Watch this before you buy the Low Rider ST --> ruclips.net/video/V4wyRYq19A0/видео.html
I'm 6'2, as previously stated, and the bike fits fine, I don't even need risers, but the mids took some getting used to. If you are over 6ft, and buy this bike, you will want forward controls, or bars that can be used as highway pegs. Also, when slowing down from "higher speeds", to catch an exit, the tires feel like I'm on ice. I'm thinking of different tires... I dont think the stock ones are rated for my riding....@Ty From Tennessee
Yes! Crash bars! I’ve got to get a set for this bike. Thank you for the feedback. Have a great day and thank you for watching!!
Getting rid of those scorchers is one of the best things you can do to any new harley. How they havent caught a lawsuit about them is mind boggling.
Maybe I can help with ‘fit’. I’m 6’2” and and have owned Sportsters to Softails to a Road King. Although I’ve put 500 miles on my ST since I picked it up last Wednesday I’ve found Harley’s Tall Boy saddle made a big difference. An inch up and an inch back changed the triangle dramatically. Do with it what you may BUT if you ride this torque monster the way it was designed to be ridden forward controls are NOT a viable option. If your style of riding requires more room in the cockpit I would suggest a Fat Boy, Breakout or a touring chassis bike. Hope this helps, ride safe on whatever you choose and good luck!
Thanks Aspen. That is some fantastic information for taller riders. I appreciate your time and thank you for watching!!
That's why I put the bung king 2 step high step bars on it. Great highway pegs with a flat breather, and I keep my mids, and i have more lean angle... but the stock tires, slowing down from abt 110 to 40, when exiting, feel like you are on ice. Dunno if it's heat? Or what? But I will probly put different tires on it.
@@tarasmithskitchen2614 I noticed what felt like a bit of a slip on my first exit off the interstate. I cured it by killing the Traction Control and powering up through the turns. Gotta drive those tires into the pavement to get ‘em to stick. I’m 66 and been riding since I was 8. Coming off a 96 ci Road King I find this to be an entirely different beast for sure. After a Star Racing 3030 cam, Vance and Hines Hi Output 2 into 1 Stainless exhaust and Screaming Eagle Pro Tuner the bike actually scared me a tad…but that’s between you and me, lol.
@@TyFromTennessee following your lead Ty…love the videos!
@albertoverbaugh9062 Did you happen to test the Sundowner at any point? I have not read much for the tallboy for long rides.
There are too many H-D dealerships that force a $5k to $10K markup over MSRP. Customers need to let these "Stealerships" that there are over 600 other dealerships they can buy from.
I know man. It’s awful and I hear about it all the time. It’s tough to find a good dealership but when you do…stick with them. Thank you for watching!
Hi
How do handle the charger port in RAIN ?
Mine doesn’t work in rain properly. Please advise.
Thank you, Alex
I usually just move my phone out of the charging port and into my handlebar bag. There are a number of products out there that are rain resistance. Thank you for watching!
Good video Ty . I’m about 5’10” , with a 32” inseam , and I’ve wondered how the bike would fit me . Thanks for taking the time to go over some things a lot of us have been wondering .
Great man! I’m glad this video was helpful to you. I appreciate your time and thank you for watching!!
I have one and I think you'll love it. Handles and rides great for a bike it's size.
For me at 6' the 10" windshield made an entire world of difference. The stock windshield had the wind smashing me right in the bridge of the nose trying to peel my helmet back and shades down. The 10" (hd and now klockwerks) not only helped with the wind vastly but even made the stereo easier to hear at speed. Looks like you got some beautiful riding down there man.
That’s fantastic news! Glad to read you’ve got the bike dialed in right where you need it. Yes indeed, many miles of beautiful roads this way. Thank you very much for watching!
Are you happy with the klock werks? I'm 5ft 10.. Do you think the 10 inch will work?
When you own White Lightning Harley Davidson, I’m sure you did get it quick Ty.. 😁👍
Hahahha! Crazy story but the delivery truck showed up while I was at the dealership finishing the paperwork! Thank you for your time today!!
100% - Got mine at Baltimore HD at MSRP thru Jeremy Lane - Excellent - Not much more to say.
That’s awesome Robert! Congratulations and glad you’re working with an excellent dealership. Ride safe and thank you for watching!
hi Ty !
