Harley Davidson Low Rider ST TEST RIDE

[@CoreyGrey]

I love how the bikes have different characteristics now and not just black vs chrome. Even down to the 107 / 114 / 117 engines and the compression ratios / engine characteristics. Lots of variety now. New ceo doing wonders for the brand.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Heck of a good time riding with you bro as always! This bike is the sh@#. Plenty of power and awesome in the twistes. 🤘

[@waferzworld]

Oh and I’ve had the bike for a couple months, took it to numerous events, and not one person has noticed the bags being different sizes. Anyone complaining about that is just looking for something to dislike about the bike instead of admitting they want one 😎

[@jake6618]

Very informative video on the Lowrider ST. I had previously watched her two wheels video on the same bike, and I came away scratching my head, not sure what she was talking about. You did a great job, thank you.

[@pics-by-pete]

seeing doodle on the st. means I can ride with no issues. I'm 5ft6 and most baggers I can ride. I just have problems reaching the kickstand once I sit in the bikes. lol love the black bike more then the Grey one. looks so bad ass.

[@Gabe731]

Great content as always. Could you do a video on the difference between riding standard, like your Yamaha, and riding something like this Harley?

[@BlockheadMoto]

For sure!

[@tchadwiley2581]

It would definitely be awesome to have the availability of this fairing for other models!!! count me in!!

[@chrisblack7226]

I love the all black look on that bike!!! It's so fu****g cool!

[@jasongallagher7646]

Got less than 2 yrs to pull the trigger on a new Harley. So far for me I'm on for the RG special with a few upgrades is at the top. I've yet to test the low rider ST due to the fact there's none to test because of pre sales only. The price point for these is awesome, lots of room for upgrades compared to a RG. I will be following what will happen in the next year or so...

[@CassidyCarson]

I feel so lucky to be able to ride these roads every day! Thanks for the review Block!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Incredible roads, wish we had them in FL! lol

[@mcdgtodd]

I used to have an FXLR! Back in 1987! My first big twin, first Evo! This new FXLR is pretty sweet! A little late for me, I'm not giving up the Road Glide Ultra! I say enjoy those STs, they look amazing and by all the reactions, it's the new it bike!

[@jenniferspeer7597]

Harley needs to let you figure out the retro fit of that fairing. I guarantee a lot of people would buy it! Loved this review ❤️

[@JasonYergin]

Absolutely!! I would be one of the first in line for sure :)

[@KamberBCT]

Great bike but like it was mentioned in the video the different sized bags drive me crazy. They should have made them equal in size and personally I’d like bags Road Glide / Street Glide ST bags on this bike (top opening), a 2:1 exhaust or also split the exhaust on the left and right side and make it a true “mini bagger”.

[@TheEnergizedcinema]

I only noticed it when i saw everyone bitching about it. Then i compared it to the sportglide which i had my eye on for a while. And never realised this bike also has the un even bags.

[@tobins6800]

Nice. Definitely strikes a balance between the "club" fairing and the full on road glide one. One thing you didn't mention is its stability. Handlebar mounted vs frame mounted. Visually it looks like the adaptation of the for types that have been out forever. If they do a dyna or even a sporty with this fairing with a taller ride height, well who knows.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Bike is incredibly stable and smooth, no vibration in bars as fairing is frame mounted. Harley did a great job with this one IMO 👍

[@tobins6800]

@@BlockheadMoto @ $22k too much of stretch in the pocket book.

[@bodog3209]

The sport glide also has two different bag sizes. I seen one at my local dealership.

[@markmcintosh7095]

It took me about 700 miles to get used to the extra weight on the front like you said. I've had at least 20 Harleys over the years and my st has the best stock suspension I've ever had on any Harley. I put the taller windshield on with the Tall Boy seat on and all is good so far. I'm thinking of putting Harleys torque cam in soon. Great bike.

[@High_Desert_Tanner]

Just bought a Road King Special in November, and I'm in love with it... But I'm seriously considering trading in for this lol

[@scoobymoto9858]

Thanks for the bike review! The lowrider st definitely makes the dream list!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks for watching!

[@dominiquetamara1344]

bravo pour ta moto mon ami... congratulations on your bike my friend...

My 2020 Softail compensator kept going out while I was building it. Happy to see this

[@Amir-ie2yz]

Great review. Beautiful bike. I wish the center gauge was bigger tho.

