Very nice and GREAT color, but i am bias. I sure miss my old 04 FXDL. It looks very similar to yours.

Thanks guys... I love the color. I had laguna Orange so it's defiantly not as flashy. It's a joy to ride and I think they did a great job with the lines on it!

Don't really want saddlebags but defiantly need somewhere for glasses and gloves. You're welcome to follow along!
Had mine since September. Get ready to spend money !

sweet man, what have you added? The Rinehart pipes are available now. (Limited though) is like to add like an inch to my bar risers. Been debating on starting an m8 softail group but you have to have an initial friend to invite and idk anyone else with one.

In order: wired up my Garmin Zumo
- QD windshield, exactly the one you have.
-Service Manual
- Smoked lenses and Signal Dynamics LEDs all around (They are very
bright and way cheaper than the Harley setup)
-Added small feelers to the footpegs ( a metric stud and finished nut)
I've had her leaned enough to scrape my heel.
- Short QD sissy bar and pad.
-Stage 1, which consists of: Tuner, SE Street Cannons, and Extreme
flow HD intake.
- RIVCO Highway Pegs and mounts.

-I have on order HD Cruise Control (requires HD Programing)


*I would like to do stage 2 but will wait for warranty to be near the end
as the aftermarket should have some pretty good cams by then.
I have am on my 3rd motor in my stage 3 Road King. ( if I hadn't been
all HD Intake and exhaust I wouldn't have been covered.)

*Be carefull with your slipons as our Cats are in the mufflers, use
anybody else's and you will void your warranty .

Your Dealer may say he got your back, but I live in New Hampshire and
the motor went in Georgia, then in Pennsylvania.

* Two brothers has an awesome 2-1 complete system. (But Warrenty.)


After what Iv'e been through with the 17 RK I the motor is staying stock
for awhile. (Though this Softail motor has some design changes.)

awesome man! Yeah, I had custom dynamics all around on my street glide with the strobe module, they are really bright and made about 30 minutes from me. This one will get the same treatment.

I'm going to run Rinehart pipes, fp3 and harley ventilator intake. We will hope for the best on the warranty! Lol. I have a 3 and 5 year old, we don't get too far away so I'm never more than 5 hours from home unfortunately.

I'm doing the cruise control as well, doing chrome control boxes and brake/clutch at the same time. All on order.

I'm not sure I like this windshield, the curved part creates a real blur and wish it was about 2 inches shorter.

I'm ordering the tall backrest since the pad for it has the matching pattern for the seat.

I like that bike a lot. Gorgeous color and I really like the 2018 Low Rider.

Wonder if there is a way to put a bigger headlight on it?
