I've been looking all day for a set of black forward controls for my Lo. Can any of you guys that have switched out the boards for forwards controls help me out with a name or part number.

Thanks for the help!

I just emailed them 2 weeks ago and they told me they have no plans to make the curved layback license plate holder in black. They told me it takes really well to powder coat. I hope you're right!

I know I saw black ISO grips there. He didn't say what they would have but said they're working on black stuff.

Default 2010 vs 2011

Hey all I am on the market to pick up a Lo, but I can't seem to get straight answers from any dealers on the differences between the model years. Every dealer that has one in stock says that their model year is hands down the better model year (which makes me believe that they just want to make a sale instead of being honest) so I come to you for the 2010 vs 2011 comparison. So far the biggest stumbling block is the difference between the counter-balanced engine vs non. Again every dealer says theirs rides smoother than the other model year ><. So far the only real gripe against the counterbalanced engine seems to be a perceived loss of power due to the extra rotating mass. Can anyone chart out the specific differences as I am about ready to take the plunge.


Also... I have a hard one for those V&H Big Radius 2 into 2 "curves", but have heard conflicting reports of no to serious dragging. Would like to see some more personal experiences with this (Dave yours look to be lower to the ground than most peoples')

Thanks all!

Black brackets, chrome levers.

I put 3" extended forwards on mine (had to buy 2 kits )





Sorry, again for the crappy cell phone pics.
