same here. went on a weekend trip with wife and gear, leaned deep in a right curve, put a scar on my muffler, although my fault, had the shocks only on the 2nd setting. set them to the 4th, actually seems to ride a bit smoother now. think I was riding almost bottomed out.

 

Hey, ya'll can add me to the list of a happy FXDL owner...picked it up yesterday and traded in my 2012 Heritage. I went with the two tone black/silver model...no picks yet. I missed the hell out of my '09 Street Bob and I'm happy to be riding a Dyna again.


For now, it's bone stock and it's AWESOME!!!

 

What didn't you like about the Heritage that you liked in the Street Bob and feel you will like in the LR? Im lovin the FXDL, I like the softails but didn't want to get into the scraping pegs I keep hearing about (if that's even true)

 

The Heritage is a great bike, but I just don't care for the B motor, it's buzzy and likes cruisin' at 2400-2600 rpms. I didn't like the extra 91 lbs and I could feel the extra weight every time I rode it. It was comfortable, but it doesn't have the same "fun" factor that the lighter, faster and more nimble Dynas have...a lot of folks love their Heritage and would never part with it, it just wasn't for me.


Bottom line after a little over two years I realized I was missing the fun factor I had with my '09 Street Bob. The Heritage would sit in my garage for sometimes 2-3 weeks w/a battery tender hooked up to it cuz I just didn't care to ride it anymore.




This is JMO...

 

Yup me too. I went for a demo ride today, the first thing i thought to myself was how light it felt compared to my 2013 super glide,it just seemed to handle better. Well i'm going back wednesday and see how much $$$ i have to come off of with my super glide in trade. Hope not to much..

 

yes, the low rider is a great handling machine and does not feel heavy., loves to lean into corners. only negative is the lean angle is a bit limited due to the low ground clearance.

 

Well, I got my wish in terms of other paint options for the 2015 LR. I like the three that were offered on the 2014 LR but wanted to see what else might be available. I love the blue and white paint scheme. I also like the green.

You can see them at the HD web sight.

 

I agree the color options now available are very nice! The blue and white is by far my favorite. But I still love my silver and black as well

 

Didn't think much of the sliver/black but got it anyway. Now I like it better than any of the alternatives (even new ones). I suppose that might change if they ever offer 2-tone red.

 

Well,after going back and forth 3 or 4 times with the salesman we got it boiled down to about $4000 and my bike. I would have gone $2500 and mine, but it's a no go.
