Just saw the low rider S is coming back in 2020 as a soft tail. Good for H-D for finally doing one thing right!!

You mean they are offering the Low Rider with a 114 (or 117?) option and special paint options, or is there more to the model designation?

This is what I saw, San Diego customs, who do a lot of stuff with HD, showed this on their Instagram but didn’t say anything about it.

Based on the dimensions, there's a little bit of a difference in the rake/trail. With that, given that the overall length is the same between the two models, that may mean a difference in tire/wheel as well. And... with a lower ground clearance, but taller laden height, I'd suspect the suspension has differences.

Dimensions - inches (FXLR / FXLRS):
Overall Length: 92.7 / 92.7
Overall Width: 38.0 / 33.5
Overall Height: 45.5 / 45.7
Wheelbase: 64.2 / 63.6
Ground Clearance: 5.1 / 4.7
Seat Height Laden: 26.2 / 26.5

I saw a 2020 Fat Bob Special FXFBS and the ONLY difference was a 114 engine. That was it. If it didn't have a tag hanging off it that had 2020 FXFBS I wouldn't have even know it was a 2020 or a S.

From the parameters, it looks very similar to Fat Bobs and is promising. I hope that FXLRS will have front-inverted suspension with double brake disc and 114 all with chrome ^.^
