and the rear is a 16" x 180 tire
James Warren tx à lot for your antsword but it is a 90 /90 -21wide of a MH90-21Wide on the front ? And the rear it is a 180 /70 ? Sorry for all the questions but it is realy difficult To find those tires in belgium ,i have to look for avon cobra in ww more easy aviable but not the same size whit White wall. Is your front rim a Wide glide rim in 21x2.15 ?
So my front tire is an MH90-21 and the rear tire is a 180/70R-16. The rims/wheels are custom sizes outside of the stock size as well. The front rim is the same size as a wide glide rim (21x2.15) but it is not a wide glide rim. And the rear rim is a 16x5. Each rim is a custom rim that I laced to my stock hubs.
James Warren again, tx a lot for the replay .i'm gona try this on mine ,your's is à realy gorgeous bike, ride safe and play the cords hard 😉😉😉😉😉.
Thanks mate! You as well!
could I get a similar look from a sportster 1200? I am obsessed with this man toy.
Yeah, you could. A sporty wouldn't look quite the same, with the tank difference, but you could pretty much get the same look with a Nightster or Iron 1200
Did you have to replace the fuel line or the vacuum line for 2" lift kit?
I did yes. I just picked up a kit that had the line extensions from Licks Cycles
Allright, thanks... And the bike is looking nice!
Thanks man!
Im debating about the 90/90-21 versus 120/70-21 shinko upfront. Is there a way you can post a pic of the front and back tires straight on. Not sure if it looks too skinny for the width of the bike. the back I'm deciding between the 16 or 18 inch rim for the Shinko 180's as well.
I preferred the 90/90-21 over the 120. But, I do have other vids on my channel that may show the front and rear width.
That's one of the cleanest looking bobbers I've seen, man. Great job! Couple of questions; what size spokes did you use when you re-laced your front and rear conversions, and did you cut the wires on your front turn signals?

I used to have my signals relocated to the forks. But I didnt care much for how big they stuck out and just took them off in general.
Do you happen to know the exact type of lepera bare bone seat u have on this bike? Its exactly what Ive been looking for.
The exact type is a bare bones? Its the gel version for the Dyna. But the name and model of the seat is Lepera Bare Bones.
Personally id move the forks up a bit to lower the front of the bike, might have to get bar risers to get clearance for the bars but i believe that would work, but thats just my preference
Naww, I think its perfect the way it is. If I was going to lower the front forks I would just using drop in lowering springs.
Hey man, bike looks sick. What's the license plate bracket you've got? Love how it sits it vertically. Hate the stock plate holder that sits horizontal. Thanks
Thanks man! the license plate bracket is the stock bracket. All I have down is mount the plate vertically.
I was thinking that could be done. Thanks for the confirmation.
Yeah no prob!
James, with the 14 inch ape's, did you have to replace any cables in order to install, or did you use the stock one's?....ps. nice scoot!
Thanks! and yes I did have my cables replaced and wiring extended to fit my bars
Hey bud did you have to make any modifications on the front end to fit the 21" front wheel? Thanks
Nope, the front end on this bike is completely stock. The only mod I made was using a 21" hoop for the wheel. I even used my stock hub and laced it to the 21" hoop and it fit perfectly.
Hey man also another question what are the rear shocks that you are using
So the rear shocks are 10.5" Burley Brand slammers
how many spokes are your wheels??? also the hoop don't matter??? and your triple tree's there a narrow gilde set up???
I don't know the spoke numbers off of the top of my head, but it should be the same number as the stock hoops as I did lace these custom hoops to the stock hubs that came with the bike. So the custom hoops are the same amount of spokes as the stock hoops. Also I believe the triple tree's are mid glide. It is the stock front end that comes with the bike from the manufacturer.
thank you very much for your help you have a very beautiful bike. I'm jealous
Thank you man! and no problem!
I picked up my hoops from a local custom shop and had them powder coated. But I have seen on ebay you can find hoops there that should be the same sizes as what I used.
How did you do the inverted mirrors?
Bad ass bike
Hey thanks man!
love this bike!!! curious if those are the stock wheels?? this bike looks 100% better with those white walls
Thank you! the wheels are actually not stock. they are custom sizes. the rear is a 16" wheel with a 180 tire. and the front is a 21' wheel
im curious im going to be getting a street bob early next year and planning to buy some parts soon, but im curious to add to this, the stock wheel is 17 inch with a 170 tire, im curious why you changed to a smaller back tire and a slightly wider? purely for the slammed lower look? thanks man!!
