Nov 2018 Fat Bob S /w 48K miles. Stage IV 131 at 22K as soon as the kit was available. TBR slip ons, SE Auto Tune, HD fat saddle, Road Warrior Fairing, centerline tag bracket, cruise control, LEDs & luggage rack bags for trips. I’ve done Route 66, Big Bend, AZ Sidewinder, the Tail of the Dragon, Iron Mountain Road SD, Sturgis SD, Talimena Scenic Byway, Ocoee River Scenic Byway, Palms to Pines Scenic Ride CA and many more Pacific to the Atlantic on this bike! This is the very best motorcycle that H-D has ever made! Lifetime HOG member and ridden all of the Demo Truck bikes. This is an absolute beast! I cruise at 90 mph on the highway. I’ve done 1,000 mile in a day several times on this bike. I love it’s performance. I scuff tire sidewalls and scrape the pegs on both sides, 30+ degrees of lean. I’m gonna put 100K on this Fat Bob and buy another new Fat Bob 131. I own a Corvette ZR1, but this is my daily driver.

You can go 165 miles on a full tank of gas on the Fat Bob. It’s usually time to go to the bathroom and get a drink by then.

I went with the FatBob to be different and I actually love the look just the way it is. Owning it for 6 months I don’t regret my decision.

These were the exact 2 models I was looking at before I got my Harley... for me, I went with the Fat Bob! I just love the look!! So aggressive and rides like a beast!

Ive been searching & digging what kind of bike I want. So many to choose from, and it will be my first bike. Nonetheless, thanks to you. You sold me on the fat bob. Thank you for being well detailed and opinionated when reviewing these bikes. You definitely helped me out a lot sir!

My favorite “new to me” channel on YT. I enjoy the content man! Especially this type of review. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks for video! I just rode both of these bikes yesterday at Barb’s HD Demo Days and they’re both fast and quick with great handling. However the biggest difference for me was the forwards on the FB felt very comfortable while the mids on the LRS was very uncomfortable and cramped up. For reference I’m 5’11”.

Bought the fat bob after riding these back to back because it was more comfortable on the 10-15 minute test ride. Regret it 100% after owning it and wish I got the low rider s. 30 mile commute each way to work, gotta fill up on my way home every 2 days. And that super comfortable riding position? Is destroying my tail bone after more than 25 minutes. new seat? Sure, for about $450. Change to mid controls? Sure, for about $800 after buying all the parts for the conversion. Bar change? Never looked into it, because the reason for buying it was comfort, not to spend thousands past the 20k price to get it right.

Great job on comparing the 2 love the idea of comparing similar bikes looking forward to see alot more as well as would love to see u riding them as well

I would really like you to compare the 2021 Lowrider S vs. 2021 Breakout

I just returned from my local dealer and test road the Lowrider S. Being an ex '93 and 94 FXR and '03 Road King owner, I have to admit I was impressed enough that I am considering a purchase. Handling, brakes, suspension, were way better than I had anticipated. The Lowrider checks all the boxes for my 25 year old brain, trapped in a 71 year old body. I don't care for the looks, fat tire, or graphics on the Fat Bob at all. I also currently own an '18 Triumph Speedmaster 1200. I love that bike and will keep it. Nice comparison video, thanks

For me, the Fat Bob. Chunky look and great handling in corners. It has the fresher, youthful look. (less classic). Greetings from Germany.

I love the Fat Bob, I ride a 2018 Fat Bob 114. I love the chunky front tire and the drag bar. It's a beast fore sure. Turns heads everywhere I go with it.

these two were the exact bikes I was looking at for my next upgrade from my Iron and couldn't find a decent side by side. Thanks for this. Subbed

I bought a 2021 LRS as my first Harley. As soon as I saw photos of the 2020 model year pop up I knew I'd have one in my garage. I didn't think it would be so soon. Inverted front forks, dual disc brakes, a ton of torque, and that beautiful all black finish were just a few reasons I picked it. The Fat Bob looks amazing, just not my cup of tea. As someone that went from a Yamaha R3 as my first motorcycle, to the monster that is the LRS, I could not be happier with my choice of first Harley. Being someone that is used to leaning the bike over from my small cc supersport, the LRS feels absolutely fantastic on a twisty road. As for comfort, I'm not sure why so many people say mid controls are uncomfortable. The LRS has a fantastic factory seat, bar position and foot controls. Within a week I put 700 miles on the bike, with a 250 mile trip one day. Yes, I am excited to have the engine guard installed that has rubber foot holds to stretch my legs once in a while, but mid controls are the only way I'd go. Awesome content as always mate. Cheers and ride safe.

