A Closer Look at the 2021 Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114
By Brett Foote

An infusion of power gives Harley's lightest Softail a boost for 2021.

 

Thanks for posting but nothing special to see except a different paint job and an engine we already know from the FXFBS, FLFBS, ....

 

It's a 114 Harley for under 15k, an awesome intro bike.

 

I fell in love, the moment I saw it, at the presentation January 19th (my birthday, by the way). Ordered it the next morning. Bike is at the dealership already. Will go by on Monday to take a first look at my new toy.
It is a nice addition to my Ultra Classic Electra Glide. They are like Yin and Yang. Can't wait for winter to be over, so I can go for a ride.

One thing I hate about it is how small the tires are. They're so skinny, there's no way you can utilize the power of the 114 with those tiny things.

 

Congrats ! , I have the 107 FXBB and it is a really nice and fun bike to ride, if there was a 114 wen I bought the bike I would have bought it for sure in a 114 ( it is al in the head btw ) but I have the FXFBS and that is a 114 and there is not
so much difference, I even found that the 107 is bit more aggressive in the lower end then the 114 but again it are 2 different bikes, ..... I recently even bought a FLFB.

 

I changed mine with a 4,5" rim with a 170 on it, that is the max you can go without doing any mods to the fender etc.... I even trow on air suspension and still can ride on the lowest setting so I'mgood.
For me it is the same, it hate that ridiculous tiny tire looks ( same on the Slim ) and a 170 is already a bit more mature and fill up the rear end nicely, but that is my opinion and to each his own.

 

You probably could have put that 170 tire on the stock rear rim with out having any problems.

 

He could but there is almost no gain in width on that stock rim and a 170, you will get 155 out of a 170 and the tire is much too convex which is not beautiful but which benefits the cornering
