Just picked up my 19 FXBRS last week. No big plans for it (yet).
Ordered V&H slip-ons and a swingarm bag; they should be here later this week and I'll get pics asap. I'd like to order the extended turn-signal buttons and a different gascap eventually.
I was going to order a relocation kit for the plate but instead will settle with the factory setup turned vertical. The bottom of the plate is no longer supported but it seems pretty sturdy.
I also took the passenger seat off but after trying it I felt like I was slipping off the back, so I put it back on until I can find a better single seat.
And yes, the dealer really did crumple up the tag and just stick it on there like that lol

Reason: Addition
About to hit 500 miles on my month old '19 and the check engine light came on... I didn't get a chance to check the code but I have an appointment this week for them to check the front end anyway (feels unbalanced; front end bounces between 45-65 mph). Light came on after a 30 mile highway ride at 80 mph.
Only mod is the V&H slip-ons with the baffles removed.

Congrats on the bike. I love mine, a black tempest 107. Idk much, but running no baffles might of leaned it out enough to throw a code? It already has a high flow a/c stock, so get ya an FP3 and be done with it.
One the other note, I took mine back in cuz I had a wierd vibration. Turns out the rims were waaaaay out of Ballance.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure mine are also very unbalanced.
As for the code, when I rode to work yesterday the check engine light was gone. Think the code can still be retrieved even though it's cleared? My appointment is tomorrow at the dealer so I'll probably bring it up to them.

Replying to myself for an update...
Code: never came back. Non-issue
Tire: dealer found that the tire was defective from the factory (a bad inner belt) and replaced it at no cost. I made a thread about it: THREAD
