2021 Low Rider S (FXLRS) vs the NEW 2021 Street Bob (FXBBS)

This is a quick comparison of the 2021 Low Rider S (FXLRS) and the new 2021 Street Bob (FXBBS)
I take a minute to discuss some of the things that make these bikes different and I give my thoughts on whether or not the Low Rider is worth the extra $3,000 difference.
Just to list a few of those differences-
- Inverted SHOWA front forks at a 28degree rake vs the standard fork setup and 30 degree rake on theStreet Bob 114
- Dual BREMBO calipers and floating disk rotors vs the single BREMBO caliper with standard rotor on the Street Bob
- Larger fuel tank at 5 gallons vs the 3.5 on the Street Bob (this could be a minus if you like the sleek look of the street bob
- Larger front and rear fender (again, depending on the look this could be a negative for you
- 180mm Michelin Scorcher in the back and 110mm Michelin Scorcher up front vs the 150mm Dunlop rear and 100mm Dunlop front on the Street Bob
- Lower ground clearance at 4.7” vs the 4.9” on the Street Bob. This leads to a lower center of gravity for the Low Rider. Somehow the Low Rider still has a greater lean angle of 30.1 degrees vs the 28.5 degrees on the Street Bob.
These are just a few of the differences between the two bikes. If you’ve got more questions about these two call or email me!

I would prefer the comparison based on your test rides rather than a battle of brochures or specs . Please keep them coming .

[@thehdguy378]

Noted! More riding and comparisons based on riding! Thank you.

[@EM-eg3qc]

@@thehdguy378 In addition to that it would be great to get your opinions about selecting the right model based on rider size. Also how do you see one feeling on a particular model ( Comfort / level of control). Here is a random question, how is the feeling of the Road King vs. the Road King Special.? Is the lower shock on the standard a deal breaker? Is the special too bumpy because of the lower shock? Also compare that to the heritage - for around town and touring. Should a 602 240lb. Rider only stick with a touring model in most cases? Nice video skills, especially on the front facing inwards. Thanks, excellent content here!

[@thehdguy378]

@@EM-eg3qc very interesting idea for a video. Would you mind getting into contact with me so I can discuss with you further?

I prefer street bob

[@danpeoples1000]

We have one of each of these2020 model year bikes in our garage, the street bob is just as much or even more fun to ride in my opinion than the Low Rider S. Her bike is a 107 and lacks ABS, that said, the single-disc front brake REALLY is NOT at all a huge difference compared to the dual disc, and I've been in aggressive panic stops with the single disc. The 107 versus 114, not a big difference, her bike hauls arse, obviously, this video is on 2021, 114's. The bottom line - I love and would be completely happy, riding either bike, her bike is actually a little more fun, seems lower, and seems to flick through turns easier for some reason.

[@RuggedRefinement]

Hi there, How does your GT Air II perform on the Low Rider S with the stock windshield? Where does the wind hit you and do you get any buffetting/vibration? Do you need an windshield upgrade with that helmet?

[@MidWesti]

street bob is smaller and lighter all around. smaller/lighter fuel tank, smaller/lighter tires. etc.. minimalistic design equals more seat power for sure. debating between the 2 for hopping around Denver/Boulder area. I love the look of them both! Tough decision here. Thanks for the review. I had a nightster and a forty-eight so i feel like the bob would be the closest upgrade for sure.

[@HJ-sn5gt]

Great video thanks

[@samdelaet3587]

Damn good review. Looking hard at the Low Rider. But the Street Bob is nice too.

Just the exactly video I wanted to see, but sadly the song is so bad I didn't make it past the 27 second mark. It's looks as if the video production value is excellent though.

[@thehdguy378]

Thanks for the feedback! I’m still working on it. It’s difficult to anything other than poppy music or hardcore rap that isn’t copy written!

[@thehdguy378]

Thank you!

[@mikeessary4925]

What would the ride difference be between the larger rear tire vs the smaller rear tire on the street bob? Would it be noticeable? Thanks ! Love the channel

[@thehdguy378]

If you’re tuned in to the bike you’ll definitely notice tire sizes. Whether it’s side wall or width of the tire. I like a 180 overall but the smaller tire on the Street Bob is plenty fun. Slightly less traction from a dig, not as much confidence in high speed corners.

[@mikeessary4925]

Which fairing if any would you put on the low rider s? I enjoy your content!

[@thehdguy378]

Anything Memphis Shades seems to be pretty popular. I personally don’t have a ton of seat time with any fairings so it’s hard for me to speak for them.

[@Iniquityslasher]

The passenger seat for the street bag is rock hard. Anyone riding with a passenger will have to switch that out.

Unless it’s a one night stand and you don’t care about her comfort.

[@stevengodfrey891]

Good comparison... however you didn’t mention the weight difference and the mid controls....

[@thehdguy378]

I’m sure there’s a few more things I missed. They both come with mid controls.

[@pranavchadha84]

Thanks for the video . I’m curious how tall you are because I’m 5 ft 11 and wondering if I’m too tall for the Street Bob already and need to think of a fatboy.

[@thehdguy378]

I’m 5 ft 11 as well. I think the street bob needs a few things but It’s all just my opinion. I love the bike and I’ve owned one. Ask yourself what drives you first off. Are you a flashy guy? If so, then buy what you think looks cool. If you’re purpose driven then buy something built for the long haul. If you’re more interested in going fast then buy a fast bike. After you’ve identified what drives your passion for Harley, then you can start figuring out what is going to get the job done for you in terms of the model! Call me if you need advice on how to determine which way to go. I’ve got a LOT of miles on every bike. 512-426-4735.

[@barrybarnes96]

Can't decide between Slim and LRS.

[@robbyclark6915]

There’s a reason the low rider s is 3k more than the street bob 114. The SB 114 is a more budget option for getting into a well built, super good looking, 114 softail

[@JP-dw1fp]

The S comes standard with ABS. If you add ABS to the Street Bob it's about 2400 dollar difference. It's a tough choice between the two no doubt.

[@blkjakk]

@@JP-dw1fp Actually the ABS option on the Street Bob is $795.

[@jacklund9366]

Can we NOT have the cheesy rap music?🙄

[@BlueCollarRay]

Appreciate the video. But it is totally ridiculous to compare these two bikes. A street bob is just that, a bobber. And in 2022 Harleys made the best version ever. If you’ve been riding Harley Davidson’s for more than a year, and understand the brand and its progression, or if you’re just a fan of old-school retro bikes, you will super appreciate the street bob. If you don’t get it, I understand. These two bikes are for two different things. However both of them will get you laid.

[@thehdguy378]

You can compare literally anything. That’s the point if a comparison. Maybe people without that experience are watching this video to understand these differences. Maybe watch the video bub.
