The Low Rider name has been on the FX, FXR, Dyna, and now Softail platform. It is not a Dyna only name.

It was the first one my local dealer had, it was still in the crate when I bought it.

My '06 LR had only one front disc brake, but that was also a 88TC. When they reintroduced the Dyna with a 103TC and dual front discs, I knew I had to have one...the only thing I would do different would be the speedo on the tank and a Tach mounted up on the handlebars for easy viewing...I don't like both the speedo and tach, where I have to look way down to see them. I don't care about the speed. I know I'm speeding, lol. I want the tach up high...

Actually, it's not...just regularly move it around to avoid flat spots, check tire pressures, use a tender and fuel stabilizer AND occasionally ride it...

That's fair point Dave, must be my anger that harley ditched the dyna that got in the way of clear thinking lol!

Believe you have the oldest LR in this thread and forum. I thought about getting one around that time but decided to wait to 2015. Wish I would have gotten mine a little sooner. My GSXR 600 was fun but not comfortable.

Would be even better to mount speedo and tach on the handle bars. There is no reason to mount them on the tank as far as I am concerned. Put them where they can be easily seen.

Yep, dumbest thing I've ever seen on a motorcycle. Turn signal indicators down there too. How about the clock, odometers, gear indicator, down in the speedo as well?
