He must not be very strong! I'm going on 67 and the clutch pull resistance on my 2015 FLHP Road King Police is not something that I notice. he'll probably develop some muscle eventually and then he will not be saying that anymore about the clutch pull.
your FLHP has a hydraulic clutch, pretty much a girl clutch. Low Rider S has cable clutch about double the force yours has, so dont be a boss if you have a girl clutch... LOL
PeterDad60 indeed, but my first three Harleys all had cable clutches sitting on main street during Sturgis...before calling my bike a girl...I've been down your road and repeat, "you'll get used to it."
Mine is fairly stout. So if I'm in a lot of start-stop traffic, I tend to hold it with just the last two fingers way out by the ball on the end and let leverage be my friend.
I have a suggestion. Get a different bike. If your looking for something more comfortable with stock bars then you picked the wrong bike. This bike was designed for spirited riding. And it does that very well. I've kept my stock bars because the stock set up is perfect for carving canyons. Plus one on that bunking bar. You should check out the passenger one too. Together they afford the best protection.
Michael Scofield it's actually a Harley part out of the parts catalog. I think it's an 8 inch sissy bar and pad (sold separately). Docking hardware required. Please like and subscribe
What's with those idiotic rear crash bars? Ugly and pointless, unless you have saddlebags, maybe, then they'd just be ugly. The pipes sound good but they're very ugly, too. And get a Rekluse clutch. That'll solve everything.
For the clutch look into a hydraulic clutch conversion. There should be one available for that unit, six speed correct?. I converted my 01 Nightrain not because it was difficult but because I only have one arm and need to relocate the clutch lever to the right side.
Art Solo Unfortunately not. Might need to check with the dealership and see how much give you have to work with on the cables. My guess would be very little if you are going the riser route. Might be the only option. Sorry. Good luck and looking forward to see what you go with!
yeah unfortunately bro ur kinda screwed with setup options. I have the same bike and unless u go with another style drag bar ur pretty much gonna b extending ur lines. just find someone u trust cuz they r gonna have to do some mod work on the junction box under your triple tree cuz the bike is too new and not a lot of those type of parts out yet! but yeah I would recommend Big Als all day!
If you want to avoid costly line extentions you have to stay under 10 inches total (bars and risers). Sorry. I had the same dillema. Like and subscribe please!
Throw some pull back apes on there, 12 or 14s. Put a Rekluse clutch in it for heavy traffic riding. Tachometer: you'll learn the bike's feel and wont need to be staring at it all the time. Badass bike though!
how the thing handle in the corners? I'm in so cal and ride a lot of canyons. I have the FXSB. (breakout) I love my bike. got it in October and have 7K on it. but I've already ground my pegs down to nubs and have chewed up the bottom of my primary dragging in the turns. but I do also ride it like a sport bike more so then a Harley lol. so I'm really looking at this bike.
People still think of Harleys from 15yrs ago. I have a 2011 Sportster 48 with 12000kms and its never missed a beat. The Harley brand has come a long from the days of oil splatter.
Bomber I understand the bad apple concept however I had a 2015 FXDF bought new that was an awful bike with its problems. Thankfully I am rid of it. So not all criticisms are based off 15 year old rumor. According to my discussions with an engineer that worked for HD for 35 years, there are a list of a few things that will go wrong with about 99% of Dynas sold and almost all those things happened to mine within the first 18 months of ownership. None involved an oil puddle. Some involve things much much more serious than that.
Hey, nice bike and awesome sound! However, I noticed oil leaking from the engine top bolts? Is that water or something else? Have you noticed any leaks or funny sounds etc? I am planning on buying one so I am doing my research and the bar is high for that kind of money. Cool bike though!
100streamliner it was water. I had just washed it for the video. Definitely water. I definitely recommend this bike if you're in the market for a Harley. Hands down the best performer in the line up. I am very picky
Lucky Dave's lucky 13 bars !!! lane splitter tbars that are an 11" rise with some pull back.. also the bars have that mx style ... super comfortable , i can actually see back over my shoulders top notch !!! his seats are amazing as well !! These are the San Diego bars but pretty much the same th-cam.com/video/XOMYjsDj2-s/w-d-xo.html
If you see this bike with high sissy bar and mini ape? it looks mint like that :) if i had this bike i would put high sissy bar and mini ape :) as well as 180 mm or 200 mm rear tire on it.
damn so ur on 580 a lot, right? or maybe 780? at least u can lane split bro! lol. but u need some lane splitting bars! bro visit Big Als. as far as cables go, ur screwed bro, ur gonna have to extend!
