Hey guys so going from a 2012 Street Bob to the 2014 fxdl been working on this bike for a couple weeks so far I have done 12 inch Death squad T bars works suspension Big Sucker intake stage 4 race kit Bassani exhaust 13.5 shock extended fxdf +8 brake line. Here is what has been done so far

 

More pics of the build

 

Congrats on the new bike. Your braver than I am tearing into a new bike lol. Maybe its just me, but those bars don't look right on that bike.

 

I think the bars look good. I have seen some new Low Riders with chrome t bars or risers that look pretty sweet though. Might look a little better with some black powdercoat on the front end.

Bold choices to start your mods, bet you're gonna have a ton of fun on that thing. Enjoy

 

What is the reason behind the 13.5" shocks and raising the back end so much? Putting a lot of weight on the bike or offroading? i don't understand the need for the big suspension.

 

So, I'm not liking the mods you've done so far. JMO. But why would you buy a LowRider and then mod it to make it look like a jungle gym?

 

That's not nice. You can share your opinion without shitting on him.



With that being said, I'm not totally nuts about the bars either. I like em but I think 10's would have looked more proportional but it's your bike and you can do anything you want with it. The rest of the mods are cool and it looks like your going in the right direction. The new Low Rider is a beautiful bike.

Looks great, also bought black 10" ten bars. Will be my project this weekend.

 

Looking good. Personally, I would go with black mirrors and mount them inverted under the bars. Then move the blinkers to the lower triple tree.

 

I love the low rider... looks great!

grats on the new bike..
