OldMike,

I'm 5'7" and when the bars were aligned to the fork they felt a little to far for me, upon taking delivery I asked the service guys to loose the bar and I rotated it a little backwards toward me and it made a whole lot difference in terms of comfort.

I'll try to upload a picture for you. You seem taller than I am, so maybe with this little trick you can get more comfortable.

Thank God. It rained for four days in a row. Washed away all the salt and snow. Will be 45 deg today. I’ll be out riding ALL DAY. To hell with football. I haven’t been on two wheels in almost two weeks. Was close to losing my mind.

Sprayed the hell out of both bikes with ACF50 as every little bit helps against winters around here. I just can’t not ride...

I'm a bit over 5'9", this bike compared to my 2019 Low Rider seems like a taller front end so I'm reaching higher than the 7" Street Slammer bars I was used to. The stock handlebar wrist angle is an improvement from the stock 2019 Low Rider, so I'm going to try the shorter pullback risers to give it a chance, it's the easiest thing to do. I ordered the cruise control to put on myself and have Rick's adjustable levers to go on too.

When did the first FXLR S hit the show rooms?

'The day I took mine home. At least from my dealer. First in, first out.

Was the same for my Dyna LRS

I can see where the front of the rear brake pedal needs to be raised just as it was on the FXLR.
Question: The Harley website doesn't list any handlebars for this bike, I wonder why the Street Slammer bar wouldn't fit?
i got an email from mustang saying they don’t have a seat that fits on this bike due to the shock 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm wondering about build dates and did these 2020's deliver with the new oil pump, mine was built in October according to the frame tag.
Also, thinking the oil level checking would be more consistent because of the new pump.

The standard Low Rider seat seems to be a fit but maybe they need to tweak the seat pan a bit before production.