Steven Suchy Suchy I'm actually getting Bung King risers and bars this weekend. Went with 2 inch bars and 6 inch risers because I wanted to avoid having to lengthen the cables
Art Solo what kong of bungking bars and risers? I have same bike and i want to change handle bar and risers to be more comfortable too. We have have the same pipe too. :)
Hey mate, great video. I'm over here in Australia with the same bike and attaching a quick release sissy bar. I've got the HD indicator replacement kit but doesn't work because the rear lights are 3 into 1 HID. How did you set yours up to keep the lights and have that extension to put the bar on. Cheers Tim 🤙🇦🇺
I also went with Lucky Dave's 13 in pullback risers with a memphis shades quarter fairing. Was the perfect choice for me. 2016 FXDLS. Tach is virtualy worthless where it sits but looks cool. My clutch pull is just ideal, you may need to lube cables or adjust.
Can't say I like the crash bobbins front or rear. Your choice of leaner bar is great (I have one on my 2012 Wide Glide) but it doesn't suit this bike...just a little shorty bum stop bar to keep your significant other feeling half way safe would be better and make it easier for them to mount / dismount.. Personally I like 6 inch T-bars with a little pullback so as to keep myself leaning forward a little into the breeze. I like your FXDL saddle, it must be soooo much more comfortable than the stocker on my 'Glide without the bulky look of the Sundowner touring seat I have for long runs. I'm liking the TBR pipe a lot. One of the guys I was riding with on Sunday had one on a warmed over Dyna Fatbob and it sounded even better in the metal. Your neighbours must cringe if like me you are off early to work on the bike...bit rowdy but nice note. The clutch, well with the 110 motor comes a little extra torque over my 103 and it requires the heavier clutch spring...as some one said "you'll get used to it" or if it continues to bother you, try a hydraulic clutch. I built one out of stuff I bought on Ebay for my 2005 FXDL a few years ago and it was sweet. Overall, what a beautiful bike mate, you're a lucky man. I like the Breakout too but this is more of a rider's machine.
Bike is Quick bro! I have a 2016 Indian Chief Classic in Pearl. I could Never ride Without floorboards or a "Heal" shift. So much easier on the left foot with a heavy clutch.
The clutch clutch is a Harley clutch It is what it is 1930 farm equipment . It is what it is Look into a victory If you like American .May the wind be in your face and your feet on the boards .
Art Most Harleys have a stiff clutch there are solutions -Mechanical assist like an ez pull or go with a hydraulic clutch which HD sells If you want taller bars you will most likely need longer cables and wiring. Longer cables are sold by many businesses including Harley to make your wiring easier look into a California company called Guerrilla Cables they make plug and play cable extensions using HD connectors.
The clutch on mine is not heavy at all. If you've been riding long, you know you don't have to pull the clutch but about a third of the way back for a smooth shift. Pulling it to the bar is doing nothing but stretching the cable. I often don't use it at all but I'm a long-time rider that understands that stuff. The other stuff, non-issues. I guess it's required to have loud "look at me" pipes on a Harley but I will never understand why anyone would want something as loud and obnoxious as those TBRs. But that's just me. Enjoy the ride.
I have the same fairing on my 07 street bob and the buffeting was horrendous. So eventually I got a laminar lip deflector that goes on top, and that took away just about all the buffeting. The company is Laminar Lip I believe and the deflector was actually for the smaller fairing but fit the bigger one no problem.
How do you like that sissy bar?? Any complaints? Is there any loud rattle through acceleration? Wanted to pick up the same one for my lowrider s. Thanks man
I always wanted to take one of these and put a Arlen ness springer front end with a tall skinny spoke wheel. Fat tire on the back and maybe a "junk yard" Subaru turbo with 585 cam. Hey yer pard
you can get clutch levers with pull assist. I know i'm late to the party with this but check out MS Blockhead new softail lowrider i think the bar might be just what your looking for well that's if you still looking that is anyway have a good one nice bike and ride safe.
Nice clip and assessment Art. Fair comment on the gauges. I have changed the bars/risers on every Harley I have owned. We are all a bit different shape, so I just chalk it up to making the bike mine. I went with the variable pressure clutch as part of the 117 upgrade and it is easily the lightest and nicest clutch I have used.
