In this video I review the 2024 Harley Davidson Softail Standard. I own this bike and although I've made a lot of changes to mine, I think this is a great bike for the money!

This is a solid option for people looking to add their own style to a Softail frame.

Top rate review and your bike with the wheels, brake disc and other add-ones is the best looking Standard I’ve seen.

Nice STS. I’m very impressed and jealous of the work you put into that ride.

I got the Standard~~😊 Standard have not heavy weight and slim size wheel, so it got a sufficient torque, nimble handling. (Very fun bike in Harley) Of course, it's good for beginners I think, it suits skilled riders who want a classic style and fun ride rather than a bike for beginners~~`!!

@locoocho2415 4 ай бұрын

You got a great ride 👌 What I like is the baja headlight. That should fit on a Street Bob.

I like the seat on your bike. It looks better butted up to the tank. I don't like the look of that space between the seat and tank on the 2024. Great review.

@Bkamaclean 5 ай бұрын

3.5 gallon tank isn't as bad as most people think...my 1998 Fatboy only came with a 4.2 gallon as well as the Heritage Softail...they didn't go to a 5 gallon until 2000 model year. With the better fuel metering of the new fuel injection as compared to the older carb models that I mentioned...it will go about as far as the older model year bikes that I mentioned.

I absolutely love the traditional Harley look, customization potential and sound of the bike. For a couple of thousand less a person could choose the arguably more powerful, more feature equipped, and smoother riding Nightster Special. For a person who plans to do a lot of mods, and insists on an air cooled machine, this could be an excellent choice for them.

Have you thought about installing a factory side plate mount to yours?

I have a 2020 Standard and I love it. I put a good amount of coin into and blacked it all out. I just think a bike should be bare bones like the bikes in the past. I mean its a motorcycle...not a Caddy. Just my opinion...I just love the old school vibe.

What's your thoughts on the forks on the Standard not being covered like the Street Bob gators? Is the street bob's purely for looks?

I’d say it was put in for cosmetics but it would keep debris out. You can put them on a Standard. I’ve also cut them off the Street Bob! Haha

So. The Softail Standard is the Real Inheritor of the XL Mantle. The Sportster S is what the Street should have been Sans the price tag. So up'ing the Engine size gave your bike a drinking problem? Do the Street Bob tanks fit? Looks like a very nice bike to Mod to perfection.

@TeensierPython 5 ай бұрын

Low rider S is pretty basic. I wanted the twin brakes, bigger motor, bigger tank (for the looks), and upside down forks. Is it worth the extra money over the standard. Hard to say.

@montha123 4 ай бұрын

22 Lowrider s owner myself & I think the fxlrs is worth the extra money , way better looking bike & better handling , only extras I added so far is a 2 into 1 cobra el Diablo exhaust with a Don performance tune

5 gallon tank would be great. I think a low rider tank will swap onto it. You can order it with a 128 kit and Harley maintains the warranty. 😉

DOes Harley ever stop at finding ways to jack up the price. Painting it gray when they know most will want black but you have to pay extra. I have a harley and other bikes but losing faith in their marketing.

I don’t know if anybody noticed they made the tank smaller. Not sure if that’s because of the reduction in fossil fuel usage for the future or because millennials like it that way, small? I’m old-school I like them fat.
