After a 3 years, I have rectified what i consider my biggest motorcycle blunder. Trading in my absolutely perfect 2016 Low Rider S... The first one sold in NY... For, wait for it, a 2019 Fat Boy 114. The absolute stupidest thing I've ever done. Especially since that FB was probably the worst handling bike I've ever owned. It lasted about a month before I traded it in for a 2019 Low Rider, Stage 3, which was a pretty good bike. Then comes Aug 2019 when they release the Softail Low Rider Special. Since I had been pining for my long lost Dyna, I grabbed one up. I'll admit, its a fantastic bike. Great frame, inverted forks, great brakes. Really excellent. However the M8 just doesn't have the "soul" that twin cams or evos have (thats as far back as I go). So sitting in my dealer on Friday picking up that Softail LRS after getting Pirellis mounted, I saw a 2017 Dyna LRS. Something clicked. I had to have it. And today, I am now back in the Dyna family. I kept the Softail, for now, especially since all they would give me was 14k on trade. So I wanted to make sure I wasn't making another mistake so I kept it. Maybe I'll sell it, maybe not. Who knows.
What I do know is I am so very psyched to have this:
I need to put on my 12" West Coast T's. Tomorrow probably. Happily the PO put taller bars on and there is plenty brake and clutch line for the 12" bars. I just ordered fork tube clamps for the Memphis Shades Cafe I had laying around, which naturally I didn't see that I didn't have the clamps before I pulled off the stock screen. NBD, I can live without it for a while.
I happened to have a pair of Ohlins shocks laying around, so they were nice to have to put on the day I got her home. And, of course, the hideous TallBoy seat. I do have a BMC/Corbin Wall on order with +2 height and +2 back. Ohlins NIX22's will be soon, as will be an Ultracool oil cooler and a 3guyz remote oil filter kit.
Don't particularly like the TBR pipe, so I have to think on that. I do love the D&D Fat Cat I have on my Softail, so maybe that or maybe my first ThunderHeader will be my choice. I also need a Power Vision.
That's the short list. I'll keep this going as things progress.Once all the comfort/fit/heat mitigation stuff is done, I'll think about some cubes and cams.
Feels good to be back in the Dyna forum. It's been too long.
Welcome back my friend! You're still the only forum member I've actually met in person (excluding people I've "brought in")... Definitely looking forward to more about the new bike, dead bear or not!!!
Im curious as to how like your TH and the 117 kit. Jamie @ FuelMoto has a 113 kit that gives 130/130 - needs larger injectors and the 58mm TB but is otherwise complete for $1299. Did you ever get paper on your setup? I dont like this TBR pipe at all and never having had a TH Im giving it some serious thought.