Consider: luckydaves.com/product/lucky-13-bar/ - the pull back moves the bar closer to you, they are narrower than the H-D drag bar and you can get the riser height as tall as you like. Note that longer brake lines and clutch cable may be needed depending on how high you go.
bike is looking good. can wait to get mine. does the shift linkage have a brand logo on both sides of the mechanism? keep the videos on the bike up please. they are all I have until I get mine.
A 2 into 1 like the two bros or dual supertrapps always sounds best on a Harley. I have no clue why this was in my recommended, I can't even afford an 80's Dyna. but good video.
Bad ass bike all around . Dang did the dude leave the channel for dead , was hoping to see more videos on the bike . Dude ripping ass in areas where cars have alarms is a job well done Haha
Great looking bike I like your mods love the sound. Was very excited when they made s model with 110 engine it's awesome!!! Always amazed how I can really like so many different styles/formats Harley comes up with. As far as comfort it could be worse try my V Rod Muscle it's definitely not that comfy. That's why they make Ultras street and road glides lol. ✌️
Art Solo Do you a have completed TH-cam channel I was trying to find more vids only saw a couple videos. I want to visit your "about"section as well but could not find. Looks like you have over 50k views but just wanted background you said you had previously owned same basic bike but with the 103 engine. My wife rides a little Honda shadow 750 shes tiny Asian girl 105lbs 5'1 but she says her Honda is too slow lol. I put her on Sportbikes but she plant feet on the ground. She sat on the Slim glide s also 110 and really liked the way it feels and very low seat height how does seating and mid controls on your bike compare? I think she would love the mid controls on your bike but never tried her on it. Thanks
Paulk Master I would say that the Lowrider or Lowrider s would be great for a small woman when it comes to seat height and mid controls. But they are heavy. If she can handle the weight I'd say it's perfect.
Art Solo Thanks for answering if it's not heavier than the slim glide s then yes she can take it off the stand. I subscribed to your channel your videos are excellent ✌️😎👍
How did you manage to get those pipes here in CA? looks like they're setting off car alarms, have you been pulled over yet? Sounds gorgeous btw. I went with the regular LR becuse it's a little easier to modify the bars without spending an arm and a leg on new lines and wires.
I have two Bros Comp-S and they are very loud. I'm expecting a DB killer from them in the mail tomorrow. I also live in Cali and The cops look me over too often. I also ordered from Revzilla.
I have a 2012 fxdc. Was looking at buying this bike but I didn't like the handlebars either. Now if I could just put pull backs that came with my fxdc on this bike I would probably only one right now.
dheller777 I'm actually getting pull back risers and 2 inch bars next week. Keep everyone updated. Yeah the bars are crap on the stock low Rider s, but let's be honest most ppl change the bars on their bike
Art Solo I agree on the speedometer placement, but that's just a Harley. I noticed you have a handlebar phone mount. Just download a speedo app. Some are free. Works for me.
Get after market levers if you want real soft clutch and brakes. i had the same problem with my levers on the street bob - the brakes cant even be pulled back and the scum bag dealership technicians said it was normal hahaha.
Dude I've got the same bike. Yours is looking good. DK custom 2" "Fat" stealth bar risers. Much much better. Clutch cable is maxed out at full lock, but all the other cables are fine. Wouldn't want to go any higher without changing the brake line and it's welded to the connector block, so that would be a major pain in the tits. Would need to go to a dealer, as they'd need to prime the ABS. I'm totally happy with in now, still easy to hustle about and way more comfy. Also, you might want to have the dealer look at the clutch pull, mine is fine.
Yo Art. Any issues installing your Arlen Ness fairing? According to RevZilla, this fairing won't fit on a 2017 FXDLS, but obviously in this video it fits yours just fine. Clarification? Thanks
I've had very few bikes with tachs and I never needed one. When I've had one, I ignored it. I have ears. The speedometer, that's a different story. Most of my motorcycles have had the speedometer on the fatbob-style gas tanks. It's not too much a stretch to see it while riding. Never a problem.
No haven't as I have come from a Yamaha XJR1300, so they kind of feel Ok. I'm 6foot tall so Peg and Bar relationship is comfortable. I have a Sundowner seat fitted as well, for the wife.
