Just wanted to say, hell ya I'm riding today. I'm in Ct, its a bustling 7 deg with the wind chill and I've been out twice today already!!!! My wife and I ride everyday until it snows so bad there is ice..... stay vigilant block crew!!!
dude this bike's look is just 100% on-point. everything you changes made it extremely more beautiful. would have done 100% of what you did if i could. would buy this bike on the spot man!
BLOCKHEAD Haha I know you can’t say what type as it would wreck a video, I was just curious if you liked the stock bars now you have had it for a while? 🍻
Hey Blockhead. You're the only one with vids of the FXDLS that really gets the bike. Others have sissy bars, 13" bars, etc.... You kept yours to align with the spirit of the bike. I just ordered my Radial sweepers and mirror extensions. I'll be selling my V&H High Output 2 into 1 Short. It was a good pipe, sounded like a jackhammer, but I never really felt that it sounded the way a Harley should sound. Hopefully, the Bassani will give me a "more Harley" sound. I'm really disappointed tho that you sold your bike. You had one of the most informative sites for the Low Rider S available. Now, I'll have to rely on others to inspire me. Sure wish you'd buy your FXDLS back. Anyhow, thanks for all the vids for this bike. Really appreciate it.
being air cooled is something you know going in with a harly. at least the new M8's do have the oil coolers to every little bit helps. understand the Daytona strip to the beach ugggh. I live in jax and I go down there too. just the price of living in paradise - florida that is. cool. you will love the new bike.
Greetings from Chicago-thx for sharing the channel and content. A beautiful bike, done right, like a boss blockhead...in my opinion a Nightster on steroids...my dream bike I will own someday...need to find in the used market now. Congrats and best wishes on the FXDR...fans of what you and Ms Blockhead do and ride. Happy Holidays!
I like the mods you made to this. Only thing I would have done different is I would have left the stock shocks. Just personal taste, but I prefer the better ride over looks. Only thing I can say I don't like is the look of the mirror studs sticking up with the extensions. I wouldn't change it though. Would just have to get used to it, because I love the mirrors mounted below.
Do you wear earplugs and if not or yes. Does a loud or louder exhaust bother your riding enjoyment at all. Meaning even if you have fairly loud pipes can you ride for hours without the sound bother your enjoyment??
Looking to buy a 2017 Low Rider S with super low miles. Whats your opinion on the lower rider versus the new softail fat bob, street bob or.slim? I'm kinda all over the place right now,. I love the look of the Low Rider S with the dual gauges and blackout look.
"Almost" as good, haha. Tip on the mirror mount install: Left side, add a small spacer to the front of the extension between the clutch lever part and extension if you don't have enough clearance full tilt left. I had to add a small nylon spacer for it to barely clear the tank.
I had parts ordered for my Roadking before I bought it! And I had stuff showing up from amazon for the wife’s Honda Fury before we picked it up too. Some people can buy a bike and leave it alone... I sometimes envy them. Lol. Japan4!!!!!
You have such a good taste for bikes and bikeparts man... Eventhough I prefer taller suspensions you make your bikes look GREAT!! Could you post a link to your bar bag please?
I sat on a 750 and 500 street and a ten year old 1200 in good shape but all of them felt top heavy and massive in size especially the 1200 , for power to weight. To me ??
Harley victory and Indians are no doubt the best paint colors and quality of the paint and some of the best “ looking” bikes ever made from what I’ve seen. There is no denying that. !!! Mike out.
Hey Blockhead. Tell you what. I have a 2017 Lowrider S that I've bumped up to the 117 and a few other goodies but it's still street reliable. Build that 2019 FXDR however you'd like and let's meet at a track either here where I'm at in Bristol TN or in Florida or somewhere and let's just run them for the hell of it. What do you say? I'm only asking because it broke my heart when you went with the newer Softail and I wanna be the one that makes you regret it. Lol
I love the idea of the Harley Davidson community that comes with the bikes and the idea of buying American more than anything but you really can’t say anything is really made in America anymore but. Hopefully Harley will and kinda has to change their whole outlook on their bikes and looks like they are!! The older guys that were against change and growing with the times are fading away unfortunately so Harley has to change to accommodate the new breed and it slowly looks like they are!!
