Default my 14's first mod's

had the chrome front forks installed, had the dealer do it as it is now covered under the 2 year warranty. Also installed the chrome covers for the holes in the back between the saddlebags and the fender, not sure why harley even sent it out that way , oh yeah sell us more parts lol. Also have the speakers upgraded boom audio as well as the boom amp, the sound is clear under all volume no distortion and have actually had to cut the bass back a little as it has bass now lol...
had the 1000 miles maint done have had no issues with coolant at all...

Just had the 1000-mile service completed on my "wet-head" too, with no issues either. Love this bike.

Better double check the warranty, unless it is done prior to delivery and added to the build sheet (swr?) it has much less coverage. Mike

If installed within 60 days of purchased covered under 2 year factory warranty just has to be installed at hd dealer..

My 2014 FLHX is still stock, only had it two days, compaired to my 07 FLHRS it feels like
it is more sportier. I think the 19 inch wheel may have something to do with that. The
bike's engine feels like they took the 204 cams & the 255 cams and mated them together
to get the best of both cams. I will keep you all posted as things change.
