I just snagged my deadwood green 114 over the weekend! So far it's super fun. I've only noticed oil coming from the shift shift at the cover AND at the trans. Only 65 miles on it. Hoping after 100 it stops, or it's going in to be fixed. Other than that, loving it. You're bike is dialed! Looks clean
It’s not as loud as a Bassani RR3 but it sounds good when you get on it but quiet enough not to any neighbors on startup.
There are two versions of the S&S the regular version is a lot more quieter then the one with the Race only stamped on it. I had to return the non race version as the dealer ordered and installed the non race and it sounded like the crap HD stock pipes. Non race is also Almost 400 bucks cheaper.
S&S street sport non race part# 550-0789B
S&S street sport race version part #550-0788
You will also need the S&S brake pedal kit to install it on a 21 street bob 114 #560-0259A
I'm playing nice with EPA for now. Putting the 50-state on and using the HD tuner. Warranty-friendly performance.
I'm sure everyone says this at first but I feel like even bone stock with that 114 it's got more zip than I'm likely to use
I just bought a 2022 SB 114 and I love it. It runs great and will $hit and get.

Yesterday I went to the dealership for a service on my Heritage and while they were working I went to try out a Street Bob 114 to complete my impressions of the Softail range, all I'm missing is Fat Boy and the Breakout.
I've been interested in the Street Bob for a while for its stripped down, simple look of a modern Bobber Chopper and I couldn't wait to try it out.
So I went for a short ride of about half an hour and 20 miles on a small winding road in the first half and a return via a highway.
My first impression concerns the position which surprised me, I expected to be cramped with this saddle which is closer than the Sport Glide one which I mounted on my LRS and the mid controls which are also the same than on my LRS, but ultimately I immediately found myself comfortable with the handlebars which provide a relaxing position, but I think it would be better for comfort to mount forward controls more in the spirit of this model.
On the first part of the ride the handling is amazing, the steering is very light and immediately inspires confidence, so much so that I was also surprised when I picked up my HeritageI by the heaviness of the steering compared to the Street Bob, for it's a very easy bike too, riding at low speed and in small roundabouts are very easy, in the twisties leaning is done without forcing and instinctively whereas I am obliged to insist a little on counter-steering with the LRS, I don't think it's due to the width of the tire which is hardly different between a 100 and a 110, but rather to the width of the fork, its rake and also its lower weight with a single disc and thinner tubes, in any case it's a pleasure to wind the turns without forcing. The return by the expressway at 70 allows you to appreciate the handlebars which you can hold on to and it is quite bearable, but I think that a windshield will be necessary for long journeys and to protect yourself from the cold in winter.
About comfort, I think it should go with a better saddle and shock absorber from Heritage like I fitted on my LRS.
The engine is full of torque but lacks a little flexibility due to a lack of break-in.
In conclusion, I really like this motorcycle which provides a great feeling of freedom with its minimalist speedometer and its position which invites you to take a leisurely ride as I like, less aggressive and sporty than the LRS, and I think it could make a good, simple and effective traveling companion...
Will see in the future...
I found it was better stock on the Street Bob that I've tried than on my LRS with the setting I've made, it's just a problem of pedal angle, easily fixable, not a deal breaker...
love this Street Bob, just the cast wheels that don't match with the spirit of this bike...

I second this. I found the same lackluster rear brake performance as it was setup from the dealer. A couple minutes spent playing with the adjuster and bringing the brake lever higher up alleviated that and when I need to use that rear brake I can confidently do so now. Also replacing the pads from the stock ones helps tremendously.
MXJunky put a Cobra Speedster 909 exhaust and Arlen Ness Super Sucker air filter (with PV3 canned tune) on his '21. MXJ added some DEI exhaust wrap to the headers (the first bike he saw with an exhaust wrap was at the Washougal MX Park back in 1994 and he thought that bike looked tough as hell).
