Just got a 2014 Street Bob
Traded my 2010 Road King on a 2014 Street Bob in Denim Black. The Road King was an awesome bike but ultimately just not my style and I realized I would never be happy with it.
I also got the H-D distressed leather saddlebags, passenger seat and a backrest. Since I already have a Nightster, I wanted this to have some of the utility of the Road King.
I plan to do intake/exhaust/tuner in the near future and pick up a detachable windshield. At first I wasn't going to do any performance mods. But. Well. Yeah. The exhaust is way too quiet and you can't just do the exhaust, right? Right.

Nice bike. For some reason, the SB's do look GREAT in Denim Black. More so than the all the other bikes in my opinion. I do like the blacked out engines on the SB's compared to the chrome on my Fat Bob. Too bad I couldn't have done HD1 customization with mine. I would've ordered it with a black engine.

It's pretty nice so far. I've been babying it a bit. Haven't gone over 4000rpms. With the torque of the 103, even babying it, it gets around just fine at sub 60mph speeds. I can't wait until it's broken in. 60 miles down, 940 to go!

Here's a question. Is there any reason a part for a 2013 or 2012 Street Bob would not fit a 2014? I know of no physical differences yet it seems some vendors are behind the times on what parts will fit a 2014. In this instance I'm talking about an exhaust system.

A good way to verify though is go to the HD Parts page and check the fitment there of the part you're looking to buy aftermarket. If the HD version fits, the aftermarket one ought to.

I probably should have thought of that. Thanks!
