2017 Low Rider Price Quote: Am I Getting A Good Deal or Getting Taken?
#41
I got a call from the salesman I spoke to on Wed while at work today. Told him that the price they quoted me was too high and that I am looking at all my options.

i finally got the details on why they's no 107 to 117 kit. the crank is different on the 107 vs the 114.
also found out there's a hd 120"+ kit coming.
update: fuel moto already has one...

unlike the lrs, there's no cruise control. and everyone saying that the 107/114 engines don't get hot is full of sh!#. it was hot enough to announce itself to my leg in an unfriendly way.
service will be a little bit harder. the tranny fill ole is under that electronics box and shock adjuster
hoopla over the suspension... true. but not some magic cure, bumps still felt the same. handling is superior to dyna... no two ways about it. it's basically a huge 2016+ roadster
seating position is sorta weird. you'll see when you go ride it if they have all been sold. ademec had two... one guy walked in and just said gimme and took one. the other is the one i rode. they expected it gone by close.

I rode sportbikes from 1991 to 2015 (1991 CBR 600 F2, 1994 CBR 900 RR, 1998 CBR 1100 XX, 2003 Kawasaki ZZR 1200, 2011 GSXR 600). Been there and done that.
I bought the SB because I figured more stability could not hurt.

Cvaria, the only thing about the Fat Bob that concerns me are the forward controls. Do you happen to know if mid controls are something that HD offers?
A salesman once invited me to try a Wide Glide and I told them that I would not be able to reach the controls. She did not believe me. I got on the bike and tried to reach them and I couldn't. At 5'6 my legs are not long enough.

honestly, they weren't really forwards. i felt like i was sit straight up or on my sportster. i'm 5'9" with a 32" inseam. the seat also pushes you pretty far forward. i ride a wide glide with forwards. very much not the same. you see once you get on it.
there are some "mids" that are on the softail low rider. i think the fatbob exhaust may get in the way. you can ask the dealer about it.
not to be that guy but, have you considered 110'ing your LR?

All this talk about stage 1'ing the '18's... don't forget unless you are using Hd's historically crap EPA legal tune HD is obligated to void your entire warranty if they see a aftermarket (non-compliant) tune. And before you get all Magnuson-Moss on me, it's an agreement HD made with the EPA to get out of hot water.
Read paragraph 14: https://www.epa.gov/sites/production...avidson-cd.pdf
To me, this means nothing more then slip ons and the HD stage 1 tune for 2 years.

Just sayin'
As for the deal, and your original question; I don't think that is too bad of a deal.
