Default Back in the mix

Been without a scoot for 3 years now. I really enjoyed the 2014 LR I had back then and like the updated Softail version. Found one local with 1446 miles on it. $13K OTD with a 2 year ESP and new tires included. Got it home Friday. Put almost 200 miles on it as delivered. Sunday I did a full stage 1 (S&S Grand National Race slip-ons, S&S intake and PV3). Also added in a Kraus EZ shift link, removed the Rox risers the previous owner installed and all LED lighting. Evidently, the first owner is the guy who owns Frisch's tarter sauce as it is not owned by Frisch's corp. Who knew?!? Here are a couple simple before and after's.....

As delivered:



After stage 1 and such:

Very nice. I almost went with that same bike earlier this year. Ended up with an LRST.

Awesome looking bike. the slip-ons alone totally change the bike for the better. that previous exhaust was just too big and klunky. reminds me of the stock exhaust on my Fat Boy. those went right to the dump.

Very nice looking. Retro-looking paint, etc

Thats a 107 twin cam?

That was the stock exhaust. I just did slip-ons. The S&S cans are the race version without the cats in them. It's a 2020 Softail LR with the 107 M8. The 2014 I had previously was the Dyna version.

They are nice looking wheels, funny thing is its the same wheel they're using on the new FXLRS and the FXLRST.
