So this is the distortion I was talking about on my replacement windshield. I was thinking of trimming off an inch myself, but the distortion will still be there. It's mostly about 3" from the edge, all the way around.





Is this normal, or should I be returning it? I sent these picks to the mfg.

Curved Chrome License Plate from HD, it mounts to the back of the turn signal bar. Very easy to mount.

 

Got caught in a heavy downpour and thoroughly soaked. Are these security key fobs rain proof? Some threads say only good for light rain while others say throw it in the washing machine. First bike with security. Really prefer having a barrel key and no security.

 

 

Bailer, your going to love it. I haven't got it set up at the moment so can't post any pics but I know for solo overnighter's, thats how I will run. It is just so god damned comfortable and really is another experience all together.
Your backs going to also love it.

 

So now that the bike has been out for well over 1/2 a year, has anyone seen any companies offering a MODEL SPECIFIC fender bib for our bike? I have found a couple of custom shops but not really down with paying 160 bucks for a bib.

 

Reich002, Yes I put it on my Heritage. worth every penny. way better than F11 or other products. If you search F11 threads you will see a lot of discussion on products to use. search under the general harley chat section. Also check out eaglefan1 posts about it. I really like the product, saves time on waxing and protects WAY better than others.

 

Who has a rattling gas cap? Mine does at all speeds and revs. Annoying and a poor design.

 

In my previous post of a few days ago I talked about having Installed the H-D Low profile rear shock on my '18 Heritage and what a difference that made for me, this vertically challanged rider, to reach the ground. I did the install myself with no problem. However, I just did not feel I had the capability (or the specialized tools needed) to install the H-D Low Profile front suspension, so I had the dealer do it today. With both installed, it lowers the bike overall one inch, but it feels like a lot more. I can now flat foot both feet at the same time with a slight bend in the knee...With just the lower rear shock I really had to stretch to get both feet on the ground at the same time.

Here is the major benefit for me you taller riders take for granted: I can now stop while keeping my right foot on the brake while putting my left foot down supporting the bike comfortably. In the past I had to imediately get both feet down to make sure I could hold up the bike. Made for some poor looking uncomfortable unballanced stops.

The description of the H-D Low Profile Front and Rear kits state they were designed to maintain ride and handeling. I could not agree more. I don't feel any difference in the ride at all. It may have decreased the lean angle a smidgen, but since I'm not an agressive rider, I can't tell if there is any difference. For some reason, probably the lower center of gravity, the bike just feels much lighter and that makes me a more comfortable rider.

With the lowered Front and Rear suspension, H-D requires the Jiffy Stand be changed for a shorter one, which I had them do at the same time. While stock, the bike always felt like it was about to fall over when set onto the Jiffy stand. After being lowered, even with the shorter stand, the bike now feels more stable when setting onto the stand. Parked lean is about the same, just more stable putting it there. Again, the lower center of gravity makes if feel lighter when setting onto the Jiffy Stand.

Drawbacks...yeah, cost. Parts are bad enough at $389 for the rear shock, $129 for the frront suspension parts and $189 for the replacement Jiffy stand. Labor to install the Front suspension and Jiffy stand over $600. Ouch!!

But WHAT A DIFFERENCE AN INCH MAKES !!!!!!!!!!!! You have to be a comfortable rider to enjoy the ride. Now I am, so I guess it is worth it.

Oh, and yes, the bike does look better, at least to me.
