Traded it in on a bagger,. Went by dealer to check out a Heritage and left with an Electra Glide Standard.

I placed a Carl Miles boot guard.

I placed a small taped rubber hose to prevent damage to my exhaust if the right floorboard were bent up.
Thank you for your time,
Lboy06.

Carl Miles boot guard.

You can see the taped rubber hose piece towards the end to prevent exhaust damage.

I changed the rear brake pads on my FXFBS. 20K miles and they were just about down to the metal. I actually can't remember if they were already replaced once during one of the earlier services or not.

The fronts have still got some meat left on them, but I think I'll change those out soon as well.

Thank you lol I'm not worried about what they say. Everyone has their own style which makes the bike that persons bike. Thanks for the support brother. I agree with your statement

Yesterday, I gave her a bath after a 120 mile jaunt up the river and back. Today I gave her a wax job then rode her downtown for a few shots on a cloudy day. At the very start of riding season in March 2019 I upgraded to Stage II using non HD parts, except for the ventilator air cleaner. She had 5995 miles at that time. I ditched it last month for the S&S because,well, it just looks better. Have logged approximately 6400 miles since March of 2019 with no issues. And my warranty expired last week. I think I will keep the little blue beastie.

Been doing a lot of highway miles and the Fat Bob was beating my old *** up. This coming from a guy who rode a 62 900 iron head from West TN to Orange County California thirty something years ago. Going to do a stage 2 to this one and ride the crap out if it. Only pic I have at the moment 2020 FLHT. It was this a Heritage or a Road King.

I hear that. went on a nice day long ride yesterday and my tail bone was not very happy afterwards. Next on my list is a better seat and probably a Dougz customs fairing to help block a bit of wind from my chest.

Not sure what seat to go with though. Yet another hunt for parts begins. Haha

Had same exact thoughts before bought my Heritage but I dont do that much miles and I felt Touring was bit too heavy for my weak *** to handle so I went with Heritage. Got all I wanted from this bike and it is 114” which was not available for What I was considering and could afford on touring platform but I wonder to this day about this model you got. I am glad you are happy with it and also feel for my needs I hit jackpot as well so everyone is happy. Congrats on new ride man. Beautiful bike and great platform for modifications. Enjoy
