I had a 21 streetglide and hated it, the wind coverage was horrible, I sold streetglide and bought a FXLRST and it is the best Harley of 33 that I have owned. I do about 3-400 miles every Saturday from twisties to freeway, I love this motorcycle. Doing stage two with woods w22xe next week with tune from fuel moto and then to Trask for dyno.

[@120074]

Great information on this bike, I appreciate the honesty of the review. Riding a 2021 rg Limited and seriously considering the ST, but don’t want to lose the comfort The rg has. Also have a TriGlide that we are using for touring now with the wife. Again you discussed the areas that I would definitely be concerned about.

[@TyFromTennessee]

I do understand about going from a full touring motorcycle to a softail. I would probably have those same concerns. Any time I have a multiple day trip planned I usually take my RG so I get it. Thank you very much for watching!

6'2" tall and this bike is still the best American made motorcycle I have ever owned. 2024 FXLRST forever for me.

[@chuckhanson35]

I had the opportunity to sit on one on our vacation. It wasn't comfortable for me as it didn't have forward controls on the one on the floor as I'm 6'2" . I would have liked to take it for a ride to get a decent opinion but we didn't have time that day. Like your videos!!

It’s a great bike but I’m 6feet tall and the wind hits my helmet for sure, but the worst part is the rider pegs are too high making the seating position cramped.

Wow that surprises me abit your great comments about this Fairing on the ST , Because ive seen & heard lots of ST reviews where the guy test riding the bike complains about this Fairing somewhat 😵‍💫🙈 i guess it all comes down to Your height or seat height maybe 🤔🤔 Everyone has different tastes & opinions hey !

[@justtherightloadofcodswall6515]

Comfort wise, I’m running a Clock Werks 8 1/2 inch windshield. I get zero buffeting but I still get a bit of wind noise. What are you running, and have been able to lessen wind noise??

[@TyFromTennessee]

I think I have the KlockWerks 6 or 6.5, but either way I don't get much wind noise or buffeting. I guess a good helmet to block out the wind would help too. Thank you very much for watching!

[@justtherightloadofcodswall6515]

@@TyFromTennessee May be the problem. I’m running the Bell SRT modular, so it’s not the greatest. Also thinking if I ran a little taller windshield for touring, may be able to create a better rider pocket. I’ve noticed if I move my head quite a bit forward, it mitigates the wind noticeably, but I can’t ride that way!😊 Might have to experiment with a taller windshield for cross country touring or a better helmet!

Your windshield doesn’t seem to be stock. Would you still make the same wind protection comparison to the SG and RG with the stock windshield?

Correct, it's not for me. After owning all sorts of good motorcycles, HD included, I bought an Indian Sport Chief which I love. It has the best of both worlds for me sport and cruiser. Side note iif the original Buell company was still in business and not destroyed by HD I'd still have my '07 Lightning. Cheers.

I hear ya...All that really matters is that you are happy with your motorcycle. I have zero problem with Indian. They make some excellent motorcycles. thank you for watching!

[@JohnnyMan316]

I was on the fence between the Indian Chief Dark Horse and the Low Rider ST having owned only Victory and Indian bikes in the past. I went the other way this time and got the Low Rider ST. It was perfect once I changed to forward controls and switched the handle bars to get them a bit higher and pulled back so I did mot have to lean forward.

[@SkipShean]

My issue with all Low Rider models is they really are configured badly if you are 6’3” like me. My knees were above the top of the gas tank with my feet on the pegs

[@TyFromTennessee]

Oh for sure. I've heard taller riders say those things. Do you think maybe forward controls would help? Thank you for watching!

[@SkipShean]

@@TyFromTennessee I don’t think they can put them far enough forward honestly. I ended up going with a Road King Classic. Plenty of room on that.

Hey Ty, how do you think the LRST would handle a touring passenger (with the right seat and a sissy bar of course)?

[@zkawaz9005]

How would the low rider ST be for riding 2up nothing more then 100 or 200 miles a day

[@TyFromTennessee]

I gotta be totally honest with you here...I don't know. I don't do any 2-up riding since my wife does not ride. Back in Nov 2020 we were in a bad motorcycle accident and she has chosen to stay off the bike. With that being said, I have seen many people ride with passengers on this bike so it most certainly can be done. Sorry, if I was no help on this one but I do appreciate your time.

[@nhzxboi]

My stable: '23 FXLRS and an '06 YZFR1. I tried the ST but was turned off by the added price when I knew I'd be getting rid of the bags anyway. I like Leather Pros better. So essentially I'd have paid $3K just for the fairing. Still, it is very easy to dump $5K+ on basic upgrades. I did cam, exhaust, tuner, seat...on and on and on. I would have done the same to the ST. But, I do the work myself. Add another few $K to have a dealer do it. I'm happy with my FXLRS and it does rip and sound good(S&S475, 2 into 1). However, I'll keep my beloved YZFR1. It is a great bike...just a different bike. The R1 is fun and blows the FXLRS away in terms of speed and agility. They're both fun in their own class.

[@TyFromTennessee]
