So I went and bought new Low Rider S. It should be ready in two weeks. I am not very good at waiting :P Thanks for all the advices. I am pretty sure I can make that bike just the way I like.

There were one Low Rider S on the floor that was already sold.

Good choice on the LRS. I really like the sport glide and it will most likely be the next bike in the stable. I want to get the wife on one so I can take over her 1200 iron and build it into a little monster. Coming from metrics you’ll really appreciate the brakes and steering feel on the front end. 3500 miles on the clock, and the 12th makes it one month since purchase and I regret nothing. It will tour two up for weekenders no problem.

This picture was one of the things that made my mind to get Low Rider S.

Lol. It’s the second time I’ve thrown it up. Not crazy about it but apparently it’s growing on me. May just have to go ahead and give the photographer a donation.

And maybe you should ask Harley some compensation for selling bikes?

Good choice. I love my LRS. I plan on using mine as a cruiser only but adding bags is pretty easy and still look good.

This is a good point. With the Sport Glide there are only the two keys. One actual key to lock the steering and the bags, which also secures the fairing. The other fob key that you only need to have in your pocket. I have an additional key for a cable to secure my helmet, and that's it.

Still have to wait two weeks the LRS but nothing is preventing to buy some accessories already. :P

Ordered saddlebags: https://www.endscuoio.com/product/folk/

Next need to figure out if would need to buy new Garmin or maybe Tackform for mobile phone for navigation. Also looking for more luggage space for weekend tours. Saddlemen have some nice sissy bar bags and Harley new Onyx series looks pretty nice too.

Tomorrow should be nice weather. I guess I am up early. :P