Could you do the sport glide vs the fat bob? These are the two bikes I’m really torn between and would love to see your opinions on the two comparatively.

Love the tires and the headlight of the fat bob!

I been riding the Fat Bob 114 for about 3 years now and I love it.. I take it on long rides (12 hrs, a day) and it carves up mountains like a sport bike. It is my daily driver and is set up perfect from the factory. Small tank you get used to quick and those are definitely street tires no matter how they look. I have tried other rubber but nothing hangs onto the pavement like those OEM Dunlops. Just my opinion and experience.

I'd be happy with either, always like the mid controls and curious which one suits taller rider better. That being said the Fat Bob has won me over for nearly a decade now and keeps getting better with each year. It's an instant classic IMO.

I like the Fat Bob headlight as well. So I was wondering could you put the Fat Bob headlight on the Lowrider?

I love the Low Rider S in midnight crimson! That color is a game changer!!! Is my next bike! Greetings from Spain!✌🏾

Lowrider S is still too traditional boring Harley cruiser. The FatBob is very untraditional Harley, super mean looking, much more comfortable to ride than the Lowrider, wider handlebar for better leverage and countersteering in corners, front end feels much lighter and transitions better than the Lowrider, awesome LED headlight, more neutral upright riding position, big fat awesome tires soak up all the bumps and uneven pavement, preload adjustable on the fly..did I say that the FatBob is very Non-Harley and a fresher styling And.....those factory gold heat shields, amazing, you can put your hand on them after a ride and just slightly warm is all, no more burnt boot rubber with the FatBob exhaust Love my 2021 FatBob

I absolutely love the Fat Bob look! But I ended up buying the Low rider S for the larger tank and classic look. I chose black for the color because I felt the crimson was too muted and did nothing to add to the look of the bike. It just didn't pop in my opinion. In my perfect world I would have lost my head for the midnight Blue, but it was not to be (sigh)...

Rake & trail of these two bikes determines so much. What did you leave this out?

I choose the Fat Bob, it looks unique. Everyone & their grandmother has a Low Rider S

I couldnt decide between the two for about 6 months watched every video I could find. I think Id have been happy either way but I went for the fat bob in the end as the chunkier look and 2 up from stock ticked my boxes

Could you do a comparison between the Fat Bob and Electra Glide Standard?

Great information! I was in limbo on these two bikes until you pointed out some of these great differences. I’m going to get a fat Bob!

Hey mate. Has you opinion changed on these 2 in 2022? About to throw some Cash down this week and can’t decide between these! Cheers.

Which one of these would you say handles better. Better through corners and side to side

had to get the slim due to the tank size and forward foot controls. but i hate the spoked wheels. can i either get the fat bob wheels or low rider wheels?

I love fat bob aggressive look, probably will be getting one soon. Thanks for the review

Picking up the ‘21 Fat Bob, Billiard Red. Being a sportbike guy this one fits more my style. Looking forward to mods and making it my own. Nice review.

FXLRS does have adjustable preload, it's just under the seat.

Lowrider S rear shock preload is adjustable aswell.

I will go with the lines of the Low Rider S also prefer the bigger gas ⛽️ tank and wheels 🤟🏻 but would like to see a comparison between the Low Rider S and the Breakout 114

Is it possible you can do 2020-2021 fat bob and soft tail slim

If the LRS would have been out when I bought my FBS, i might have considered it, but it doesnt offer much of anything over my Fat Bob S to warrant trading in.

Do either of these come factory Cruise?

Pls do a comparison vid between the fat boy & RKS

I thought the Fat Bob had taller suspension at the back with more travel compared to the low rider s ? If so would that make it a more comfortable ride ?

If the Fat Bob had a bigger gas tank i would buy it tomorrow. Lot of love for the Low Rider S too. Greetings from Spain.

Compare vrod night rod special VS the fat bob. Unless you’re only comparing new bikes.

