Yes - That's my 2017 Z51 7-speed manual convertible. I had to special order that car; no dealer had a manual with the Z51 in a convertible. I had the GM employee plan; so the cost was fixed. It wound up being one of only 92 cars equipped as such in 2017.
Thats awesome! I want to see PICS!!!!! amazing combo too! double congratulations!
I'd like to get quieter pipes, and probably bring the bars back a little. I'll get some miles on it and see.
If you still want quieter pipes, I have 2 sets from my '13 SuperGlide in very good shape. I'm not asking much, probably let either one of them go for $100 plus shipping. Let me know if interested.

What do you have? I just road the bike to work for the first time and i'm pretty sure the neighbors will be outside with the pitchforks and torches when I get home
Good looking FXD , you've probably noticed the fuel gauge on the left side of the tand and gas cap on the right. A lot of new Super Glide riders will pull on the fuel gauge and cause a few problems. I've got a soft spot for the old Dynas, you'll get some lookers for sure.
Did a complete service on it today. All three holes, new brakes front and rear, clutch adjustment, spark plugs. All three drain plugs were over tight and had some thread goop on them. The oil filter was so tight I was starting to worry it wouldn't come off, fortunately it did. O-rings were in poor shape, likely never changed. The plugs appeared well worn, probably original. The worst was the brake fluid. Came out dark gray (picture below). I ordered some new American Elite tires today, should be here next week. The tires date code to 2013 and 2008. Super nice clean bike, but maintenance was lacking.

I found a 2007 FXDL with 23000 miles last year for a good price. Also maintenance lacking, and not as clean as yours, but I am loving it so far. Loving it, of course, after sinking money into maintenance and comfort modifications. The brakes were a problem on mine, too, though my fluid was gummy and not black like yours. Be sure to fully flush all that crap out of the lines and calipers!

Nice. Post up a picture of yours, I'd love to see it. I've sank some money into maintenance too, with new tires being the bulk of it. The bike came with tires that were old and hard as rocks. I put American Elites on and that transformed the bike. I did flush the entire brake system, made an amazing difference in the braking performance. I'm a stickler for maintenance and especially brakes. I do a complete flush every 2 years.
What type of comfort mods did you do? I have 4" bar risers on the way, hopefully I'll have them Friday. I bought a nice quick release windshield off of here, but it causes too much buffeting so I'll get around to selling that. I'm waiting for a Dart Marlin Flyscreen to arrive, hopefully that's all I'll need to relieve some of the wind pressure at high speed. I'm still not sure what to do about the seat... I'd hate to spend $300 - $600 to find out I don't like it.
Here is a recent picture after I added bags and put a stock exhaust on.
