New Low Rider S
#541
I just ordered the Bassani Road Rage 2 for mine. It will get installed at the 1,000 mile service in 2 weeks. Noticed it is running hotter than Id like and its most likely the cats, I figured opening it up will boost it and get it to run a little cooler. Its been awesome though over the last 400 miles so far. Kicks for sure.

My S arrived at the dealer and I had a look at it yesterday. As stated, the bars are way too low. So low, in fact, that they had to make new brackets to mount the blinkers on the bars. Getting replaced by 10" MX T-bars. The seat also kinda sucks, so that's going away, C&C Fastback going in its place.
And the wheels... Ugh. Yuck. Ugly. They look like olive drab with sparkles in the sun. Either Harley's stylist was blind, or the powder coater they used supplied bunk powder. It is an TERRIBLE color. My wheels are already off the bike and being coated black. It's unfortunate, I was hoping it was truly a gold color like in the pics that would more closely match some Ohlins upside down forks and piggy-back rear shocks. Alas, that is not to be.
Other than those items I think the bike overall is a home run. The missing ignition switch is way cool!

There is a small strip on the solo seat that connects to a seat bolt. Just removed it from the more forward hole and put it into the rear one.

Am also replacing the fairing with a Memphis Shades Cafe, and putting my daymaker back in (which the dealer so graciously let me pul off mine before the trade in)

Well, I went this morning to look at the LRS at the local dealer and I got to tell ya', if I was a RUB, I'd take the hit on my perfectly good '14 LR that runs great and trade it in. lol
Damn, that bike looked, felt and sounded good...I think I came in my pants.
Their bike had a V&H black Comp exhaust added to it with supposedly (I don't trust or believe these crooks for one minute) a SE Pro Super Tuner and Dyno Tuned...they want $20K plus TT&L and their $995.00 dealer prep fee for the bike.
But, reality is I'm not gonna spend probably $11.5 or 12K for the difference...way too much dinero for me. I'd rather pay less than $10K OTD for a new 2016 Suzuki Bandit 1250S w/ABS and have a third bike in my stable to go out and play.
