Those forward controls on the Fat Bob are not as forward as the ones on my Dyna. They don't give you that feeling that all your weight is on your butt.

Tell me more about your exhausts. I have the same exact bike but with the original exhaust pipes. I really like yours, how do they sound.
Thanks

Hey, they're RC Components Slip Ons. When I bought my bike the dealer had 2 identical sitting side by side, one with stock pipes and this one. I started them both up and this won hands down. Loud, not obnoxious but how a Harley should sound. That's my wife's description. They have a deep rumble. She had an '03 Dyna Low Rider with V&H Big Shot Staggered's and they remind me of those but not quite as loud as they were.

Can't find your mufflers on the RC components website http://www.rccomponents.com/rcxhaust...ons-3-inch.htm
Just wondering if I am missing something.

Hmmm, doesn't appear like you are. I did find a 3" slash cut but the models listed stop at 2016 so they probably wouldn't work. I tried emailing them but their "Contact Us" page throws an error. I'll try that again later.

Don't know if your question ever got answered, but the 2019 model has the narrow primary.

I demo rode a '17 Lowrider S a while back. Didn't like it.

Yesterday I rode a '19 Lowrider. Loved it.

Those changes they made really work.

Yeah my 2018 lowrider is the best handling Harley I have either owned or ridden.