I have been waiting for this exact "vs" ..... awesome, thanks! My mind has been set on the Lowrider S as my next purchase, but after this review and looking at them longer side-by-side I think I may have to go with the Fat Bob. I actually like the big front tire and and the front end. That said though, your last comment on the Fat Bob maybe being mistaken for something other than a HD gives me a little hesitance.Is that Fat Bob still on the floor?

I have switched to Fat bob from my 2017 low rider S ✌️ I HAVE RIDING FAT BOB FOR SIX MONTH NOW , ITS AWESOME 👏, just love in it Greetings from Tokyo 🎌🏍 Nice presentation 🤙🏍🇺🇸

Would love to see the Softail Slim in this review!! So sad Harley discontinued such a beautiful bike!!

Got the Fat Bob and honestly love my bike so much it’s been a year and I love it more and more everyday

My choice in bike was a bit hectic. Right after I passed the Harley New Rider Course, I went in to see the stock at my local dealerships once. Then I found a manager's special on the 2021 Fat Bob I was eyeing on the pre-owned stock online. Another guy test drove it, and left as soon as he saw me talking to a salesman about the bike. Came back the next day, the same guy came in an hour after me, and another guy came in after him. I didn't want to let this Billiard Red Beast go so I beat them to the signing line. It was hard buying a bike just to test ride it, but since then, I have no regrets, LoL!! Fat Bob with the fat front tire, adjustable monoshock, and futuristic headlight FTW!!

Fatbob looks cool and its nice to see a bit of a style change however the pipes are too quiet ?

I don’t know if you have compared the 2 but I am new to the channel but I’m torn between the fat bob and the fat boy.. could you make a video and possibly give your opinion...

I walked my gf into the dealer to look at the S for her and she fell in love with the fat bob quicker than she did with me. Loves the brass accents, headlight and tire. On the fence with the green or black paint.

as far as variables in things like torque and horsepower can easily be changed with one tooth in a gear or the change in the size of a pulley or sprocket

I’d like to see the Softail standard vs the street bob

Congratulations for your chanel. 🤙 from Paris France Very good instructives 👍

i’ve always wanted a low rider s since i work at a harley but for some weird reason i ended up with a fat bob and i love it, 2 in 1 exhaust with 8inch risers seems to do the trick for me since im 6’0

Is the fat bob A2 compatible?

Which one would you say is better in corners and handling overall? Some people have told me the fat bob is better, while the low rider s seems to have some pride in its agility (according to the Harley website). So I’m just curious as my daily commute is a somewhat windey canyon

Lobe my FB, just wish i got a bit more out of the tank. My only gripe

I have a 08 Fatbob and a 2021 Low rider S. I love both bikes. I have been on a new Fatbob I did enjoy it. Both bikes are awesome to ride. I ended up going with the low rider S.

I would be interested to see the street bob 114 vs low rider s

That was a great video. I don’t even know how to ride but the video was still interesting

On the HD website there’s no Low Rider S. There’s a Fat Boy… Did HD discontinue them?

The FXLRS rear shock can be adjusted for added weight. It is located under the seat.

I had the first 1977 Lowrider and was my favorite of all Harley's iv'e owned and currently still have my 2005 Wide Glide EFI and made some modifacation's to it a 2008 Fatbob stock passenger seat and a set of 2009 Fatboy 17" chrome dish rims and a front Fatboy fender. I wish my Twin cam 88 was carborated instead of injection because it definately sounds better but all in all the Lowrider is my favorite next to the 1982 Sturgis.

V rod muscle vs breakout or fxr

I just bought a Fat Bob. This is my first Harley and the fact that it doesn’t look like every other Harley definitely influenced my decision. Also, I am pretty tall and would have had to put forward controls on both the Low Rider S and the Street Bob at significant additional cost, whereas the Fat Bob fits me perfectly. This video did help when I was doing my initial research!

Just test rode a fat Bob. It's a really nice looking bike in person and rides really well. Great comparison video!

