Getting some warm weather this Sat and Sun. Already planning to ride both days.

Super08, when are you getting that new bike?

Did you use the DK Low mount headlight relocation kit or their modular headlight kit? Are you using stock brake lines and cables with those 10" bars? I have some 10" bars coming on Monday.

I received confirmation from my lawyer a legal matter I was involved in is now resolved. As soon as I was off the phone I called the dealer. It is now sporting a sold sign with my name on it. I wish I had the money to keep the Low Rider. I know without a doubt that I will miss it.

I used the DK relocation kit. Very easy to install and quality parts.

I used all stock cables. The brake line is tight, but I bent the connector upwards at the bottom of the steering head a little and it fit fine. I only bent it maybe a quarter inch or so toward the bars. The bars made a world of difference as far as handling and feel for me. It gave the bike whole new attitude.

Good luck!

I just had enough time today to run up and sign all the papers. With my trade and the deal they gave me including 7 year warranty, and a set of factory painted to match lowers like what is on the Ultra from the factory my payments are only $277 Canadian per month for 60 months with the 0.99% financing. Remember the retail up here is much higher than down there. Mine new with taxes retailed for over 30K. The cost of borrowing is only $600 bucks total over the 5 years. At such low rates it would be foolish to pay it off. I have a running line of credit I could have just wrote a check on for the bike to buy it, but it is at 3%. That is why I took the HD deal. They came and picked up my bike today. They had someone waiting to see it that wanted to buy it. Here is the last picture of my bike before we loaded it up. I go back on shift for a week tomorrow so I am booked to go over my new bike with them on the 7th. Then they will deliver it. For now it has a sold sign on it with a ribbon going from the mirrors to the back of the seat to keep people off of it.

Btw I am going to stay subscribed to this thread but won't be posting much. I just want to stay in touch with what is happening in the Low Rider scene.

How many miles did you put on your LR?

I plan to demo a new Low Rider S as soon as a Demo Day event comes to my part IL.

I am at 6200 miles and plan to keep my bike another year and then I will think about perhaps getting the LR S.

I put on 9300 kms or about 5700 miles. Not bad for 5 months of pleasure riding and no real long trips. The furthest I got from home was 300 miles. I have a trip planned with a friend in June. We are heading out to Jasper and down through Banff in the Canadian Rockies. We will continue down into the States to Yellowstone. Then east to South Dakota for a tour. Then North back into Canada where the return trip will be through Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Lloydminster and then north back home.
