Default Anyone bought a 18 lowrider?

Thinking about getting the new lowrider, looking to see who's bought one and who's test road. I test road one for about 5 miles before it started to pour, so going to ride it more this weekend. Going to be trading in my 17 street glide for it. Off the top I'll be adding a windshield and I'm sure more chrome lol. Quick detach bags too.

Default Lol.

Well, if the commercial fits! It's defiantly different than mt street glide. (And wayyy cheap! Big plus!) So I take it you like it? I wanted a 114 but I like the price point and think that the 107 in it hauls butt.

I bought a M8 Street Blob as it was in my price range but I sometimes wish I had the Low Rider a little bit .Mines wicked right maybe it's the grass is greener sorta.

Street bob is only a little cheaper. I just like the chrome. It's a big jump for me though. Laguna Orange glide with all the addons BUT I signed papers on it in a hurry and never actually read... until I looked and my principal never dropped after 6 payments... dammmmmm they stuck it in deep. My fault for not looking. Luckily they did give me a awesome deal on it, so I'll loose about $800 on it. Oh well. I did get 3500 miles on it in 5 months. I'm going simple, cheap, fun. The glide is great but I don't tour. 99% of my riding is my 6 miles to work everyday (all year long, worried about how cold it'll be at 9 degrees without the fairing!)... ugh. Plus side pipes just sound good!

Only thing with these is they're too quiet straight out of the box .

I had one for 500 miles couldn't get comfortable on it. Traded it in on a Fat Bob which I am enjoying!

What didn't you like? I'm not huge at 5'10" so I like the smaller setup, will probably add forward controls eventually though.
