It’s a snowy and cold day in Indiana and my Street Bob and I are both under blankets. Thanks for the virtual ride. I needed it!
Paul Cox thanks for the laugh 😂
Everyone is so gun ho over the new Low Rider S (I really like it), but the Fab Bob just has a super nice complete look. Those meaty tires and headlight just screams badass.
I prefer the Lowrider S looks, and the front light might take time getting used to.
100% bro ...fat bob is a beast
Old post, but the headlight is a love/hate for most people. They either love it or hate it, personally I love it. It's something different and it looks bad ass! I've seen some with the 5 3/4 headlight and some with the 7 inch headlight conversion and it just didn't look right. The closest I've seen was a 5 3/4 with a Sportster headlight eyebrow, but it still didn't look as good as the stock headlight. That's just my opinion!
And the Softail Slim is cool too haha
After my fat bob purchase? I am glad I went with it instead of the used crashed low rider st ! 🤓🤔
I put the 19" windshield on mine and it was the best move I made. 120 mph and it feels like you could drink coffee and use one hand. Not that I would do that, the coffee I mean.
Jerry P. - I’ve been debating on the windshield size or maybe going with the Memphis shade mini fairing. Good to hear the 19” works. I need something to cut the wind on highway rides.
I tried 115 without windshield lol
Love the Fat Bob Headlight. I would buy it just because of the headlight. With LED’s, like car headlights, change is in the air. Retro is not the only type of style.
That’s a great bike! Love your explanation of the Stage 3 vs Stage 4! So many dealers just push rides into the Stage #4 because of the price/profit margin! Appreciate the honesty! All the best in 2020 to you, Matt!
I just got my 2019 Fat Bob with the TBR exhaust. It’s all blacked out. I have a nice tinted windscreen on it. LED lights/signals front and back. I just take short training rides of about an hour a day. Practice slow maneuvers, uturns, emergency stops, swerving, etc. My bike sounds almost exactly like yours! Amazing torque. My uturns from a stop are still improving, but I need more work! I live in the Phoenix area. Love my FAT BOB 114!!!
I could listen to this for hours, sounds so good
TBR is awesome
Love hearing this bike rip through the gears with that awesome exhaust!
Have you done a fatbob vs Low Rider S video? That may be a cool one to make. Highlight the differences between them and what type of rider may benefit from one model over the other ✌️
I keep coming back to this video for the exhaust note🤣 I need a sound machine putting me to sleep with this exhaust note😎
I know video uploads can never fully capture any sounds precisely, but that sounds pretty perfect to me. Thanks Matt.
The worse part of this entire video is the damn ads from TH-cam interrupting the great ride footage. Man, this bike is a BEAST!!!
The most underrated Softail, i wish it came with a 5 gallon tank. This will be my next upgrade 👍🏽
sooraj sai ugh so true I wish we had the 5 gall tank too. It’s just not good enough.
Anyone know of a cool tank upgrade for the fat bob ?
Love this underrated bike!
That fat bob looks beefy looking and fast sounds great it makes me want to trade in my Yamaha and go Harley
Just do it!! You won’t be disappointed! 👍
i traded my suzuki gsxr1000 for it , i never look back....sometimes top speed is not everything.
I started riding a zx6r, then zx7r, and came off a Duke 690 for it. Once thought I would never own a Harley. I do miss the Duke sometimes what an extremely lightweight and torquey bike. . The 114 fat bob is just an awesome bike I love it.no regrets. However i didnt enjoy the stock handlebars for long rides over an hour. 10 inch risers and t bars fixed that. Bars are right at shoulder height it's perfect. Wild 1 Chubby savage risers + bars, two bros comp s 2-1, fuel moto intake, power vision, woods wm8-22x cam, woods lifters + pushrod. The bike absolutely rips, sounds amazing, and with the new bars I can ride the bike all day.
I went from a CBR RR to a fat bob 114 & love every second of it. I never saw myself on a H-D until I saw the new fat bob. Now I’m hooked.
They are great bikes!
I can't think of anything to complain
about on mine. 5 gallon tank would
have been nice.
But most of my riding involves
100 miles or less so
its not a deal breaker.
