Welcome to the cool kids club. Yes the reflectors and big red bee stinger tail light look horrible on the Lo. Have fun and ride safe.

How do you take the reflectors off?


And yes I agree with the tail light, want to switch that out soon

Nope no fatboys. Just a really cute blond in her early 20's.

After the bike sitting in the warm sun I just pryed them off with a soft plastic putty knife. Then used some goo gone to remove the residual adhesive.

Another trick to remove reflectors is a heat gun or hair dryer and fishing line.
And I don't mind the reflectors, but that straight up license plate holder has got to go!

Wheel is 21 x 3.5 and tire is 140/70 21. Lowered about 3.5 using flh fork tubes and progressive drop springs. Had to use Screaming Eagle racing fork oil to keep from buttoming out.

old question i know, but for those of you who've hard-bagged your Lo's, what parts did you use? I'd assume the Cyclevisions CV7210 bracket, yeah? My buddy has his stock hard bags from his 2001/2 Electra Glide that need lids, and I'm considering hard-bagging mine for a trip i may go on in October.