Awsome bike man! I have a Fat Bob, same pipes, love em. Question, do those front crash Bungs scrape at all in serious corners? I'm subscribed as of now.
As to your other issues, there are a ton of handlebars and risers out there to try out. I would go to the standard Dyna bar& riser and look to then going with the riser mount Tach & Speedo. It would mean a different tank dash. As an alternitive, Dakota digital makes a nice all in one digital unitI think you could have it sistered into the system. It has a digital readout of gear your in, mileage a sweep tack and mph display. www.jpcycles.com/product/352-560
Also an aftermarket hydraulic clutch would solve your heavy clutch issues. I would do it at the same time you change bars, since you would need a longer clutch cable anyway.
Wide tyres make a bike lazier to steer AND you need more lean angle for the same amount of speed. So you get worse handling and can't go around corners as fast. Check out the youtube vid: What's With Tire Width? | MC GARAGE
Nice review and bike! Thanks for pointing out the dislikes especially the clutch grip. I'm not keen of having a lefty pop eye arm. Have you considered a mid rise apebar? I think it will add a nice touch to it. The crash peg is also something new and have never seen it before. it's definitely minimal.
Paul Frankel thanks ! Please like and subscribe! Trying to get 100k subscribers so I can get a TH-cam button. Only 99,950 more! Also I got a Saddleman Step Up LS seat, Bung King bars and risers and a few other goodies since last video. Update soon

No offense, but welcome to the Harley clutch...you'll get used to it.
He must not be very strong! I'm going on 67 and the clutch pull resistance on my 2015 FLHP Road King Police is not something that I notice. he'll probably develop some muscle eventually and then he will not be saying that anymore about the clutch pull.
your FLHP has a hydraulic clutch, pretty much a girl clutch. Low Rider S has cable clutch about double the force yours has, so dont be a boss if you have a girl clutch... LOL
PeterDad60 indeed, but my first three Harleys all had cable clutches sitting on main street during Sturgis...before calling my bike a girl...I've been down your road and repeat, "you'll get used to it."
you know I was joking, right?
Mine is fairly stout. So if I'm in a lot of start-stop traffic, I tend to hold it with just the last two fingers way out by the ball on the end and let leverage be my friend.
I have a suggestion. Get a different bike. If your looking for something more comfortable with stock bars then you picked the wrong bike. This bike was designed for spirited riding. And it does that very well. I've kept my stock bars because the stock set up is perfect for carving canyons. Plus one on that bunking bar. You should check out the passenger one too. Together they afford the best protection.
Nice man! Question, where did you buy the sissy bar?
Michael Scofield it's actually a Harley part out of the parts catalog. I think it's an 8 inch sissy bar and pad (sold separately). Docking hardware required. Please like and subscribe
She's a beaut
What's with those idiotic rear crash bars? Ugly and pointless, unless you have saddlebags, maybe, then they'd just be ugly. The pipes sound good but they're very ugly, too. And get a Rekluse clutch. That'll solve everything.
Setting off car alarms is always fun. I do that with my sportster sometimes. It happens 😀
Jacob James YEEz!!
When you installed your sissy bar did you have to purchase a turn signal relocation kit?
For the clutch look into a hydraulic clutch conversion. There should be one available for that unit, six speed correct?. I converted my 01 Nightrain not because it was difficult but because I only have one arm and need to relocate the clutch lever to the right side.
LUCKY DAVE'S Lucky 13 bars!!! Seats are amazing too if you are looking to change it!
DRU I'm trying to avoid getting clutch and break line extensions. Any recommendations?
Art Solo Unfortunately not. Might need to check with the dealership and see how much give you have to work with on the cables. My guess would be very little if you are going the riser route. Might be the only option. Sorry. Good luck and looking forward to see what you go with!
yeah unfortunately bro ur kinda screwed with setup options. I have the same bike and unless u go with another style drag bar ur pretty much gonna b extending ur lines. just find someone u trust cuz they r gonna have to do some mod work on the junction box under your triple tree cuz the bike is too new and not a lot of those type of parts out yet! but yeah I would recommend Big Als all day!
Another vote for Lucky Dave's Lucky 13... I installed them on my 08 FXDF and couldn't be happier... !!!
If you want to avoid costly line extentions you have to stay under 10 inches total (bars and risers). Sorry. I had the same dillema. Like and subscribe please!