[@andrewporter386]

Get that fairing from HD and see how it fits on the fxlrs ! We want see the conversion

[@Michael-ek8rz]

Thanks for the evaluation on that lowrider St. I am dumbfounded how Harley-Davidson could design this bike and not discover the issue with the exhaust pipes and saddlebag. The smaller saddle bag makes it look like a cartoon.

[@artstar5994]

I think they finally nailed it...(The perfect blend of modern friendly, and old school.)

[@krskadave]

The more I watch this bike via KZbin...the more I want one! Dang nice sled!

[@turtle19dad]

Come on Harley... Would be cool to see a video on the fairing installation on the FXLRS.

[@CScriv22]

I have one of these preordered. Got the call a couple weeks ago it should be in mid May. So I’m expecting it any day now. I appreciate all your videos and I’m getting more excited for my low rider ST!

[@rflowww1775]

I was at my local Harley shop today and saw a 2019 Low Rider S with the new fairing and RF speakers. So yes it can be done.

[@JasonYergin]

I would love to see that. Thanks for sharing

[@trooper6762]

Harley Davidson, I am one of those guys Blockhead said to comment about the faring being an optional part pick. Please do this, thank you.

[@kulfonwspanialy7001]

That stock chimney sounds really good 🫣

[@ChaseJasperDown]

You do a great job at reviews. Great video and thanks for sharing!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks CJD!

[@JohnBraman413]

about time they designed something like this. some folks want a bagger, but not the big ole bulky styles that have been out for so long.

[@davidjpodurgiel7388]

Great review, very informative. I just ordered mine, here in six weeks, traded my ‘17’ LRS.

[@tasteslikeoldbay5743]

I bought a gunship grey FXLRST. LOVE IT. Been waiting for you to review it.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Congrats! Really a great bike

[@thesoftailstable]

Interested to hear your opinion on what its like to get off your 131 and onto a stock bike with stock pipes and mild cam, even though it is a 117.

[@BlockheadMoto]

It's a nice break from a bike that's always trying to kill me 😂

[@thesoftailstable]

@@BlockheadMoto I find it a little underwhelming. We build them with a bad attitude 😎🤣

[@coastaltransplant]

Screw a faring kit… give us an option for same size bags!

[@DanilloMagalhaes]

her 2 wheels comented test riding on that this is the sport glide should've been. but what i like about the sport glide is being able to easely detach the fairing and bags. i think its an amazing platform to mak a crazy stage 2-4 bike without the fairings and bags for daily ride and put them on for some mid-long range travels.

[@cameronbartley6139]

Cool video. I got a 2023 fxlrst my self and I luv it changed alot of things already also. Great bike

[@rxman4453]

Another informative and great vid. Indian guy here but I still luv you Harley vids. Always like to keep an open mind. As long as it has two wheels and a motor I will ride it. lol

[@dextermorgan5056]

Great looking bike and great video...well done Blockhead...again

[@MultipleInterface]

Time for Block to give away Goldzilla and start over again on an ST for himself.

[@tvd1188]

Good review.. I also like to see other youtubers featured in each others channels. Would love to see more of that!

[@joshuaneth4216]

Would be cool if it can fit give riders an option to get that fairing without upgrading to a new bike. Would increase some sales for them in that aspect.

[@JasonYergin]

Exactly.

[@jeremylong6229]

idk im not crazy about the fairing and i really dislike the bags... I think they had the right idea but id buy the regular low rider s and put an aftermarket fairing and bags on if i wanted one

[@Hughj87]

Let this man do a fairing video Harley!

[@miketodd9927]

Adding the fairing to your S is a nice idea. Wait till you look at the MOCO parts list with prices. You'd be better off buying an ST, if you could find on. Like all bikes you have to make it fit you. Good video. Also the video with Bjorn Shuster, great insight.

[@K9RickRet]

What do I think of the Low Rider ST? Ordered one in early April, and was told it was shipping yesterday (5/6)! 🙏 Can’t wait!!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Congrats Rick!

[@kimmarshall6047]

I need a fairing on my 2011 fxdf i’d like a similiar type to the ST

[@mycoolchannel-uj7pl]

Was just looking at one today but would like to get one with the 131 screamin eagle stage 4 (Harley said they cannot put the 135 in it so this is close enough)! It might be a little cramped for taller riders but with my 5'3" height it felt perfect for me. 😉

[@valr484]

Would love to see that fairing video you mentioned your trying to get going. Great video by the way!

