Does the gear read out tell you all gears or just R and 6?

Welcome to the family and welcome to HD Forums. Look forward to seeing you around.
Thanks everybody! The gear read out reads all the gears when the clutch is engaged. Once you release the clutch the read out goes away. The remaining miles on the tank has some adjusting to do. I forget how many tanks it said that it would take to adjust. All in all I am loving the bike. Thanks for the welcome!!

I thought about lowering it about 1 1/2 - 2 inches. But I kept scraping the peg feelers so I have changed my mind for the time being. I may still lower it in the future.

I ordered the exhaust through the dealer. Its part number 1800-1421. When I go to the Vance website it says not for use on the breakout. The dealer installed it and as far as I can tell there are no fitment issues. I don't know if they had any issues with the O2 sensors.

Shotgun shock. You can raise it for riding and lower it for bike night. They really do look better without the big gap between the fender and tire.
Enjoy your new bike.

Yeah, I am thinking between the shotgun or the progressive shocks. I will see how the mod budget is when I decide to get them. Thanks.

Take your time. Don't turn it into a rolling catelogue. Good luck.

I hear you. I'm pretty much done with it. If I do anything else, it will be lowering it. But that wont happen for some time if I even do it at all. Thanks.