I liked the bike in the video so much I bought it. Thanks Matt and Dave
If you get this message can you let me know how you like it so far? I never thought in a million years that I would get a Harley but this bike has me thinking...
@@yellow-_-toaster5627 if you enjoy the feeling of a bike accelerating so hard it requires hanging on for dear life this bike is a good start. I changed the oil pump, cam set bearings, pushrods, and had a new dyno tune to prevent it from blowing the top end like both my Stage three 2017 and 2019 Streetglide CVOs did.
Ready to try s&s big bore kit to make 131 . My 2023 is my new bae .have 11.5 miles on it .can’t wait to finish my build
I love my 18 fat bob, just wish I had bought it at laidlaws and saved myself almost a grand
5 k and I can rock the same set up and haul the mail! Screaming eagle never disappoints!!
Always enjoy the ride along Matt. I stopped in last week and talked for a while with Rick at your dealership. Appreciated his input and conversation. I stopped at another dealer and saw that a Sport Glide was marked up to 23000 dollars....I can dig what y’all do with prices..
Thanks man
Matt you did it again! You sold me on the Fat Bob with your review of the 2017 model; I now have a 2014 Fat Bob with Stage 1; but now I must say the Softail version is worth considering - awesome video!!
Set of T-bars and that thing is a BEAST
Yes sir! Fat Bob should come stock with T-Bars
K Dyna bro
Big ole 17s n its a monster
Ive had the Stage 4 on my 2018 breakout for a year now and am more than happy with the way it performs. Drop it down a gear and twist the throttle and it almost leaves u behind. It would be cool to see some content on any road trips or rides you might have planned in the future Matt. Cheers.
I know this comment was 2 years ago. I'm considering moving to a cruiser and I'm kinda torn between a ducati diavel and one of these. What kind of horse power is this thing putting out. Why does it seem to accelerate kinda sluggish? At least the video makes it seem that way. I'm currently on a kawasaki z800 which isn't a rocket ship but it climbs faster than this speedo is showing. I'm at around 116 hp and 98ft pounds. Bike weighs in at 500 pounds so it's not light either
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for for my 18 fat bob. Wow! Need a quote, Matt!
I never thought ide even look at this bike but holy cow it's beautiful
I got a 19 with stage two torque cam and two brothers exhaust as well, color Bonneville salt👍👍
That bike looks like a blast to ride 👌looks and sounds amazing 🇺🇸💪🏻
Stage IV going on my Street Bob soon can't wait. she will be a rocket
I love the cold weather, but this gets me excited for the warmer temperatures.
Matt Knows how to drive a bike for real! Doing over 100 on a busy hwy with no fairing.
I own a ‘19 Fat Bob with a Bassani RR3, air cleaner, and power vision tuner... and extremely happy with it.
I can only imagine the smile-factor with a stage 4!
@Shaun DuVall any problems with cops with Bassani exhausted?
Robert Gordillo none. My area (South Carolina) is very biker friendly. Guys run open drag pipes with no issues.
Shaun DuVall save your self some money i got a 2019 fxbb with a tbr exhaust a power vision and a s&s 475 cam and I have two buddy’s one with a stage 4 fxfb and a stage 4 fxbb and my bike is just as fast as as both and for quarter of the price the fat bob may have a little more on the bottom but top end no problem
Bought one 8 months ago. Then got a fantastic deal trading it on a Road Glide. Kinda regret it, but only a little. That fat bob is a super cool bike.
100mph effortlessly, I NEED a m8 Softail in my life
True words!
Harrison Wilson you really do!!
My Fatbob lives at 100, One handed. Such a sold frame. You won’t be disappointed.
Dude it’s literally the best! 2019 fat boy 114 here
My Softail Low rider s glides and hums at 100.
Looks like someone turned Bender from Futurama into a motorcycle.
Nice nice comment man; so truoooooooo....!
A friend had a Fatbob with that exact setup dealer fitted from new. All he got when cracking it open was clutch slip and had to spend a bunch more money on clutch upgrade. Unlike the touring model the softail stage 4 kit did not come with updated clutch parts in the kit in the UK.
Fatbob is my favorite Harley atm. Sure the LRS is cool but the bob is king in my book
I don’t disagree. I think the fat bob is my favorite softail too. I’m down with the LRS but the Fat Bob has such a unique appeal that is such a progressive style.
