finished installing the chin spoiler tonight.gives it a different look.

 

One thing is fixing things that should be kept clean and simple. I hope someone from the factory is reading this.

The handlebar risers on the Low Rider are somewhat to completely useless and have little or no function but to annoy and frustrate me the owner. I tried to adjust it and was brought to the conclusion that it will have to go away, maybe back to the factory for recycling.

Removing the eyebrow, getting a headlight relocation kit to clean up that mess, new riser maybe handlebar and be done with that.

 

Looks nice, like the look.

 

Love it, but feel I got horrible gas mileage. The mags are a different look than harley mags in the past, but same old pitting and staining have started already. Only 780 miles.

 

I actually like the handlebar design...it can be adjusted for both pullback and the bar position...after a few adjustments, I have the bars set up just right for me. I have no problems with the front turn signals...they are not even close to hitting the tank.


Hope you get yours sorted out to your satisfaction...so far, I'm really liking the new Low Rider. I've had mine for one month and have 960 miles on it...gonna hit the 1000 mile mark today and get the 1000 service done this week.

 

I'm in agreement. I adjusted mine to perfect position for me. For me it was a 2-step process. 1) rotate the riser back, 2) rotate the bars so ends are at original height (where the blinkers clear the tank).

 

Love the look of the chin spoiler.

 

Has anyone here spent much time on both standard mid controls and the further forward mids that come on the Low Rider? I'm just wondering how they compare.

 

I went from standard mids, to forwards. But my reason was arthritic hips.

 

The mid controls I would say that are so far back they should be called rear controls are uncomfortable for me, cramped cruisin, one of the reasons I did not get a street bob. The forward mids are much more comfortable, however I just got reduced reach forward controls, I did not care for the index on the brake pedal, right foot shouldn't have to bend that way to get the brake going. I don't wear tall boots that cover my pants so when the mid/rear control footpegs snag and catch up my pants and folds the peg up = GRRR.

If you are over 5' 9" you might like the more forward controls, overall its a preference.
