Its not my 14 Limited its my partners lol! But he has his own shop in Ft Washington so I knew it would only be a matter of time before he figured out how to change out parts. He also added a amp and tweeters on the fairing.

Can't blame him or anyone for that matter for changing them out if they are the same ones that they have probably been used on all batwing FLH type of fairing bikes for at least the past 5 years.
They really suck!!

Runnin' Khrome Werks sweepers +2 on mine at the suggestion of many on this site as I think that apes on a fairing bike like out of place, IMHO.

'Comfort' trumps 'looks' all day every day in my book.
As long as I'm comfortable riding, I don't give
a rats azz what anyone else thinks.

Apes aren't for everyone, and neither are Road Glides
Guess I've crossed two fo-pas, eh ??

You're right YB!!

However, you don't spend $20 + K though for a bike to look dorky.

Looks are still a part of it like it or not..
