I USED to ride an 2006 Harley Davidson Night Rod. I loved the bike (not so much the riding position), however it made most of its power in the higher RPMs, and I'm used to shifting between 2k-3k RPM so I never got the real power out of it. Long story short, the Night Rod got sold and I went about 8 years without riding a bike, until I got the urge again to ride. I retook the riding course on like a 250cc Honda something. Got my license and decided to go test ride some bikes with my dad (who also rides). I had my eye on the Low Rider ST (with the 117cu" engine). Then I realized I had only ever ridden 2 different bikes in my life, that 250cc Honda and the Night Rod over 8 years previously. So I decided to try out some other bikes, mainly the 107cu" Soft-tail Standard, the 114cu" Street Bob and the 117cu" Low Rider ST. I started on the 107, thinking it would probably be tame and was in the ball park of what I was used to....NOOOPE lol. Almost fell off the bike when I let out on the clutch lol. I adapted quickly and loved the bike, and only enjoyed the bigger bikes even more. I was cackling like a mad man on the Low Rider ST.
They are looking good, be honest I'm just wondering on like 95% of those you didn't even have to come close to tapping rear brake right? just throttle and engine brake brings you down, or youd run out of gear? Idk if its the video or just me i feel like yours look alot higher than mine are but i feel so close to balance point. not there yet unfortunately.
I bought a ermax windshield for my bike it's got a more sport look and its 1 inch taller than this brand. I love the way the ermax shield looks on the bike and it works pretty wellm
Hello my name is Derek lepretre mason, I'm from Edmonton ab, as a cree and a metis with lost treaty rights. I wanna thank you for your video. Be proud of your words, I consider you a brother. Thank u
I just bought one, and I’m 6’1”. Very happy so far. Actually don’t mind the factory seat. Got a small DART fly screen coming and eventually get the Screamin’ Eagle pipes. Cruise control was a necessity
I would have to pay more with no returns to get this in japan. Would you say this is enough comfort for all day 1 week touring? Or better to get a touring bike?
My wife and i both have mt07s and after just getting back from a 3500km round trip i can safely say we both loved every minute of it. We chose as many windimg twisting roads as we could being that thats pretty much what theyre designed for but even the motorway kms we did werent a problem. No wind protection didnt worry either of us at all. I actually live the wind. Different strokes for different folks i guess
I bought this bike as my last bike a year ago and have 13,000 miles on it. I wanted a naked bobber as my last bike and I really wasn't expecting it to be an 1800cc. Wow..... am I surprised that this bike isn't more popular. I've always been a naked bike fan as I really don't consider the rest of the "stuff" to be part of a motorcycle. I always thought that if I was to build a motorcycle it would be very similar to this design. I'm really drawn to the design of this bike. Although new, it just seems so old school. Coming off sport bikes as I'm not older than dirt this thing seems like a bit of a tankasaurus, but there's no doubt that it's very solid and has plenty of juice. I was looking at a stage IV or crate upgrade, but there's really no point other than bragging rights. Maybe if it was in a trike or some behemoth like that as they likely steal some juice out of the 114, but this engine is certainly enough for this frame style.
How do you think a Street Bob would work out as a first bike for a new rider? I'm looking for a bike I can ride for a couple of years at least after I do the MSF Basic Rider course. I've been looking at the Street Bob, Triumph T100, T120, and a couple of other bikes. I'm in he US and I may have to go with the Triumph if the insurance is too high for the Street Bob starting out. I really like the Street Bob but I'm kind of concerned it might not be a good one to start out on.
Still got it. Although I don’t ride as much as I used to so my butt isn’t toughened up, it’s still definitely more comfortable then stock. My wife 100% prefers it over stock. Although if your doing a lot of 2up touring I’d suggest a different bike for sure

If you're trying to fix fiberglass, the best way to fix it is with... Fiberglass 😁. Either clean up the old bracket or get a new one . If you have a sander or grinder clean up the area in any around where the bracket mounts to the base. If it were me id get a the biggest piece of metal, NOT aluminum, and fiberglass it into the base. That way it spreads the load all over the whole seat base instead of just the area its mounted at. Once thats done , you can put layers of Fiberglass Mat all around the bracket. Definitely let it dry a good 48 hours. With the thin piece of metal, along with the glass mat, that bitch aint going anywhere!! Good Luck 👍
Appreciate the tips!! In the future I might have to do this but I ended up having to redrill new bolts which have worked good since I posted this vid. Don’t jinx it though 🤐
Sir, I have a 2021 Storm Fluo. Ive been trying to find either the paint code for the rims or the paint name. Any chance you might know it? I see the red trimming on the corbin seat, im guessing its just plain Red? Hope im making sense. Anyway consider me a subscriber. Greetings from the USA.. Ride Safe my friend.
Sorry man I don’t know the paint code, on the Corbin it’s actually orange. I just winged it on ordering lol. I think thru revzilla you can find the paint code. Appreciate it, you ride safe as well!
That's a beautiful bike !! I just came across your channel in my feed actually and I'm happy to support your efforts and those of other fellow content creators. Keep up the great work and ride safe out there.
Got a 2022 Street Bob. All I changed were the handlebars, went to the Soft tail Slim ones. Much better! An did minor performance work. A tune, and a 2 brothers two into one exaust. Goes like a runaway freight train!
I loved your video, i have a streetbob 2021 done loads of mods, you lost me when you mentioned live wire lol, non sustainable and nothing to do with climate control when you dig deeper. Keep Vlogging man like your tone.
Appreciate the love man!! I had done a demo day and the live wire was wicked. Ain’t gonna pretend battery powered vehicles is the answer to pollution but the livewire was still fun as hell to ride and definitely surprised me. Thanks for watching 🙏
Hey Jay, between August of 2022 and March of 2023 I bought 5 bikes looking for the perfect bike, I ended up with a 1 year 10 month old MT-07 with 1100 miles on it in Icon Blue.
i know this video is a couple of years old... but i also have a mt07 with the same corbin seat. Did you ever get a tail bag or anything you'd recommend for this bike with that seat? Or any soft saddle bags?
