Default 2020 Low Rider S owners

Well, I did it... I had been talking to my friend at my dealer about my "should I get one - after all I did to my Low Rider?" debate, and since they got their first one in today, he gave me a call. So naturally I had to check it out. Since I got the first 2016 LRS the day it came off the truck 3 years ago, I figured why break tradition... Got a very good deal on my trade, pulled off everything I wanted, and so it begins again...

And no other asses had been on the bike except HD personnel and now mine. I like that.

Bone stock.


Tonight my Ohlins, my Custom Dynamics lights, my mirrors and my seat go on, and the damn reflectors come off. Came home with a new SE tuner.

Ordered a Rinehart 2:1 which should be here on Tuesday (please spare me the warranty comments) and a +4" upper brake line which should be there on Wed. Once thats on, my 10" T's go on it. I also ordered the Memphis shades black clamps for the fork, and a black cafe fairing. Also next week. Not sure how much riding I'll do before the bars are on, as the stock ones are just too damn low for me, and I don't think I can coax any more out of the stock line for any riser extensions.

This thing is a bandit. The inverted forks on this frame is bananas. It handles like its on rails. Amazing the difference from the standard forks. And even with 50 miles taking it easy on the motor it feels great.

So, here we go again...!

It's already an awesome bike but that thing will be one bad *** bike by the time you're done with it that's for sure! Seems like it wasn't too bittersweet for you to trade. Congrats!

I tried man, I really did. For a time, I had myself convinced that I wouldn’t do it. How long a time? Zero point six eight seconds. For an android, that is nearly an eternity...

Congrats on the bike, they do look nice. The front end is the only part that makes me think about doing the same, but not this year. So, on to the more important things. Did you order the Stage 3 for it?

No, I’m going to leave it mostly alone. I’ll do a good cam though. Jamie at FuelMoto told me he’s testing two new cams that he has high hopes about, so we’ll see...Maybe one of those, or something else. I’m going to research this one a lot.

I gotta do the tail light base. Again, the stupid chrome base on an all black bike. I’ll use black auto wrap like I did on the other one.
