Maybe the dealers just aren't getting many in yet. My wife wanted to demo a LR, but my dealer has only received one and it sold the first day it was put on the sale floor. He has another on order, but no ETA yet. Seems he is getting all the other new Softail's...

I seriously considered a low rider. Fit me so well and love the handlebars(buckhorn). Dealer had two both in colors I like. Problem was mid controls, a little close for me, only 107 and none with ABS. I really like the bike and the way it handled. This is a totally underrated bike. If it came in 114 it would be a blast!

Only a 107?
Let's not continue to perpetrate anymore mythology that 'only a 107' is somehow inferrior to a 114. Stock for stock, there really isn't a whole lot of difference. Both in parts, and feel. No one who buys 'only a 107' will be getting short changed in the M8 experience.
Both motors are simply terrific.
I do indeed work for a dealership.

Gosh didnt mean to hit a sore point. Your right both motors are outstanding and the 107 is not in any way inferior, just less powerful to the 114. The money I would have to spend to boost the 107 to a 114 made up the difference in cost to the low rider and the bike I purchased. I test rode several bikes 107, 114, and 117. There is a difference that is noticeable with each motor.

) I came off a 17 street glide and have no regrets, added a sweet Swing arm bag to get my essentials.
