Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob reviews

I love this bike and hate it about the same. Factory stock this bike soon needs rider pegs, grips, repairs. Had brand new since 2007 and we’re passing 54,000 miles together. You want to customize your bike anyway so when the pegs started sagging and the grips started becoming rubbery sticky is wasn’t a big deal. The first major thing was the engine stutter on acceleration. Found out the wiring harness didn’t allow for the engine torque stretched the rear injector connector and starts giving you rear injector open error code. My fender fluff and I are motor heads so we have started doing 100 percent of our own repairs. Took him in (yea his name is Dane) for the 10k and 20k but after costing about a grand to do the service and having to readjust the setup we like we are 100 percent home maintenance. Another problem since purchase is if we go over a mountain pass or have a major air temp/density change the bike will shut down and we have to off/on the emc to reset the engine electronics. A growling sound at idle and in neutral ended up being primary inner bearing failure. We’ve had nearly every imaginable problem and repair at 54k miles. A new set of tires every year that cost as much as 4 new tires for the car. We love to ride but man does it get frustrating at times. Fluff told me to shut up and ride so …… see ya out there Show less

John, the salesman, was impeccable. He was very honest and transparent about this bike but what stands out the most was his polite demeanor, which i have found to be uncommon in the HD dealerships. 10/10 would buy the RIGHT bike from him but this WAS NOT IT. This bike had scratches allllllll over the tank, gouges in the headlight fairing, rust, a gouge on the exhaust and several other cosmetic issues. He told me it had come from a training class and it was the last one of five that they had received. I did not test drive it because I was so cranky about the cosmetic issues. I should have known it was too good to be true for that price. The only redeeming factor was John being so personable. He gets 5 stars from me but the bike was a mess. Show less

This bike is not the photo and they lied about the odometer. Ask for pics it’s garbage and is above 7k mileage. They tried to scam me for a $500 deposit. (Which I wouldn’t have gotten back) Buyers look somewhere else. Show less

The Street Glide redefines and refreshes the riding experience all over again. It handles, rides,complies,accelerates, stops, and maneuvers better than any bike it's size has a right to. The SG will make you fall deeper in love with riding than you thought possible. Comfort is astonishing even after hours in the saddle. You will never regret pulling the trigger on a nice Street Glide. Show less

I purchased a 2021 Street Glide that I am disappointed with. It has less than a thousand miles and already the engie and ABS light have come on. It jackrabbits when shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. I had it checked out and was told that there was nothing wrong with it. Now two weeks later, the engie light and ABS light are on. This is the third new harley that I've purchased and every one of them have broken down with less than a thousand miles on them. This will be my last harley! Show less

After 4 weeks of riding, the engine just suddenly stopped while I was cruising at 45 mph, like I had pressed the engine's off switch. I rolled to the side, turned off and on the ignition again and it started like normal. It seems this is pretty normal for these bikes according to many Harley members on a forum. Even HD mechanics wasn't sure what it was since it's difficult to replicate the problem since it is happening rare and very random. Some said it could happen 3 times a month, others 1 time per year. The second problem with the bike is the riding position = the air filter and engine is so big and wide that your legs get spread out way too much, making it hard to reach break pedal. Another problem with this is wind during higher speeds: At 70 to 80 mph the wind will hit your spread out legs so hard that it feels you will lose grip on the foot-pegs. So you sort of hold on to the bike as you feel the wind will pull you off. Another issue with the bike is the dreaded fork "clunk" = every time you hit a small bump in the road or breaks a bit hard on your forward breaks your forks will give this metallic "clunk" sound. This is apparently something that is normal with the bikes and HD mechanics says it's just the way it's constructed. Also on forums many have various meanings why this sound occurs. All from lose gas tank, not enough oil in the forks, or some bolts not screwed tight enough. But none seems to be able to fix this. Also having 70 hp, the bike's torque and acceleration is very bad. Maybe it's due to it's heavy weight of 661 lbs or just old engine technology. My 1400 Intruder with it's 60 hp would smoke this heavy hog any day. Coming back to my Intruder after many weeks of riding the Harley I came to a conclusion = The Harley felt like something from world war 2. Noisy, shaky and unreliable with bad performance. The Intruder outperforms the Harley in every department. It even looks slicker and cooler. I am selling my Harley and will keep the best cruiser bike I ever ridden Show less

My first Harley Davidson from transitioning from sports bike riding for the last 20 years. Love the ride this Harley provides and the quality. Still getting used to the ride but after making some specific modifications and changing some things around, I am getting it to where I want it. I have become a big Harley fan just in a matter of months. The camaraderie between the Harley base is like none other. Looking forward to some long rides and creating memories. Show less

If you have the money it is worth it to buy a CVO if you like a bike loaded. By the time that you add chrome and accessories to a non-cvo you get up there in price anyway. You get a 110 motor and the paint is way better than a stock bike. They seem to hold their value better also. Show less

Was an amazing experience. Was very effortless. I was able to look at many motorcycles until I found the best fit for me. Navigating through the website was a joy. The large selection of bikes along with tons of information on each individual bike was great. Show less
