Stopped in the dealer to look at the Low Rider S but the Breakout really knocked my socks off. I would have to be in the "stupid rich" category to consider ever buying one, not something I think I'll need to deal with
just throw a 21" wheel on, racetech springs and ricor dampers for Vrod and all good. We know HD uses soggy stock springs in their forks and are always under-damped. If I had my heart set on a new BO-S the above changes are not total deal breakers. what bike do any of us own that we have not modified in one way or another?
although I will *always* be scratching my head on why HD went with the puny front wheel and no more nice Gasser wheels. that is a total WTF.
