Default The Everything Softail Low Rider S Thread

I don't have one yet, but as soon as I can find a silver one I will. Let's see yours, and what mods you have planned. Also, any pics of SLRS stuff is welcome. Post mods, part numbers, dyno sheets, and anything else that will help/entertain other SLRS owners.

Ok - here's what we've done so far. Front to rear,,, LED turn signals front and rear. Quarter fairing, mustache engine guard, black levers, cruise control, turn signal extensions, forward controls. Custom pull back risers. Swapped out the tank gauges for the Street Bob digital gauge, removed the tank console and replaced with a Blackline console. Flush mount gas cap and cover, Added a luggage rack, painted chrome tail lamp surround black.

She's looking good

Default forward controls

Has anyone added forward controls? I did on mine and find that the brake pedal is too far to the left. It doesn't seem to line up properly with the foot peg. I haven't ridden it yet as it is still at the dealership but I'm wondering if anyone has thoughts on this? Have you ridden it with forward controls and run into any concerns?

I just installed forward controls on mine. I have around 150 miles on them. The rear brake pedal is into the left a bit more than I'm used to, but I rarely use my rear brake anyway, so it doesn't bother me at all.

I've added front and rear LED turn signals as well. Rogue Rider Industries, with dark smoked lenses. https://www.rogueriderindustries.com...pecial-edition. I love the blacked-out look of the lenses, but the lights are super bright. Even with the dark lenses, the front turn signals shine white as running lights and are as bright, if not brighter, than my headlight.

I have Rinehart 2 into 2 and PowerVision programmer in my garage, waiting to be installed. Didn't' realize at first they would void the factory warranty until I had already opened the packages. Waiting to do my 1,000-mile service first, and then see how I feel about voiding it after. I may just pull the trigger sooner though.

I had the forward controls added too, felt the same way about the rear brake being positioned too far left. Was able to get it shimmed out into a better, if not optimal, position

Can you show some more pics of your bike? I have the quarter fairing installed and thinking of a mustache engine guard but not sure if I like the combination or better go for the bung kings crash guard.
