Awesome! You know what it's like waiting for spring then, SUX! I haven't even learned or gotten familiar with mine. I know it pulls ALOT harder than my Evo. You'll have to get some slippers or pipes on there after weather breaks!

I know this isn't a thread to chat, but I think I'm gonna spring for a heated jacket liner and a friggin helmet/visor so maybe I can tolerate high 30s when the roads are dry. This not riding is actually honestly getting to me. I tried no helmet, no windshield, sunglasses and didn't make it but about half a mile before harsh brain freeze. LMFAO. I'm gonna go to another thread and ask about a good liner and how effective they are. Old Mike oughta get one too!

Couple of question. First though, I was going to ask why you’re commenting on a Low Rider S on this thread, lol!
Looks great, reminded me of mine. Anyway, as it looks like you have ABS (I think I sees the sensor wire) a what was needed for the dual disk conversion? Are those stock LRS fork lowers? I’ve been wondering if the new fork internals used the same lowers... LRS master cylinder? Did HD need to reset ABS when you flushed?
Im very interested in this as the brakes are great, but the single disk fades a bit faster then I’m used to, so a conversion is high on my list,
I originally tried a Arlen Ness big brake kit, unsuccessfully due to fit issues, and this would solve that.
Quite honestly, the single brake is the single thing about the bike that I would change. Except for a little more powder coat...
Please let me know!
Edit: ****, I just realized new wheels would be needed, since the stock 18+ Low Rider wheels aren’t drilled for a right side rotor. Again, ****!
That adds a pretty penny to the cost of this job...

Looks very similar to what I’m using, used some 1” Velcro througn the molle loops to secure to the bars. (Soft side down to reduce any wear)

Can you comment on the passenger pillion? Looks much better padded than the stock Low Rider passenger section. Can't imagine asking a partner to ride on the stocker for more than an hour.
I'm liking your bars too. On my list to change those goofy 70's retro bars, but plan on riding with them a bit when the weather warms up to see if they grow on me.
