Low Rider ST will be my next gift to myself. Going to wait a couple of years and avoid the markup and depreciation. I've owned twelve H-D and only one was new from dealer.
Pretty much a must buy. I'm not walking around with a side bag with a metal support hanging out with no inbuilt handle. I see why people were complaining about these bags now.
Great video thank you, I have had a Dyna with saddle bags and my current FatBoy S 😊 All going well I can take delivery over the next 2 months. Regards John from Oz
Looking forward to more videos 👍🏼 Maybe you could do an outside video around the bike without the bags. And like many others probably are curious about. How are the wind protection and is there any wind buffeting? And with that in mind, how tall are you ?
Great idea! I'll do a walkaround without the bags soon. I can't comment on the wind protection as I haven't ridden it yet (the roads/weather still sucks here) but I should be able to get it out soon. I'm about 5'10 and the stock controls/bars fit me perfectly!
….I’m 6’2” with long legs….I’ve had the ST on the highway at 80mph in heavy (25+mph) winds….it was rock solid….zero wind buffeting for me….I wear a full face helmet, and the only air that was hitting it was smooth clean air….no bobbleheading whatsoever….bike felt extremely planted at speed….in crosswinds, I can feel the wind pushing on me, but it has little effect on the bike….sudden wind gusts from the side do grab the bike, but not enough to change your line….
I just want to know why Harley didn't go with a 2 into 1 and make both bags the same size? Also, why not have the bags open at the top instead of like a briefcase? There's a few other ideas I've had for bag lids for long time, but those two are the top for this bike
Very informative video. Thanks. I’m ordering mine tomorrow. Small question though. If I understood it correctly, In order to mount a sissy bar (harley original) you do need other docking hardware? You can’t use the ones fitted as standard?
Congratulations! To explain the mounting situation better, let's pretend that you intend on using both a sissy bar and side bags. To do that, you'd need "double docking hardware". The sissy bar would mount to the first set of hardware (closest to the fender) and then the bags mount to the outer hardware. From the factory there are spacers in place of the "inner" hardware where the sissy bar would mount to. You need to replace those bushings with another set of docking hardware to run the sissy bar (or tour pack). There MAY be a factory bar that is much wider in order to mount onto the factory supplied "outer" hardware but I've never seen it.
One thing to note - the FLSB (sport glide) saddlebags are different than the FXLRS saddlebags. The right hand side FXLRST saddlebag is shorter to clear the stock dual exhaust.
I wish Harley would've used a two into one exhaust, allowing for same size saddlebags. Every time I see an ST, I think it's perfect except for the lopsided bags.
Hi! Curious to see if your bags have a significant amount of play when locked into place, particularly the right side. I noticed after a few days of riding the new bike. Trying to figure out how to tighten things up.
I don't know. The added cost of the ST that has sorta not that great bags and a fairing/gauges that I don't really like made me buy the S. I'll add my own gizmos later.
Are the knobs on the locking mechanism used to detach the bags slightly loose on yours? I noticed that the knob on mine has a slight bit of free play when the bag is locked.
Great video . Curious on how much the sticker price was and how much you paid? I live in Panama City beach and they just got one in. They have it listed for $28,999.
I'm pretty sure that you can purchase them separate but I'm not certain of the part number. These bags also came on the Sport Glide although they were mounted lower
Have been trying to find out if you need to replace the exhaust into a 2-1 just to put passenger pegs on? Haven’t seen anyone mention it but it seems like the place where’d they go is currently behind the exhaust
I think the passenger pegs sit just above the top exhaust pipe. It looks like the same exhaust as some other softails which do come with passenger pegs from the factory.
Have you had a bag with the leather pro bags? If so how they compare with loading up. I have the leather pro and they hold a lot, but they don't lock and not water proof. I don't use my bags much but when I do I load them.
Maybe I'll make a video to compare the two bags side by side. A friend of mine had the V2's and now has the V3's on his 2008 Low Rider. If I had to guess I would say that you might have more space with the LP's fully expanded but I may be wrong. The left side (larger) bag on the ST is actually surprisingly large in person though so I really need to see them next to each other.
I added simple combination locks to my Leather Pros. I like the fact that they pop right off but can be locked on, have a handle, and don't have that bar sticking out. I would bet that the leather pros hold a lot more than these when expanded.
I was wondering if you could mount leather pros on this in lieu of the bags? I like the hard bag look but I’d rather run LP’s also do you plan on changing the pipes?
Yes you could definitely swap the stock hardware with the LP hardware and mount the bags. Shouldn't be a problem at all. I'm chaging the pipes ASAP! I was surprised that my dealer told me I can change the pipes myself without voiding the warranty as long as I use the Screamin Eagle tuner.
Looks good, I had one ordered it came and the motor had a buzzing noise and pinging. Also the bars were crooked to the right about a 1/4 inch. Not sure if risers or bars themselves. Can you check yours to see if perfectly straight?
Nope, mine are not perfectly straight, it's one of the first things I noticed. There are rubber bushings in the risers that have some play to the and I just attributed it that. That's a SUPER big bummer about your motor though. I really hope mine remains solid. Are they going to replace the motor or the whole bike?
@@MikeBaker___ not sure yet, there were limited bikes for the initial run. Not sure what part of NY you are from but most dealers here didn’t get one and I was ordered from the initial batch, I’m in NY as well. The Hudson valley. But the bars being crooked is kinda crazy. I can’t believe they sending out this way. I’m awaiting a answer from the dealer on the motor noise before I take it.
@@arthurtamburo7121 I feel pretty lucky that mine came in already because I know that there are a ton of dealers that are still waiting for theirs. The owner of the dealer that I got mine from had ordered his (grey) at the same time and it still isn't here. I'm just outside of Buffalo for reference. Was the noise apparent on the first start up? I haven't had mine running for more than about a minute after I took delivery of it...
@@MikeBaker___ the noise pinging sound of metal was when it drove up to 10mph. Once the bike was warmed and test drove and hot, then the buzzing started from what sounded like the cam chest area.
@@arthurtamburo7121 Thank you for the info, I'll try to get mine out asap so I can see if I have any of the same issues. Fingers crossed that your problem is resolved soon.
Let me guess you prefer the chromed out look? I don't blame you since I tend to like that traditional look also although my Street Bob is just as blacked out as this one. I think the grey color looks better with this bike. It tends to match the seat better and has a bit of contrast from the all black look.

