Very nice ride Red, I'll bet it would look bad a$$ with a batwing fairing on it. I'm kinda surprised that HD didn't go all the way and include one. I'll bet they do in the near future.

Enjoy!

Well what do you know. Went by my dealer, Buckeye HD and they had two on the floor. One like the OP and one all black. I would def have to do forwards if I bought one, too cramp for me.

Yes. The digital strip on the Speedometer toggles between mileage, trip 1, trip 2, the time, and RPMs and has a gear indicator to the left.

Hey, Ryder54 how about some pictures! I'll bet that orange color looks awesome.

I forget what I paid for them.. I got them at the time I bought the bike. They installed them before I picked the bike up. Whatever Harley advertises is what I paid. Getting them with the bike extends my warranty on them to the same as the bike. They do sure make for excellent lighting when riding at night. They are brighter than the headlight. I am going to have to get the brighter bulb for the headlight.

I took the visor off mine. When I bought the visored trim ring for the headlight, the visor clamped against it! It serves no purpose other than traditional looks so, I took it off. Headlight looks bigger!

Really nice T man.

One thing I like about the concept of these, other riders are getting that we CAN tour on Sportsters.

I've been getting mine ready for a couple of long rides this summer, changed bags to rigid Harley ones, switched bars to Mini Apes.

The only thing I didn't care for with the T is the footpegs, I'm fond of forwards. But, I covet your suspension.

Very good looking bike! I see you have both a windshield and passing lights. What windshield is that?
