First ride on my NEW 2017 Dyna Lowrider S

My first ride out on the Dyna Lowrider S. Still can't believe i've got the bike i've wanted so badly.
I talk through my thoughts on the bike such as how it rides etc. Go through my insurance costs for the bike and other additions to the Lowrider S that I will be bolting on.
The 2017 Dyna Lowrider S is an amazing bike and I feel this will be a historical bike for HD and a well sought after model in the future as they are only in production for 2 years.
Big thanks to the team at Shaw Harley Davidson who have supported me from day 1. And a big thanks to Russel at RB Kustom who did a great job customising Goldie for me - cheers buddy.

Pipes asap! Grats man 👍🏼

[@Motonewbrider]

BLOCKHEAD lol you know I'm in onto this fella 👍

[@MakoVette]

Be grateful you don't have the same exhaust system laws that we do here in Kalifornistan - Slip-ons only here, we're not allowed to touch the pipes with the catalytic converter under pain of death by fines.

[@thumbdowner68]

Mako Vette : couldnt you just take the bike to Arizona for registration ?

[@MakoVette]

Nevada is closer to us here in Nor-Cal, so yeah, I could but... Out of state plates + Cali drivers license combo gets the stink eye from Officer Bob. Making a "donation" to the state ticket revenue fund is not my idea of a good time, so I dunno...

[@84MadHatter]

move to a Free state

[@bigleemac]

Nice, test rode one yesterday, loved the engine, the tacho and indicator lights were annoying but still I had a lot of fun on the bike, amazingly quite easy to ride and handle.

[@brad_Ca]

Such an enjoyable video, thanks for sharing. Enjoy your new ride and stay safe.

[@Motonewbrider]

Cheers Brad.

[@AdjrianNickelodeon]

Well done on the Lowrider s. What an amazing machine indeed!

[@Motonewbrider]

AdjrianNickelodeon I'm not gonna lie you're my KZbin moto vlogger hero 👍

[@PkwyDrive13]

I just traded my 2017 iron 883 in Friday for a 2016 dyna lowrider S. It is definitely a beast after only riding an 883! It already came with everything, bassani RR3, 13in T-bars, rogue rider LEDS, day maker, saddlemen step up and sissy bar.

[@MadDog-65]

Really worth it upgrading to the 117ci makes all the difference!! You’ll love it.

[@sylentmyst]

Just bought mine yesterday in the U.S.! I completely agree that it is very difficult to fight the urge to do full throttle. Congrats and ride safe man!!

[@Motonewbrider]

Congratulations buddy! It's super tough

[@darkoflight4938]

Absolutely great bike, congrats and good luck with it.

[@Motonewbrider]

Thank-you!

[@garethoconnor9530]

I'm so jealous, I've wanted that bike for a while. Glad you're not going to be changing that West coast look too much either!

[@brizi2003]

Fantastic - its a great bike - I test drove one last year. Love your videos its nice to see the progress and enthusiasm of a new rider (after 30 years myself!) Tip for run in - don't run too low engine revs either!!

[@Motonewbrider]

Cheers Brian, appreciate the kind words :)... Yeah I try to keep it above 2,100 and no higher than 3,000. Thanks for the tip though.

[@Yama_Apri_521]

Great choice dude. It rained when I picked my LRS up too... 💁‍♂️ I absolutely get where you're coming from with modding it. I have done the flush mount fuel cap and gauge and exhaust (a V&H 2-2) and that's about it. I didn't really like the wheel colour, but as you say, it's an LRS and that's that. As a limited edition, and as a special bike in its own right, it seemed right to keep the descents of the bike stock. A daymaker and black wrap on the upper part of the forks has made the front look more muscular and I've actually removed the fairing and added a chin spoiler; which again has added to the muscular look (IMHO). The bike is truly amazing, and although I'm now selling it I have loved every single mile on this beautiful machine. Safe riding! Ed, Kent.

[@Motonewbrider]

Thanks Ed, sounds like you have taken it on a journey buddy.

[@marcanthonystorm]

It's a great bike I purchased the Harley Davidson Lowrider S a few months ago and made some modifications which include the flush mounted gas cap and fuel gauge along with the TBR exhaust which can be seen on a video I posted on my channel good luck with your new bike.

[@Motonewbrider]

Thanks fella, noticed that you had subscribed.

[@marcanthonystorm]

Motonewbrider thank you. You played a big role in me getting it. You gave such a positive review a few months back and it helped me make the decision. Thank you.

[@tonymartin3780]

Look great Mark, no need to change it that much , just enjoy , ride safe

[@Motonewbrider]

Thanks Tony and agree mate.

