just returned from a 2 up trip to Yellowstone, about 2100 miles total in 7 days, just keep the daily mileage reasonable and is not bad, the Low Rider handles very well loaded for travel, just need a bit more luggage space.

30 states, 6 provinces...we've both tried the FLH's, we've both found them too heavy. Her Low Rider has since this picture gained a Mustang touring solo and all is now perfect. I ride an FXDF; last bike was an FXDXT

Buy a set of leather pros tsport bags and get a Jd fairing and call it a day

it's for your lady so unless she's 6'4 you will not have buffeting issues.

That option will be the easiest on and off set up so you can go touring to stripped down Dyna relatively quickly

I have an 2014 Fat Bob and put on a Memphis Shades Batwing fairing and the Tsukayu Hardbags...Makes for a great Bagger. I'm also thinking about putting on floorboards.

How much would it cost to convert my Miata into a Grand Marquis?

Or...



God knows, I've got no right to criticize another mans build, but it just seems a person with the means to buy/own 3 bikes already, shouldn't mess around trying to change the basic nature of a bike. Just trade one of your Dynas for a touring model that suits your needs.

I don't know much about these brakes, but I would believe that the larger rotor would provide better braking. This is something I have been thinking about going to.


15" big brake full rotor w/ stock caliper relocation bracket

Was going to post the same thing. Why not go with a Switchback?
