Keep us updated on the mods. And get used to the Lo as a gathering point at meets
Cool! I don't know where/when meets are? Lots of riders seem to be scurred of the cold weather! I'm riding long as it isn't snowing! That's my line...

I really thought I'd see more Lo's too.... but so far, mine is the only one around.. I live in an average sized town.. metro status.. lots of riders... even when I go to my closest dealer, 40 miles away and the only one in the southern part of GA... mine is the only Lo ever in the parking lot..

love my bike..

In 2 years of going to Sturgis I've seen maybe close to 10 Lo's. The local HD sells them but I never see them around. There was one I'll never forget ridden by this model that was signing autographs at the rally. It was stock and she liked mine so I slid my number under the tank pad incase she ever wanted me to work on her "parts". Her twin sister rides a Crossbones...I still have a boner seeing them and that was in August.

Default new paint on 2011 lo

I hope you guys don't mind me sharing but I'm pretty excited about my new paint job. I just got it back last night. It's candy apple red with hawks on the sides of the tank and front fender. The flash came out a little bright on the front fender but you can still see the hawk. Also had some parts painted matte black.

Anyways... seems like there are TONS of Lo owners on this website, but out in the real world, I have yet to see another on the road

Almost 200 miles after the first weekend (it was COLD out there!) and I plan on breaking the first 500 this weekend.

Love my Lo! Can't wait to start modifying...
Congrats man....another fellow MD Lo owner here.

Finally got a few miles in on the Lo. I took it for a short ride around town. I was a little rusty after seven months off the bike but it was awesome. The 103 seemed like it had a lot more torque then I remembered my Fat Bob's 96 having. The ride also seemed a little harsher but maybe I just need to adjust the shocks a little. I'm liking the heel toe shifter so far but it'll take a bit more time on the bike before I get to where I don't have to think about it. I've only done the engine guard, handlebar bag, and smoked turn signals so far. Everything else is waiting on the real estate market unfortunately. Is it weird to just go out into the garage and stare at your bike?
