Bike is looking real nice, DynaKid94. I see you are in Southern CA, so you got year round riding weather. Love the updates. How do you like the LR so far?
As far as Stage 1, goes looks like you already got the AC covered. Now just pipes and a tuner. I love the PV2. Worth the money.

Thanks man! Yep, nice sunny SoCal weather. 102 degrees today though...I like warm but there's too much...
Loving this bike so far. Once I got the bars on, I definitely felt more at home, got a little more confident with my riding. Almost at 500 miles then I can really start opening this thing up...
With all the commuting and long distance riding I do, I'm definitely looking at a fairing (either rifle roadster or tsport repop) next, then pipe and tuner.
have gone as much as 5k on a 2 week trip back in the 80's, would take more time if doing that today. the seating position on the LR is much better for me, the sport touring models had before, my a$& would be aching badly after 1hr, the LR I can ride much longer and less fatiguing. the Yellowstone trip in total about 2100 miles.

Motorcyclist magazine named the LR S as the best cruiser in 2016 MOTY Awarads:
"Power to weight applies just as well to cruisers as it does to sportbikes. It is, after all, the hot-rod formula: Drop the biggest engine you have into one of the lightest chassis you can make. Harley-Davidson, wisely, followed this formula to get the new Low Rider S. Matching the non-CVO 110ci Twin Cam engine to the relatively svelte Dyna chassis creates unexpectedly good synergies.
With buckets of torque from the time you release the starter button until the rev limiter calls time out at a mere 5,500-rpm, the 110-inch engine has it all over the 103 it supplants. Although it’s bigger, it doesn’t feel any less willing to rev; indeed, it has much the same personality as the 103, just more power across the dial. Proving that H-D’s Big Twins just get better with displacement, the 110 combines this additional torque with superb drivability. Harley has its ride-by-wire programming flat figured out.
There are similarly powerful big cruisers in the world, but we gave the Low Rider S the nod in part because it hints at a level of suspension and brake refinement unusual by Harley norms. Although still relatively short in the travel department, the Low Rider S’s cartridge fork and emulsion shocks (both from Showa) dispatch road irregularities with ease, seldom topping out or bottoming harshly. So the Low Rider S is actually special—pleasingly quick, distinctively styled, and much more refined than we assumed it would be. We hope this points the way forward for Harley."
I have traded in my Sportster 1200 for a new 2017 model Dyna Low Rider. The Sportster is nice but is ergonomically a bit on the small size for me. The Low Rider is a size up and fits me better. It also has a bigger engine, up from 1200 cc to 1690 cc
The bike comes in a gorgeous deep red colour, and I splashed out on a special number plate: RT66 LOW, haha (extra points if you get the RT66 reference).
It arrived at the dealer today and they are prepping it now. It will have a windscreen and a sissy bar and rack. I hope to pick it up some time next week.
