Took a Lowrider for a test ride yesterday, feels like getting back on a real Harley motorcycle compared to my 2014 Street Glide rolling couch.
It rode better over bumps even though I have Ohlins shocks on the Street Glide, It feels light, handles great and is fast, great torque pull. So, traded the Street Glide in.
I guess the primary on the 2019's doesn't stick out as far as the 2018's so I'm setting a 2019 but I didn't like the colors for 2019 so getting tins switched since I always liked the white Lowrider.
Getting cruise control installed too. It's at the dealer getting the work done, this is a picture of the donor bike, I'll have a custom color 2019 Lowrider.
Congratulations OldMike!!! I always likes the white tins on a Harley!! I ordered a pearl white Fatboy in 2001 but took forever to come in so I came with with a black one after waiting for some time. I would love to see some pics when the tin swap is all finished!
I got a 91 fxlr I bought new, haven't rode much in years, and just bought a new Breakout. I find it interesting how you've gotten rid of your touring bikes (if I'm correct?) and got new cruisers. Pretty cool. I'm just now 60 years old, and my buddies thought it was strange I didn't get a StreetGlide. Just wasn't what I wanted right now. Plan on riding the **** out of the fxbr and MAYBE trade the 91 in on a SG.

I owned a 1991 FXLR custom, I like cruisers and fast bikes, I wanted to try a touring bike but after 5 seasons it's time for a change back since the new designs are proving themselves. I'm 64, never grew up.
