Default New Roadster Roll Call





Show and tell
Screaming eagle slip-ons
DK customs 606 outlaw intake
Power vision tune from fuel Moto
National cycle flyscreen
HD nostalgic grips
DK 1.5" risor extensions
HD saddlebag support
Badg&customs bag
HD toolbar
C&C seat
LED signals, plug and play
Rear suspension set at 1st dot even though manual says 4th for my weight, much more comfortable that way. Love front end-breaks, stiffness, suspension. Stock mapping was smooth, but stage 1 improves smoothness, throttle response, pick-up. Stock seat too skinny and soft for 215 lbs, C&C is a big improvement, not up to mustang wide solo. However moved me back 2" so made bars more of a reach at 6', but it lets me move around. Love it's handling in the corners. 3rd and favorite Sportster.

Anyone add taller riser to a new Roadster yet? I like the bike, but the bars need 1" - 1.5" lift for me.

I haven't done much with mine yet. But upping the bars will be on the list.

I did remove all the heat shields from the headers and the muffler. I don't have a picture to post of it yet but it looks more like a hot rod without them. Removed the passenger pegs as I will do a solo seat.

Added an oil cooler.

The only other mods will be a turner and a intake. Not concerned about the warranty concerns with a tuner as I will take care of it myself.

Added a small wind screen from an old Softail springer. Just need to get it out and ride more. Only have about 1,200 miles on it so far.

Typical of any past XL (4) motors that I have broken in. It used about a quart the first 1K and I expect it will use a half quart the next 1K then settle down to not being noticeable on the dipstick at 5K.

All else is stock and set at factory spec. Like it so far although have been working too much to really get out and ride it.

Not much has been changed as of yet. Biltwell Moto bars and renegade grips.