Block if got the same rear suspension on my bike do you think it's ok to take a passenger with the 10.5 burleys as I'm not to sure scared they bottom out and break something thanks
Not sure, never had a passenger on it. Actually I had Ms. Block on the back once for a short distance, but she's just over 100lbs so not sure if that counts, haha
Blockhead, I enjoy your channel and subbed awhile back. Sorry to see the lowrider S go, but the FXDR is sweet. Any chance you can lead me to where you bought the die cut vinyl custom lettering for the dyna swingarm?
Thank you! The vinyl letter on the swingarm was made by us. Ms. Blockhead is learning the ropes for our vinyl cutter and we might have some bits posted up for sale soon! 👍
Hey Blockhead! (kinda hate sayin that as it seems derogatory. Sorry man). Question about your seat.... the Roland Sands Boss 2-up Seat....how was it for comfort on a long ride? I still have the stock seat and my butt really gets fatigued after a while. What was your experience with this seat on longer rides? Thanks man.
I’m very very bad at getting my exact point across I’m usually trying to be super positive. But people have taken me the wrong way so many times in my life because I never learned good communication skills. I apologize. In the future I’ll probably keep things to a very minimum. Or not at all. Again I apologize and that’s very hard for me to say. Especially twice. Thanks Mike
It’s just a matter of checking out new stuff as the bikes come out and ride them,,, the loud pipes sound great on any bike especially Harley but I still like stock pipes on all bikes practice and training and riding skills to me will always be more important than loud anything tho ! Sorry 😐 I read even on stock pipe bikes if you don’t wear ear plugs you will go deaf from wind , engine noise , and of coarse the louder the pipes are !! Just what I learned 🤙🏻
Must be nice to be able to afford a new 2017 bike then spend a shit load of money on it. Then ride it for a little while and sell it and get an even newer more expensive bike etc etc. Some people or most are lucky to have one bike for entire life time. So enjoy and I hope you don't mind having to go to a job every day just to pay for your stuff. Giving you probably much less time to enjoy what you have. So you are working to live instead of living to work. Good luck:)
Oh for Gods sake man He isn’t spending your f*****g money He is doing what he loves and it’s his life Why the hell is the mood of a good video ruined with this crap Can’t you just let what this channel is about, be?? Damn!
Mike Eger - Based on a few of your previous comments, if you keep up the negativity, you'll be banned. Not worth my effort even, but you've had a few constructive comments previously, so I'll make an attempt. You don't know anything about my financial situation, therefore, you have no credibility and can't preach to me about what you 'think.' Time and a place for negativity, and on this channel, there will never be a time, nor a place for it. So, enjoy the content, or don't, but if you don't, just move along, because any further negative comments preaching to me will be removed and banned. RSSV 👍
@@BlockheadMoto amen block!! anyone who has followed you knows how cautious you are financially. Also imo you have worked hard to be in this position to do this. Personally I'm tired of seeing his comments. Big difference between constructive criticism and bs.. Love what you do for the mc world.
Don’t get me wrong you deserve to spend your hard earned money on what makes you happy. But wouldn’t you like to settle at some point when you have an awesome setup you love. Then make more time ,,, instead of working more to buy more shit,,, and use that extra time to spend with you wife and toys you already have???? Food for thought? Thanks Mike
When I read this comment to Ms. Block and said someone thinks my possessions own me, she laughed and said, "If anything, you're the opposite. You make your possessions work FOR you." "... settle at some point when you have an awesome setup you love." I love *creating* things. I always have, I always will. I went to school and got a degree in it even. I'm sure I'll build a bike at some point that I won't get rid of, but until then, I enjoy time spent in the garage, either by myself, with Ms. Block, or with my friends. Seeing the end product, something that I've put time and effort into to 'make my own,' that's what makes me happy. "Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." - John Lennon

