@@stevewilliamson9664 Yesterday I went to my local HD dealer and started from the the bottom of the range (the Softail Standard) and felt the the Low Rider was good value compared to a Standard or Street Bob, mainly because the LR had a decent seat, nice looking bars, and the 70s homage styling. Maybe one day I'll have a test ride on one!
I agree with and you on your assessment. I want to see a Lowrider S with either the 114 or 117 for sure. The original Lowrider S is going to be a cult classic for HD. Also go back to the double disc brakes upfront and they would have a winner!
I'm in that contingent that loves the blacked out/murdered out look but bought an Ultra Classic that is chromed. I'd always had chromed Harleys but the Street Glide/Road Glide didn't meet my needs and one of them was cornering clearance. I believe the Low Rider has a better ground clearance than the other Softails and that larger fuel tank is nice. So yeah I agree, they should offer a blacked out Low Rider. I do feel lucky to get the Ultra before Harley 86'd it from the lineup... If it were Blacked out and didn't have the infotainment system it would be perfect.
Nice looking bike, love the the back light/ number plate(just needs a smaller one) pure H-D. Better blacked out as Laidlaws done but would cost too much.
I'm in the "gray" area between the stock sound (which I like for highway cruising) and a certain type of aftermarket. I definitely do NOT like very loud pipes. I tried a few styles of slip-ons including drilling a big hole in the blank in the front of the stock baffle (sounded like a jackhammer) and all but one of them was too loud. The winner was the Rush slip-ons with the smallest baffles which gave me a very deep rumble WITHOUT the extreme volume. This is perfect for back road, two-lane cruising in the twisties. I switch back and forth between stock and Rush according to my mood.
i agree - the low rider twin stack pipes sound good enough , if i was to modify - i would cut out baffles and make a few more slots in the insert and put back , - then get an end cap made up to tidy cuts and leave the overall look .
Well I broke down and ended up buying a 2020 Low Rider S with about 500 miles on the odometer. Awesome motorcycle. Best Harley I have rode yet. Does every thing right. I still like the possibility of getting the 2022 Yamaha XSR 900 for what it is. But love the Low Rider S. The only major change I plan on making to it are the handle bars. Maybe switching to the ones used on the regular Low Rider for comfort. just saying .
Number plate and rear light are a big let down. +1 on the Low Rider S version though. I wonder why they haven't made one? Laidlaws have made a replica.
Really like the LowRider. Reminds me of a 70s bike and I dig it. Not a fan of the Milwaukee 8 tho. Good torque sure, but with so much less shake at idle (especially when it's in a Softail) it feels like a metric bike. Doesn't sound like a Harley either, but to each their own. Solid review. Wish the weather was better for you. Ride safe man...
Hate the rear light and number plate,side mount and integrated tail,brake,and indicators would look much cleaner. If this is done as an upgrade I bet it would cost a fortune. They need to do an "S" all blacked out with some drag bars!
Great platform for a nice customization, you never know what HD might do next, the Low Rider S like you had was a hell of a good seller for them. Pity they don't do a 114 in the Low Rider 👍😎🏴
I have this same bike in this same color. After a while though, my arms gets tired because of the downward angle of the stock handlebars, I find myself fighting against gravity.
that is because tiny no one can SEE. NOW BIG EVERYONE CAN SEE. . . . . . even then they could see, because it was and still is the biggest concern. so why you complaining?
Great review! Personally, I love the chrome on this bike! You can just see the quality. The reason why I prefer this bike over the S is that beautiful and classic Harley-Davidson chrome. Absolutely stunning! I'm thinking about selling my bike to buy a low mile 2019 H-D Softail Lowrider 107 with ABS and then getting the H-D cruise control kit for it... Then maybe a stage 1 kit to start. I'll also want a windshield that I'll tint about 50% to put on during the winter. We'll see. Thanks for making the video! I gave it a like, and I put it in my Lowrider 107 playlist. I'll subscribe after this comment as well. Cheers
what is it with people always wanting blacked out everything ???? that shit is over rated. why not go . . . . WHITE OUT . . . ^.^ they already done chrome out do the other colors , there is plenty of them waiting to be used.
sounds awesome ! hmm, a Buell sign. far as i know, we dont have that sign here at the H-D dealership. , take a photo, it will be valuable one day. LOL , riding in the drizzle huh . so making the H-D wet gives it that appeal of '' OH- YES!! '' . lol , srry i just had to. awesome video !!
ride a 2018 M8 lowrider 107, very poor rear brake, front fender waste of time riding in the rain, also in the rain water is sprayed directly onto the battery and electrics and shock,from the gap in the rear fender, definately one for dry riding only.
RUclips takes about 10 minutes from upload to hit that 1080 crispy look. Also make sure you select 1080 on the device you're using otherwise it will set a lower rate to support your internet speed 👍
I have a 2015 Harely Super Low 1200T. I would not buy another Harely (new or used). Do not get me wrong I like the HD 1200T I own but it just is not as much fun as the 2016 Motto Guzzi V7 Stone that I also own. If I were to purchase another bike at this time it would be most likely the new 2019 Triumph Speed Twin and/or the 2019 Motto Guzzi V85TT. IMO the 2019 Motto Guzzi Eldorado is a much better choice than the 2019 Harely Low Rider.
Modern Harleys just don’t sound like the old Harleys. More like metric cruisers. They also require constant tinkering, sometimes expensive tinkering. I’d rather ride than wrench.
Poor review. As an owner, let me tell you the crappy things which you should have easily picked up on, but failed to do so. First, those handlebars. They suck! Most owners I know have swapped them out. Same for me. I'm 5'8", when I test rode the bike I could not reach to full-lock with the stock handlebars in order to do a full-lock U-turn. Swapped them out for HD Street Slammers - now everything works properly and your wrists are not in an awkward position. Secondly, you won't be keeping the stock seat (as you seem to suggest) if you want your partner/wife to come along on rides. After just 3 minutes, my wife (who has ridden many a long day on the saddle with me, but on other bikes) said that if I want her to come along on rides the uncomfortable seat has to go. Just look at the passenger part of the seat, it narrow out and slants backward with the rear mud guard - another HD part designed for looks instead of function (and means of clawing more money from customers). Stock seat replaced with HD Sundowner - now happy wife, happy life. Apart from that, the FXLR has plenty of acceleration and torque and lean angle for those folk who like spirited riding. And for those folk who like to cruise on major highways/roads, the FXLR does not come with cruise control, but is available as a optional extra, and totally worth having.
1:18 - OMG, the bike started on it's own! Did you guys see anyone start it? I didn't see anyone start it. Must be a new remote start feature...
BLOCKHEAD 😂😂
😂
I bought one brand new last week...it's one beautiful powerful mile muncher that's so comfy to ride..
I have too...comfy mile muncher it is..an ever so powerful ...thinking of a stage one...

