I think you will too. I had 12s on a former Heritage. They were fine, but I eventually went up to 16s and they were way better.

Different rake on the s puts the bars in a different position.Nothing wrong with the s bars. It’s the strait risers that have to go!

Less rake angle and different risers/handlebars. More reach to get to the handlebars and the rider triangle is more of a upright handling position VS cruiser position.
It's built for handling not comfort.

Oh yeah, the rake! 28 vs 30, that would make quite a difference.

Learn something new every day!

That's why I liked it. It was a smaller softail that had both handling AND comfort.

that’s why I like the LRS, a few dollars for comfort and it handles better, goes faster and stops better.

I know this is an old post but I just wanted to confirm, do these fit a 2019 Low Rider?