So?
Great video! Harley makes fitted pull out liner bags for these too. Makes getting gear in and out of the hotel more convienient.
Pretty much a must buy.
I'm not walking around with a side bag with a metal support hanging out with no inbuilt handle. I see why people were complaining about these bags now.
Thanks for finally showing both bags great video

I’ve been looking for a video like this! Thanks for making it :)
Subscribed! Best video on these bags I've seen. I just bought these for my Low Rider S. Personally not a fan of the fairing.
Looking forward to more videos 👍🏼

Love how you can attach them closed that's dope
That was interesting one bag is bigger than the other one. Good info 👍

I’m working on finding a way to integrate a handle in my bags and make the support strut fold up.
Please make a video on the top clamp display and everything it does
It’s exactly the same display as on the Street Bob and the Breakout
I wish Harley would've used a two into one exhaust, allowing for same size saddlebags. Every time I see an ST, I think it's perfect except for the lopsided bags.
Awesome sauce 👌 stay safe out there 🙏
Hold up.. would these fit perfectly with the dyna switchback??
Hi! Curious to see if your bags have a significant amount of play when locked into place, particularly the right side. I noticed after a few days of riding the new bike. Trying to figure out how to tighten things up.
Mine don't! They are actually surprisingly tight.
Congratulations! Very good review! 2147 Crew…
I don't know. The added cost of the ST that has sorta not that great bags and a fairing/gauges that I don't really like made me buy the S. I'll add my own gizmos later.
Are the knobs on the locking mechanism used to detach the bags slightly loose on yours? I noticed that the knob on mine has a slight bit of free play when the bag is locked.
Yep it definitely turns a bit, it isn't completely fixed on mine
Great overview Mike!!! New subscriber on YT and IG!
Thank you!
Great video . Curious on how much the sticker price was and how much you paid? I live in Panama City beach and they just got one in. They have it listed for $28,999.
I paid $22,800 plus NYS tax.
They're adding a markup
Hello mate. Do you know if those saddlebags can be purchased separate and what would be their part no?
I'm pretty sure that you can purchase them separate but I'm not certain of the part number. These bags also came on the Sport Glide although they were mounted lower

I think the passenger pegs sit just above the top exhaust pipe. It looks like the same exhaust as some other softails which do come with passenger pegs from the factory.
Any view from behind? Small bag ? versus left one ☝️

Thanks for the vid.if I may ask what was the total price out the door.i ask because I've been waiting for my Indian dark horse since Jan
It was just over $25k including NYS 8.75% sales tax.
Ordered one last Thursday in gray.
Congratulations! You're going to love it.
I was wondering if you could mount leather pros on this in lieu of the bags? I like the hard bag look but I’d rather run LP’s also do you plan on changing the pipes?

Do you have the part number for the docking hardware that the bags slide into?
90201533 should be the docking hardware and 90201541 should be the spaced right behind it.
Just reserved mine today. Would a full face helmet fit in the clutch side bag?
I havent tried but I seriously doubt it. They are quite deep but not wide enough to fit a helmet.
No it wont
Show how you load all your gear in the bags. It's hard to believe you can get that much in them.
Looks good, I had one ordered it came and the motor had a buzzing noise and pinging. Also the bars were crooked to the right about a 1/4 inch. Not sure if risers or bars themselves. Can you check yours to see if perfectly straight?

Can’t remove the other bag ? Does it have a bracket also?
The other bag operates exactly the same. Quick release with a bracket.
@@MikeBaker___ thanks,;)
thanks for the prespective!
Does the big bag have a support bracket as well?
Yep, same style as the small bag.
Only Harley could create a removable saddlebag with a huge bracket hanging off it. They must get their engineers from the University of Juarez
They could've put black docking hardware.
What’s the production on this model?
They made 300 models to start but they will be making a lot more in the future. The second run should be available for pre-order soon.
@@MikeBaker___ thank you boss
This bike looks so much better without the bags on it
Do they make a sissy bar for this yet?
Any Softail sissy bar will work as long as you have the inner docking hardware (assuming you want quick release)
The fact that the bags are different sizes ruins the whole bike for me, it's not symmetrical.
IDK maybe just me being old school and no offense. Low rider S and ST not my style and those bags are butt ugly. Sorry.
Let me guess you prefer the chromed out look? I don't blame you since I tend to like that traditional look also although my Street Bob is just as blacked out as this one.
