New street rod XG and questions
hi all.
i am a long time member of the touring forum but just bought a new streetrod today as i also wanted something to “play on” as well as keeping my ultra glide. - test ride was great, and it seems to handle well.
i have ordered it with a few extras as i am too busy to fit them.
V&H competition muffler - hope it sounds loud.
a new set of biltwell bars (look a bit like hollywood bars with a brace on them) - to bring the grips nearer to me.
1. Are the things i have ordered ok ?
2. As its a canbus system, can i add led rear turn signals as i plan to add a tail tidy straight away ?
thanks all - appreciate the help.

Yes it is quiet here. I have a streetrod also.
So far I have just cleared the 500 mile mark and the stock exhaust is rumbling a lot better imo so I am sure the VH is going to be sweet. I also have thought about the change from stock but I am going to wait until I can do the whole stage 1 before I do, and I am also hoping for a full exhaust yet too.
No real help I know but at least it’s a response!
Enjoy the bike, I really like mine. It’s a lot of fun to ride.
I do wish for a way change the brake pedal but I am getting used to it.

If you can figure out how to attach it.
I am excited at least that H-D is putting out a few things and hopefully more to come. I am going to switch the grips, shifter pedal and foot pegs.
I am probably going to get rid of the rear fender and wait until I can go stage 1 after that.
I am scratching the hell out of my gas tank with my belt buckle. Probably going to have to get something to cover that up too.

finally picked up the new streetrod - love it !!
still got my ultra but this thing handles superbly.
got some motocross bars fitted which are a better feel than the flat bars.
got the firebrand muffler fitted and its LOUD and great.
2 hours after picking it up from the dealers i ripped the licence plate bracket off - looks better now.
a few orange decals on the wheels to match the shocks.
for Ł6500 british pounds its an absolute bargain.