[@drsparwaga]

I doubt they would want the fairing to fit the older models because it would lower sales of this one. As far as I remember, they did say it won’t fit the older ones.

[@TimColegate]

Just wanted to ask when we will see some content of the performance bagger? Seen the finished bike and it looks amazing 👏 very excited to see the build process. Keep up the great work and congratulations on all your success 🙌

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks TurboTim! We have footage recorded of it and will be releasing a video on it being built back up!

[@peternorton5648]

That would be very cool if you could add on the fairing to other model low riders. Good review Sir appreciate your honest opinions. I’m not usually a fan of black motorcycles but that bike looks way better than the gray color does imo.

[@andromedach]

Doodle's enthusiasm is great... watched her bagger rides and its always incredible how she rides bikes many are not confident on. All about out look. This is the first Harley I have been interested in since I last owned one in 2018. I never really got it, if you know what I mean. Owned both a Street Glide and Road King back to back. However having come from BMW neither felt all that great; the Road King was a M8 with "issues" but its handling was so much more confident than the 2016 Street Glide. So adding a fairing to a bike that weighs so much less than the tour models should be what I need. Figure the bags were an accounting issue that overrode designers. Also explains away HD being cheap and not having LED turn signals. Seriously HD, what year is it?

[@recmod148]

This is my dream bike man. Order with the sound system, get the biggest engine screamin eagle can put under me, VH exhaust. Done. All through HD. All you need.

[@mariahm.7199]

Love it, but the gauge loss bums me out. I wonder if the fairing will fit older models

[@johnphelps9290]

Just the video I've been waiting for 👍 thanks

[@Patd3163]

personally, i just don't like clamshell bags. what I would be curious to know is if the bigger bags fit on it like the bags on the road king special?

[@K9RickRet]

Bags use a different mounting system….but with a bit of ingenuity….🤔

[@High_Desert_Tanner]

Pretty sure you can get mounts for standard touring hard bags for any Softail models. I think this bike but with standard bags and a 2 into 1 exhaust that will allow them to fit would be perfect...

[@Patd3163]

@@High_Desert_Tanner agreed!

[@mattbroussard7409]

Or what about the bags from the Dyna Switchback!? Weren't they smaller than the touring baggers?

[@HardysHQ]

Yes, with a different exhaust.

[@red.riot.2280]

Really dig it. Hate that the speakers are a add on. And a nicer gauge would have been nice. It works. But my bob has the same one…

[@MATTTHEGREETER]

H-D looked at my YT metrics and ignored me hahah. Thanks for the review man. Bike looks pretty much perfect for what I do! Maybe someday!

[@jonmula8172]

Love these reviews on the new bikes! Thanks for the input

[@Love4boost]

My thoughts are.. it’s $22k! That’s ridiculous. Even for Harley. It’s such a good looking bike, but I’d personally say the Road King is way better of a bike. They also have the Pan Am which is in another realm of better bike. I think my problem when Harley’s are up around $20k, which is most of them. There’s just so many bikes in that price range that are better in every way. So my issue is just price. I love Harley’s. I love mine.. I barely ride it. But it’s a great bike. It’s just not as good as my MT-09 so it doesn’t come out as often. But I do love it.

[@tripeee58]

I was all hyped over the Indian Chief Sport then i watched an Urlacher video and found out how close the comparison was between it and the Lowrider along with it having a gallon bigger tank which is the most important thing to me . Then I watched the Lowrider ST reviews yours included and WOW. Now I have to get in some test rides. I'm coming off an FJR 1300 with a 6.6gallon tank with two bags which can hold a full face in each one! I'm really torn! I'm not riding for anyone but me and don't give a crap about the brand. I want the best bike for the best bang4buck. I'd rather spend my money on FOOD. The lowrider ST is looking very good considering the fact that Harley has dealerships EVERYWHERE! So a 200 mile range and dealers everywhere and Harley fit and finish?? Hmmmmm?? Maybe someone can do a "cost to own" video; maintainence, insurance etc. Best part of the video is Doodle hands down!!! Wow.

[@CandyBarMoto]

It's the same Digital Gauge on a few of there bikes. I love it on my Street Bob. Makes me want to replace the gauges on my RGS to digital

[@jonz5978]

Thank you for reviewing this bike.