... a little small correction on your headlamp flashing. Actually, your head lamp IS flashing... very rapidly... its called pulse width modulation. Its how the engineers control the current and intensity of the lamp, high beam, electronically. Most LED lighting is pulse width modulated. Now, how come your eyes cannot see it, and why does the camera pickup the flashing? The answer is persistence of vision in the human eye. Your eye cannot see the pulse width modulation frequency; however, your camera frame rate is such that the frame rate is close enough to the frequency of the pulse width modulation of the headlamp LED controller so that when you watch the video YOU CAN see the interaction between the frame rate and the pulse width frequency. This is similar to the old TV Westerns we used to watch as kids (remember?) where the stage coach wheels would look stationary when the wheels were turning... or the wheels would look like they're turning backwards ??? Or, another example is the strobe light in an old automobile flywheel timing light... the flywheel looks like its sitting still even though its spinning at 700 rpm... remember?
Anyway, there it is ...
marcus
Great explanation! Thank you very much for that. I'm going to have to carry this information around with me so that I can repeat it when people ask, because I get that a lot! Have a fantastic weekend Marcus!
I have to change the breather on mine, i want a good flat one for a stage 2? I have the bung king 2 step high step bars, and they are great highway bars! For my left leg..... also looking for a 2 up seat, I'm 6'2" and ain't tiny, so the stock sest is painful on a long trip.
Great suggestions for taller riders. Glad you are able to customize the ride to fit your needs. Thank you for watching!
Flickering lights
Headlights aren’t what you would imagine a light beam to be… it’s more of a pulse, our “human eyes” can’t see it but, filming headlights with a camera you can due to the frame rate of said camera.
I appreciate your info on that. I get questions about that headlight all the time. Thank you!
Ain’t anybody getting a FXLRST at MSRP in California, great deal 👍
I can only imagine the price hikes in that area. A good honest dealership can be tough to find but they are out there. I appreciate your time very much!
yo! Laidlaw HD no?..
Headlight flash is strobing effect. LEDs are either on or off...and at a(usually fixed) frequency. You can see that strobing just by moving your head back and forth... LEDs are great but incandescent lights are greater in terms of real light. Match the camera capture frequency and headlight frequency exactly and the light will be either on or off. There is definite information loss with LED lights. I'm not sure why people love LEDs so much...'cept maybe they take less current to work.
I appreciate the info and your feedback. I have always been a fan of LEDs for the most part. Thank you for watching!
You also have to be careful of the dealership you buy this bike from. A lot of dealerships are putting a huge markup on their bikes, especially their Lowrider ST or any other hard to get bikes and sometimes you’re paying as much as eight to $10,000 over MSRP. I bought my bike a Xenia Harley Davidson in Xenia, Ohio. The salesman Kent took care of me. I didn’t have to pay any extra pricing to get the bike and someone even came in and tried to buy it off of Monterey before I could take delivery and he refused to sell it even though he would’ve made more money because the guy was willing to pay the up charge to get the bike but I stood by the deal. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with them and there is a little fee that Harley Davidson makes them charge, but it’s not the dealership at the Harley Davison. It’s doing that but if you’re in the Dayton Xenia Richmond Indiana area check out senior Harley Davison they will do you write I speak from experience.
It sounds like you have a great dealership experience. I love reading stories like that. My local dealership is fantastic too. Wish other people had those type of experiences. Thank you very much for watching!
Hi, I would like to know if the 2023 Low Rider ST has an hydraulic clutch or a cable clutch. I know that the 2022 model has a cable clutch.
I always get confused on this issue too, but yes, I believe the LRST is cable clutch. Thank you very much for watching and have a great day!
I am 5”11 with a 33” inseam and with the mid controls my knees are higher than the seat. Hard to test ride a bike with forward controls because they are.not stock. There is no way I would ride even 50 miles with the mid controls.
I get that and I’ve heard many taller riders say the same thing. It’s a super comfortable bike for me at 5’9. Now I’m get used to it, I guess. Thank you very much for watching!!
I need 200 miles per tank. A comfortable seat that will do 200 plus miles a day. The ability to carry 5 days of gear. And still need to look cool. Will this bike do that?
Of course! I love my LRST. You put a Sundowner seat on that bad boy and you are all set. Thank you for watching!
So... my burning question is this: how much are you gonna charge me to buy it from you when you move on? :D
😂😂
hahaha! Maybe one day, but not anytime soon! Thanks John!
Thanx for the video, so i take it since you already changed out headlight the factory unit was not vey acceptable?
