Street Bob or Low Rider?

Question

I'm 5'4" and love the look and feel of the low rider but I'm also leaning toward the street bob. I will be test driving both soon so I know that will be the deciding factor but I'd love more input on the balance, turn ratio, etc. for both if anyone has any insight.

Answer 1

Street Bob hands down. The m.o.c.o. charges big bucks for a Low Rider and it's basically a Dyna S/G with all bolt on stuff. If your gonna go for the Low Rider do yourself a favor and look at the Softail Standard first. The Softail is almost a thousand bucks less so that's a thousand bucks worth of goodies plus the Softail motor is balanced.

Answer 2

street bob with the factory apes looks real good. basically they're the same bike, except the low rider is an inch longer. the ape's on the street bob gives it a slight chopper look and i think they'd look better on the low rider myself.

Answer 3

I have an old Lowrider.It's a 1987 and it is my favorite bike to ride.I 've done a few mods. to mine to personalize it and to give it a little extra pep.My seat height is 26 1/2 inches.Mine is the sport model (FXRS) so they came with a set of 2" longer fork tubes.These are great bikes for shorter people.I don't know much about the Street Bob,but if it's a Harley you can't go wrong.Good Luck.

Answer 6

I was looking at the street bob myself - but with the bobtail rear fender from the wide glide - in flat black (Denim). Add some short shots and black it out a bit more. Lowriders are everywhere....stand out.
