Went to take a look at one yesterday... Really good looking bike. Higher seating position than the 48 I had, but man it felt great...

Biltwell, you will need to modify it though as the tree on the XLCX is not flat.

As much as I love my '14 FXDL I'm seriously considering swapping it out for a new Roadster.

Luckily my dealer said they'd pick up the tab if HD doesn't.

Starting over on the 500 mile break in, but it definitely sounds meaner. Once the pipes come in I should have it broken in and ready to tune.

I also put on a pair of Lucky Daves bars. I have to say that it made a world of difference. Slightly straightened me up and relaxed my shoulders and the black bars look great on it.

With your new bars, how good is your rear view with the mirrors? In stock form, I see a lot of my arms and not much behind me. I tried to install some 1.7" risors but they would not work with the shape of the top plates bottom. BTW, I am 6'. Thanks