[@DarioCruz92]

Take care of her, Newb. Not only are you riding the best Dyna ever made, she's also a collectable. The '17 S and CVO models are the last 110 c.i. twin cam that will ever be made. With that said, we still don't believe your keeping her even mildly stock. Be honest - on the ride home, you were already thinking how quickly you can install all the mods you're going to do, weren't you? :-) Also, how you kept from going bonkers waiting for your bike is beyond me. As you probably know, here in the States, the bike you test ride is the one you buy and take home, usually that same day. Anyway, thanks for sharing and I look forward to watching your further adventures with that cruise missile. Ride safe, bud.

[@Motonewbrider]

Brilliant - Totally agree Dario, I believe this bike is a "good" slice of HD history. I think i'll go as far as the 117 conversion with the team at Shaws. We've discussed this option already for Winter mods. I guess the good side about not having all the mods straight away is that you get to appreciate the bike more when they go on - however you're absolutely spot on I wanted the mods on NOW. Hope you enjoy the adventure mate with me :)

[@geoffozevans4500]

Bike looks lovely, my Fatboy Lo Special is all black like yours so when the stage 1 was done I opted for the chrome V & H Big Radius 2/2, to break it up a bit.I worry also about swirls on the paint & I got a couple of Meguiars productss ie "Swirl X" swirl remover -- bloody excellent, & so easy to do, also bought Meguiars Scratch X 20 to use later in case of somethimg deeper. When you see these swirls it's only the clear coat that is affected, even dust scratches clear cost so worth investing in a proper paint polisher (variable speed) easy to use & cut hrs off general detailing. Enjoy your weekend 🖒😎

[@Motonewbrider]

Geoff thanks for the advice, really appreciate that (coming from a NEWB).

[@rainbowhiker]

Love your bike.

[@simongoddard8490]

Cleaning? ACF50, all you will ever need. Everything but seat and discs. Superb on black crinkle finish and black paint.

[@mikeessary7691]

Dude love your excitement. Do you ever ride post work out? No better feeling. Depression has no chance with that formula for me.

[@slyguyaction]

Such a great bike. Be sure to ditch that dingy yellow halogen headlight for a LED DayMaker. You'll never go back. Ride safe bud!

[@Motonewbrider]

They should of put this in the S model from stock.. GGrrrrrrrr :)

[@JDM_DAISUKI]

Congrats on the new bike

[@Motonewbrider]

Thanks buddy.

[@tombowater2589]

New Sub! Loving the vids. Looking at getting my first Harley in the next few month's. I've rode a wide range of bikes before. Any recommendations or should i just test ride the lot :P

[@zxjockey]

Great video; I picked my LRS up a couple months ago and love it! Those gloves you're wearing look cool; whose are they?

[@Sunbear415]

Splendid motorbike!

[@soheilfourriere7012]

Congratulation man enjoy

[@mopar21]

American muscle swimming across the pond. Love it!

[@HarleyDayRider]

The bike looks great and the upgrades will be cool. You might want to put a set of Short Shots on the bike to make it a little louder. Ride Safe

[@Motonewbrider]

Hey fella, Ive got a set of V&H 2-1 comp exhaust coming so that should bring the bike to life.

[@coolsterful]

Love my 48. But going to try a low rider now.

[@mixalis6168]

Great choice, D&D bobcat exhaust would look killer

[@Motonewbrider]

Thanks buddy.

[@cabritafx]

love it mate!

[@Motonewbrider]

Mate! How are you? Haven't seen you in ages

[@donteharris2967]

Adjust the suspension to your weight as described in the owner's manual and you'll be really impressed with the handling of the bike. I love my FXDLS. Just hit 1,000 miles with 2 months of ownership

[@Motonewbrider]

Awesome mate thanks for the heads up on that - need to do this before I hit the roads of France this weekend.

[@brianreid366]

I realise that not every bike suits every one and the Low rider S was just not for me. as soon as I sat on the bike it felt weird with my arse low and my knees in the air and all I could see was the handlebars, after two hours My arse was on fire with the heat. Every round about I scraped the pegs and my clutch hand was killing me after a while in traffic. The engine and brakes were superb but if I wanted that kind of performance and better handling I would get a ducati for half the price. I was glad to get back on my Fatbob as its so comfortable and I can ride it all day long, sure the fat bob is not perfect but it feels more like a harley and really good at everything now bear in mind Ive owned sports bikes most of my 40 years biking life and I do like my speed and handling but I cant wait to get my bike out any chance I get, in six month Ive done 5000 mile and the fat bob is just getting better and better.

[@BFD15i]

Regarding the speedometer: I installed a motoscope mini from moto gadget in the 'bonnet' in front. I didn't care about rpm, but I wanted to see how fast I am going, without looking down as much. That helped pretty good.

[@Motonewbrider]

Thanks for the tip fella - will look into that.

