I was hoping for the 8500-9k range on these Scortchers, but I guess not.

One thing to keep in mind is, at least on my Nightstick, that one of the six socket head bolts that hold the disks in place has a "security" tamper proof head on it. You will need a set of the appropriate torx bits. I also bought a new set of bolts as well to get rid of the one tamper proof bolt. All of these items are inexpensive on Amazon. It is also important to apply anti-seize to the threads on the bolts when re-installing them and don't over torque them as that will cause the disks to close up.

Open end cap:

Amazon.com: Supertrapp 405-3046 4" Polished Stainless Steel Open End Cap: Automotive

Security torx bits:

7 Pc. Torx Driver Security Bit Set T-10 to T-40 - Screwdriver Bit Sets - Amazon.com

Bolt set:

Amazon.com: SuperTrapp Replacement Bolts for 4" Disks - --: Automotive
Thanks for the heads up !!

Got a nice 50 mile ride in today and it looks like I will be riding to work again this upcoming week.

Still waiting to see who gets to demo a 2016 LR first.

Any other LR owners who have not shared with us yet?

You beat me to it. My local HD dealer had a Demo Day event on 9-12-15 but it was raining that day and I did not go. Now I will have to wait until April or May 2016 for the next Demo Day to come back around.

Default Memphis Shades Batwing installed

Got the Memphis Shades Batwing fairing installed, mini apes from my Switchback, Vance and Hines muffler, forward controls, SE 255 Cams, SE big Air kit.
Feels like a whole different bike.