Man, this is the bike I want. Perhaps the 2016 model...either way, one of the best looking bikes out right now hands down.
Throw some pull back apes on there, 12 or 14s.
Put a Rekluse clutch in it for heavy traffic riding.
Tachometer: you'll learn the bike's feel and wont need to be staring at it all the time.
Badass bike though!
Lee Crigger I recently changed the bars and riser. Also the seat and a few more things. Video to come ! Thanks !
how the thing handle in the corners? I'm in so cal and ride a lot of canyons. I have the FXSB. (breakout) I love my bike. got it in October and have 7K on it. but I've already ground my pegs down to nubs and have chewed up the bottom of my primary dragging in the turns. but I do also ride it like a sport bike more so then a Harley lol. so I'm really looking at this bike.
timothy harden it handles really well for a Harley . I've heard it's the best breaking and handling Harley. I've only rode Sportsters and Dynas though
Art Solo ok thanks. I'm in so cal if you ever might wanna cruise pch.
Very nice love your bike
People still think of Harleys from 15yrs ago. I have a 2011 Sportster 48 with 12000kms and its never missed a beat. The Harley brand has come a long from the days of oil splatter.
Bomber agreed. And he soortster engine is bullet proof. But yeah, new HD don't leak oil or anything

Bummer man.. my 08 FXDF is clocking 25k and it's a beast.. Just removed FuelPak for a full Dyno tune and the bike is a double beast now !!! :)

Big Als makes some nice risers and bars.
tap42al yes big Al's 10 inch bubba clamps and kdub high bend bars on my street bob absolutely love the set up !
Lucky Dave's lucky 13 bars !!! lane splitter tbars that are an 11" rise with some pull back.. also the bars have that mx style ... super comfortable , i can actually see back over my shoulders top notch !!! his seats are amazing as well !!
These are the San Diego bars but pretty much the same

If you see this bike with high sissy bar and mini ape? it looks mint like that :) if i had this bike i would put high sissy bar and mini ape :) as well as 180 mm or 200 mm rear tire on it.
Never liked pro street, give me a Dyna or FXR any day. I'm a loyal Harley rider, but they have several bikes I would never own or even be seen on.
oh I forgot to mention, 2000 miles in a month??? DAMN!! u ride the shit outta that bike! lol. awesome!
Skottie delago lol. Yeah I do 100 miles a day round trip to work and back. SJ to SF and back
damn so ur on 580 a lot, right? or maybe 780? at least u can lane split bro! lol. but u need some lane splitting bars! bro visit Big Als. as far as cables go, ur screwed bro, ur gonna have to extend!

are you having any problems with your Low rider S? Im curious as to why so many ppl are selling thiers within 1 year. Thanks
The is a minor starting issue involving software, which is a free repair. Other than than, its IMO the best stock Harley ever produced
thanks man.. i been on the fence about buying one.. love the look of yours. nice job thanks for all the vids
Who are you talking about? Who are the "so many ppl(huh?)...selling thiers(sic) within 1 year"?
do a craigslist search... start with the south east US.. at one point there were five 2016s for sale.
Remember in California, all bikes built beginning 2013 are required to have EPA and/or CARB certified exhaust pipes.

Only a kunt wouldn't appreciate and love the sound of a well-equipped Harley passing by.
The gauge cluster has been that way since the very first 1977 FXS Low Rider. My 1998 Low Rider is the same way as well. You get used to it.
The clutch on mine is not heavy at all. If you've been riding long, you know you don't have to pull the clutch but about a third of the way back for a smooth shift.

Bike Aid cable lube does wonders for that hard pull. Also Harley does make a light pull kit, but try the Bike aid first.
McConely bar risers with protapper bars
gives you that Harley ride back
also do a tank lift gets the Speedo in sight. But the tach is still to low
bike is looking good. can wait to get mine. does the shift linkage have a brand logo on both sides of the mechanism? keep the videos on the bike up please. they are all I have until I get mine.
🔥🔥🔥
I've got one too, put some apes on it and took off the fairing, looks like a completely different bike now. I like it both ways honestly.
A 2 into 1 like the two bros or dual supertrapps always sounds best on a Harley.
I have no clue why this was in my recommended, I can't even afford an 80's Dyna. but good video.
Great Bike ! You should put a Big Bore 117 kit on it and get some Hand Grip Strengtheners.
