ST all day
I ride the ST and LOOOOOVVVVEEEEEE it
I bought an ST so I’m biased but can’t beat having bags and wind protection
ST and I would totally switch to BaggerBro’s dual gauge set up. I HATE that single digital gauge and I hate not having a tach.
Loveee my ST
My first bike was a 2020 Iron 1200, A few months into riding I came across this channel and fell in love with the Low Rider S. Fast forward three years later and I picked up my dream bike, the 2022 Low Rider S in Gunship Grey and have not regretted it once!
I bought the st. I've ridden a s. The reason I bought the st was because I got saddlebags and fairing for about $2000 more. It seemed like a good deal. And then I learned the saddlebags don't hold much and now I want leather pros. And the fairing works ok but now I want the fxrt fairing because it offers more wind protection and you can add an infotainment unit and speakers. That's about another $4000 so yeah. If I had it to do over again, knowing what I know now, I'd get the S and build the bike I want.........like I'ma do now for $6000 more instead of $4000. 😊
That’s what I did with my S, leather pros and FXRp fairing
@@supersteve7302what faring did you go with? I’m in the market for 2023 low rider S faring
@@cusaris6185 I went with the Klock werks fairing. I think it comes with the best hardware and there is no trimming the fairing, it’s already made for your specific bike
Awesome review, thanks. The Advanblack ST fairing balances things out here to me. Both are awesome options now depending on what gauges and bags you prefer.
Crazy how tastes vary. I'm so into the FXLRS clubstyle. Cool video looking forward to your buds build.
I started with a 2020 Lowrider S. Im on a 2023 ST now. I love it.
How is the wind in comparison?
The sales guy at Harley told me the st is easier to maneuver. Is that accurate?
"I could have tea and crumpets right now" - killing me. Great comparison video. I'd lean towards the ST, but I want gauges and the top loading bags, hate the clamshell style and offset.
I love my Low Rider ST. I didn’t want a touring frame bike and I didn’t want to carry a backpack. This was the absolute perfect in between for me.
Good to see Bertini back on the channel. My choice would be whatever Michael chooses after the build is done.
Plan on doing this same seat time comparison next spring so this video just confirmed that I need to get on both of these bikes.
Great seeing Bertini back on the channel and looking for his next bike build. I had a 2020 fxlrs and I totally agree with you Michael about the gauge. Can’t wait to see your new bike build content soon. Great video as always Block. 🇺🇸
Bought my Road Glide from Seminole in ‘16. Best dealership experience that I can remember. I’ll head their way again in 3 or 4 years when it’s time to upgrade.
I bought the 2022 Low Rider St. New and love it. I put a tall boy seat and a taller windshield plus 15" rotors on the front. The motor has enough power for me. The 15" rotors make a big improvement on braking.
Wise choice! I love my ST
Love that ST. The different sized saddlebags would drive me crazy though.
I would go for the ST (if I had the money…) such a comfortable ride. Yeah I would change out the gauges right away but man what a bike. Just wish I could afford one right now
After I found out about the Rockford Fosgate system the ST I was sold on the ST, I just had it installed on mine and it’s incredible.
The key for me was the gauge on the S which is way better than the tiny digital gauge on the ST. I also prefer soft bags (Leatherpros). AND, here in the Seattle area, the ST was 4K more. I love my S in sand white pearl. Best purchase ever.
Oh yee the gage on ST digital gage is crap had it on my street Bob okay for baby chopper like that but not what you would want for this kind money. And that gage is Vin locked you void any warranty with out legal mileage oem gage game changer
Agree lot S is great I use for work ever day 30miles in bumper to bumber every day and fly right through it don't think could be as fast in traffic st faring for sure my street glide gets me stuck between cars. Having edward richi make me custom detach sissy luggage just for my lunch.
I've a friend who got a LR-S and did the opposite; he got the smaller gauge.
I've a club brother who got an LR-ST & wants the bigger gauge, we're thinking of trading.
I tried both, and while I love the look of the ST fairing I felt there was too much wind buffeting for me at 6'2''. Ended up going with an S as a '23 run-out deal, $7000 under what I would have payed for a '23 ST (danish prices...). And I LOVE the analog tacho on the S.
I APPRECIATE THIS...
65yo broke my back in 2018.... wanting to trade the Mule (17 Streetglide) for a Lowrider....
I love my lowrider ST. Went from the fxfb. I love it ! Pegs need to be extended forward. New grips.... I think that's about all.... said no one.
