It lools like the 1200 iron fairing. I think they should have used a true quarter fairing
Well if HD did that, then there would be no need to buy one from them once you get the bike. And you know HD is all about almost, so we can pay to make it look right, haha. I agree they should have used the quarter.

LOL! I think you're right!

Much as I like the Sportglide, that LRS would be my first choice.

I agree. If that rig had been around last year, I would have got it instead, then Adventure-Bike'd that thing out

Without that goofy fairing for myself the instrument cluster would look out of place.

Peace.

The dash on my 2019 Low Rider stood too tall. To even things out I used taller pullback risers, then switched to the bars I have now.
On the 2020, there's still too much of a gap between risers and dash cluster f...

Yours works though Mike the sightline line now goes to the bars and is fluid in doing so.On the new LRS a lower cluster F(lol) might need to be introduced.

You have a good eye, this is exactly what happens.
A 5.5" pull back riser helps, I have 7" now.

I've seen hundreds if not thousands of them go past at the old shop Mike ,you can see what the design crew are going for though these days I think the bastards get close to lines and flow but not close enough that you don't spend money . Your top swingarm stay could use a little chrome maybe Mike to chrome that quarter a little to the fender strut for the lines to balance. Maybe not who knows. That pipe takes your vision from other places though ,that pipe looks awesome.

Peace.
