Default Low Rider S Thoughts
Hey guys, Im currently looking to get my hands on a new Low Rider S preferably when the new years lineup comes out. I was wanting to know your guys impressions on the bike and opinions for modification.

I'm loving my new FXDLS looking forward to many miles & years to come. IMO it's a good bang for your buck bike. It's a small frame with a big motor. Cruise control is nice. Keyless ignition alarm system is real sweet. Suspension is nice & firm & feels planted to the road. Stock seat is pretty comfortable. Looking to add a 2 up seat for the wife soon.

Forwards would be more comfortable for you. Maybe also some "highway" pegs. I would suggest a "tallboy" seat as it not only raises you an inch or two, but moves you back an inch or two also. This really makes a noticable difference (to me.) A side benefit to the Tallboy is that it is a lot more comfortable because of the add'l padding. It turns the stock 3 or 4 hour seat into an 8 or 10 hour seat. At least it does for me.
