Risen from the ashes of the Dynas, the Street Bob was rebuilt and reintroduced as a Softail
The Harley-Davidson lineup underwent some serious changes in MY2018, and the chopped-down, Dyna-based Street Bob was rebuilt and reintroduced as a Softail model. Not only did it switch to Harley’s faux-rigid style frame, but the frame itself was completely reinvented to the point where it bears little resemblance to the original that saw the light of day for the first time back in ’84. Sure, it still has that classic Softail visage, but the factory achieved it in a totally different way this time, and any perceived similarities are only skin deep. To add to the revamp, the Street Bob was on the receiving end of a beating-heart transplant with the addition of the then-new-to-cruisers, Milwaukee-Eight 107 powerplant that brings over 100 pounds of grunt to the table. The Street Bob has more power, new frame, and a new family/model combination as it rolls through to 2020.
More on the Harley-Davidson Street Bob
The popularity of the Evo-powered Dyna-version of the Street Bob would lead it to crossover to the new Softail frame circa 2018 for a new lease on life. It’s worth pointing out that less than a handful of the old Dyna models made that leap, and that speaks volumes to the potential the factory still sees in the Street Bob.
The first three year-models of the new Softail era would carry the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine. But the MoCo gave it a boost with its 114 cubic-inch M8 ahead of 2021 to add an element of improved performance to its old-school custom machine. It’s a fitting move considering that many of the details that make this model what it is are borne of homegrown performance tweaks such as the drilled-out exhaust shields and front fender struts.
