Mine does the same thing...similar to my 2024 SG. My 2021 Revival has the red light, but I think they deleted it from the current generation. BTW just installed a Bassani shorty 2 into 1 and its nice. The sound is excellent and the noise level is reasonable. Runs well with the SE tuner and a wedge air filter.
Beautiful Lowrider Mike. Will you be at Zion Demo days this Friday or Saturday? We may ride up from Mesquite for it.
I'm currently looking at different equipment options for my upcoming 2025 LRS and I just saw that the Road Warrior fairing doesn't fit the newer models because the upper part of the fork tube is larger and the brackets don't match. This was confirmed by Memphis Shades, who just replied to my email.
What other options are there? I don't like the Harley quarter fairing, and the Sport fairing isn't removable...
Advanblack have a few options, I have the ST fairing and like it a lot, i previously had the Road Warrior on it, the ST fairing has better protection from the wind- https://www.advanblack.com/parts/har...gs.html?show=1
Thanks for the answer, I know that there are some aftermarket ST fairings, but ffor the moment I don't want to go that way, I prefere to wait for the release of new brackets for the Road Warrior, Menphis Shades support emailed me that it will come for the summer...
I just bought a Tallboy seat from the classifieds for my 2025 FXLRS to improve my riding position and thus be able to keep the mid-pegs. Hope it will be good for me, can't wait to try it...

The tall boy will set you back and up. It will level your hips with your knees. Those are the pro’s. It will also extend your reach for the bar. You will also feel real loose in the saddle. A better alternative is the saddlemen explorer. So what’s next the pull back plate? I have done all this and more except the Frankenstein pull back plate. The best thing for the s and st is to go forward I believe. Going forward with full boards and a forward seat is the best alternative. With the 28 degree rake you will not lose any handling and it will be a very comfortable bike. Good luck with it.

Thanks Durham man for your advice, I've often read your posts about this model, even before buying my first Low Rider S, and also while I had it. I've followed the evolution of yours, which you've modified quite a bit over time, and I know you have a lot of experience with this machine. So I think you're right about the forward controls, especially since I'm not an aggressive rider and I prefer cruising. But I'd like to try this seat with a pull back plate and mini footboards to start. We'll see how it goes.
First major change: today I received my Harley Tallboy seat, bought on Le Bon Coin (a French classifieds website), never used and half the price of a new one.
A beautiful seat with lovely finishing touches; I really like the look.
I only tested it statically; it's obviously taller and wider, but there's no problem putting my feet on the ground—I still have room. It also allows me to sit further back, so my legs are much less bent and my knees are lower, which was the goal, I must say. However, the handlebars are now quite far away. I'm waiting for LA Choppers risers extensions to arrive, which should improve that.
I took some measurements:
Original seat / Tallboy seat
Distance from the handlebar clamp to the top of the rear of the seat: 36,2" / 37,4" + 1,2"
Distance from the nose of the seat to the top of the rear: 16,7" / 17,9" + 1,2"
Height from the top of the muffler to the seat position 15,9" / 17,1" + 1,2"
Official Harley measurements indicate a 1" increase in height and 1" in setback, so it's roughly accurate.
We'll see how it performs on the road.
Also to be continued: sissy bar and Harley luggage rack.

Today I installed the riser extensions from LA Choppers: 1" raise and 1" pullback, the clutch cable was a bit short so I routed it along the right side of the frame, still through the hole in the upper triple clamp, and it's perfect, brake line was ok as the wires...
The riding position is already better when stationary; we'll see how it is on the road... I also adjusted the height of the fork tubes because I noticed they weren't quite as the same level on the right and left sides, so I lowered them by about 15 mm. The front end will be a touch higher, but I don't think it will make much of a difference; we'll see.
