Collecting My Dream Harley-Davidson! The Low Rider ST 

I was giving my mate a lift on my sportster and he put his feet down at a junction and demolished the number plate as l drove away!

Best color way if you ask me but I may be a bit bias LOL >.

The local dealer had a LRST Fast Johnnie last year and it was beautiful.... but I couldn't afford it. Love the looks!

Yeah, saw mine at the dealership one month ago, the blue paint with muscle car inspired white stripes is just gorgeous, so I promptly traded in my Sport Glide.

And it's funny but the real Fast Johnny rode mostly Triumphs.... so, good on Harley for recognizing the man and not the brand!

@@Scout4x Fast Johnny is the Wrecking Crew's mascot pig who got the name Fast Johnny because they'd (mostly Weishaar) put him on the tank and take around on victory laps, it's not in reference to human rider. It's also linked to the origination of the term Hog for Harleys. The pig was actually Weishaar's and he named it Johnny when he adopted it.

It’s quite something, the 117 is a beast!

Better budget some $ for a suspension.

@@barrybarnes96 trust me, gonna be doing a good amount of mods on it

Glad to hear that!

The sturgis from the 80’s is mine

Yes a fair bit of buffeting!

Noted!

The 475 whilst a decent cam, it’s hugely outshone by 90% of the other options available. Possibly a good future option if you are looking for power is to look into other offerings

@@callumsmith338 wanted the torque mate, looked at a few, star cams pretty good too 👍👊

I am buying a new Harley Low Rider ST next month and the first modification I am making is changing the pipes and either doin ga stage 1 or 2. I am an older rider and turn 62 next month and do NOT like riding at 100 MPH. But I do love going from 0 to 60 as quickly as possible. Just out of curiosity what pipes did you change and what made you choose stage 2 over stage 1? I do not mind spending money upgrading my bike and just curious how much more torque you get from the stage 2 versus stage 1? My last bike was a heavy Street Glide with the sluggish 88 V-twin so having a 117 engine on a bike that weighs 100 lbs less means the stock engine would probably be enough torque and power for me. But because I am changing the pipes I am going to also do a stage 1 or 2 and not sure which is the better option for me as the money saved could go to a new seat or another accessory I may want. Thanks for any feedback. Safe riding my friend.

Thank you very much!

@@director2bob Im turning 67 this June, personally like 0 to 130 but to each his own, a side from improving on internal components S&S, faster is better but still putts around nicely, everyone goes with a two into one and there are too many to mention, I did probably sacrifice power by going with the Vance and Hines big radius but hey, I'm still getting horse power in the 120's and torque in the 130's I think I can live with that, the cool things about Harleys is that its endless on what you can do and in the end its all about the fun!!

@@billyfinch7341 Happy to hear you are still riding at 67. Makes me feel better about getting back on a bike at aged 62. Thanks for the reply and I wish you safe travels friend.🙏

Many thanks 😊 Here is a link to the gloves made by Fuel 👍🏼 fuelmotorcycles.eu/collections/heritage-gloves/products/rodeo-glove-brown

It’s the low rider S with fairing and bags

I know what it is 😊

Thank you 😊

Yea it’s ridiculous! The UK states you have a minimum of 11mm around the edge of any letters, but otherwise it’s the minimum legal size already! UK nanny State!!

I really want a Cr483 cam but it looks like no where sells it in the uk 🤔

To be honest I would go for the Heritage as you can take off the screen and the bags,the mud guards work property and it looks so cool 😎 (The Ol' Man👍🏼).

The steering geometry is a little steeper than a lot of the Harleys, which gives it more agile handling by comparison.

So close! 😊
