Thanks for the information. I have been riding for 35 years and other than the first three bikes that my parents bought me from 1979-82 (ages 13-16), I have purchased 6 new bikes myself.

I know the Low Rider runs $14,000 to $15,000 MSRP depending on color. I personally think that the LR is a $13,000 bike at best. You know how much sport bike I can buy for $14,000-15,000?

I will not fall for any oke-dokes like your friend. I have no trade-in and do not need financing. Unlike many HD riders who believe the only bike for them is a HD,I am not one of those persons. I can easily buy something else.

I am looking for a total OTD pride. If HD is offering a legit $1500-2000 off the 2014s, I will bite.

 

With the Amber Whiskey color and no dealer prep fees it was 14000.00, i felt good about the price having shopped 3 dealers in my back yard. They gave me a great trade on a rebuild title Sportster so nothing out of pocket. Pretty happy....

 

LOL WUT? I know that you may not have meant it, but that clause about not riding in the rain is just funny. If any bike cannot take riding in the rain on a regular basis then it should not be on the market; that's normal usage for many. Sure, I don't look at a tropical depression and say, "Man today is the day to get out and ride!" But other times you gotta get home from work or just get to the next waypoint in the tour. Aside from the first half hour (slick roads) rain is easy... so long and others can see you.

 

Not riding in the rain is just something I do not like to do. In the last 23 years, I have been caught in the rain (for short periods of time) maybe 3-4 times. I do not like how it feels. I believe it is dangerous. And I do not like having to clean up all the filth. I will not ride if there is more than a 10% chance of rain. It works for me.

 

Its a National Cycle Deflector Screen in Light Tint.

They make a removable option but just like the sissy bar (non-detachable side plates) I didn't figure I'd end up wanting to actually take it off very often (ever). This seems to be the case with many others as well.

 

I'll check but I think they'll be ok. Been working like a mad man so I haven't had a chance to really get into the my problem. Maybe the pump I filled up at was wrong.

 

The staggered duals are exactly what I want to do to my FXDL. What do I need?

Sounds like
FXDB - head pipes (I assume these have cats and 02 sensors)
and standard Rush, Cycle shack, S&S, etc.. slipons?

thanks.

 

2014 SB Head Pipes and the applicable mounting hardware(the plate that mounts to the motor I had to special order). Yes... what ever slip-ons you prefer... I like the S&S that I purchased

 

Sure you can get a sport bike for that price and yep it'll be fast as hell. But hey if speed is your thing maybe you should look there. If you would like a quality motorcycle then spend the money and buy a harley. Coming from sport bikes myself I can attest to the quality difference, it's unreal. Everything on a Honda is plastic, I mean literally everything that doesn't have to be metal, is cheap flimsy plastic. A harley is exactly the opposite, everything on it is quality and metal. They don't skimp on anything and that's where you get what you pay for comes from.

Just my 2 cents

 

This is how I think the exhaust should look. How much did the headpipes and associated hardware run you?
