Modest Street Bob Makes the Grade in New Softail Lineup
By Bruce Montcombroux

What do you think of the redesigned Street Bob?

 

Needs a real gas tank.

 

Looks the same to me.

 

I just don't like it as much as the old style. The tank is too small, the rear fender looks like an abortion, the pipes suck, and I feel like the whole thing looks boxy.
I do like the fork boots and the bars, but other than that not much appeal for me.

 

In my uneducated opinion... Back fender needs a few more inches over the rear of the tire, tank needs to extend to get rid of some of that blank space between those two chrome frame bolts and the ends of mufflers need to be tapered thinner, or the pipes leading to them need to be bigger diameter, seems like a big contrast between small pipes to much larger. Again, just my opinion.

 

I traded my 17RKS for a run out 18 Street Bob (FXBB) and I love it , I think my subconscious is planning to buy a Livewere but hasn't told me yet. These are a great entry level cruiser and so much fun to scoot around on.,

Peace.

 

I kinda like it

 

That's what makes the Harleys so great in my opinion. One man sees a turd, the next guy sees a gem.

 

Heres what I dont get - Why the hell is the CCE doing a current write up on a bike 2 model years old? Guess I needs to pay the electric bill. As si said the last time he did this - my editor would have my nuts if I delivered crap like this.

 

My son has an 18 (looks the same) I like it