Coming from a YZFR1 to a Low Rider S,(2 months ago) my question is wind? What wind? I don't feel any wind. Forget the fairing, get the bags. I sense some inexperience here.
I ride my bike back and fourth to work weather permitting, all highway for about 45 minutes. Cruising speed with traffic is usually between 75-80, my LRS without a fairing gets to start hurting my back from leaning into the wind. Only longer trips at higher speed are when I have issues. I have an st fairing from advan black on the way
@@Airsoft1199did you get your fairing yet? I ordered mine 2 weeks ago. Just wondering how long the wait is realistically.
Great video I've been trying to decide
Regarding the dealers, their attitude can make or break a sale / customer. I've been to some that I would just go hang out on the weekend and shoot the breeze. Very low pressure. That's the dealer I'd buy from. The high pressure places you couldn't force me into again.
This video felt like the old times videos! I enjoyed it a lot!! I would go with the ST probably. Unless the S was clubstyle built
Brother you have no idea how quick my heart dropped when you put your phone on the tank! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT CASE THAT IS!!!
ST stand out bike in Harley’s range, if I wasn’t heavily invested in a sport-glide. I’d buy one tomorrow. Another great video
If you do longer rides, get the ST. If not, LRS. I don’t see much of a difference but $4K more for a fixed fairing and bags.
Bros!! I totally want a road guild and I stopped by Bert’s Black Widow and talked with a salesman and sat on the ST and after seeing this review I’m totally torn! Thanks for the adding to the grief of choices 😂
I’ve been looking at the LRST and it even fits me well even tho I’m a sawn off. I would need to part ex my Slim which is my first HD and a dream of mine to own. Not sure I can let it go lol. Would love to own a LRST tho. Thanks for the vid.
Being of short stature I went with a 2023 S to replace my Nightrod as I like the mid controls over the forward.
Just thought I would let you know that you have created a great channel...very professional, very natural and great fun. Feels like real bikers telling it as it is....Nice one
Thanks so much, we appreciate that!
I come from a FXDX and recently bought the ST. Love it for crushing miles on a sporty mini bagger!
A family friendly Harley dealership. You can tell as soon as you walk in the door. No price tags to confuse you.
Was just there today with a buddy told them I was really just there to look around for the day and they helped me with everything I would go there over anywhere else
Great demo video! Your Seminole Harley demo videos were instrumental for me to buy my Fat Boy two years ago. More please! Like you said, ride them first to decide what you like. If you get a chance, go to a Harley Demo Days and try them all. I've done that twice now and still walked away knowing that the Fat Boy is what works for me best.
love these riding pov videos!
The ST for me… but I don’t even own a Harley, so I’d even be happy to start on a sporty iron.
That tiny display on the ST is the biggest let down of the bike. You pay all this money and you don’t get something nice there.
Nice, thanks fellas!!!
@blockheadmoto would you say you felt a noticeable difference between the memphis shades fairing and the ST fairing? Please explain your answer.
Im looking tofollow your lead and ditch the softail quarter fairing with taller windshield for the ST fairing.
That’s what I did I rode a new street bob and dyna street bob. I went with the dyna because it had that look and sound I remembered from my childhood. I never got all the Harley hype until riding the dyna
Both are great bikes and it's definitely all about personal preference. Ive always slightly preferred the dxt look over the rt look, but thats likely because the Dyna scene was my introduction to "performance" esque Harleys. While I think Harley knocked the ST fairing out of the park, I still love my fxlrs and have no plans of getting rid of it.
Both are average bikes that the Triumph Rocket3 easily bests in every matrix. Sorry harley dudes. The bikes are torque monsters? Lolololol, how cute
@@jimanders9971 ok
I love my Cardo sound system. I do not need the extra weight of a 1990’s boom box. Audio system quickly dates the bike vs not being there. Remember the 8 track, then cassette, etc.
I've been researching between these 2 or a road glide for next year, I plan to ride alot so I'm thinking the ST for comfort, plus the bags for storage and the wife will occasionally ride with which is also why I am considering the road glide, really love the look of the road glide cvo st though also but that price tag 😮
ST no question, imo the best looking Harley they make right now!!!
I'm partial to the lowrider s, but the lowrider s I've been riding it's not normal. It's actually just like goldzilla. Mom won the shadetree surgeon FA lowrider S, so I love ripping around the 131 with the clam shell fairing
I would have to go with the Lowrider S. I’m just not a fan of that big faring. I actually miss your OG Lowrider S.
