MODIFICATIONS ON MY HARLEY! 2020 Low Rider S Walkaround!

[@SaddleTrampTV]

That's a sweet looking bike. I had to talk myself out of bringing home the 2020 Lowrider S when I did a test video on that bike about a year ago.

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you! Every day I love this bike even more - it's a blast!

[@mikekovacs5392]

And love the Grumpy Old Men clip, that was a laugh out loud moment. Burgess Meredith was awesome in that flick.

[@MotoBlonde]

I loved that movie!!!

[@pelosishammer]

That movie was definitely one of the greats.

[@ChaseJasperDown]

It’s so cool that you can mod a Harley to pretty much whatever you want. I love the mods you’ve done. And I personally like the 2 in 2 exhaust.

[@MotoBlonde]

Definitely! Love how customizable they are! Thanks for watching!

[@ocglide2566]

I like what you have done, the Low Rider is the best of the non-touring bikes they have right now IMO and a blank canvas for modifications.

[@MotoBlonde]

I'm having a blast with it! Thanks for watching!

[@RoyJenkins777]

I had them street sweepers on my last bike and loved them. That area you live in is gorgeous, I visit Hobart for work sometimes . Sweet ride my friend. God Bless

[@MotoBlonde]

Thanks for watching!! It's definitely scenic out here!

[@larrys.3992]

I have a 2018 heritage softail. I put in a screaming eagle stage 2, torque cam. Really makes a difference! Upgrading the ignition as I write this.

[@MotoBlonde]

Nice! I'm daydreaming of a cam!!

[@Motoramblings]

I too loved the Grumpy Old Men clip....maybe because I am one now? Bike looks, and sounds great! Awesome that you can personalize to such detail. Stay warm!

[@MotoBlonde]

Thanks for watching!

[@fredstarnesjr7254]

Great video. I just bought a 21 Low Rider S and will come back to this video for ideas. First I’ve seen this tail light.

[@seang3101]

Love the build. I come to your channel to eye ball new stuff to buy for the streetbob 🤘🏻

[@Magnus0311]

Cam it! I put the Zippers 468 zip kit in mine and I looooove it!

[@travisv.4213]

I am really diggin the Low Rider S. I ride a Yamaha Stryker. Easily keeps up with my father-in-law's Street Glide and I love it. He keeps making comments about getting me on a Harley. Maybe a LR S is in future......we'll see. Ride safe, at least when the snow/ice melts.

[@MotoBlonde]

That's a cool bike too! I'm loving the Low Rider! Thanks for watching!

[@mackdiesel6437]

A cool mod is steel brake lines. It’s also supposed to improve stopping power a bit.

[@red.riot.2280]

100% happy I watched this. I have the same sissy bar(outside mounted). Didn’t think those bags would work with my bar. Now I’ve seen they do! Pumped. Haha.

[@MotoBlonde]

Sweet!!

[@SSLSanDiego]

Is this sissy bar work on Stock signal with out relocating?

[@gunner9010]

This channel makes me want to get a Low Rider S and I'm really digging the new white sand pearl color.

[@MotoBlonde]

I can’t wait to see that color in person.

[@rodneyhanbaum697]

Looking great! Looking forward to see what you do with the cam! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you! Same to you!!

[@RIDE365AZ]

Those pegs look super cool. I bet the boards will give you some more riding positions you can move your legs into on long rides since the fun size legs don’t reach the highway bars.

[@MotoBlonde]

haha - great point!! Can't wait to try them.

[@leandrocosta3453]

Woowww.. your bike are NUTS... You did an excellent job of customization Congrats from Brazil!!!!

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you!

[@BikesBeardsAndBrews]

vance and hines always sound great so great choice, I use the same air cleaner on my RGS. You send the bolts out and powder coat them purple!

[@MotoBlonde]

Oh shoot that would be pretty sweet!!!

Love the moto bars and bark busters/ hand guards

[@keithparr8880]

Definitely made it Yours Heather, I just finished putting in a torque cam and tuned it, looks like I need that step up for my Fatbob, wish it was March to get out and ride, the snow up there is serious.

[@MotoBlonde]

Nice! Hopefully the winter is short! Man I'm really thinking about a cam!

[@TechAndTires]

I've got the V&H Big Radius on my Low Rider too, up in the Adirondacks. They're not the best performing pipes as you said but I absolutely adore the sound. They're not race bikes anyways, haha! Keep riding!

[@MotoBlonde]

Right on! Thanks for watching neighbor!

[@TechAndTires]

@@MotoBlonde hell yeah!

[@GoodLifeRiders]

Fresh outta beer? That’s not good! Love all the insulation just waiting to go in the roof. That’s a lot of ding dang snow. Love the black out look of the bike. Did you have the bike tuned at the dealer on a dyno? “Fun sized” that’s funny! I really like the purple accent.

[@MotoBlonde]

hahaha I love that movie! I didn't have it on a dyne - One day if I do any more upgrades I will!

[@shane8493]

Those pipes are perfect for the low rider S. If you cam it though, you probably already they will actually hinder the cam. Your bike setup is awesome. Hope you & your family have a Blessed Christmas

[@MotoBlonde]

Ahh the mind struggle lol!! Thank you so much! You and yours as well!

[@paulobrien8600]

Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 I love this bike and what you have done to it, what an amazing Job. Im trying to decide on a LR S 2022 in 117 or the 114 Breakout. These bikes seem to get so many good reviews.