Bad ass bike all around . Dang did the dude leave the channel for dead , was hoping to see more videos on the bike . Dude ripping ass in areas where cars have alarms is a job well done Haha
I don’t need a video, I can glance at it and see what you did to it. Bye.
Great looking bike I like your mods love the sound. Was very excited when they made s model with 110 engine it's awesome!!! Always amazed how I can really like so many different styles/formats Harley comes up with. As far as comfort it could be worse try my V Rod Muscle it's definitely not that comfy. That's why they make Ultras street and road glides lol. ✌️
Paulk Master thanks ! I've made more upgrades. Video coming soon!
Art Solo Do you a have completed TH-cam channel I was trying to find more vids only saw a couple videos. I want to visit your "about"section as well but could not find. Looks like you have over 50k views but just wanted background you said you had previously owned same basic bike but with the 103 engine. My wife rides a little Honda shadow 750 shes tiny Asian girl 105lbs 5'1 but she says her Honda is too slow lol. I put her on Sportbikes but she plant feet on the ground. She sat on the Slim glide s also 110 and really liked the way it feels and very low seat height how does seating and mid controls on your bike compare? I think she would love the mid controls on your bike but never tried her on it. Thanks
Paulk Master I would say that the Lowrider or Lowrider s would be great for a small woman when it comes to seat height and mid controls. But they are heavy. If she can handle the weight I'd say it's perfect.
Art Solo Thanks for answering if it's not heavier than the slim glide s then yes she can take it off the stand. I subscribed to your channel your videos are excellent ✌️😎👍
To bad somebody hasn't invented telescopic handlebars.
like the crash bars and the duel front brakes abs ...very nice bike. ride safe. ty for sharing
Love the bike man but I'm sorry the crash bar is hideous to me but hey it protects the cosmetics so it's all good
I find it hard to figure any sort of complaint about a Dyna with a 110.
baby apes from wild 1 chubbys stiil have em in j&p catalog
check my bars on my fxdls, good with stock cables
Try 2007 xl883 l bars, beautiful bike, you got a class ride
How did you manage to get those pipes here in CA? looks like they're setting off car alarms, have you been pulled over yet? Sounds gorgeous btw. I went with the regular LR becuse it's a little easier to modify the bars without spending an arm and a leg on new lines and wires.
JuanderBoy I love the regular FXDL. Great bike! The pipes , order them off of Revzilla youll get them
Thanks for the reply. Revzilla it is!
I have two Bros Comp-S and they are very loud. I'm expecting a DB killer from them in the mail tomorrow.
I also live in Cali and The cops look me over too often. I also ordered from Revzilla.
Is that front tire on backwards? Sure looks like it.
Dirtybirdconcepts has a real nice chin spoiler for you....they just made it. Check them out.
Thank you! I purchased a Ducati Diavel as a second bike. Check it out! Also, please Like and Subscribe
Hi Art,
Could you post the linke to the crash bar and pegs? Was that 'Bun King'?
Like the video keep up the good work.
Terry Waller yes Bung King and they are indestructible
I have a 2012 fxdc. Was looking at buying this bike but I didn't like the handlebars either. Now if I could just put pull backs that came with my fxdc on this bike I would probably only one right now.
dheller777 I'm actually getting pull back risers and 2 inch bars next week. Keep everyone updated. Yeah the bars are crap on the stock low Rider s, but let's be honest most ppl change the bars on their bike
loose the background music.
Awesome mods! Love the flush mount but can't find it on the HD site. Only chrome ones.. can you add a link?
Joseph Puglise that's weird. I looked it up too and only found the chrome ones. Call a Harley dealership. I've seen them at the dealerships everywhere
is thatthe stock air cleaner ?
Massimo B yes
Art Solo I agree on the speedometer placement, but that's just a Harley. I noticed you have a handlebar phone mount. Just download a speedo app. Some are free. Works for me.
set off alarms is a bonus when choosing a exhaust.
What the model or model number to sissy bar and pad
SOunds good. What sissy bar do you have ?
T bars
1st Harley man? Cute clip.
Not the fucking eagles man.
Get after market levers if you want real soft clutch and brakes.
i had the same problem with my levers on the street bob - the brakes cant even be pulled back and the scum bag dealership technicians said it was normal hahaha.
Lucky daves lucky 13 bars man!
Dude I've got the same bike. Yours is looking good.
