Ultra Low

Finally sat on one of these and I was impressed. Sits lower than my SG and the bars are very comfortable. The grips are puny, but that is easily remedied. I also didn't think the seat was as much of a ball smasher as I anticipated. I think Harley did a nice job on these. Looking forward to giving one a test run when the weather improves.

And...did you buy it, or own it too?

Umm . . . No. Just stating my first impressions of it. If it were in stock at the time I bought my 2014 SG, it would have been a major consideration. I know I didn't report anything groundbreaking, but wanted to share a few quick thoughts for others who may be considering one but don't have access to it.

I just turned 3200 miles on my low. I changed the seat, windshield, mufflers, highway pegs shortly after purchase. The seat shoved me into the gas tank and lower fairings. I will reinstall the seat when I purchase the next bike. By the way, I love the new low, after a few adjustments. I relicensed the power vision and added a fuel moto air cleaner. I think the bike is faster than my 13 cvo ultra.

I got 632 miles on my new Low just before we got six inches of snow. I'm grounded 'till spring. The Mustang Low seat fit my '15 so I installed that, but it actually sets me a tad higher than the Low's seat so it's over at Mean City getting modified. I actually grew to like the dainty hand grips in those few miles, I don't think I'll change them. I have fuelmoto cermic coat headpipe and V&H monster ovals just setting there waiting for me to install. Then it's off to the dealer for SE air, a tuner and some dyno time. Didn't get many miles on the bike before winter, but I haven't found anything about the bike (except seat) that I don't like.

I sat on the Lows at my dealer as well. I had a similar reaction to the bikes. I love the stance, but was not sold on those new bars. Those grips seem very puny. After sitting on one I got the correct shocks front and rear to lower my Limited to the Low level. I did not change out the engine parts to make that slimmer. I will see if I need to do that next year after I get a few miles on it.

I'm not willing to swap the passenger foot boards for the Low passenger foot pegs. Overall, I think swapping the primary and derby cover was worth it for me...YMMV.