Agreed.
So, Lowrider ST, built 153ci, 150lbs weight reduction and a Stage 2 Trask Turbo? I bet I beat those 600cc bikes now! 🍻🤘🏼😆
You $40k bike can probably hang with 20 year old $3k cbr600 in a straight line.
Watched your from video again so jelly. I got a road king and love riding.
i got my 2023 LR ST.....looking at yours videos i was ready to get a White sand 2022 Fat bob...but when you mention the low rider st...i change my mind ,,, Low Rider st it is from now on!!!
I love my '21 FXLRS with its 131, in fact that's how I found you guys and Goldzilla. Have to say the tank mounted gauges are incredibly moronic, especially if your wearing a full face! Dual gauges like Eric's are on my list. I may have to try riding an ST to see what all the fuss about that fairing is about. Thank you guys for another great video, absolutely love your content. Maybe as y'all grow as a shop and channel you can find someone to do your social media so you can focus more on the bikes and we can still see the best damn show on RUclips 👍 I'll do my part and send y'all a bike to build, maybe a wide tire fxdr or a Breakout. I'll email Justin when I get a plan squared away. Blockhead fam kicks a$$!
Advanblack sells fairing that drop on nicely. They even make em for street bobs lol
The fairing is sexy when I get more time on my first bike(2011 wide glide) very possibly my next bike
Farings have been growing on me lately. So I think I might have to go with the ST
I finally did something I been waiting and saving for and bought a brand new Road glide Limited with a 114 . I want to change out the bars foe a set of apes and then of course exhaust
Option 3
Road Glide
LRST is bad ass.
117, fairing, don’t weight shit, like a RG Jr ..
but the bags are small and can’t have a pizza box on the back.
I would like to try the ST
Advan black is coming out with a ST fairing real soon. Plus the inner fairing will be painted. They will sell a ton of them.
Yes! That video i want. I definitely want LR S. Gauges better than digital on bar. I like aftermarket fairing. Not LRST fairing.
I bet you can make the kit to mount the st fairing on the s? I’m like him. I like the analog gauge better than the digital.
Might be a dumb question but could you explain what the vin lock on the fairing bracket means? Couldn't you just fab your own bracket?
Went and picked up bike this am. Took a ride with 2 baggers, sporty kept up fine. Nice little 20 mile first ride, parking lots don't count. Lol
I love my ST very much, and mine is white too. What came down to it, I wanted the fairing badly, didn't want the risk of not getting it, and then finally paying a lot to get it paint matched. The bags are awesome but I'm already getting chopped bags from nasty hogs (so great they color match). I test drove the S and road glide ST, put in an order for ST immediately after.
Hope you used our link for Nasty Hogs to get that discount! Their bags are good, been running them for awhile and no issues 👍
Yea white looks best for St, S looks good in White too, my S is black
I'd buy your st bags
@@naythanjones2320 located east coast?
The S all the way for me, I’ll be placing an order late april for a 2024, can’t fkn wait!
I'm looking at the S, just wanting something to bash on in town, the OG road glide is for everything else.
At 6ft I tried a low rider st and felt scrunched up so bought a sport glide… I know discontinued in the US but sounds like the perfect bike for you???
My issue with the 2020 s is rear shock does a real number on my back , very unforgiving. ..what's a good upgrade . Thanks
I test rode both, then rode the pan am.. walked out with the pan am! So much more comfortable and waaay faster.
Hi 👋, BlockHead , thank you for your, Territorial, very interesting, I am hoping to get another Softail Deuce, I had my first one for 20 years, isss . I had to sell it back in 2019/20 so I could move to France, stay safe, Ride Free, Phil from the moulin France.
I'm struggling to decide between these two and the streetbob... i feel like i "need" the fairings but probably don't.... as I'm on a highway like 10-15 max when I ride, and on long rides once every 2-3 months and hardly any highway.
Do you know where I can get the OEM White Sand Pearl saddle bags that are on the ST? I bout a WSP S with no bags. Trying to get the OEM bags and can’t find them anywhere.
When I got my FXLRS, I wanted the ST, simply for the fairing. Wasn't in the budget for me and I've enjoyed the S. I'll figure something out for a fairing, for now the Memphis Shades is on it. But if I'd gotten the ST, I would probably use the bags on occasion, but for just cruising, they'd be off.