[@AlexBaldwin440]

Once I finish payments on my road glide special, I think I'll be looking hard at one of these as a second bike.

I paid my streetglide off in August and I'm thinking about buying one of these too!

@@TheFloridapoolman I did the same and I honestly will never ride the bagger again unless I’m riding over 100 miles out. The ST is a much more fun package

I think HD should release this fairing kit for other models and it will let Block do a how too video as well.

[@shanestaff6307]

It will be interesting to see if next year they make any adjustments a dash like the CVO maybe and stereo as standard and two bags same size with pipes running underneath or similar I will be selling my night train and buying one next year I'm thinking 🤔

[@johniermorales6955]

Sup blockhead, big fan of your test ride videos. Can I just ask that when you do test rides on baggers can you actually open the bags to show a quick look inside them? Thanks bro

[@waferzworld]

I’m absolutely loving mine so far! Great bikes

[@MatoMusic805]

Watching and realized you’re in my hometown

[@Suavecito562]

I like the new fairing, but I think I like the old FXRT fairing better do you think it’ll fit on here without any modifications?

[@leesunga]

According to ML, not sure the 2020s are compatible with the new fairing. Something about how it's mounted, and the rake of the 2022 models being different than that of the 2020 models. Harley was smart in doing that, making sure it's the 2022 you lust after, and not just upgrade your 2020 to match the 2022s. I know I felt the pressure to trade my 2020 FXLRS with a RWD FXRT faring as soon as the first pics of the 2022 fairing leaked. Ended up trading. Feel like a lot of 2020 owners might end up doing the same.

[@mbarr1029]

I hate smaller bags on the high side ( when parked on the kick stand) those are the easiest to access. That is where I carry my beer.

[@williamaskeland2171]

It could definitely use a larger TFT dash (5+ inch).

[@KamberBCT]

Heard at one of the demo rides that may come in 2023 on some of the bikes and possibly this one. Harley didn’t add them to many bikes due to chip availability (again from what I heard).

[@UnTropical]

Yeah they definitely cheap’d out on that

[@vanborg3332]

Yes, agree a large round 5"+ TFT would be perfect. A throw back to the iconic speedo on the 1950's Vincent Black Shadow.

Sport Glide bags exactly the same and is a 2:1 pipe. I didn’t notice even after buying it for awhile. I love my sport glide. Can’t wait to see one in person. Thanks for the video. Would love to know if this fairing would be available as should be able to bolt up to sport glide as well.

[@CandyBarMoto]

Loved my Sport Glide as well... but look up the Paul Yaffe Sharknado Faring. He designed it for the Sport Glide.

[@tommycooker3996]

The aftermarket suppliers will take care of the fairing and the bags-issue. Provided they recognize there is sufficient demand. Just be patient.

[@jeman022004]

That is my concern. I’ve seen taller riders say it is kind of cramped with your knees up past the tank.

[@billthebard805]

The fairing reminds me of the FXRP fairing.

[@JasonYergin]

I started putting together a price list with all the parts and only got about half way through before I had to get back to work doing my actual job 😄 Even though I only did the outer fairing pieces I was already at 1900 dollars and I'm guessing the inner fairing pieces would have added about another $1000. We've all probably heard by now the bags would run 2500-3000 dollars if you pieced them together part by part so... PLEASE somebody give us a better solution. There's a ton of us who want the ST's bags and fairings.

My FXLRST was delivered last week. I love the bike with a few exceptions, and this is coming from an old bastard (50) with shot knees and a cracked tail bone. There are a few things that will definitely be changed ASAP. 1) The mid controls imo suck, mainly because my knees are shot like i stated above. Forward control kit on order (been waiting 2.5 months) Yes, i ordered the kit before i had the bike. I owned a 2020 LRS so i knew what i was getting into. 2) The seat is one hell of an ass killer after about 70 miles. Custom ordered a C&C seat with gel insert (Helps the cracked tail bone part) supposed to be delivered 5/11. 3) I will at some point (probably over the next long Minnesota winter) i will be installing some sort of taller riser, I'm 6 foot and the bars could be a little higher. probably go with the Thrashin Supply 9.5" risers. 4) i ordered the Harley taller wind shield, the wind coming off the stock fairing was hitting me right on top of the helmet. the stock windshield is Not bad, but not great! All in all, once i get the bike dialed in for me, it'll be one fine machine.
