I have really come to warm up to my FXLRST. After getting the rear brake pedal and the shifter adjusted, I have come to absolutely adore the bike. Thank goodness this Fall has been fantastic for riding here in Southern California so I have really gotten comfortable with my FXLRST.

is that the big OEM crash bar from Harley ?
Do you have a front photo to see if it’s not too wide?

thanks for the photo, but we don't really realize the width with this angle of view, what do you think about it personally?
I thought that this crash bar would be too big for the LRS, but maybe it will work in the end and with this model we have the advantage of fitting soft lowers to protect ourselves from the rain and the cold in winter

Personally I find the crash bar to be just fine. Look, what you want is one that provides protection for you and the bike if you drop the bike. This one will. And it works great with a clamp on footrest for highway cruising.

Function = A+
Looks = C+

Me personally not sure I need the leg wind protection at the expense of the looks. That's just and you did ask/ Lol

Damn...looks like the real deal (minus the bags and speedo) to me. Awesome looking bike...the black wheels look fantastic.

Did you buy an OEM fairing directly from Harley, or did you source it elsewhere, and have to paint it? Obviously, the headlight is aftermarket, and it looks very cool too.

Sorry...I gotta ask...what did that set up cost you (the ST fairing)?
