Yeah.. The good thing is that Bagger Nuts can be adapted to this chassis arrangement easily..

I am having an issue with what oil to run,

No really if that tuner is back order that sucks. I ordered my bike as well as all the stuff to make it the 114", i won't be happy if i can't get that stuff. The techs aren't trained in it yet, but really motors are motors, i have faith they can get it together. Plus i have a 7 year warranty so if there are any issues. I am assuming those back ordered products will start clearing now that the dealer show is done.

Yea, thats my problem also. The ones I rode were really good running bikes and they were not even broke in yet. I bet Harley sells a bunch of these.

The first '17 my dealer got in was a King in Blue/Silver. She was a sight to see.






Meanwhile, looks like my new one (or at least the one I'd buy) just rolled off the truck:

Just curious as why a "bone stock" bike that will out perform MOST of the modified Harley's on the road is a problem?
