Harley-Davidson Street Bob Softail 107 Review with Vance & Hines Eliminator 300 slip-ons and Stage 1

[@Greatxx1111]

Hi From Canada....really like your reviews...your approach of filming the reviews is the best...showing few riding clips and then talking about it by parking the bike....that's a great thing....

I've had a few Harleys over the years and last had a Street Bob maybe 8 years ago now, I like em. They are much better than people who have never ridden one think.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes we’d agree with that 👍🏼

[@johnDukemaster]

As an X Harley rider (for 20 years 13 years ago) I went in to the dealer for a look at the new Standard, the chromed Street Bob. The salesman said, looking at my streetfighter Honda parked outside the showroom "This bike can brake, cut corners and is quite fruity" Well, with those words at the back of my head I gave it some beans. And I must say, I was quite impressed! Silly handlebar and the bike I tried had that forward feet setup which I don't like. But the engine really revved up easily. I really liked it!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

That’s pretty good! It’s certainly a fun bike to ride!

[@chrissmith7669]

I’m swapping the bars for a more typical pair. I’m not an ape and don’t plan on becoming one any time soon. I’ve seen them with the softail slim bars and it looks much better.

[@jaytouvelle2359]

The best buy is the standard because it's a plain canvas but the Lowrider is the best buy if you don't want to change everything. I bought a brand new 2019 Lowrider with ABS for $13500 out the door. I bet not many people in the world did better than that. Biggs Harley Davidson in San Marcos CA is a great dealership. They saved me thousands of dollars and treated me with respect.

These never caught my eye on the showroom floor but look superb and well proportioned with a rider onboard. Love the spruce colour too, I looked at a Fatboy in that colour but I think it goes better with the black elements on this one. Thanks again guys, bringing great videos to these dull damp days!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Glad you’re enjoying the videos! The fat boy is a great looking bike. The street Bob is for sure one of our favourites

[@ecrusch]

I like that one. Those pipes sound cool and the stage one kit (which I think the bike should come with) is a must straight away. Also, that new mic you're using is very different, but in a good way. With my terrible hearing, it makes hearing the kid much better. That place you guys film at is outta control.

Good review, thanks guys! The Street Bob is a cool looking bike. You know the one other difference from the Standard vs the Street Bob is the lack of a USB port

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. Yes true about the USB.

[@Andy_FXBB]

Don’t forget the fork boots which protect the seals.

[@JefLeFloch]

Ordered my Softail Standard back in June, for a delivery in March 2021 😱 (the joy of living in France) ... and unfortunately under A2 restrictions. At least I’ll have the massive torque going for me. Thanks also for the heads up regarding the kick stand. Other KZbinrs have had their bikes falling over as well. Definitely a problem HD needs to address. Perhaps an aftermarket version exists ?

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

That’s great! I brought this up with Harley Davidson UK and they just said tell your dealership. They couldn’t grasp that it’s a design fault and not an individual issue.

[@timchamberlain6094]

I ran a shovel for 18 years. Every ride was an event! Now been riding an Evo softtail for 13 years and have no urge to buy a new one. Does everything I want. Also, I don't want a go on the new ones because I'll probably want one and then my good lady will give me the stare of death! Women eh, mot the same as normal people :)

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Haha we get you! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@seanmgeorge]

Good review. Nice balance of objective information and subjective results. On the SB, I could not get over the dash and the mid-forward controls. I purchased a 2020 Slim FLSL instead.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. Yes OK I get that. The Slim is nice though 👍🏼👍🏼

[@chrissmith7669]

I’m hoping someone brings out a rear/mid control relocation kit for mine. I would like to mount an old school tach above the digital bits. Something about watching the tach pointer dance when you blip the throttle that gives me a little thrill and at my age you take your thrills where you can get them. Lol

I can't understand why Harley don't offer from the factory mid or forward (or extended forward) controls on each and every Softail? In Australia it's about $1000 to change them on top of an already very expensive bike! To pay $1000 to change them on a Softail Standard is a big % of the new bike price. Seems crazy to me.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes they definitely need to look into this.

[@jaytouvelle2359]

That is the best looking Street Bob I have seen. I like the Lowrider because it has a bigger tank and instruments on the tank. I also am a fan of high quality chrome when done in taste not like the 90's when people put chrome on the fender and everywhere that was overdone

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes agreed. Thanks for your input buddy 👍🏼👍🏼

[@MrAndrew1953]

Very impressive bike for weekend trips & around town. V & H pipes should come standard, give the bike character cred. I'd add a set of Z bars and a second disc. A comfier seat with more padding, support wouldn't go astray. Sport Glide you tested previously is my favourite.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks Andrew. Good points bro 👍🏼

Great video! Do one on the softial slim, would love to see how the riding position stands with you guys.