DK custom 2" "Fat" stealth bar risers. Much much better. Clutch cable is maxed out at full lock, but all the other cables are fine. Wouldn't want to go any higher without changing the brake line and it's welded to the connector block, so that would be a major pain in the tits. Would need to go to a dealer, as they'd need to prime the ABS. I'm totally happy with in now, still easy to hustle about and way more comfy. Also, you might want to have the dealer look at the clutch pull, mine is fine.
Nigel Rennie thanks for all the info!
Nigel Rennie thanks for all the info!
Yo Art. Any issues installing your Arlen Ness fairing? According to RevZilla, this fairing won't fit on a 2017 FXDLS, but obviously in this video it fits yours just fine. Clarification? Thanks
H. Wes I actually got the dealership to install. It requires mounting brackets
Your bike sounds great. Not too loud. Nice rumble. I've owned a couple of Harley Davidson motorcycles. None had a tach and I never missed it.
Scooter George sometimes I like to see my rpm, even though I don't really need to
I've had very few bikes with tachs and I never needed one. When I've had one, I ignored it. I have ears. The speedometer, that's a different story. Most of my motorcycles have had the speedometer on the fatbob-style gas tanks. It's not too much a stretch to see it while riding. Never a problem.
Is that just a hd sissy bar? Nice bike!
what did 110 cost
GREAT VIDEO , WELCOME TO DYNA LIFE
Cool! I've had my FXDLS for 4 months now great bike! - wondering what brand is your sissy bar? Thanks
Evilceleron it's a Harley Davidson part. Have to changed out your bars or risers?
No haven't as I have come from a Yamaha XJR1300, so they kind of feel Ok. I'm 6foot tall so Peg and Bar relationship is comfortable. I have a Sundowner seat fitted as well, for the wife.
what specific sissy bar is that?
HELLO!!! GREAT BIKE!!!WHICH SISSY DID YOU INSTALL??
gonzalo martínez-monche it's a Harley Davidson 8 inch sissy bar
Awsome bike man! I have a Fat Bob, same pipes, love em. Question, do those front crash Bungs scrape at all in serious corners? I'm subscribed as of now.
ps. MX TBARS 12" from West coast Tbars.
Brian Newman no scraping. But they do get scratched from rocks on the freeway , same as front forks
As to your other issues, there are a ton of handlebars and risers out there to try out. I would go to the standard Dyna bar& riser and look to then going with the riser mount Tach & Speedo. It would mean a different tank dash. As an alternitive, Dakota digital makes a nice all in one digital unitI think you could have it sistered into the system. It has a digital readout of gear your in, mileage a sweep tack and mph display.

Jeffy2n thanks! I got 6" pull back risers and 2" bars this week. Feels a lot better. I couldn't go any taller without extending the cables
Sweet bike. I'm really digging the new Roadster.
Also an aftermarket hydraulic clutch would solve your heavy clutch issues. I would do it at the same time you change bars, since you would need a longer clutch cable anyway.
Nice video, like what you have done so far.
KnuckleUpFightClub thanks man!
put 200 mm rear tire on it :) i will fit 180 mm nicely
Wide tyres make a bike lazier to steer AND you need more lean angle for the same amount of speed. So you get worse handling and can't go around corners as fast.
Check out the youtube vid: What's With Tire Width? | MC GARAGE
When you are at idle, does the tachometer needle move a bit up and down? I have about 300 miles on it, 5 days riding
How is your FXDLS doing? Any update? I purchased a second bike. Ducati Diavel. Check it out if you havent yet. Thanks!
Nice review and bike! Thanks for pointing out the dislikes especially the clutch grip. I'm not keen of having a lefty pop eye arm. Have you considered a mid rise apebar? I think it will add a nice touch to it. The crash peg is also something new and have never seen it before. it's definitely minimal.
Pablo H. I ended up going with 8 inch pull back risers and 2 inch bars. Video to come with new upgrades
can't wait to see.
Seriously, get a Rekluse centrifugal clutch! All my future Harleys will have one. Watch their videos and you'll be sold.
West Coast T Bars
What sissy bar is this ???
Who uses clocks?
The pipes sound and look terrific.
Paul Frankel thanks ! Please like and subscribe! Trying to get 100k subscribers so I can get a TH-cam button. Only 99,950 more! Also I got a Saddleman Step Up LS seat, Bung King bars and risers and a few other goodies since last video. Update soon