[@moto-mantis]

Great walk around! I have the FLO MX pegs. They are very similar, however they are solid one piece construction. I like flat pegs better. There is no pressure in the center of your foot like round pegs. I almost always wear boots, but if you take long ride in tennis shoes, flat pegs are way more comfortable than round pegs. Also the stability spikes keep your feet from moving or slipping during aggressive riding. FLO doesn't make M8 passenger pegs (or they didn't at the time I was looking), so I installed Crossthread MX passenger pegs, since they pretty much match the FLOs.

[@MotoBlonde]

I definitely like how the pegs hold you in - I did notice that with the sole on my boots, they are a little harder to move when I need to - thinking I may need ones without the spikes. Time will tell! The FLO pegs look great too!

[@bap2139]

happy to see those 2 into 2's!! we're a dying breed!

[@MotoBlonde]

Can't beat the sound!!!

[@jimibones178]

Thats a nice looking bike. I just put the 128 kit on my 19' street bob. Its mean af

I literally could of rode my harley all this time cause of the no snow here...it snowed a big storm in late october n winterized it n put it away...then boom clear skys😂

[@Renigirl35]

Love what you done to it! Love that exhaust, exact ones I’m getting for mine. Got a lot of great ideas, same taste as yours, so glad I came across this video. I have the 2020 Low rider now but trading it in for the 2021 Low rider S midnight crimson then I will spend $$ doing all those upgrades 🤗

[@MotoBlonde]

Awesome!! Enjoy the new bike!!

[@texasfedtexasbred1803]

Siiick! I have the same pipes but removed the baffles and put Big City Baffles in em! By any chance, do you know if you can add passenger pegs with the Big Radius?

[@Gobbles420]

Cool video. Like seeing what you did with your low rider. It’s an awesome bike I just bought a 2021. I feel your pain as I live in CO. I’ve learned 35 isn’t so bad cause as soon as the driveway melted off I went. Love seeing gals with multiple bikes. I have 3.

[@MotoBlonde]

Congrats on the new bike!!! I'm hoping it rains for a few days here to wash the roads off - they're a MESS - I don't care how cold it is I'll be out as soon as it rains haha!

[@Gobbles420]

@@MotoBlonde Thank you. I’m one of those gals who rode behind my mom and 34 years later I bought my first Harley a beautiful deluxe that’s getting an engine upgrade from an 88 to a 95. Then a month later a bought a sporty then two weeks later I bought a 2020 street bob w a stage one upgrade Oh that street bob is awesome. Then the new bikes came out and all I could do is stare at the new 114 low rider and the new bob. Tested rode both kept the bob traded in the sporty for the low rider S. What a ride. I too am a short at 5’2” with short legs long upper body. They sure have awesome things you do when your short. Now I just have to fix the pathetic sound of my low rider before spring. I love my girls and what it’s done for soul.

[@MotoBlonde]

@@Gobbles420 Very cool story!! Congrats on the new bike! The FIRST thing I did was change the exhaust - what a difference!!!

[@jesslivingg]

How much would you say you put into the bike total for all the mods you’ve done in this video? Just picked up a Lowrider S earlier today and swapped the turn signals and put a Saddlemen before leaving the dealership.

@@MotoBlonde A buddy of mine from NY (Frank) He turned me onto you because he recently bought a new Low S just like yours and he's always telling me about your channel. Thank you for writing back. keep up the good content.

[@Crowbar381]

For safety.. Triple check that the bung king highway bar isn’t scraping before the new foot pegs do. Easiest way to know that for 100% sure is to get someone to help you tilt the bike over. You really want the foot pegs to touch before the bar does I changed my stock pegs to Biltwell mushman only to then discover the highway bar scraped before the pegs did. Not good IMO 😱 So I removed the Delrin sliders from the bung king highway bar. Now if my foot pegs do scrape, I have about 1.5” clearance between the ends of highway bar and the road. Good to check for your own peace of mind

Good sounding Vance & Hines. Goes well with your mods 👍🏽 Which helps the most with your arm's reach, Saddleman's seat or the Bung King riser w/ pull back? I'm "fun size" with T-rex arms too.

[@MotoBlonde]

To be honest, I did the seat and the risers at the same time - I think the combination was definitely necessary for me - they both made a HUGE difference. I can't see going without either.

[@HARMARSCH2]

Merry Christmas Moto Blonde and The Family!!

[@MotoBlonde]

Same to you!! Have a wonderful holiday!

[@MrTraewilliams]

I say it over and over your bike is a stunner and I think part of it might be the stock bars on the 8" risers and it not having that t-bar look plus your sissy bar is bad ass. And when you referred to yourself as "fun size" you killed me 🤣🤣🤣

Hi Heather, like your mods.I went to stage 1 also. But I had Harley do all the work. So I don't void out my warranty. That FP3 tuner not sure if it voids your warranty or not?

Hey lady... just a crazy questions about warranty... did you have any need to keep your warranty intact with the low rider or jus say to hell with it and jump into the full exhaust change out? I'm on the fence with mine, do I wait and just do a muffler to give me a it better sound or say piss on the engine warrant and go full change out. Your thoughts??

[@MotoBlonde]

Talk to your dealer - from what I understand most of them don't void the warranty unless you tune it with something other than the HD tuner - so you could probably do pipes/air and get the HD tune and still under warranty! Check with them for sure!