Thank you!

You didn’t mention the tank decals! I need those for my FXDLS!
I want to know also! the gold bar and shield silhouette is nicer than the stock HD decal
#Exclusive #NotForSale haha
Have you decided on bars for the new FXDR? I can’t learn to like the clip on’s they just look weird to me 🤷♂️
TBA!
BLOCKHEAD Haha I know you can’t say what type as it would wreck a video, I was just curious if you liked the stock bars now you have had it for a while? 🍻
@@SkidPig They've definitely grown on me tbh, haha. Few comments in incoming vids on the debate!

Can't get enough of your videos....love em....thx for all the great information you share....
I bought my 17 FXDLS after falling in love with it on your channel. Sad to see yours go.

Hey Blockhead! What kind of bars were you running on your 2017 Low Rider S? Thanks!
Would you say the seat is low profile? I have a saddlemen 2 up right now, but am looking for a seat that sits me lower. Thanks in advance.

that blockhead sticker makes a extra 5 hp lol. hate to see it go too. can't wait to see the next dyna mods🇺🇸✌
Totally felt faster after the Blockhead swingarm decal! 🚀
Good looking FXDLS. I'm kind of in the same boat with my 2016.5 - didn't want to over mod it. It may be going down the road without me soon.
Beautiful bike. Can you link the flush mount caps?
This is an Awesome bike!! 🏆 "Super Nice". Really digging the "Blockhead Style"!!!
I nearly bought one like yours when I got my Fatboy, wish I had. Does the new owner het all the stuff you took off 👍👍😎

Yours looked almost as good as mine!

@@BlockheadMoto thank you so much!! 😎 you deserve them!
Need to build tribute to this iconic bike
hello, what is the brand of your saddle?

Hey Mr. Blockhead that is one sweet bike
Thank you!
Hey Blockhead. Tell you what. I have a 2017 Lowrider S that I've bumped up to the 117 and a few other goodies but it's still street reliable. Build that 2019 FXDR however you'd like and let's meet at a track either here where I'm at in Bristol TN or in Florida or somewhere and let's just run them for the hell of it. What do you say?

You don't have a link for the flush mount gas cap
Do a fat bob build with Orlando Harley
Hey blockhead! I need a link to the bar and shield bronze decal and the right side!!! Thanks in advance 😎🤙
Don't be so sad, the only thing in life that is constant...is change.
I ride a long distance at higher speeds/rpm. Is the 110 up to it with heat being an issue? 117 mod work for the long distance? Thanks.
I love the idea of the Harley Davidson community that comes with the bikes and the idea of buying American more than anything but you really can’t say anything is really made in America anymore but.

I like your bikes a lot I think haven’t ridden Harley yet. Yamaha and Honda only so far but they do look nice 👍
That bike is smooth
No link for the flush mount gas gauge and filler?
Can you send a link to that bar bag please?
Added to description!
where did you get the headlight grille from?
One clean looking bike. You did good man 👍
Thank you! 👊
It's a shame that Harley discontinued this model! Reason being is because I was looking at this motorcycle alongside the Iron 883!
What about the rear fender?
Such a nice bike... hope you'll enjoy your FXDR just as much :)
For sure, already am! :)
Did it come with the 110 cubic inch or did you add it
Block if got the same rear suspension on my bike do you think it's ok to take a passenger with the 10.5 burleys as I'm not to sure scared they bottom out and break something thanks

Love the gold accents
Are going to change your open and out to since it has the lowrider s to fxdr?
For sure, have to change the outro now, haha
Are these stock bars man?
Did you experience any heat from the exhaust on your leg?
Would sure love to know what it sold for.
Cool this Harley 👍👍👍👍👍
I love this bike
Would have loved to see the fxdr and the low rider sitting in front of each other as a comparison
Checkout the Instagram! There's pics of them side by side on there - instagram.com/BlockheadMoto
Didn’t list the link for the flush mount gas cap
They're from H-D 👍
Good looking bike.
Danke!
Does the air filter touch your right leg while riding?
Nope! Not with the slightly forwards mids on the LRS. On the FXDR on the other hand, since it has forward controls, it did.
BLOCKHEAD thanks. I own sport glide with forwards so need to find something thinner. Nice channel by the way ✌️
Looks amazing
Good morning
Excited to see what you can do with the FXDR especially with how limited the build paths can be but you have plenty of support!
Thank you!
Is a good looking bike
Right on brudda
Soooooo when’s the helmet coming off??? Lol love the vids man!
Shes perfect!!
Blockhead won’t like this comment. Seriously tho love the content
(liked)
Прекрасный мотоцикл. He will be mine!
But i like your iron 883
You're late to the party, unless you're talking about the one I'm building and giving away, lol
Yeah.. I am very late but i started watching you video to learn how to ride . The vdo you did with your iron 883. And instantly fall in love with it
Love block
I thought 2016 was the last year the low rider was released as a dyna? Its I. The soft tail family now isn't it?
Nope 2017 I have one. Last year because the 2018 became a soft tail.
Ride safe!!!
FXDR is lame, should have kept that Dyna but hey your blockhead so it makes sense
I’m very very bad at getting my exact point across I’m usually trying to be super positive. But people have taken me the wrong way so many times in my life because I never learned good communication skills. I apologize. In the future I’ll probably keep things to a very minimum.

hey then my apologies to you too bro! Heres to the new FXDR!

How are you

Can anyone recommend a good exhaust that rumbles like a bitch
Dyna's, Not a fan of those
