I have an itch....

Any pointers, advice, info greatly appreciated
 
Petrol tank is too small…..alloys look shite
 
Mid pegs sit too high … you need short legs and long arms…..

Sounds like me to a tee. 😁

Got to say all the reviews I've looked at / watched are very positive indeed, and there is always the option to mod as required but I rather like the look of it as stock.

Needs a longer front mudguard though.
 
They are great bikes IMO - the softail chassis handles well, the brakes are great … the 114 engine is a peach…

you will need to check the ergonomics……as the mid pegs do sit very high…

It's the "new" 107 engine, have to say it sounds lovely.
 
a question for you Harley guys, i'm completely new to Harleys so please forgive any stupid questions...

having taken the Street Bob for a test run, when cruising along in 5th or 6th the engine is very quiet but accelerating up through the gears it sounds like there appears to be a lot of top end rattle.

i know it is long overdue a full service but is this normal ?

oh, and the back brake is truly awful !!
 
I get that feeling but I'd be interested, in your reasoning
It’s been neglected…… now that could be a reasonably straightforward issue….. but do you want to take that risk? Especially if you’re paying someone to do the work for you?
 
All good advice gents, the last service recorded in the book was 2018.!