Can you get the fat tire on the front of low rider

Both bikes are gorgeous, I still can’t decide

Please provide the price teg

I bought the Low Rider S. I personally like how I sit on it more. Especially with the handlebars. I've put 2,200 miles on it this month and can't complain one bit. I wanted a bike that would let me pull into the turns with ease. After driving the Fat Bob I did notice a slight need to counter steer more than I did with the Low Rider S and when I'm just driving along that comfort mattered to me. Plus Mid controls on that bike made the sale. I'm one of those people that don't need to change much and don't want to have to change it. I just want to enjoy the ride. Also I hated the look of the pipes and where they were positioned on the Fat Bob. That was my main complaint with it. The bigger tank on the Low Rider S definitely made the sale that much easier

Last year I would have said the Low Rider. However my son bought a Fat Bob, and it is fantastic. I have to say the Fat Bob. I have grown to love the look and ride. The adjustable suspension is huge as well! (Of course, I actually prefer my Road King above all!)😉

I just purchased a 2021 Low rider S in midnight crimson. Optional premium seat. Leather saddle bags. When it gets here I will order a chrome sissy bar with luggage rack.

The fat Bob is the performance soft tail. Should come with mid controls that Harley offers as a new option. Also, sport performance tires should be on the fat Bob. If Harley would use some aluminum and carbon fiber, weight could be below 600 pounds which would help acceleration, braking, and handling. I love the Fat Bob. Almost bought one but went with a KTM Super Duke 1290r. TFT dash, stability control with IMU Standard with TC/ABS. 180 horsepower/104 pound feet torque, 460 pounds.

Glad I went with the Fat Bob!! Love it!! Mine is all blacked out!

Is the Low Rider S cheaper? Damn Sweden if that is the case. Here its the other way around

I would be happy with either both are beautiful and in my opinion best that Harley offers!

Great video. With a fairing and two into one exhaust the fat Bob looks wayyy better IMO

The Low Rider S does have an adjustable shock like the Fat Bob does, only it is under the seat. Yes, it is not convenient, but it is adjustable as well. Love mine.

Could you fit a 5 gallon tank on the FatBob?

i own a 2018 Fatbob. I was hoping you would choose the Fatbob, but its cool. Both are beautiful bikes.

No question if your goal is performance. Lowrider S with longer shock (or shock extension), true mid controls, pipe, and a tune.

I love the Low rider S. However… you put a 2017 or older fat bob in front of me, id prefer that. I just can’t get on board of the box headlamp on these new models

It’s kind of hard to talk about anything right now since Harley Davidson has released the new Sportster S. The revolution max engine is a standard that HD can not keep suppressed, they have to build on this engine technology going forward.

Low rider s whatelse??

Has much changed in 2023?

Low rider with the headlight from fatbob and afatter forks with the adjustable suspension would do it for me

Does anyone watching this have any experience comparing these two on the highway at higher speeds for longer rides?

Fat Bob has the best look and was the easy choice for me personally until I heard the tank size, don't want to be the reason a group ride has to keep stopping when everyone else is hitting half to a quarter tank still. Hopefully they will increase the tank size to 5 gallon next year!!

Great review! Good points. Both are good bikes, I wouldn't complain if you gave me either ;)

Will be picking up one of these bikes in 2 weeks. Cant decide but leaning towards lowrider s cause of mid controls, smaller front tire, and the 117 and guage on the 22

Own FLXRS love it. Making it a mini bagger. Will probably pick-up a fat Bob as well

can you the fatbob vs the indian chief??

Would a Fat Bob be too big for a beginner rider? By beginner I mean I need to take an MSF course and get on a bike for the very first time kind of beginner. I'm 5'10" about 215 lbs (in decent shape). Thanks in advance to anyone who answers!

Timms Harley-Davidson is amazing i just got the red 120'th anniversary heritage ftrom them. Wonderful dealer

Just Bought the Fatbob 114 to Park next to my Heritage 114

The one thing that really puts me off the Lowrider is the rear light - I know it's a modern take on classic rears but it just looks weird sticking out so far. Both of these were on my shortlist but I chose the Bob in the end.

Should do the Fat bob vs Indian scout bobber or the chief bobber

I like the beefy look of the Fat Bob, but that small tank is definitley a turn off. I had the same thoughts on the Breakout. My Yamaha Stryker has a 4 gal tank and I wish it had more. Hate worrying about having enough fuel. One ride I went on, I almost didn't have enough. Out of these two, I'd go with the LR S.

I like both but I've have my eye on the low-low.
