Default The Everything M8 Street Bob Thread

Thought I'd start this thread since I didn't see one, so please feel free to share your pictures and mods.



I just ordered the HD forward control kit to start some mods.

I bought the 2020 Low Rider S at the time for the 114", traded my one-year-old Low Rider for it. The 2019 Lowrider was a more comfortable bike, fit me better, just lacking the 114.
Now, since the Street Bob has a 114 and especially the cast wheels, it's been on my mind.
The LRS for me was a finished project so I was going to ride it this season, was warming it up to change oil and drove by the dealer, turned around and visited to use the bathroom. You know how the salesman interaction goes when you walk into a dealer, I played the customer roll and 3 hours later rode home on the Street Bob, they had a new 2023 in Red. I like the more relaxed steering rake angle and it's a better ride than my LRS which had a Fox 13" shock. Immediate plans are to change a couple of things for more comfort this season.
