Harley Davidson Street Bob 114 (FXBBS) FULL review and TEST RIDE! 

For life too.

Nice!! Any plans for it??

Same!!! Picked one up 3 days ago absolutely loving this bike

It’s amazing traded my 883 iron for it. And wow I love my bike. Added LED lights all around an a swing arm bag. Avon air grips will be here soon. Ride and stay safe bro

Mine is supposed to get delivered tomorrow, can't wait

Picked mine up yesterday. Haven't even put 30 miles on it yet and now it's raining. FML.

@Tatum Alexzander instablaster =)

@Ty Rocky i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Ty Rocky it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out!

@Tatum Alexzander you are welcome :D

hahaha thats awesome!

I can only imagine being what,two hundred pounds lighter than the Road Glide Special,but still same power plant.Must be amazing.

Exactly!

Thanks, Mark!

Awesome. Which mic are you using?

@@throttleblip9854 I bought a cheap one from Amazon and I am looking for a better one now. What you want to get is a lavalier type microphone with a 3.5 mm jack. Make sure you get the jack that has 2 black stripes on it and not 3 stripes. The 2 stripe one works with the GoPro mic adapter. You have to get the adapter from GoPro and it costs about $50. The problem with the mic adapter is that you have to leave the side cover open while the adapter is plugged in. No big deal unless you are riding in the rain. I am still new to working with these GoPros. You then have to tape all the wires from adapter and microphone to your helmet. Some people recommend using gaffer tape instead of duct tape because it is not as gooey. Also you will want to use a "dead cat" to cover the mic. It looks like a fuzzy ball that cuts out wind noise. Capturing good audio while riding can be a challenge so it is kind of a trial and error thing.

@@throttleblip9854 i would recommend purple panda mic

Thank you!

Can't say I blame you one bit on that one!

Yes that small tank hurts but love the bike

I'd say let it come down to a few things. warranty. If thats important to you, Harley does 2 years and unlimited miles. The 114 can be upgraded to the 131 soooo keep that in mind. haha

Yeah the slim has the lowest seat height of any bike. Bars are also pretty unique. I rode one 160 miles round trip and the seat was awful. I could easily do that trip on the heritage no big deal. Yeah you’re telling me. But I guess that’s life. When I was in high school my dream truck was 40k fully loaded. Same truck today is 75-78k. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nice! Which color did you get??

@@throttleblip9854 I got the all black with orange accents on the tank

@@throttleblip9854 have you guys figured out any tuning options yet or know if hard backs meant for the 18-20 fit? Harley says no but they'll do anything to keep charging me money

Check back on the channel in about an hour, may be dropping a quick video just for you. 😉

@@throttleblip9854 that just got ya a subscription. I'm still pumped. This is my first ever brand new vehicle period. I was gonna get a 2020, but lost my job due to covid. I'd say with that 114, I lucked out

Thanks, Atul!!! Much love.

Exactly what I’m going to try. I’m just worried not only will it block wind but also the engine sound. Not that these stock bikes make much sound anyway but I’d like to capture a little.

@@throttleblip9854 on most videos I feel like you still get a good amount of Engine and Exhaust sound even with the mic inside the helmet.

Same! And there is a new color coming for 2022.

I’ve owned a couple of bikes with no front fairings and honestly my Street Bob 114 is the hardest one to ride long distances if I plan on going over 65mph. I had a 09 Crossbones (similar mini apes) and it was so much smoother to ride. Plus you only have a realistic range of 150 miles with the 3.5 gallon tank. It may feel much better with a front fairing or windscreen but I’m fine with my shorter rides to work for now.

You are right!! I forgot about that. Good catch! Yeah it doesn't need anymore power. I wonder why they didn't do it though? Not like the Street Bob needed it either. Maybe trying to keep cost down on the Slim? Thanks for watching!

Was perfect, it fell off on one of the last videos hahahaha. We gonna get there one day man. lol

Thanks for the positive feedback man! I think a lab mic and deadbeat is my best bet. I'm using the 7 Black and will probably get a second one of those for another angle.

It did not. Someone else pointed that out also. Definitely need to go up a tire size with the 114.

I'm 5'11'' and would def do the 10'' just based on my riding style.

Im 5"11 as well and i'm considering 12in pullback t bars or 10in standard t bars. With the Memphis shade fairing going on its going to look sick. I will say the stock mini apes are actually very comfortable, so new bars are not a huge priority but it's on the list.

My fiance is 6' 4" and can fit on it comfortably lol...jk! I am 5' even and it's an awesome fit for me :)

Mine will be changed out asap. Delivering mine in the morning. Sooo excited!!!

@@dreamer70101 how are the mags, wanna change mines too

source?

Thanks, Jay! Hoping to start doing some cool stuff pretty soon.

That’s awesome!! Big fan of the SB.

Thats a good idea!

Thanks 👍

@@throttleblip9854 WELL DONE CHAMP..

I've never ridden the Indians. I wish I had access to them so I could do some comparison videos.

Thanks man! Are you from Anderson? Also are you still doing motion graphics? Your work looks awesome but noticed you haven't uploaded in a while.

I've been living in Anderson for about a year now. I still do motion graphics, I only stopped posting because I started focusing more on graphic design. I'll be moving towards in March so the next month and a half I'll be a little short on time but I'd like to help you out however I can.

Hey there. Which did you choose?

Hahahahaha that will be the day they lose me!

Is that true?

Would you consider changing the suspension? I've ridden a good big on Ohlins and Legend suspension and the difference over stock is crazy.

@gopro sponser me. lol

Haha we were talking about that at the dealership. Someone would get hurt on that thing! We plan on doing a big motor on a softail but not sure what size or what bike yet. I'm pushing for a 131 on the Fat Bob but someone is voting Street Bob so we will see.. Gotta wait on Harley to make a tuner for us first lol

@@throttleblip9854 that was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw they put the 114 in lol

I'm not against ABS but also not the biggest fan. There may be times I want to lock the rear up and I'd like to think I can avoid it when I don't want to.

Definitely

Nope! I messed that up! I doubt the Slim will ever get the 114. Sadly.

@@throttleblip9854 ohh okay, I thought for a moment that maybe the Canadian model didn't get a 114 and I missed something or was going crazy haha

They just put some nice parts on this bike!

It's never ending lol

Don’t do that to me Sam! I do too! Haha.

I need Gopro to sponsor the channel I’ll just run 11 of them haha

Just the way Harley does model designation.

Buy this one!

Yeah I've heard a lot of people say thats the only fault with the Street Bob is the fuel capacity.

That's a good feeling!

stage 1 is a must on every bike in my opinion. Stage 2 or 3 even better.

I would too.

hahaha and dual disk front brakes lol

And standard issue Converse and flannel.

Yeah we established that several times here. 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️. I doubt the Slim will ever get it, but as you know, I’ve been wrong before. Hahaha

Good to hear...finally. lol

@@throttleblip9854 😆😆😆 Keep in main that whe U accelerats U lean foward thys yohr C. angle drops ! Live Free and Ride...👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍

This will make you feel like you are! haha
