Harley Davidson FXBBS Softail Street Bob 114 2024 Service Manual

Cycle World's own summary nails the Street Bob 114's positioning in one line: take everything solid about the Softail Standard, drop in the larger Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine, add flash paint, and cut back the chrome. It's the formula that's made this bike a perpetual favorite as a build platform — "stripped down for the street" isn't just marketing copy, it's genuinely how the bike ships.

The Milwaukee-Eight 114 displaces 113.99 cubic inches via a 4.0 in. bore and 4.5 in. stroke, with a 10.5:1 compression ratio delivering loads of low-end torque through electronic sequential port fuel injection and a 2-into-2 offset shotgun exhaust. A dual-bending-valve 49mm telescopic fork with aluminum triple clamps and dual-rate springs handles front suspension, while the stiff, lightweight Softail frame delivers a genuinely responsive ride behind its classic hardtail-look lines.

Styling leans hard into the bob aesthetic: six-spoke Annihilator cast wheels with fierce, angular lines, a two-up setup with passenger pegs and pillion for genuine 2-up capability despite the stripped-down look, and a 2.14-inch LCD instrument display. Dimensions run 91.3 in. long with a 30-degree rake and 64.2 in. wheelbase, riding on a 100/90B19 front and 150/80B16 rear tire, with a 3.5-gallon tank. Shipped weight comes in at 631 lbs (655 lbs in running order). 2024 colors included Baja Orange, Blue Burst, Billiard Gray, and Vivid Black, with pricing starting at $16,999.
