2018 fxlr
Things I will do: Change the bars to Tallboy, put some forward pegs off of the frame, stage 2 power cam. (I think the LR would look funny with a crash bar.)
I already have a QD windshield (It's 44* today), small backrest and put in all LED Blinkers.
The seat is fine, probably the best Harley seat I have ever owned.
The nice thing about mids is you can stand up on them while moving to let your butt get some blood flow. (Try that with forwards or floor boards)
It corners very aggressively, though not like my ZX14r.(207 WHP and lots of electronics to control it.)
People here call them METRIC, well 3/4 of the fasteners are metric and the entire wiring is marked "Made in Mexico" I don't care.
I've owned Harleys (and just about every other bike) since I was 14, I'm 64.
I don't like spokes as I used to break them all the time in 40 years of drag racing. That being said Most Harleys don't have that kind of power and are not drag raced. In the end take what I and others say with a grain of salt. Go demo one and a few others and see what YOU like.

We are surrounded by 100s of brand new Harleys.
She stops dead in her tracks next to an 18 Brown Heritage, Wow she says, I really like that bike. Hmm
I have an 71 FX, a 17 FLHR and a 18 FXLR. We have crossed this country 7 times on Harleys. Yes she rides. We have seen millions of motorcycles. I’m trying to figure out how to get her one for XMASS. Probably going to have to sell some guns quick!
