My buddy and rode a pair today at the local dealership. This is not a huge dealer and they had 3 on the floor and already sold one, so I'm gonna go with this ain't a very limited bike. Anyway, the bike is sick. Lots a power down low and pretty fast for a Harley. The bike I was on and the one my buddy was on both had spongy front brakes. Fun ride.

The front brake on mine is spongy too. Haven't felt a good one yet. Must be the front master. Brothers street glide and 48 don't feel bad at all.

I had it installed at the dealership. When I checked to see for myself I noticed there's more room between the brake rod and bracket then there is between the brake rod and frame

I just installed these Custom Dynamics turn signals front and rear to improve visibility. The fronts turn amber when signaling to increase the "look at me" effect.

Found the suspension tool in the bag of stuff they gave me. I got a tshirt too so that was a bonus. Couple more days i dont have to wash all my clothes.

No HOG membership... damn shame that

Forward controls go on next week, tried the stock ones but its way too tight with long legs.

Dunno how some of you guys can like the stock exhaust... sounds like a crappy lawn mower! Though it seems to have quite a bit more power even untuned than a stage 2 96cu which i'm liking!

Totally agree with the exhaust. I've fitted forward controls and its much better, I'm 6.4. Unfortunately cant spend any more on the bike at the moment due to a 14K bathroom reno that I couldn't put off.

The brakes do get better over time. Pads just need to bed in.
