Got the Supertrapp on, Bassani is now with a friend who is enjoying it on his new-to-him dyna...
Got it on Wednesday night, then proceeded to be sick as a dog...felt good enough yesterday to get out for a bit of a rip. Quiet at idle but has a nice roar when you roll on the throttle, no more bracket clearance issues like I had with the Bassani and my taller shocks. Bike feels a little more responsive, seems like the power curve might have smoothed out a bit, this is all of course according to the butt-dyno...overall I'm very happy with it.

that is what I like about the super trapp, has better sound than stock but will not hurt your ears or make enemies of your neighbors.

Love it or list it?
Will start by saying this is best thread on the site!
Finally getting my 14 closer to 'mine' (pics attached). Some changes are obvious - e.g. AC/exhaust (including HD tuner), rear shocks, led head and tail lights, laydown curved plate frame, sissy bar/luggage rack, seat, etc.
Some changes are not - e.g. predator front motor mount, ~1.5" tank lift, front signals relocated with HD kit, headlight and bars raised ~3/4 inch.
Future improvements include forks (also possibly rear shocks), signal lights to led and change exhaust to cobra el diablo or VH upswept 2-1.
I have ridden several of the new softtails and am being tempted by the new 114 (and new platform). The 107 isn't different enough to tempt me. Haven't ridden fat bob yet but so far my fav is fat boy s.
Has anyone else been tempted? if yes, by what new model? why?
Would you consider stage 2 ( or 3) instead of new? Which (2 or 3) would make it most like new 114 (except for vibes, of course)? ... or is either worthwhile?
Are any of the new 114 models worth the required 20K plus?
Just wanting to hear what others that have ridden new models are thinking.
Thanks!

I demo'd a 114 Fat Bob. Nice bike but I am not getting one. My LR is bought and paid for and has a lot of life left. Dropping $20K plus sales tax and all the accessories is not something I will be doing. When it is time to get a new bike, I will be looking for garage queens.

Maybe the best bike attracts the best riders 
I'm coming from the place of remembering how I felt on first LR ride and found myself with the same smile after riding 114 fat boy.
BUT -- the 20K+ is definitely a consideration. They are also still releasing new models so might be worth waiting to see what other choices we might have.
The barn queen sounds like the smart way to go!
Thanks for your response!

First, thanks. I too believe this is a great thread. Best thread on the forum for sure. And that is coming from someone with no interest or bias whatsoever.