[@SOUNDWAVE98]

Can you still get the 2k17 lowrider S? They are so beautiful

[@billmercier1376]

Congrats! I have the same bike! What adjustments or mods have to be made to accommodate the 180 rear tire?

[@Motonewbrider]

Hi Bill, I'm going to make a vlog of it fella - however it's not that much of a ball ache to be fair. Should be completed in another week

[@billmercier1376]

Great. Looking forward to it. Keep up the great vids and all the best with the new bike!

[@prometheus5311]

Congrats, good choice! What's the deal with insurance in the uk? I pay 260€ in total for my fxdbc 103.

[@Motonewbrider]

Gosh that's a difficult questions to answer spot on, I know a chap who's paying £800 on a 96 and another that's paying £800 + on the lowrider S. My insurance wasn't to bad considering. But age has a greater bearing on the insurance vs a NCB (no claims bonus).

[@chaztheman8674]

At 0.23 you can see the no. plate, looks gorgeous

[@mohammedabbasdar]

ChazTheMan 867 also at 1:46 lol but who cares! What a super phenomenal bike!

[@mohammedabbasdar]

Mate! Seriously... well done! This bike is a beast! I've had the privilege of riding multiple times but I just simply couldn't afford it. I'm happy with my Iron for at least a few years and then we'll see what Harley offers then for when it's time to upgrade! Nice one mate and enjoy thoroughly! Safe riding! 🤘🏻🤙🏻👊🏻🔥🏍

[@Motonewbrider]

ChazTheMan 867 lol 😂... thanks for pointing it out - ha

[@DurdenTyler21]

Sir Motonewb! i have a question about exhaust for you. How do you feel about the Vance and Hines Short shots?i see you have had the grenades, however i would love a pair of Short Shots on my 48! Did you like the short shots or were they overwhelmingly loud?

[@DurdenTyler21]

i probably should have added that i have seen your videos reviewing bikes with Short Shots and you ran with a few boys that had short shots on their 48!

[@Motonewbrider]

Hi fella, Shorts shots are ok, I find them very "popp" rather than a deep throaty tone which i prefer. I ran short shots on my first sportster iron and that was super loud. The mini grenades may be a good shout though and not to common (at the moment) - they've just been released in the UK via Vance & Hines.

[@johnobrien6315]

A 114 kit would be quite an upgrade! Fasten your seat belt though!

[@Motonewbrider]

117 next for this bike fella :)

[@davidravo6247]

I want an S. Could you go 250 miles a day on it for about 3 days. Would you take it on a trip like that.

[@harryburnett7086]

Congrats BTW can you do a Dyna Wide Glide review

[@Motonewbrider]

the 2018 models will be coming out soon so the boys at Shaws are getting the range sorted for me asap as soon as they land in the showroom.

[@Cyril_Harperink_87]

I am so jealous 😛

[@motomoose4584]

What was your reason for getting rid of the 48 (Goldie)... just bought one as my first Harley, test rode one today and then singed my life away with a smile on my face?? Your opinion does matter and thoughts and advice, cheers and ride safe bro

[@Motonewbrider]

Moto Moose hey fella! Congrats on the purchase. My main reason was due to the FXDLS being one of those bikes that ticked all the boxes for me. I am now riding longer distances and I'm planning on doing more long europe trips. At the same time I can fling this about just like the sportster. If you ever see me buying a Road King then you know I've lost the plot ( lol )

[@motomoose4584]

Motonewbrider cheers for the reply pal.... I'm sure I'll get like that on my Harley journey, enjoy, ride safe and if your ever in the northwest area around Liverpool Manchester etc let me know and we'll braapp about, enjoy the lowrider 👍🏻

[@jgbecker24]

So here in the states, the left lane is considered the "fast" lane on the interstates. If you're going slower than the traffic coming up behind you, you should get out of the way. Is it the opposite for you all in the UK? Is the right lane considered the "fast" lane or is that not a thing? Forgive the ignorance.

[@geoffozevans4500]

No worries, were all here to help each other. Have a look at Delboys Garage (KZbin) one hell of a spanner man & had a lot of Harley Davidson vlogs, especially servicing, one of the best out there 🖒😎

[@slyguyaction]

What brand/model gloves are those? I dig em

[@Motonewbrider]

Roland Sands Design.

[@jefftilghman9059]

I understand some of your lingo, but would you elaborate on what you mean buy the "brakes are a bit poni"? I am from across the pond. 05-16-18: would you please explain what you mean by "the brakes are a bit PONI"?

[@slippyu1]

nice

[@davidjames3985]

have you heard about the 'hard breaking in'? you think its complete BS? the best out there, I remember a video with some guy called jake the snake if I remember correctly he made a couple of preaty reasonable points, apparently he is a pro mechanic as well and should give hims at least some credibility. He doesn´t say anything super crazy btw, just argues that giving it some full throtle from once in a while for short periods of time going throug all the gear box in theory can make the cilinder rings (for exemple, he maes another points) seal better and he shows a couple of dino run slides.

