New Low Rider S
Going out on a limb here, but with the bikes being Canbus, I'm betting an aftermarket speedo is going to be a PITA. The tach you should be able to use the pickup wire already in the loom.

I fitted Kuryakyns. No problems at all.

Now to top it off. My calipers are leaking???
I can understand one? But how do both have a slight weep?
I noticed some some streaks on my wheels, then saw a small pooling of fluid (which I would have to assume is brake fluid) at the bottom of the calipers.
Bike is literally 2 rides old.

Maybe not calipers

I had wrapped a few a few towels around the leaking caliper so it wouldn't leak and sit on the wheel over the weekend. Well this morning when I was prepping the bike for pickup, I saw another pool actually on my wheel lip. It was NOT from the caliper though. Looking closer, it seems my "wheel bearing" is now leaking fluid as well. It was really wet inside the joint there and the puddle on the wheel ran directly to that spot. So now the caliper AND the bearing. This bike is really fast becoming a lemon.
In 9 months of ownership - with a total of 3,100 miles total - I have not gotten stranded twice needing a 4AM tow and have had 4 major repairs:
New Battery needed because the bike would just not start after running fine and being out during the day. Was in the shop 2x for the issue BEFORE they fixed the battery.
New seal needed because the primary case was leaking.
New seal needed because an engine o-ring was leaking.
New brake caliper needed because something is leaking and causing the fluids to leak out during riding and leaving me out on the bike with no brakes.
And NOW, something is wrong with the wheel bearing.
Back to to the shop for more work and repairs.
All work, service, and maintenance done at local HD as required.
Dont know what's going on with the bike as I've never had an HD continually break down like this needing repairs, especially being brand new.
Anyone else having problems like this?
Any suggestions on what I can do or expect from HD?
Thanks

Awesome! I'm getting ready to do the hcp 9.5 risers and lucky daves bar on mine. I love the hcp rotors! Pretty easy to setup?

Hi All,
I am new to the forum where I just picked up a new 2016 LRS. Paid $14800 OTD so I jumped on it. I put forward controls on it and was looking at exhaust. Right now I am considering the TBR or Bassani RR2 where I want to keep the black color. Do you know if these will work with the forward controls? I can call each company but figured I would see what people thought here. Any feedback would be helpful. The mod list is getting long!
Thanks,
Nick
