It's a radio. Firehouse technology. It's not bad not much bass and pretty clear cruising but muffled at highway speeds.

Well, I have seen the posts for everyone to post their 18 fatboys/heritage/slim but not for the lowrider! So, here we go! Please post your 18 lowrider and list your mods! I'll start.

Encourage everyone to post their bikes, list your mods and ask any questions so we can all help each other and hopefully learn what everyone is doing to help each other find stuff, it's not been easy so far!


This is my 18 FXLR
Mods so far:
1) HD Windshield (I'm currently looking for the other style with the chrome trim across the front)
2) Custom Dynamics front and rear LED's with smoked lenses
3) De-reflectored
4) Lay down license plate mount
5) RCX 3.0 Slip ons (They sound awesome!)
6) Avon Memory foam grips
7) 3" risers (Looking into changing bars, just waiting for someone else to do it to find out cables and stuff first!)
8) Endscuoio swing arm bag (I THINK I may actually add saddle bags... IDK yet)
9) Ventilator Air Cleaner
10) Power Vision Tuner
11) HD backrest w/ the matching pad

Soon to come mods:
1) Woods 22x cam install (Going in Tuesday!)
2) Forward controls from a breakout (Should be here by the end of next week!)
3) Maybe a sundowner seat. ( I like that it matches the backrest, I just want to see one on a bike first!)
4) Bars
5) different windshield
6) Chrome side covers off a deluxe
7) Bags (The HD ones are okay, but I don't like having to move my turn signals... don't like the look... and haven't seen the endscuoio ones in person.)
8) possibly change to big radius pipes (the rcx pipes sound AWESOME but always wanted big radius pipes, I actually ordered them then canceled b/c the first batch doesn't have the passenger peg relocation kit with them)
9) chrome lowers
10) chrome the wheels
Did you have to change any wires cables or front brake line to get your risers on?
