mine did it from the minute I left the dealership. Got a vibration from 45 -60 mph too. Guessing tire is out of balance. Didn't notice it on my initial ride home b/c they are literally 300ft off the interstate and I was probably to frozen to care when I got off! Any mods yet? The bag is left side only.

No mods yet. Looking at the LaPera Sorrento Seat, exhaust, and intake. After a couple of 200+ mile rides, I feel the HD seat is not comfortable. I'll probably wait on the intake and exhaust for the warranty to expire. Since this is a first year bike, and 2nd year motor, I don't want to fight with Moco is something happens. My dealer told me VINs are being flagged for such mods.

Oh, and I'm really digging the faring on the new Sport Glide. I'm wanting to investigate the possibility of fitting one to the LR. If not, I want a small faring like that.

well my harley ventilator intake shouldn't effect anything with warranty BUT I know the rineharts and power vision could.... we will hope for the best the fairing on the sport glide is too little to do anything. The giant stock street glide fairing needs an extra 6 inches added to the windshield to do anything so there's no way one way smaller does more than look sweet! The forks are different on the sport glide so you'd have to do some mods you make it fit.

Got my intake on! Sounds better but haven't ridden it and font expect much in the power range from it. Harley screwed up and sent it without mounting bolts or anything, a week later I got everything BUT the main 3 bolts which are kinda funky shaped. So, I modified it and got it on! Looks way better than the "bowl".

In case anyone was wondering what the FXLR looks like in vivid black, here it is. Love the bike. The front brake does sound like a French horn sometimes, otherwise I can't find fault!
