Done deal. Got a great trade on the Sportster being that I've bought three bikes from Savannah HD. Good people.

Just came straight home for lunch. First impressions:

The 110" motor has guts. Much more than my 103 Dyna when it was stock. I still need to break it in, so more on that later.

It's strange to sit so low. I've never had a ST, some some new sensations all around.

I've dragged the left board twice in 20 miles of ownership. We'll see if I can tolerate that for long. Either adjust or change some parts.

Fit and finish is really good. They put some effort into the concept and the build.

The black powder coated parts stink a little after getting hot. I'll burn off the new today.

The Hollywood bars were a risk for me. I like firm dirt-bike style control of a bike, but surprisingly they work well. Pulled back a little, my wrists are in a neutral position.

Hydraulic clutch is new to me too, but smooth and linear. Good call by the HD team.

Throttle by wire is seamless and has no jerkiness like my BMW did when new.

The low seat and floorboards make for a slight cramped seating position. I'm 6'2" and would like to sit higher. I think I'll put my Mother Road Customs spring seat on the bike.

Speaking of footboards, I've never had them or a hell/toe shifter. Love h boards, the shifter is weird. Probably some saddle time will fix that feeling.

I ordered a solo LH swing arm bag and some better grips. Other than these two items and the spring seat, I think this bike has everything I need (It's not normal for me to leave a bike alone, but I'm going to try.) Maybe some slip-ons. It has a good sound, but could be better.

Anyway, I'm very happy with the deal.

 

That bike is beautiful. It is one that I would consider too if I decide I want something different than my Sportster (well that and an influx of cash).

Good luck with it. More important, have fun and stay safe.

 

congrats looks nice, i like the exhaust look now, so if you could get slip ons that look the same would be win win, and it´s ready for led rear light on the fender

Dude that bike is wicked. Congrats and keep us updated with your mods.

 

OK, I hate you! I test drove that thing 5 times over the weekend. I fell in love. Best thing Harley is making at the moment. Congratulations on a great purchase.

 

Thanks guys. I'm off for 100 miles of break-in.

Very few mods coming. That's my mantra. I spent a lot of money on my Sportster Cafe and promised my wife that this bike needs very few changes. It's actually true.

Well, SE has the Street Cannon slipons, but other than that.....

 

Congratulations!!!

On the shifter... I never got used to it... just remove the rear portion and install a nice looking cover.

Floorboards... yeah baby! Even have them on my Sportster...but you know that, lol.

Harley hit a home run with this bike...imho of course... the color and graphics are very appealing... sweeten by the 110 engine... man! I would install a Bobcat exhaust with the black and carbon fiber finish, some get-a-grip grips for comfort, side saddle bag for the stuff needed for the road... and call it a day! I am 5'7" so the stock seat setup fits me fine.

Sweet bike!!

Wish you many happy and safe miles!!!

 

Ohh... and time to update you signature!! lol

 

No, no, no!! That is the whole point... this bike is best left alone as much as possible... the beauty of it is that it looks great as is... I would not do much to it...

It reality, it would best as a replacement to the Sportster... just like what you did. But I just can't get rid of mine

 

Wow - stunning machine.
Congrats
