What's anyone doing about tires. The only matched set of bias ply tires available in the stock sizes are the stock scorchers. I liked them well enough but they are pricey. They are toast at 7500 miles. There are radials available to fit the rear. Anyone have actual experience in this area?
thanks

Sportglide headlight is 7” while yours is 5 3/4” I believe, Pretty sure any fairing is not going to work well with the silly top mounted headlight bucket. When I had a ‘15 Low with the same mount, when I wanted to install a Memphis Shades Cafe fairing, I had to pick up a bottom mount bucket, mounting block and a couple of bolts to make it happen.

Edit: make sure they are still drilling the hole on the lower triple. On my 15, it was there, with a chrome plastic cap in it. If there’s no hole, it’s a whole different ballgame....

thanks , for the reply , I have other ideas , so I may just put this one in the back burner for now. I didn't realize the headlights where different sizes , that alone threw a curve ball in that idea.

Well, I have seen the posts for everyone to post their 18 fatboys/heritage/slim but not for the lowrider! So, here we go! Please post your 18 lowrider and list your mods! I'll start.

BTW, look up "Harley M8 Softail Owners Group" on facebook!

Encourage everyone to post their bikes, list your mods and ask any questions so we can all help each other and hopefully learn what everyone is doing to help each other find stuff, it's not been easy so far!


This is my 18 FXLR
Mods so far:
1) HD Windshield (I'm currently looking for the other style with the chrome trim across the front)
2) Custom Dynamics front and rear LED's with smoked lenses
3) De-reflectored
4) Lay down license plate mount
5) RCX 3.0 Slip ons (They sound awesome!)
6) Avon Memory foam grips
7) 3" risers (Looking into changing bars, just waiting for someone else to do it to find out cables and stuff first!)
8) Endscuoio swing arm bag (I THINK I may actually add saddle bags... IDK yet)
9) Ventilator Air Cleaner
10) Power Vision Tuner
11) HD backrest w/ the matching pad

Soon to come mods:
1) Woods 22x cam install (Going in Tuesday!)
2) Forward controls from a breakout (Should be here by the end of next week!)
3) Maybe a sundowner seat. ( I like that it matches the backrest, I just want to see one on a bike first!)
4) Bars
5) different windshield
6) Chrome side covers off a deluxe
7) Bags (The HD ones are okay, but I don't like having to move my turn signals... don't like the look... and haven't seen the endscuoio ones in person.)
8) possibly change to big radius pipes (the rcx pipes sound AWESOME but always wanted big radius pipes, I actually ordered them then canceled b/c the first batch doesn't have the passenger peg relocation kit with them)
9) chrome lowers
10) chrome the wheels
I love the new low rider, my wife refuses to replace her sportster with anything but another white Harley and she really likes the new low rider, sadly no white for 2019 model year. We’ll be ready to get her one next year, maybe 2020 will have the return of the white, otherwise hopefully I can find a 2018 at a dealer somewhere.
