Before I rip it down, does anyone have any info on the twin-cooled assemblies in the heads, on the exhaust valve sides? Any links to videos or a chat with someone who’s done it would be great. Even, hey, this is the wrong place, you’ll find that here, would be good. I did all the other work myself.

thanks
Why you need twin-cooled info?
How did you come up with the size for your injectors?

-- Replaced the stock seat with a Saddlemen step-up seat
-- Replaced the stock risers with Drag Specialties pullback risers
What size risers did you go with, did you need to lengthen any cables, and did you need to buy new clamp bolts?

I didn't want the bars to be any higher than stock, but because I'm a shorter guy I wanted something that wouldn't make me stretch quite so much. I went with Drag Specialties 4.5" pullback risers.

https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...ers-for-harley.

They have about a 1.5" pullback. At that size, I didn't need to change or extend cables. In researching that issue before buying, I saw some reviews that said you wouldn't need new cables for risers that were 6" and under. I definitely had some play left in the cable with the 4.5" risers, so I'm guessing you could go at least another inch and maybe two without having to extend cables.

I got the matching top clamp and top clamp bolts from Drag Specialties. The OEM top clamp will work with the risers but the OEM bolts are too long. I bought the matching Riser Bolts but ended up not using them, because the original HD bolts worked great with the new risers.

Hello dirty lawyer, oh please share pics when you get this done, I've been looking to do the same but too chicken to try it before I see it in action. Thanks for sharing.

Will do. I was a little leery of swapping them out on my own, as I'm not much of a mechanic and I was concerned I might need to swap out cables. It was actually a pretty simple swap. Took me less than 30 minutes.

I am 6'4" with a 34" inseam and currently have an HD tall boy seat. Looking for something to give me another inch back and up. Has anyone had any luck finding a seat for tall riders other than the HD tall boy?

Have any 2020 Lowrider S owners noticed any issues with the front wheel bouncing slightly? 2 friends of mine who own them, (same dealer) notice some light bouncing. dealer has changed tires twice, no change.

I had the same issue, they replaced the tire and it helped. The original tire was balanced but warped, think they have a problem with their molding process.

Vance and Hines slip ons, LED turn signals and a Motherwell rack I had to do some customizing on.

A swing arm bag and currently at a stage one tune. Waiting for a quarter fairing to be painted, then I'm done... I think. Maybe a stage two.
