The Le Pera is great. Thought people were splitting hairs comparing it with the SDC but i prefer the le pera for sure.

so I'm going to do the same on the LRS which is also usually on 0 (I should point out that I also have a Heritage shock absorber on it)
any thoughts ?
There is a preload setting guide in the Owner Manual.

I run preload 2 @ 240 lbs, set at 5 generally with a passenger. These feel right via butt dyno measurements.

I picked up this Two Brothers stainless intake off an IG buy sell page. I picked up the head breather bolts from DK Products. I will probably swap the foam filter for a K&N soon. I do plan to swap the pipe to stainless. I'm leaning toward the Fuel Moto Riot, but also considering a Road Rage or a Trask Assault.

Still haven't cleaned the bike up from my ride to the Nor Cal coast.

I envy you Americans with your cheaper parts pricing lol. Almost double to get them to Canada.

Anybody running an 8.5" riser on their softail, preferably fatbob? Looking to make the switch to something taller.

Everything is wired up and tucked away as well as it can be with my spring seat. Set the bag on the exhaust with a towel to try to see a general idea of how it’s going to look.

It’s a little high but for the stock exhaust it’s as good as it’s gonna get. I’ll hopefully have them installed sometime next week and I can take it out for a ride before I head out on another deployment.

i like the idea, but i do think you need to ditch the side tail lights, pull those bags back a little,
i think a center mount tail would look better
