I would not mind some better rear shocks but the stock ones work well enough for me. I never ride two-up and am under 200 lbs. Spending the extra money some nice Progressive 970s would run is just not something I need to do.

When I started this thread, it was just to get some feedback from actual LR owners. Until my May 2015 Demo Day event rides, I never considered getting a HD. I had no idea the thread would become what it has become.
I hope any new LR owners will stop by and share with us their bikes and mods.
My next serious mod on my '15 FXDL will be Stage1. But that won't be until I can get about 1k. The bike is begging for this mod every time I ride it.

A basic stage 1 is the best mod you will ever make to a new harley. Drastically improves how the bike runs. Really, these bikes were made to run with a more open intake and exhaust.
I'm looking for a good place to secure a small key chain type garage door opener on my LR. Would prefer to locate it somewhere that woukd enable me to push the button when I'm rolling into the driveway. Anyone had any success with this?
The good news is that i mounted my opener to the bottom of my fuse tray cover, where i can just reach down with my left hand and press the button as i approach my house.
The bad news is that it only works when the power is switched off on the bike. I must be getting some interference of the signal from the fuse panel when the bike is turned on.
I did not expect that outcome. Back to the drawing board.

Just when you think you have it conquered, you have to start over.

I have seen some people use their smart phone as a GPS device and mount it to the bike. I wonder if you could program your smart phone to open the garage door?
I simply keep the remote in a jacket pocket and that works well.
