Great looking scoot there. I know the purist will hate it, but I think it's possible the best thing that ever happened to the low rider.

Agree. Big radius pipes will look outstanding on that scoot

I agree! I hate the external shock look and ride. I know some folks got really butthurt overt the new bikes but I had never even debated a softail or dyna... I ditched a 17 street glide for this, and I have zero regrets!

Can't wait till Vance and hines puts out their big radius pipes for it in a couple weeks! The 107 has tons of power in such a light bike, I did do the ventilator air cleaner and adding an aftermarket cam in a couple weeks when the pipes come in. (Not for more power, just like the sound ) I came off a 17 street glide and have no regrets, added a sweet Swing arm bag to get my essentials.
congrat on the bike , look nice , didn't see VH exhaust yet but there is good option from Fab28 performance or Bassani and one of the best cams is cycle rama 460.... I read a lot , maybe will trade my dyna for new M8

V&h has the fatboy and breakout big radius out already, the low rider will be in the next week or so they said. They also have slip ons and short shots out. A ton of companies are offering slip ons for the softails which give good numbers since the cat is in the slip on. There are 3-4 sets of 2 into 1 pipes out, but never liked the look or sound. The bassani turn down are just obnoxious and would never tune great bc of being basically short straight pipes, also they don't follow any lines like the big radius pipes do. The cyclerama cam and the red shift 468 are pretty similar, I think the latest group of m8 cams are pretty identical.

Just for clarification, not all of the 2018 softails have the catalyst in the muffler. The Fat Bob's cat is in its header. I don't know about the others.

true... that's the only one. I was kinda centered around the low rider, forgot to add it in.

I came off an '09 Roadglide, '14 Streetglide, then a '16 Roadglide, then bought my '18 LR. Love it! I'm 5' -8" and this is the first Harley I've owned that my feet touch the ground right out of the box. It's light, fast (enough for me anyway) and just looks cool. My dealer can't keep these or the Sportglide on the showroom floor. As soon as he uncrates them, they're sold.
