My First Post
Well for the 2015 FLTRXS 
I Noticed HD went back to:
Liking the 20/50 HD 360 no sytec stuff
500 mile break in
No Trickle Charger
Question Lowers - I have them but wow the opening is small
I know there's this spot that looks like where the radiator should be , do I leave that off ?

I know everybody has an opinion on break-in but I'll always take it really easy for the first 50 miles, then very gradually increase rpm till I reach about 1,000 miles.
You will not get that first 50 miles back.

I break it in hard for the first 20-30 miles, change the oil, then continue with the alternating RPM's for the remainder of the time.

Seat those rings so no oil use.

Yes those lower fairing vents are very small comparing to pre 14 but pretty effective and sturdy not as clumsy as I had on our 07 and 08 UC. Where Twin cool has radiators that part stays close there is no opening but I could be wrong since our both are twin cooled and has radiator screens.
