FWIW, the two bike version is ~$200 more. I upgraded to it so I can
tune both my FLS and the Iron.

Default meaningless stuff

replaced the HD axle covers with some vtwin chrome covers.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/222432592613...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

did it for two reasons:

1. the styling was weird with the post wheels and tacky red stuff look.
2. the old covers will not fit over the XR swing arm.

it's not. the xr swing arm has the caliper mount/rotor/spacing issue that needs resolution.