The factory headlight was fine, but I really liked the LP4 when I saw it. It's such a great motorcycle. Thank you very much for watching!
Nice run down on the features. What a strange place for a USB port. You did not answer my question, can you do a wheelie. 😂😂 JK buddy,
Me trying to do a wheelie would be RUclips gold! I would most certainly get the views then! Thanks Pete...
You can get your head lights to flash and from what I read, motorcycals can have flashing lights during the daytime.
I'm 5' 5" and I the wind blows my head pretty bad with the stock windsheild. I got the harley large clear windshield witch stopped the head bobbing but now the top of windshield is in the center of my eye balls ugg.
I hope you are enjoying your Low Rider ST. I have mine dialed in just about perfect for me now. Thank you so very much for watching and I appreciate your time today!
@@TyFromTennessee Maybe I'll see you at WhiteLightning one day
Did you change the risers ,cant really tell from the video
I have the Thrashin Supply 6.5 risers on the bike. Love them!!
Cowboy Harley in Austin Texas sold me one for below MSRP. They were fair and willing to work with me. Everyone out here wants touring bikes and i think that gave me an edge.
It's always good to hear when someone gets good customer service at a dealership. I appreciate your time and thank you for watching!
Good to know as I live in Austin and plan on buying an ST from Cowboy Harley Davidson, 👍
Some good things there, but I don't get why people ask about the price. That's one very very quick internet search away. Some might pay more, some less. All depending on where you are located geographically I suppose and if the dealer is serious or not.
And as far as the audio goes, I recon it's the same with in-helmet audio. Up to a certain speed, it's all good, but then the wind noise kinda take over. For the most part. I'm sure there are solutions that does a better job than others on that topic.
Keep it up man.
Ride safe and ride smart!
I've heard some crazy stories about dealerships adding to the price of the bike because they know many what that certain model. I'm lucky I have a local dealer that I can trust for sure. Thank you very much for watching!
I went to a msrp only dealer and still was charged 5k over
Oh man, that's no good. Luckily, my local dealership is really good about not over charging their customers. Thank you for watching!
can you link to the go pro mount you use on the bars? Thx.
Not sure I understand your question. What do you mean? Sorry man.
@@TyFromTennessee The mount you use to show you talking. The one that's attached to your bars.
I have a Lowrider ST with the Rockford Fosgate Soundsystem and I have not found it to be a problem hearing it over 6 7080 miles an hour. And my hearing is bad. But I’ve run 100 on that bike and Main able to hear it so I think the sound system is well worth it and I agree on the faring I change my windshield it didn’t make it feel any different and I do agree it is the way the faring is is shaped that makes the ride. But fantastic par for motorcycle well worth a test ride and you make your own decision but me personally, I feel the sound system is fantastic.
RF has a great product for sure, but when I get to about 70 mph I can't really hear the system that well. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you!
Does it have traction control and ride modes?
There are no ride modes on the Low Rider ST. Thank you very much for watching!
Unrelated question: Who does your logo and intro sequence? Did you create your profile picture?
Hey Toby. I have used Fiverr for the logo and intro, but I have edited it many times to get it exactly where I want it. Fiverr is a great place to start. As for the profile picture, I did that using Canva. I also use it for my thumbnails and such. Thanks Toby!
Wish HD would’ve release the Lowrider ST a year sooner. I would have been rocking a Lowrider instead of a Heritage. Still love my Heritage though! Good video, my man. Keep rockin’! ✌️#softailnation
The LRST is a great motorcycle but so is the Heritage. Ride safe out there and thank you very much for watching!!
I had the taller windscreen and a tall boy seat installed before I picked it up. The pegs are ok but for longer rides forward controls might be better. Im5'10"
Hi Mark. I appreciate your feedback. I’m with you, I had to replace the pegs right about the time I brought the bike home. Thank you for watching!
A potential question in case you do a part 2 - how easy is it to read the instrumentation display? In your and other videos the display appears small to the point I wonder about how useful it is. I've not seen reviews comment on it so presumably it's fine, but I've not seen positive comment about it either.,
I've always been a big fan of the Street Bob so I really like the display. It's easy to read and provides all the information that I need at a quick glance. If you get the change take a demo ride. It really is an awesome motorcycle. Thank you for watching!
