Where are all the lowrider guys at? Thought we'd see some action here.
Hey John Same here i bought the same about 3 yrs ago for my previous 2005 sportster took it off when i sold her and Bammo slapped it on the Low rider looks Mint bro

I understand. Been down the upgrade road many times.

I'm really happy with it. I will add a couple things but will mostly be creature comfort items.

If anyone is looking for a new HD sissy bar and luggage rack let me know. Seeing as the new softails are so model specific I figured I would let the low rider guys know as the sport glide and low rider share the same luggage racks. Only ask $210 for both pieces to fourm members.

I originally bought it from HD for my 2018 Road King. I kept it when I traded it in and it fit right on my 18 Low Rider. It is an LED. HD normally stocks them and it was $159.00

I added a black SE air filter to offset some of the chrome I added. I already had the SE mufflers. I will add a stage1 tune in the morning.

Very nice, I am running open exhaust on my street bob no mufflers. I was told don't do a different air cleaner because it will run lean. For me this motor is a monster. Its like driving a sportster with a M8 in it. I never tried it, but i am pretty certain it will wheelie off the line.

If you change your air cleaner a tune would help that. Must be loud. What do you have drag pipes?
