I traded my 2018 Low Rider on a 2018 Heritage Classic.. Loved the Low Rider, but missed the forward controls, saddlebags and windshield. Same softail frame, just as much fun to ride..
I put the Bung King engine guard on mine to use for highway pegs. I like it pretty good.
Thanks for posting the pic, I was curious what they looked like. I have to say, they don't look bad at all, kind of like the setup and it looks live it gives the same benefit as an engine guard (but looks nicer).
I can't believe Harley would overlook something like highway pegs....I'm hoping there will be other options in the near future.
Are you happy with the Rineharts? How's the sound quality/volume?
Hey, yes at first i was a little disappointed ,as i thought they could be louder LOL but after a while i have gotten used to the sound and i really like them now when you crack the throttle they really Bark and sound great.
@druski. I had a 2016 Street Glide Special. Traded in for a 2018 fatbob. Like you I grew up on dirt and sport bikes. The glide was a great bike but I just didn't tour on it. Used it mostly for work and back and occasionally long ride. Found it heavy and wasn't happy with the suspension. The bob brought the fun back in ridding. Can toss around. Easier to ride. More power and just puts a smile on my face. Sure I need a Backpack or tank bag. But I'm okay with that when they're needed.

You just nailed it, I feel the same way. The glide is a great bike, but I don't tour on it enough to justify it. I had a stupid smile on my face when I test rode the Low Rider!
Officially a Low Rider owner!! Just got home with the new bike and wanted to say thanks to everyone for their info, gave me a higher level of comfort with making the switch from a touring bike to a new softtail.
Here she is at the dealer before I brought her home
Now the fun begins with customizing her, ordered a few parts. When they come in and I can make some time to install them, I'll make a new thread.
Thanks again everyone, the input was really helpful with my decision making process.