Memphis shades fairing looks nicer too
Now you can get Advan black "ST" fairing
It's pretty much a No brainer I would take the ST. I am curious about the price difference also I would put the speakers in the fairing I love to irritate people with my music I'm a punk
I just can’t make up my mind, I currently have a 2019 low rider standard, absolutely love it, i put on a smaller sporty windshield on it added cruise, so help me out, im ok with the 107, is it worth buying the ST or just add a few improvements to my low rider, the new improved rear shock is a simple plug and play, I can always upgrade the front suspension, I know it don’t have the inverted forks but feel replacing the forks with progressive or something will definitely help the front. I just can’t seem to decide, It’s basically the same bike , forget about the fairing, If I was to buy one without already have mine I would go with the ST and definitely ditch the factory bags, they look like shit and hate the clam shell, would definitely do what you did to goldzilla. Help me out do I start over or just add some improvements to mine???
$4000 difference?
I would choose the Lowrider S and in the future add a set of Overwatch bags ($775) and a larger shield / 1/4 fairing.
Another ST on the road, Hell Yeah!
Is the st good for a 6‘1 tall rider? Any problems with the mid controls?
Thx
Fxlrs for me! Love my machine:)
The advan black road glide hard bags and brackets look way better then the clam shell bags
Great video guys 👍😝 Very helpful, Respect from steve in Bundaberg Australia 🇭🇲🏍🕺🍹
I rock an s with a russ wernimont txr with Rockford Fosgate and pelican ammo boxes, and let me tell you, its more of the custom look PLUS sound for way less than the premium price of the st
I have a low rider ST, but watching the stock low rider S in action makes me miss mine, ended up keeping the ST over the S
I really like the digital guage on the new S. Their so sleek and elegantly simple
Thrashin has the bracket available now 🤙🏼
I bought a new Lowrider S last year, being a chopper rider for about three decades I had an aversion for fairings so I chose the S over the ST, and living on an island , however and I have to admit some the fairings now days look pretty cool, I am looking at risers and Memphis shades road warrior, taller risers look funny with the stock fairing, I would make the same choice if I had to do it all over again
Put 12 factory 47 pull back or straight gives that old school cholo vibe. The road warrior is the best had one on my street Bob with out it street Bob is Worthless to ride. But I live at 90 on my S with baby fairing I'm 60 years old and brother won't give up the vibe for small chill.
Appreciate the feedback@@WitheBusiness
I like the S more because the looks , but how are the on old paved country road in the Netherlands in curves
How is the riding position different? Are they not the same aside from faring and bags?
I’ve owned both ..sold both. If I was to chose one the low rider s with RWD Faring and fxr division bags. The ST factory bags suck especially functional wise. Also the ergonomics of the seat position with the so called mids didn’t do it for me.
There’s a tach on it you just have to hit the selector button from odo to rpm
I have a s. Only thing I don't like is first and second don't work vary well in town traffic. Ones to low and scound to high. I put 45 degre risesers.
the only deal breaker thing i dont like about the ST is the small digital display..(having a RGST as well i need information). is the dual gauge thing a factory option..?
With the ST was suitable for someone 6’3”. Softails mostly are too small for me.
While the ST fairing is very good. I would prefer the FXR fairing and the FXR division bags.
I bought a breakout, then traded it for a low rider s. CR485 cam, HPI exhaust, OHLINS suspension, she’s a 10.
I am 5’11” and love my FXLRST, t came off of an 08 roadglide, the st is lighter and way easier to throw around.
What phone case are you using that has the magnet you can put on the tank?
ST is my dream bike wanted a FXRT Fairing on the OG 110 S for years, then Harley brings one out stock hell yeah, only downside for me is they are asking for 17k extra from the S to the ST in my country damn that's a big difference for what I can tell so far is just bags and the fairing. Is that correct or am I missing some major differences between these models?
The S seemed to shake, arms and mirrors, at highways speeds more than the ST. Is that the built is Harley vibration or attributable to wind?
Ok real quick I did samething but I bought the S. Yes the speedo is a game changer, and it's totally Vin locked, the St I test drove had bad shifting Trans and other 12:00 and Friday at the plant problem my S was and is perfect machine I love it. Here's the Good news Samsong from Tiland sells a made cline fairing with all hard ware for about 2000 with shipping, I think this bike looks great with bikini faring its a lowrider.
Advant black just came out with st fairing people
Where do u get those 2 gages for the st