What risers do you have? I’m looking for just a slight increase of height. Thank You for responding
Hey there! I have the 6.5 Thrashin Supply risers. I have provided a link for you and I hope it is helpful. Thank you for watching! 6.5" Pull Back Thrashin Risers - bityl.co/F6Yw
Hey ty so I have a 21 ultra bit wife and I don’t take crazy long trips so I was thinking a low rider st would do the job for us.
It's such a great bike man. It is absolutely the best H-D that I have ever been on. Thank you for watching!
So if I understand well, this windshield is not worth buying since it isn't better than the original shield? It looks good but so does the stock windshield.
I agree Hennie. In my opinion i honestly can’t tell any difference. Both windshields work very well. I appreciate your time today!
Just bought one of theses for my wife!!! So glad I found your videos!! Taught me a lot!!! Thank you for your videos!
Hi Ron! Congratulations to you and your wife. It is an awesome motorcycle. I appreciate your time very much!
I’m 6’1 and I feel just fine on my ST with the stock foot controls, but I guess it’s all preference
True. Glad to read you are comfortable on the bike. It’s an awesome ride! Thank you for watching!
Hello from Gatlinburg TN Young man! 🏞️🐻🌄
What’s going on my friend?! Thanks for stopping by the channel!
@@TyFromTennessee always!! It's getting packed in Gatlinburg my friend.. Early Holliday weekend crowd..whew!! Wish my luck..lol. Hope you're well 😊
@@TheGatlinburgHussey I’ll follow your advice….Never visit Gatlinburg on a holiday…hahahah.
@@TyFromTennessee you're smart my friend..lol. 😆
come with heated grips?
No heated grips from the factory. Thank you for watching!
Always honest and to the point. I'd follow you on a moped. Be well buddy.
Thanks Bob. Hope you are doing well and looking forward to seeing you soon!
I see you’ve got a sissy bar and the hard bags installed. I went to the dealership to check the bike out the other day and they mentioned I couldn’t run both. Is this a special kit or were they just incorrect?
Hey there. I think they gave you some incorrect information. I purchased the sissy bar from my local dealership. You will also need the Hold Fast Docking Hardware kit. I've included a link to H-D's website for the sissy bar and the docking kit. I hope it is helpful. bityl.co/JJZv
@@TyFromTennessee thanks for the response! This is helpful
Really like your Low Rider ST videos. Have been incredibly helpful as I tune mine in for me. One additional question for you. Any update on what you think of the Sundowner seat? I have a Saddleman SDC seat. Looks great and works great around town. Gets a bit uncomfortable for me after about two hours. Thinking about getting the Sundowner for a planned four day ride. Curious as to how yours is working for you.
Hey Stephen. I love the Sundowner seat on my LRST. It's super comfortable and I can ride the bike for hours and hours. I don't do any 2-up riding so I'm not sure what a passenger would say. I hope that is helpful and thank you very much for watching!
Super helpful. Thank you! I don’t do two up either so it sounds like this would be a good option for me. Appreciate the reply.
😎👍
Thank you sir!!
👍
Thank you sir! Much appreciated!!
As someone who is also 5'9. I got the 10 inch flared winshield make my riding experience 1000x better. I think the important preliminary question is if you ride with a half shell or full face more? Full face the stock winshield is perfect. If you run half shell you definitely without a doubt will want a taller winshield
The taller winshield also made the Rockford Fosgate system MUCH better!
That is a great point. Thank you for the clarification. Sorry for my late response, but I hope you have a great week!
@TyFromTennessee it's all good, You do the same Ty!
how many sponsors do you have?
0.0. No sponsors for me but I wish I did!!
@@TyFromTennessee dang that’s sad, can definitely tell you’re trying hard too. How much you spent on dis channel? 100k in bikes? 20k In upgraded?
Great review 👍👍
Thanks Darrell. Love this bike man.
Nice review keep up the good work Ty From Tennessee
Thank you very much Marcus. I really appreciate your time today sir.
It’s the only “new” Harley I would buy. But since Harley wants to go woke I’ll wait for a used one down the line. I’ll spend my money on a different company that sells their motorcycles.
The Low Rider ST is a fantastic motorcycle for sure. I plan to fully support the motor company and my local dealership. Thank you very much for watching and have a great day!
I took a demo out a week ago. I’m 5’8” and I was not comfortable at all on it. The pegs are way too high and the “pullback” risers are still too far forward. Power was great though
I understand. The comfort of the bike is going to be different from person to person. Overall, I really love the motorcycle. I appreciate your time and thank you for watching!
