Looks great except for one thing.

The reflectors have to go.

Well now that you mention it, that orange does stick out like a sore thumb.

Congratulations on the new bike. Love that color and I've always had a soft spot for the Lo riders. Wish that I still had this one.

so since they gave you grief over your weeping oil box, did you give it right back and have them do the abs brake fluid flush? as a 2014, it is due for it's second one....

nice looking ride. you'll soon get over the butt hurt aspect of the purchase and have no regrets at all.

I didn't give it back to them because I know how they work. Guys, they had a 2004 883 on the floor, I forget the miles but it was high. Black bike, gray engine/trans, no chrome at all. I hope I don't insult anyone here by saying it was one ugly bike. The ole tagger on it - $4,495. SRSLY??? I can't wait to see what they list mine for. I'm sure it'll be well north of $4,900 that I paid 3 years ago.

Anyway, back to the LR - they stated that the bike was serviced and all fluids changed. I'll be going back next week, because there's a part they ordered for something loose on the ignition switch. I'll ask specifically about the brake fluid flush.

I really need to read up on this bike. I had to Google to find the oil dipstick last night.
FSM will be ordered!!

Don't know why everyone wants to tear those reflectors off. Never took mine off any of my bikes and they never bothered me one bit.