6:30 haha! Lookin cool! Yesss. These are just BEAUTIFUL! Bummed they ditched em. I want that burgundy color
I did wonder why I couldn't find them new no more.
I have a 2018 lowrider, the seat and bars had to go. I put 14 inch apes on her and a new seat and I'm very happy. Great lookin bike btw.

Was missing you pal.. love the vlog keep up with your hard work it's well appreciated this end ..
Nice looking bike, love the the back light/ number plate(just needs a smaller one) pure H-D. Better blacked out as Laidlaws done but would cost too much.
They never should've gotten rid of the dual disc front brakes imo
Unless you ride exceptionally hard, dual disc make little difference on these bikes.
Front end looks cleaner with just one disc, though.
I have a Dyna Low Rider. I’d like to go look at this and the Slim
80sruler.....Me too. Ride an 04 Low Rider with the 88in twin cam. Wish it had the soft tail suspension though. Pretty happy with it.
Outstanding review. Covered everything I needed to know before test driving.
Another great review I just don’t know how they went from the fxdls which was unreal looking to this.
Great review.Not sure about the comment, that you could easily do 180 miles in one day.That is not very far really.
I know i’m in the very many minority but i actually love how harleys sound stock. The aftermarket are just too load and obnoxious to my liking.
You must be from the old school -- like me! Same here.
I kept my stock mufflers on my 2018 fxlr until I got run into by a cager. Yanked those mufflers off.
I'm in the "gray" area between the stock sound (which I like for highway cruising) and a certain type of aftermarket. I definitely do NOT like very loud pipes.

I put a saddlemen explorer seat, harley wind splitter windshield and V&H twin slash mufflers on. best Harley out of the 4 I've owned.

Looks like you had a very bumpy windy ride Mark. Very nice review as usual.
I really like your gloves where can I get some?
Great videos!
That tail light is from the 60's WTF . They release the modern FXDR and Fatbob yet forget about the details on all the bikes.
that is because tiny no one can SEE.
NOW BIG EVERYONE CAN SEE. . . . . . even then they could see, because it was and still is the biggest concern.
so why you complaining?
@@djohnson3678 What? Something about it being tiny and now its bigger.
The design is out dated mate.
Put the 2017 bars, front breaks, and pipe on this bike I'm back liking it...

What about the engine heat...you never mentioned it...is it producing too much heat???
Picking mine up tomorrow. Like a little kid at Christmas.😎
damn i love the lowriders, such a nice looking bike
BTW you've uploaded in a lower quality only 360p available dude
@@jensenlewispratt check it again mate its 1080. RUclips takes a few minutes to adjust to 1080.
Motonewbrider yeah, Just needed a minute I guess, next time I won’t rush into commenting
If it was all blacked out from the factory, would you trade the fxdls for it?
I wouldn't trade my FXDLS for one. I wouldn't trade my FXDLS for anything.
Sojourner114 never ever in a million years. I’ll be buried with my fxdls!

what is it with people always wanting blacked out everything ????

why not go . . . . WHITE OUT . . . ^.^

do the other colors , there is plenty of them waiting to be used.

The Lowrider is now a softail? WTF? Man, Harley has changed over the years.
What is this colour? I can't find this colour in official website. @motonewbrider
Twisted Cherry. Just like mine.

Liquid cool or Air cool?
Yo Bro!...>>> MUST RETAKE TEST PLEASE WHEN NOT WINDY!!!

Ha ha... Welcome fella 👍
Nice
Modern Harleys just don’t sound like the old Harleys. More like metric cruisers. They also require constant tinkering, sometimes expensive tinkering. I’d rather ride than wrench.
but HD does make a Lowrider S
Fkn mean hog brother , where abouts were you cruising looks like England?
That stock exhaust sounds hideous
Yep, must switch out pipes first thing on any M8.
Blame the government, not Harley.
The old head of Kinesale.
