I'd like to install an oil temperature gauge in the area behind the headlight. Maybe a USB charger port beside it. I'll get around to it eventually. If anybody has an idea on the oil temp gauge, I'd like to hear it.

Hey all. Been lurking here since I bought my low rider s in May. Love this thread. Its great seeing every ones bikes and what they're doing with them. I'll admit I haven't been though all 134 pages in this thread but is there anyone here making use of the area behind the front fairing? What I would really like to do is put turn signal indicators and a series of LED shift lights in there. I'm new to HD so I'm not great at judging rpm by ear yet, slammed the rev limiter pretty hard a few times! I rode sport bikes before these and the cluster was always visible with a quick glance (and they rev to 14K!). On this bike I find myself tilting my entire head down to look at the tach to see RPM or if i left my turn signals on when changing lanes! I hate taking my eyes off the road for that length of time. Has anyone worked on anything like this yet?

Hi All, I just picked up a new LR-S on Friday...traded in my 2014 Dyna Fat Bob. The dealer had 3 LR-S's in stock and gave me an offer I simply could not refuse.
Very happy with the bike and looking forward to staying active on this thread. I haven't read through all 130+ pages, but what's the consensus on the best 2 into 1 exhaust for hp/tq increase (stock 110 spec)? An exhaust will be my first upgrade...but not till after break in period.

Well I can tell you that without them, mine would get to 300+ on sub 100* days on a long ride. I added them to help maybe prevent some wear due to elevated temps. I know they test the bikes here but I don't like such high temps. This bike used to get so hot that I was scooting back as far as I could almost onto the rear seat just to get away from the heat. All the things I've done so far have really helped with the temps.
Im also in Phoenix, an oil cooler is going to be my first mod for sure. Are you running the side mount or low mount jagg cooler? Any issues getting it to work on a FXDLS?

The kit came with connectors. But I did the solder wire thing, my first time. The lighted plate comes with really, really long wires. The only issue I had was that the stock license plate wiring from Harley did NOT have different color wires - both were black. I eventually figured out which one was power and which one was ground.

MORE PHOTOS DAMMIT!!!!
I'm giving serious thought to a metallic dark silver PC of the stock wheels, though it would require a change of the tank emblem to silver I think... I saw a previous post of a dealer that had a premium metallic gold PC job with a clear and it looked much better. I think a darker silver version of that would look great.

New member/low rider S in future
I have been watching the thread grow and now I'm about to get my ride. 2016.5 Harley low rider S. I have a deal working for 1700.00 out the door tax title fees everything. Is this a good deal considering it's still a new year release. Also because next year they are gonna bump most if not all up to the 110 anyway. Let me know what you think and thank you for your time. p.s. I love the bike it's what I want and I have had plenty of bikes but v twins always feel mor alive.
