Thank You Kevinch
Queensland Transport states that for your first bike you cant go bigger than 650cc , so he cant wait till he gets his full license and steps up to a M8 or twin cam

I'm a new member to the forum, and currently ride a 2018 Low Rider, in Electric Blue. I've not done any modifications to my bike so far, but have been following this thread for several months now, seeing what others have done with their bikes (good sources for ideas).

Smile Best first mods

The best first modification you can make is to replace the stock seat with either a Mustang or Saddlemen seat. Next I would add a HD detachable windshield, The combination will definitely improve your comfort and endurance as well as extend your riding season.

Mustang Wide Tripper Seat


Notice longer nose and winder seat = comfort and reach to groung.

Sweet bike and welcome to the forum! I miss my Low Rider but age made me decide it was time for 3 wheels. When I bought mine, if the dealer had that color I might have gotten it,

If you're into chrome, the OEM chrome side covers from the Softail Deluxe will work. Ride safe!
