On showroom floor. Went in to ride the street Bob when sales guy told me to try the LR as well. Decision was easy after riding both. The color grew on me as riding and happy I chose it.

Anyway after reinstalling tank, poured in 1 gal, rode 1 mile to station, took 3.95 gal, capacity is almost 5 gal, but I am guessing their spec of 4.7 gal is about correct for usable capacity. just some FYI if anyone interested.
Good info my friend, thanks for this post.
Have you ever tested the accuracy of the fuel range?

Took my bike in for the 5000 mile service yesterday. All went well. As I was talking to the Service Manager, he said the only thing that he could see was tire pressure. Told me tires were 41 PSI rear and 32 PSI front. Told me to keep them properly inflated to insure long tire life. Said I should be at 38 PSI front and I cannot recall what he claimed for the rear. I told him that the owner's manual said 40 PSI rear and 30 PSI front. I then asked how I was suppose to know the "real" tire pressure if the manual was basically off 8 pounds.


What are you running for PSI front and rear?

Mine are at 32 front and 40 rear. I am running 32 on the front on advice from the dealer where I bought the bike. To be honest I can't feel any difference between 30 and 32 and I doubt that small amount would effect wear that much. They both look to be wearing well but I see I will need a new rear around 8,000 miles.

You were at the right place at the right time. I called HD dealers all over northern IL and not only could none get me a LR in Amber Whiskey, not a single salesman I talked to had actually seen one in that color.

For the little extra money a LR costs over a SB, it is money well spent.

I agree. Just would like to stop spending money on mods and changes.

Has anyone used the DK customs Stealth adjustable highway peg mounting kit. They are the only black coated highway pegs that bolt on to the forward control frame mounting location

I ran a lot of the gas out before removing tank, gauge was on empty, computer said around 30 miles remaining, tank still had a full gallon plus about another pint. figure when gauge on empty, still have about 35 to 40 miles remaining depending on riding conditions.

No. The dealer does not offer a nitrogen service. I have my own air compressor at home and that is what I use.

Where did you get the nitrogen?
