Just a quick question for those who have already picked up their 2012 lo's. Do they come with the Automatic Compression Releases that I've heard the touring models do? I looked on Harley's website but they don't specifically mention ACR's for either the touring or softails. I guess the bike will probably run fine either way I'm just curious

I didn't hear anything about that... of course there's still a lot of things I'm learning about as I go. We do have an anti-lock brake system now and the anti-theft security system, although most have that now.

What grips do you guys like? I'm thinking of going with RSD Contrast Cut Tracker grips in black. I'm trying to find some shifter pegs and a brake pad to match it if you guys have any ideas. So far I think Harley's black diamond collection is probably the closest to matching the Tracker grips

I got tired of trying to match a bunch of stuff, so I just went with the Harley edge cut stuff.

I actually prefer the Kuryakyn ISO grips (in black) but havn't gotten them yet.. most likely after getting black handlebars so I don't have to buy them twice. (you have to slice off the left side usually to remove them.)

I went with the Carl Brouhard Contrast Cut Straight grips and the matching pegs and clutch and shifter arms that is carried by Drag Specialties. You can go directly to his site to view the products but I am sure Drew with DR. V-Twin can give you a better price. I will try to post some pics of what I installed on my Lo but here is a pic of the grips.

I've got the Kury Black-ISO's. they're real nice, but the sides scratch real easy if you bump into anything by accident, and Kuryakyn hasn't released the matching black pegs yet, or replacement end caps for the ISO blacks.

They did just release a whole "black" line, and the Trident pegs are out, but I'm just looking for the standard ISO pegs in black. Oh well.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was looking around and found one I like even better then the contrast cut. I was on RSD's website and found the Tracker black ops version. It's completely blacked out and looks pretty good. I tried finding some matching pegs and found some by performance machine but they don't fit 2010 and newer because of a different thread size. I also looked for a black billet aluminum brake pedal cover with no luck. I guess it's a good thing I have a lot of time over here to look for parts but it's the wait for the bike is killing me