[@Motonewbrider]

Yeah I've watched a couple of his vlogs - he's a massive Harley fan (LOL). TBH I just stick to the owners manual, he could be spot on but I need to follow the rules as I've had a major warranty claim before and it's not worth the hassle.

[@BigMoeFo]

You think you could of bought this as your first bike or do you think that this was part of natural progression ?... when I went to buy my Sportster the dealer actually said to me if I return it after 6 months for a bigger bike he'll trade it for what I paid for it....

[@Motonewbrider]

No chance mate for that money - I started with the sportster iron as it was financially (for me) an acceptable risk to see whether I would really get into riding. I think it's a journey most will take, ideally I would of loved to have both but in the same breath I would say what's the point of having two bikes that deliver the same job.

[@dahijitna]

enjoy M8, stay safe

[@kirk9899]

Have you heard if this is the last year for the Lowrider S?

[@Motonewbrider]

That's the reason why I bought it now fella otherwise I would of waited.

[@951gj]

Ah it's far too quiet! Lovely bike though buddy

[@Motonewbrider]

That will be changing (soon).

[@pijustatoris8283]

This motorcycle is automatic or manual?

[@MakoVette]

Every pound spent on tarting things up delays the inevitable 117" engine kit install, just sayin' ;-P Please do link/post up the parts needed to put the 180 tire on the back end, suspect they will be similar to the Fat Bob's bits, but can't beat a "here's what works" list from someone who's actually done the change.

[@Motonewbrider]

LOL - totally agree buddy. Will do mate - I'm also filming the install as well.

[@MakoVette]

Excellent in all regards, thanks for doing that for us! I'm running the stock tires until they are done, I don't have the wallet to throw at new tires/wheels for the sake of new tires right now, too many other priorities/money sinks on the bike to tend to first. I replaced the weak sauce headlight with a MoonSMC Moonmaker LED lamp this past weekend. It works a trick and was well worth the (for a Harley) modest expense. You planning on an LED setup for your bike? The tight UK roads would be a lot safer with a better lighting solution.

[@mattlad6935]

Bye Goldie 😢

[@Motonewbrider]

loved this comment :)

[@johnnywhite5003]

your footpegs look my joker machine pegs that are on my fxr.

[@chunkyfxdls1878]

Your side mounted plate isn't stock is it??

[@Motonewbrider]

It's just a side mounted plate - not worth mentioning really.

[@chunkyfxdls1878]

Motonewbrider I was wondering where you got it?? The HD one I put on mine looks shit so I have a 7x5 where the stock mount was which looks ok. Yours is the look I was looking for 😃

[@chunkyfxdls1878]

Motonewbrider Oh and are you getting the 2 into 1 Comp I have the brushed steel one had to get it after your test ride last year..... Suits the Low Rider S I think and sounds ferocious!!

[@OrmagodonHimself]

You wouldn’t happen to know how much bhp the Low Rider S actually has? Literally can’t find the numbers anywhere!

[@davesurrey5889]

i guess that means no more sportster sickness for you

[@Motonewbrider]

Mate to be fair I haven't done much with SSUK in a long time. Loads of local meets in the area with the boys and girls so I'm spoilt for choice.

[@JDM_DAISUKI]

"Feels"

[@Vi.p7]

The old one i want to byet from you

[@stevebanfield7922]

cut your baffles out. i did on my S and the shotguns sound wicked

[@Motonewbrider]

Getting a set of V&H 2-1 mate - should sound wicked.

[@daviddesmet3638]

@stevebanfield7922 Did you remap after you cut down your baffles

[@pedromiguel480]

don´t paint the wheels

[@michealantisdel5912]

Should have just added the lrs to the stable and kept goldie just for the sportster sickness rides.

[@Motonewbrider]

Mate tbh their are so many rideouts locally with the guys that i'm spoilt for choice.

[@j.ramone4116]

some people are never happy.changing stuff already wtf

[@Motonewbrider]

I'm always happy mate, the S was/is the bike i've always wanted. If they would of continued producing it I wouldn't of bought it now.

[@RedCrowhop]

Wow, not one but TWO well known, knowledgeable KZbinr bikers who bought DYNAS. Cause according to the HD " experts" , no one ever bought Dynas which is why they killed them.Because they DONT SELL, and yet here are two bought back to back.I smell a f*cking rat. I loved the Dynas and was about ready to get one but i aint buying that Softail 2018 crap, sorry.

[@tofu2015]

Wie kannman nur von einer 48 auf solch ein anfänger, möchtegern harleyfahrer möpi umsteigen?das geht nun gar nicht. Schade
