looking at new Low Rider - owner feedback?
#11
Thanks for all your replies! Exactly the kind of feedback I am looking for.
If the Ness BBK works on this bike, I'd say go for it. Huge improvement on my Dyna.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't like these bars. I need to really sit on some others and see what they have. Imagine takeoffs will start showing up on eBay as more of this Softail line entered the market.
BTW, is it ok to discuss price on this forum? I think the dealer was making me an excellent offer, but that's partly because of wherew and partly because he's competing with a low mileage 2018 I'm looking at. Gotta admit I'm way more spun up on this than I should be. Would be good to hear what kind of discounts you guys for before I get carried away here. LOL

They're not like the forwards on a Dyna. The forwards on my '18 Breakout weren't much further forward than the FF mids on my FXDLS. The Dyna had forwards on when i got it, and i couldn't get them off fast enough. The Breakout forwards were really nice, far enough forward to make long trips comfortable, close enough to put some weight through the pegs. But we all fit these things differently.

Oh, and as far as bars, the upper tree is the same spacing as they Dyna's, so aside from slightly different bushings, any bar/riser from a Dyna will fit. And the new ease of increasing clutch and brake line length makes it a less complicated job (though still possibly needing dealer involvement for ABS bikes)

Anybody know if the parts from the Softail forwards will bolt up? Need to look at both setups, though I did note HD moved the rear brake master cylinder forward to make for simpler/lighter assembly.
I'm still leaning towards this Low Rider. Bags and a short sissy bar would get me 90% there. The HD bags are really pricey - $700 and you need a $100 turn signal relo kit. But even adding $1K would still put me well below the other models.
Lots of good info being shared here by you guys, Learning a lot from you!
