Bought a new 2017 Lowrider S yesterday. Doesn't look any different from the other ones you've seen, but pictures all the same!









I ride year round, in the Seattle area that means rain. (It also means autumn colors and yet it's December...). Already had it in the rain unintentionally as the tires aren't broken in yet. Handled it like a champ though.

Very excited about it. Been riding for years but finally able to afford what I really want. I might do a write up later about coming from metric bikes to Harleys, it's a completely different world in the best way.


Future plans: powerchip, exhaust, powder coat the wheels.

I don't mind the wheels, just not in love with them and wouldn't mind changing them up a bit. Still unsure on exhaust, I'd like to hear some in person before deciding.

If anyone is in the Everett, WA area, feel free to hit me up

From a fellow Low Rider S owner... It looks great brother! I have a bassani 2 into 1 exhaust... Def sounds like nothing but performance on that bike.
