Default What's Better that one HD. . . Two HDs!

Just delivered today. . . my new to me 2015 FXDL.











After a short 20 mile ride I have to say the 103 is fast, as expected coming from my 98 stage one soft tail EVO. The bike is a completely different beast. Dual front disks are better than adequate (new pads at least in the near future) and controls are funky (perhaps I'll get used to them or go with forwards). I can tell the motor's chocking from intake and exhaust. Also, the "adjustable" bars suck! Good thing I have a AC, pipe and Dyna Tune ready to go on as well as 14" Tbars and a few other things. I have to say the factory exhaust is EMBARRASSINGLY quiet! I can't in good conscious ride it until the new exhaust is in place, at the very least. It's going up on the jack now and I've had it in my possession for an hour.

Nonetheless, 2 is much better than 1!

For me, the answer is...the money I'll save by not buying another bike, since I can't afford the one I have.

I really like that paint job. I don't recall that being a factory option.

Paint is a one off factory job.