Cool bike. I like that fat bob and its head lamp. Only thing I would change, are the pegs (I would like mid pegs). Espcially with that Stage 4 kit.
Man, great video, as usual. I find it uncomfortable at triple digits on myb'19" roadglide, getting beat up by the wind... cant imagine taking 100% of it, without any fairing. That being said, I like the style of the FBob.
That sound made my heart raced
Great video, Matt. I just started modifying my bike. I have to do a little at a time. It was completely stock for 9 months. Now, I have very minor additions. Someday, I’d like to change out the exhaust and do some other mods to the engine. Just can’t do it right now. In the meantime, I get to live vicariously through your videos. Haha!
Yep, that's what I got and it's Amazing.
A very impressive machine. Thanks for sharing Matt.
Yeah Matt you’re dead on. I don’t know who the manufacturer is, but I’ve seen a fairing that fits that headlight and it looks badass. Maybe Memphis Shades.
Tarpon1989
Dougz Customs Spartan Fairing. Check it out
the best looking harley!
That TBR exhaust looks heaps better than the OEM pipes on the Fat Bob.
That bike looked and sounded very cool. That's some serious dough to sink into your bike though.
And lastly, your local streets blow as bad as our local streets in Orlando.
Awesome video Matt 👍 what a way to start the new year! That was enthusiastic and exhilarating 🏍️
Dream bike af. Can’t wait to upgrade to one of these bad boys. Currently have an 18’ 883. It’s fun but too slow.
At least you’re riding brother. The iron is a great first Harley.
Still waiting for a Harley that I can drag a knee on in the twisties. If they ever release the Bronx....just maybe, my only real concern is that it’ll be super slow
Don't knock it till you try it. I've had my 2019 117 FatBob at Horse Thief Mile at Willow Springs. Not as quick to drop into the corner as a street bike, and you have to move your butt over an extra inch or two before the deep twisties, but it's not as bad as you would think, and you can pass everyone at the bottom on the straightaway for sure. :-)
Naked bikes and high speeds are the only things keeping my abs in shape.
Bad ass!!!! 👍 love the fat bob!! My first Harley was a 2014 amber whiskey fat bob wish I would’ve be able to keep and buy my bagger too!!!
Great video Matt, loved it!
Now I have a thought which may or may not have occurred to you. Lots of people love the Softail chassis.
Many don’t want to move up to a full tourer as they don’t want to lose an ounce of agility. How about a special Sport Glide build with a Batwing Fairing and Boombox infotainment system.
This would potentially become the entry level tourer that would fill a gap. Perfect for some wanting the agility with a fully featured bike and a stepping stone for others.
Just a 💭 thought.
Such a sick bike
I think this bike would look great with mini apes on it can you guys get a pic with one so I can see what it looks like i am having a hard time deciding on what bike I want to get I just have my own style
My 2019 fat bob is in the shop for upgrades right now.... I just wanna rip around on it so bad right now!!!
Nick was right a few months back, the higher the rear end the better these dynatails handle!
Y’all know those red spark plug wires add 10HP right?? Haha. Love the Fat Bob! 🤙🏻
Every time I watch these videos I just want to jump on my street bob and see where the road takes me... hopefully close to a gas station and not in the middle of nowhere
DK Elli which is why I don’t want the Street Bob. That tank is tiny. Too much anxiety about mileage per gallon isn’t freedom to me. Well worth the upgrade to the low rider s I think.
It's bad ass but my issue with doing a stage 3 or 4 is that to put it on your new bike warranty it has to be done soon after you buy brand new, and then you pay to basically throw away half of your brand new engine you just paid for. Wish there was a CVO-like offering from factory for all models.
Hell of a sound 😀
Been following your channel for a while now and got to say I can’t wait to finally buy my future Harley at your shop. Best of luck on future success man.
Just bad ass bike exhaust note is glorious.
I wanna see a new low rider s with a nice set of apes, forward controls and some stage 3 torque. It's a sick bike but I prefer apes to t-bars, but I don't know how it would look with the fairing tho.
Mean looking bike dude and it sounds like it wants to destroy everything on the road🤘
I love the fat Bobs second to my road glide . I think the headlight looks different
I have a 2020 fat bob 114 and just did a stage 4 with the SE heavy breather filter.
