Just to mention, I read that the red K&N filter flowed better then the white HD one that comes with the ventilators.

It would seem that the pads would change the initial bite, but sponginess a function of maybe needing bled or the lines flexing some. But I will probably do both. I'll look into EBC, used them on my cars before.
The best Harley brakes I ever had was on an R model VRod, loved that bike until I had some electrical issues the dealer couldn't find. Would like to duplicate its brakes on the Low S.

Do you have any part numbers for those brake lines? Looking to have them installed on my bike at the first service.

Install pegs and a seat?

You can get the peg brackets* from HD for about $80 (plus whatever pegs you like) and lots of choices on seats...

edit: *And used of course - ebay, classifieds here, etc.

My dealer let me swap over my LePera Daytona 2up from my FXDB....it doesn't have quite the low profile of a Daytona Sport or C&C Fastback (both popular on Dynas), but the rider's position is the same as those and the extra bit of passenger padding means I don't listen to any bitching.

Used peg brackets can be hard to find used because nobody takes them off once they're on the bike...pegs are personal preference.

Congratulations (Félicitations à vous), that's super cool!

I see you have passenger pegs... I assume a seat change is coming?
