Have you sold your Rineharts yet? I might be interested, PM me if you're still looking to get rid of them.

As for the ride after installing the H-D Low profile rear monoshock: I realy can't tell any difference, except I can reach the ground better. I had sat of a '17 Deluxe that felt lower than what I have now, but that was quite awhile ago. I have a Reach seat that puts me more forward and lower and gives me a feel of being "in the Bike" even before the Installation. So I can't say that has changed at all.

I'm not a very agressive rider so I have not scraped the floor boards before or after installing the Lower shock. When I first got the bike, I had not ridden a bike of that size before, and was having a great deal of trouble doing tight turns, especialy U-turns. As a result I have had to do a lot of slow circles, figure eights and u-turns in a parking lot near me. I'm still practicing and have now done these figures before and after the installation with out any noticable difference. Got my circles down to about a 40 foot square box and much more comfortable with making a U-turn (a popular necessity on these devided highways here in Central Florida).

I am scheduled to have the front H-D Lowprofile Front suspension done by the dealer next Tuesday, 5/29. They will also be installing the shorter Jiffy stand then as recommended by H-D. If the rain here in Central Florida ever goes away, maybe by next week I should be able to give another impression of what the overall effect is then.
Thanks Frank! Your tank looks great. The painter did a really nice job...very classy. I appreciate the feedback on the lowered shock too. I can flat foot (just), but I was tempted by the lowered look. I may try a thinner seat first, but it’s nice to hear that it didn’t mess up the ride or handling. Thanks again!

My Saddleman LS seat arrived and is now installed. Now if it would only stop raining I could try it out.

I guess we can always use the rain. But give me a break going on two weeks and still rain in the forecast. Geez!
Cheers

Default Footpeg question

Hi

I'm considering swapping my 15 Street Glide for an 18 Heritage Classic. My wife insists on floorboards for the pillion but I can't see any in the parts catalog. Has anyone looked into this and found a solution to the stock footpegs?

Cheers

John, UK

I can't find anything yet, this is a problem Harley needs to address. Was looking at something like this, but prefer boards. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...c3d7cd66778449

Thrashin' Supply makes some footpeg-replacement floorboards. A little pricey at $380/set, and they say they're driver boards, so I don't know if they'd work for you. DK Custom has said they'll be adapting theirs later this year.

Kuryakyn has these listed as "coming soon", they say they'll fit driver or passenger peg locations.

Don't think they will work as passenger boards on the left side of the'18 Heritage. I believe the Clutch cover would interfere. Any aftermarket left side passenger board would need to be shaped to clear the Clutch cover.