[@edturnbull8858]

I’ve had my Softail Street Bob for nigh on three years now & it’s probably the nicest & most fun bike I’ve ever owned. I’ve ridden many bikes in the last 40 years (dear Lord where has the time gone?) Japanese & German mostly, but none have put a smile on my face as consistently as the FXBB. My first HD was the Iron 883, which is for many the ‘gateway drug’ & it was a lovely bike, but my local dealer (what an apt description 😄) made me an offer I just couldn’t refuse. Heck, even the missus said I should go for it (& she normally balks when I start looking at a new car or another guitar). So, in conclusion, all I’d say is try one, you might like it. Chin chin 🥃.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Great story! Thanks buddy! 💯

[@mosgor]

When you first look at this type of Harley-Davidson, I think the Softail Standard is the one I would go for. It is as pure as it gets. (on this side of the Sportster series) - But I like the Street Bob. Nice machine.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes I’m inclined to agree. They should have called it the Street Bob Chrome. ‘Standard’ most stupid name ever!

[@Andy-px1mj]

Great vlog again guys. How do you find the power difference compared to a 114? As I said in an earlier vlog, this is the bike for me in the spring. I love it. With a few changes like a front fender it would be perfect. The price is great too.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. The 114 is more meaty and you can feel the extra push but the 107 is nice too and revs easily

[@ardalla535]

got to love how tank capacity is given in liters and fuel efficiency is in miles per gallon. i guess we should be thankful it's not fathoms per fortnight

[@dennism1919]

Hello, lads! I don't know why, but I tend to pass over the Softails, and I shouldn't! Your work here is really putting them in a different light for me. Turns out this Street Bob is a super nice bike. That said, it's a bit knees-up for me. Even watching you, mate, I like how you look on the Heritage much better. That bike fits you very well. You chose wisely there. I prefer that one as well, truth be told. But for someone not as big as us, this is a great option. Anyway, thank you for these great videos. Cheers! And... Happy Holidays everyone.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy! Nice to hear your thoughts. Ditto 👍🏼👍🏼

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

You can get forward controls which may sort the knees up problem 👍🏻

As always, accurate, honest and informative. Any suggestion for those not great brakes?

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy! We’ve not really looked into alternative rear brakes but I’m sure there are upgrades out there

Great and most importantly honest review! I hope to ride one of these beauties home one day, although personally I'd prefer the Softail Standard over the Street Bob because of its black and chrome look. I'd love to see what you guys think of the "regular" Softail Low Rider in an upcoming review, imo that's a really good option compared to the Street Bob/Standard, considering it has the 5 gallon tank and already comes fitted with a two-up seat.

Plus with the higher chance of an accident within the first 2 years of riding I think I would cry my eyes out at the cost of one of these skipping sideways down the country lanes etc 883 iron perfectly good enough as a step in that direction.

Wow really! The 1200 is not as torquey as this but it’s not bad. The Sportsters with the right pipes sound even louder if that’s what you want. Of you get a stage 1 on the sportster it’s pretty lively. The Street Bob is low and long, the Sportsters are a bit shorter and taller (except 48).

@@MusicNTempo after getting many more quotes online it seems prices are fluctuating wildly hour to hour. They seem to get a bit more sensible if the start date is beyond the lockdown so perhaps Covid has something to do with it.

@@stevengodfrey891 great decision! And no flippin modes! lol

The oil that is used on performance filters does not allow water molecules to pass. I have lived in Quebec for 50 years and ridden in snow and rain always with KNfilters and never once had a water problem… Try it and you’ll see. Understand what you’re testing before you tell people what’s what. A lot of people think that but it’s not true. Have a nice day love the page

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks for the info, just going by the information that a Harley-Davidson master tech has informed us but I suppose it depends on the filter.

When did father Christmas swap his slay for a Harley Davidson?🤷‍♂️😁

[@gauravbartola]

Did she come with Harley Security system?

[@Andy_FXBB]

Yes it does but no sound on the 2020, which is stupid if you ask me. I purchased a siren and fitted it myself. Now you get the chirp, and the loud hailing when it’s moved without the fob near it.

Is it reliable enough to serve as a commuter bike on top of the fun rides ?

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Absolutely! 💯

[@kongebilj193]

Im thinking of buy a Harley or a Triumph.. If it be a Triumph i buy a Bonneville Speedmaster 1200cc 2020 model. If its a Harley im not sure, but Sport Glide, Low Rider, or a Street Bob... If i buy a Sport Glide i must change the seat coz its terrible for me. If i buy a Low Rider i need new handle bars, and same with Street Bob... What to choose?