Yeah the stock rear tire was a 17" in 160. I wanted to go wider to fill in the fender so 180 or 200 was my best option. But I could only find a 180 white wall tire in 16". Since I was also doing the 21" front wheel conversion I just laced up a 16" rear to my stock hub and put on the 180 White Wall rear tire to match my front tire. It worked out well because it helped lower the rear even more than previously.
yeah i do notice when im in the showroom there is alot of room for a wider tire in the back,,
Yeah even the 180 didn't quite fill out the fender. still more room for maybe a 200 tire
Does it bottom out at all
If I hit a dip too hard it bottoms out, but it is pretty rare to be honest.
which wheel do you use at the front, 21 and at the rear 17
So the 21" wheel is at the front and the rear wheel is a 16" wheel
Hey bud. I read the description so you didn’t lower the front just the back??
Nope, just lowered the rear. The front fork suspension is stock height.
James Warren thanks man
great bike awesome
Thank you!
Yeah sweet bike
Was that 180 tire on a stock wheel? Straight mount or any clearance issues? Thinking about going wider on my stock SB rear wheel
So the 180 tire was put on a 16x5 rim. Its not the stock size. No clearance issues tho.
Santee by Custom Chrome doesn't offer 14" only 16". Are you sure those are 14 and not 16?
Yes I am positive they are 14". I picked up these bars back in 2014. Santee did have 14" bars, but no longer sells these. I do know however that the exact same bars in 14" are sold by J&P cycles under their house brand as well.
Love this bike!! Can i buy it, I am from the netherlands.
Hey there Just a quick question do you have to do any modifications or fab work to rear fender to fit the 180 at the rear? Thanks
No fab mods were needed to fit my 180 tire no. However, I did drop my rear rim from a 17" to a 16", so this may be the reason why no fab was needed.
i was considering the same bars but black and the tank lift as well.. any complaints about either upgrade? qulity etc having had them both for a while? did you actually use the provided fuel line extension or maintain stock line?
I have zero complaints with the bars or the tank lift. Two years later and they are still doing fantastic! Highly recommend both mods. I did however use the fuel line extensions with the lift kit.
Thanks , 1 more question about the bars see you able to retain stock cables or did you have to get entended cables? If so what set did you purchase?
I did have to extend all of the cables yes. I actually did not use a kit, I had the Harley dealership do custom cables for the bike. But I have used Burly Brand cables for my old sportster and they were really good quality and fit perfect.
Ok thanks again
Where can I get the outer wheel?
I picked mine up from eBay. But I know you can get them from cycle shops online also.
That is a nice bike James, let me ask you the front wheel is a 19 or a 21 "
+Ruth Lopez Thank you! the front wheel is 21"
Great looking bike man, thanks for the video. Dig the tank lift. Do you by chance know the brand of bars? They fit the bike perfectly.
Thanks mate! The bars are Santee 14" apes. But I don't think they are made by Santee any longer. I do know that J&P cycles has an in house brand of these exact same bars.
Hello ! What is the size of your rear dampers please ? 10 inches ? Thanks !
The rear struts are 10.5" Burly Slammers
@@jameswarren86 Thanks !
Love the bike, how did you get your rear reflectors off without damaging the paint?
Thank you! I just carefully pulled them off
James Warren no residue from the glue?
not that I can remember. They came off pretty easily
I was not so lucky. When I removed my rear reflectors there was a bunch of glue left behind. I did read once that if you use a heat gun to heat up the glue, you can use an old credit card to slowly scrape it off and if you are careful you will not ruin the paint. Haven't done it yet myself but planning on it soon.
Bike looks sick! I wanna do the same tire & rim setup to mine. Did you have any issues with clearance? What size tires an front & back? I gotta have it hahah!
Thank you! I don't have any issues with clearance at all. I'm running a 21" front wheel with 90/21 tire, and a 16" rear wheel with 180 rear tire.
Awesom man! Thanks! Got another 1k or so left on my tires soon as they r done I'm doing it!
Hi mate sick bike
Where did you get the white wall tyres ?
What size are they ?
Thank you! I picked up the tires from Tirerack.com, and the rear tire is a 16" x 180 and the front tire is a 21" x 90
Thanks brother
What about the shocks , both changed ? Which once are they ?
Awesome job man
@@dgcooolg In this vid I've only got the rear shocks changed out. The front fork springs are stock. The rear shocks are the 10.5" burley slammers
Cool mods man love it so much …. but I’m really confused to tell the difference between a chopper and bobber cause I’d say it’s a chopper looking bike 😂
Thanks mate! I'd say its whatever style the person looking at it thinks best fits. I label it a bobber simply because the base model name is street bob lol
Same thing more less, “ chopper” originally used because the old guys would chop the frame to change rake of the triple tree to accommodate longer forks.
