I'd recommend foot pegs off the FXR. They will give a bit more lean angle. I'm running them on my FXDL.

Welcome!

If you have power vision, auto tune it to get rid of that wierd initial response on accel/decel.

You'd just need two front rotors since the stock rotors a spoke mounted on the poo brown paint standard low rider wheels. The option is just not on the site, I'm sure the dealer would do it for you.

Please dont post "opinion" and "misinformation" as wide brush "facts"

I'd never even consider giving up the mags for spokes. The mags are extremely dependable, no spokes to loosen, very strong, never out of true, run tubeless, and look great excellent IMO. They're also easy to paint if you want a color change. I've always loved all generations of the stock LR mags. They were a must-have for me on my past Sporty and current FXR.

x2, after having my stock street bob spoke wheels loosen up on me.... I'll stick with alloy one piece wheels.

OP welcome to the Dyna world!

If there's a bike that I would tempt me to part with my Sporty, it would be a Low Rider. I test rode one (non "S") on Sat and man I am in love. Unfortunately the dream ends there, financial reasons. But someday I will have a Low Rider.

Congrats on the S. I agree, it is a beast!

going from an 883 to a 110 is a huge jump! More than double the torque.


Have fun with it!

same pegs they used to used on the Buell S2 thunderbolts. Good for reducing engine vibes also.