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Not a bad shortlist! Best to sit on them all at least 👍🏼

Where did you get the leather jacket? I have had difficulty finding one with a single belt.

It’s branded as Texpeed. Very good value for money and quality!

[@billbarrett6285]

Since Harley no longer makes the Iron, what so you think of the 2023 Street Bob as a first bike? Are their any accessories for the Street Bob you would highly recommend getting straight away? To be perfectly honest, I really like the Heritage but I don't think it would work out as a first bike.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

The Street Bob is immensely torquey, so you would be better off with a 650 like a Royal Super Meteor or a used Harley Iron 👍🏼

[@juz6434]

Would you fellas recommend this bike, for a first bike? No road experience. Wanting for weekends, day trips, riding around with mates. Thanks guys

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes I think it would be fine. Like any big bike, you’d have to take it easy for a while to get used to it, especially the torque, but it’s no harder to ride than any other big cc bike.

[@juz6434]

@@MrDarcy-OlMan yeah okay thanks. Yeah I’m not looking to hoon around, just want something to cruise with and do day trips. I’m a pretty cautious guy so I’ll definitely take it easy and learn. Thanks again

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

@@juz6434 no problem bro! It’s a very cool bike!

[@chrissmith7669]

I was surprised how easy it was to ride as a returning rider after 15 years of life getting in the way. Doesn’t feel like a big heavy bike at all. I’m thrilled with the 2020 107 I got on clearance, don’t think I’m missing anything not getting the new 114 CI.

Would have been great if you added a few words on comparison between dyna and softail streetbobs. I own dyna steeetbob 2014 and now looking to change considering some softail.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Unfortunately we haven't ridden the Dyna bro!

[@pranavchadha84]

I'm really divided here @MrDarcy&theOl' Man . I'm waiting on the snow to melt in Cologne, Germany so I can head over to HD and buy my first bike in April. I'm excited as hell about the new Street Bob with the 114 engine. The dilemma I'm faced with is that I'm 5ft 11in and have a regular build (unlike Thor in the video) and have a mental block that I will look too big for the bike and need to buy a fat boy or Road King classic. But those two are a good 10k Euro more expensive. Considering I'm going to be doing mostly inner city drives to clear my mind and the occasional 3 hour drive to the Dutch coast on Summer weekends I feel I should go for the Street Bob. What's your view on the dilemma I'm faced with ? Mental block or valid concern.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

The Street Bob would be fine! The Ol Man is 6’3” and you’re the perfect height for it. It’s such a good handling bike as well.

[@pranavchadha84]

Thanks very much !

[@billybob1511]

I'm thinking the same. I actually believe the Orange is the best colour!

[@chrissmith7669]

I’m 5’10” and think the size is absolutely perfect. I feel small on the larger Harley, but on this the proportions feel perfect.

[@TrudleR]

8:10 why does it sound so stupid?? any way to fix that?

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

What’s wrong with it?

[@TrudleR]

@@MrDarcy-OlMan It sounds like an electrical hedge trimmer. I am astonished that so many people love the sound of this bike, it sounds horrible compared to what harley bikes used to sound like... I mean, the exhaust sound is nice, but this other "noise" is killing the whole character of this bike somehow.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

@@TrudleR Really? You can hear the engine internals doing their thing, but that sound pretty good imo

[@fernandomagalhaes2957]

From time to time, since the 2018 models were launched, I feel tempted for a Street Bob, but....a'm affraid that the riding pleasure is so much better than my beloved Royal Enfield Classic 500. The triple of his price doesn't mean the triple of the pleasure. Besides I feel caramped on it and my leg hits the air filter box.. It's a good excuse, isn'it?

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

There’s always temptation making us want something else isn’t there!

hi, i was wondering if this would fit a 5"10 guy, greetings from the Netherlands

[@FreeTimeAdventures]

I am 5' 9" myself and I bought a 2020 street bob in october. The bike is really low, the mids are fairly close it generally fits well. For me the bars are a bit of a stretch but not so much that it's a hindrance while riding.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

@@FreeTimeAdventures 👍🏼💯

[@sportstyle]

At 6 ft it fits perfectly , I am coming from a naked street bike so Street Bob is very comfortable for me. I am siting like on a regular chair. Maybe some previous owners of HD or cruiser style bikes feel cramped because they are used to front foot position , but for me it is very comfortable foot position. Also I have changed the handlebars , a put on 2 inch taller apes than factory so I dont have to reach the bars and I can sit more upright.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

@@sportstyle Thanks for your input bro!

You told us the tank capacity in liters and yet you told us how far it can go in MPG. At least use KPL for this case, or use gallons for the capacity if you wanna use MPG. Otherwise, great video.
