Yeah that looks ALOT better than what my '13 FLS came with stock - which is
why I switched it out for the 4-piston XR caliper & EBC contour floating rotors
(front & rear). I also want it to look different - the XR caliper has the
Bar & Shield cast into it & just looks better IMHO.

the FLS-S has a nice caliper & rotor on it stock.
Here's a pic of the XR caliper installed.

I did keep that caliper when I traded the bike... but the Slim S, having a four piston setup, I see no reason to swap it. But yeah... love the looks of the XR caliper.

So looking at your parts list that you say you purchased with the bike, did
the dealer have to order all of them? Is the dealer installing them? or
are you? Just wondering which Daymaker headlight you got. I have
the "older" style. Not sure I want to fork over the bucks for the new style
though...
thanks,

The $400 almost left my hands with the new bike, but I thought I would risk $60 on a 3500 lumen plug-in LED bulb replacement. It turned out to be a good risk. Super bright. The pattern is a little weird, but not narrow or otherwise annoying.

Not everything was in stock...but most will be here by tomorrow. The only two items that will take a long time is the luggage rack and the side bag. They told me to expect a wait of approximately 3 weeks on those.
And yes, part of the fun is doing the install myself.
On the headlight...I am sold on them...great light pattern and very white-bright.
Plus the front turn signals with the LEDs will match perfectly

With all my bikes, I show up at the dealer with a spreadsheet that has the description of the bike that I want and a list of all the parts I want to get with it. I even include the part number, price, and extended price with 10% discount on the bike and 20% discount on the parts. All nicely added so it is easy for them to check the math... I send this spreadsheet to three dealers and let them fight for my business. It has worked well for me so far.

So it appears you're getting the new style daymaker then.
I have CustomDynamics LED turnsignals front/rear with AutoGem smoke glass lens.
Seems to make the turnsignals blend in and not stand out....
Cant wait to see some pics of the new daymaker & all the other stuff when you get it.
Gonna be a busy weekend!