Nice Dyna.
Does that 21” rim fit from stock fender or did u have to mod it to fit a 21”
Yep, the 21" rim fits right in with the stock front fender. No modifications needed
James Warren sweet thanks for the help
Anytime!
What peg setup is that? Looks cool
They are Harley pegs. I don't remember the name of them unfortunately. But I did buy them from Harley
Love the bike!!! I was wondering if you had to buy new cables for the 14" apes or were you able to use the stock ones?
Thank you! So I did have to extent the cables and wiring for sure. The stock cables did not reach unfortunately.
awesome thanks for the heads up. I was kind of hoping that I would be able to use the stock ones. I have a 2016 street bob fucken love it, but yours looks much better than mine.
Thanks man! I bet you could get away with 12" bars with your stock cables. But it may be a very tight fit
thats what I was wondering too. Because I was leaning more towards the 12", im not that tall of a guy. But for sure, come next month, im installing the burly slams, perhaps tank raise too.
I highly recommend all three mods!
What length of cables did you use for the ape hangers?
So when I first started working on this bike I had 16" apes installed by the HD dealership. They used custom cables that fit the exact length. However, I didn't like the 16" bars so I shortly after downgraded to 14" bars and kept the original extended wiring. So the cables on this bike now can fit both 14" to 16" bars.
thx, looks really good.
Thank you! It has turned out better than expected.
did you lower the front at all?
Nope, the front end is bone stock height
Do you know if 180 back tyre fits without any mods?
yes, a 180 rear tire will fit without any mods to the swingarm or fender. You will have to have a rim that will fit that size. Mine is a 180 rear tire on a 16x5 rim to fit the larger tire.
@@jameswarren86 thx
What forward controls are those
They are the HD forward controls I picked up from Harley
Damn nice bike, but I am biased because I have a 2015 Street Bob myself. I am wondering what you did with your front turn signals? Did you remove them when you flipped your mirrors underneath the handlebars? I have been thinking about doing the same thing but not sure what to do with my turn signals. Thanks.
Thanks man! I did have them mounted on the forks for a bit and dig not like how big they were. In this video they had been removed completely. I ran the bike with no front turn signals for quite a while, and didnt have any issues as my model year has the updated CANBUS that kept my rear signals from tripping. You do notice your dash blinking quickly, but that was something I grew to ignore.
But I did recently pickup a set of very small LED signals that mount to the hand controls and am now using these. They are pretty much flush with my hand controls and you barley notice them until you turn on the signals.
Nice, I think I am going to get the mirrors with the turn signals incorporates into the housing of the mirror and then flip them like this. I know HD sells them but I also have seen aftermarket who sell them much cheaper.
Mate. It's freakin awesome bike!
I thinking to make one very simular to this one.
Could you please tell me, as you said rear tyre is 180wide and 16inch. So did you change wheel? As far as I know stock was 17inch.
Front one did you change front fender while you change wheel to 21inch?
Are those shocks progressive 10,5inch?
Thank you! I did change the rear wheel out to a 16x5 rim to fit the 180 white wall. At the time I could not find any WW tires that were 180 in a 17"
cheers. what about front wheel? And rear suspension?
So the front wheel I also laced a 21x2.15 rim to my stock hub and fitted a 21" white wall tire. As for the shocks they are 10.5" burly slammers.
What is a 21 hoop?
The hoop is the black outer rim on the wheel. You lace the hoop to the hub which makes the wheel as a whole.
Did you chop the rear fender? And if so, an estimate on how much off?
I actually did not chop the rear fender. The fender on this bike is the stock fender.
James Warren oh wow! I guess it’s just the 10.5 shocks that give it the look. I relocated my tail light and I’m looking to either fill those holes or chop it before paint. The stance of yours is sweet. Either going with 11s or 10.5s. Going all the way down makes me nervous lol
Man u bike its so beautifull
Thank you!
Damn nice bike
Thank you! I will agree so myself
no front blinkers?
So in this video I did not have any front blinkers. But this year I actually installed some small LED blinkers on my handlebars.
Clean af
Thanks man!
Is that a wide glide front rim
Its not technically from a wide glide. I had this rim custom made for me and I laced it to my stock hub. But I believe it is the same size as the wide glide rim yes.
I think i pissed my pants the moment i saw this goddess of a bike
Thank you! It has turned out EXACTLY how Harley should have sold the Street Bob lol
Beautiful bike brother, did the handling change much going to the 21” wheel? Also is the rim size a 21”x2.15?
Thanks mate! it is a 21x2.15 rim yes. And I only notice a handling difference at high speeds really.
@ James Warren thanks for the quick response 👍
