That’s what I do as well.. before a test ride but I haven’t rode on different settings so not sure how they all ride .. keep the videos coming
Usually they stick it in the mid ground off the shop floor but be careful as you might bottom out on larger bumps. My Glide did with a loud "clack" afew times even tho it was set between 85-90 kgs lol!
Nice vid and informative as I've not even played with my rear shock on the FXBB just yet (sprung seat looks a little awkward to get around without pulling everything off so I've left it for now 🤣) 🤘
David MacFarlane Day come to think of it I did bottom it out on setting 3 a few months back going over a bump in the road at 40mph! It sounded pretty awful...hmm now you got me thinking?! Might end up stiffening it if I start pounding metal 🤦♂️🤷♂️🤘
Very informative, thnx and keep it up
Your bike is beautiful man
Shockingly great video 👍
Haha whaaaayoooo! 😂🤘
Underrated comment 😂
Great video. have you ever had any clearance problems with that flat crash bar, or not so much since it's more forward on the bike that your pegs would heavily scrape first anyway?
I can't find a physical copy of the service manual anywhere. Where did you get it?
is always best to check the sag as well
Ive moved her up to 2...didnt want it bottoming out.
Does it raise or lower the rear of the bike?
Where did you get the fuel cap from in UK, I cant find one anywhere that isnt £70 or more. Any good webiste for parts?
Nice review, very useful info. I just bought an FXBB last month. It didn’t come with the tool to make the adjustment here in China. Did you have to buy the tool separately from Harley?
Thanks man...No mine came with the bike, along with the hand book and little ruck sack. You should get one with the bike if its from the dealer new? Id go ask for one or I know you can pick them up for about $10 from the dealer?
How do you know what setting you’re on?
Does the tool to adjust the suspension comes with the bike or did you buy it separate ?
comes with the bike buddy
I gotta go check the settings on mine now! Who knows what they set in on straight out of the factory? I should be riding it on the 1 setting. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the videos bro!
Casey Richardson after some riding I’ve moved mine up to 2...I’ve bottomed it out a few times 🤘
from my understanding the shock is only capable of a midset adjustment if you want it better you need new gas shock you will find if you put it on one it will lower the bike to maximum lowest point it wont change much about how the shocky operates
You need one of these, lol. Its called a Spanner Wrench Mate.
Did you notice a lower seat height after you adjusted the shock?
James Menard nothing really noticeable 🤷♂️
What kind of gas cap is that, looks niceeee
waleedooz1 it’s a Sportster flush mount 🤘
That means your dealer never adjusted it for your weight becasue the default on these bikes is setting 3
"Mine goes to 11!". 😂
Good video though, thanks. 🙂
I should check mine. It seems always wrong from the factory
WhiteWi haha good old Harley...worth checking 👌
StreetBobberVlogger Mine was on 3, I switched it to 2. My weight is 195-200 lb
WhiteWi haha I’m guessing they set it to 3 out of the box 🙄 Does it feel any better or not much difference?
StreetBobberVlogger seems like
@@StreetBobberVloggerSeems so. Mine came on 3 from the dealer as well .
I think it partly do to the cold tiers and roads definitely have to be a little bit different that bike is dirty 🙁
Ron Wissinger I know I seen the crap under the seat and thought I’d better give her a good clean! The problem is at the moment, there is so much salt and grit on the road, you have to wash the bike after every ride😭😭
@@StreetBobberVlogger at least you can ride I'm looking at snow right now making me a little jealous " be safe 😱
Ron Wissinger haha yeah snow is where I draw the line. 🤘
@@StreetBobberVlogger Recently picked up a street bob... first ride out, yup rain for 50 miles. When cleaning the bike that night (with the seat off) noticed a gap between the rear fender and back shock mount ! This lets all the road crap and water fling from the rear tyre straight under the seat, onto the shock and into the battery/electrics box !!! Definitely needs a small piece of trim in that area...bad design or cutting costs ?
ernst jo yeah it’s rubbish design. I’ve not done anything to mine, but under the Seat is muddy as hell 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Great video, yeah same feels on not liking setting “7” on our 2018 FXBB. It was way stiffer but didnt turn in well and you felt a ton of bumps. I put it back to what it came with i think “3” or “4” im about 124.7kg so ill have to give setting “1” a try.
madfzr I’m 80kgs and I’ve got mine back on 3 as I keep bottoming it out on big bumps! 🤘🤘🤘