2 questions
1) I can't reach the foot brake pedal, do you have the same problem as the filter is in the way????
2) my top speed is 120, how can I surpass that???
I put the road warrior fairing with 11" windshield from Memphis Shade to give it a killer look.
Looking forward to your response....
Fuuuiiuuuiick I love how the stage 4 moves that thing!!! It’s a Harley sports bike!!!!
Porque no existe esa cultura de manejo en mexico..! Felicitaciones por el canal, que en lo personal es el mejor para mi..!!
You’re making me want to stage 4 AND get a TBR 2-into-1 exhaust now .... fuck... that sound is ridiculously nice with the m8.
Stage 4 is really impressive. Please, next time aim the camera so that we can always see down the road and anticipate with the rider what is in front of him.
This bike is fun to ride just stock. I couldn't imagine what it would be like with Stage 2, 3 and especially 4. Totally agree with getting a fairing of some kind because above 70mph, that wind is hitting you right in the chest. Yes, do a video on the extended warranty when going to Stage 1-4. I discussed the issue with several dealerships when I was shopping around for Stage kits. Their overall suggestion is to go with Harley parts with the extended warranty. Wait till you get that bike paid for or many miles on it until you start experimenting with aftermarket parts because it can get stupid expensive if something goes bad.
Fat Bob best Bob.
I wanna ride this back till the end of my life
Diggin that boneville salt denim fat bob just before you pull out of the dealer.
Yea that’s a nice Fat bob we have for sale as well. We got some nice late model softails right now.
The front light, ouff
bike looks great and sounds bad ass!!!!!! i want it
Great video Matt! A video on the latest/greatest motorcycle apparel (from your perspective) would be interesting
This bike sounds so freakin good
Matt I love the fatbob, but got to say my 18FLHTK with a StageII will kick ass just as well. I am working on my 19FLHT will eat anything for lunch. My wife tells me I am too old for this but oh well lol.
I have a 2016 Fat Bob I want to get new I live the new look.
That sound...
🤤
She is my perfect commute bike.
Awesomeness...still waiting on the 2020 heritage softail review :-)
Let's see some SE Pro Street Tuner videos Matt. I've only got a stage I but I'd really be interested in some more tuning information for the average enthusiast.
Motorcycle response real nice to the throttle Happy New Year Matt Love the performance videos take care
Grats on 90k + subs Matt! 👍👊👏
Thank you!
This has to be a 100% CGI video as everybody knows there is too much traffic in California to ever pass triple digits. JUST KIDDING! Love your work on these videos.
Haha. Thanks man 👍🏻
Sounds Great Bro!-☆Just purchased my 2019,107--Roadking,,all stock ,Eye think?,☆
Love that sound!
A few great things about this review Matt, that other bloke who has been helping you do the review lately is boring in the way he talks, he is knowledgeable just boring,
Secondly, thanks for finally showing us a bike with a stage upgrade that wasn’t in its break in period, wld love to see that club style dyna that your fellow employ owns now that it should be broken in. And good to see the day reviews back, the night ones don’t give you feel for the surrounds and speed as you are riding. Just my opinion from down under in Aus.
Keep em coming.
Hey I drive that route for school every day lol from SCV to reseda
Does the air-intake and filter make your leg in a weird position for the brake or comfort? Thanks
Damn! Dat sound!
Fat bob vs low rider s ? What handles better in your opinion
They are so close that I couldn’t pick one over another.
Matt Laidlaw what about for commuting? Does the “fairing” on the lrs offer enough protection at the sacrifice of mid controls (leg position) in a factory to factory comparison?
Would this be a good fit for someone 6'3" tall?
Nice ride and sounds awesome. Be good to see reviews on harley associates that can to our bikes as well as clothing. Keep up the great videos.
THAT IS AWESOME.
Looks like a ton of fun
Tell us more about that Screamin Eagle warranty!
Hi, Matt.
Any idea as to why SE don't offer Stage IV crate engine for Softails, i.e. for FXFBS?
"thanks,". 🥺
Hard to justify the cost to upgrade but damn if that bike don't sound absolutely AMAZING!!!
