this is some good entertainment watching the LR-S owners lose it ! its comical.

i think harley should make only one bike per model (PlainJane) and people should modify as they see fit! then no one would care about all the plastic on the LR-S lol

but in all seriousness Harleys are about individuality and who wants a standard S model or a standard model anyway...

My LR is white now.
Like has been said, if you don't like it, don't buy it. I love mine & love the fact that it's mine. Cruise control is a feature I like on long rides. ABS took some getting used to but I like it now. The air cleaner is not in the way, you possibly haven't ridden one. One of the best features I like is keyless ignition & alarm. I like the side plate mounted vertical like I had on my Iron 883. I will be getting a wider rear tire though.

I will be willing to give your modded motor a run against my "stocker". This motor is a beast in stock form it just keeps pulling from 2000rpms to red line & once I put a bit of money into pipes & tuner like you have it will be even better. Buddy that works at the HD dealer is putting the 117ci kit onto his soon. I can't wait to see that beast.

Looks badasss!!!!
With a 110, shouldnt it need a wayyyyyy bigger back tyre? Whats the use of getting a big engine if your tyre is going to spin you into oblivion up to the 4th gear? Is the noise it makes the only factor?

When half the people have Harleys, what is individuality? Getting the special edition? the bigger one? the shiniest one? being able to carry your whole house in it?

Yes it does. I posted that in my previous reply. The wider rear tire will be added to mine.
