    Thats a large shopping list for 30HP though.  Cost wise its going to be up there Im assuming


    Man you would spend triple that for the same gains (and not equal output) on a twin cam, I know cause I been doing it since 03, they will produce but the cost is up there.

    So I've got a VIN number and not much else. Have heard they'll start be delivered to dealerships this week but that's all.

    Depending on the dealership, but yeah I was told mine would be a couple of weeks away, I think HH are getting theirs this week.

    Having said that I took the S model on the floor this week.. right in time for a week of torrential rain and 9’ weather hahah.

    Big congrats John!
    I’m tempted to pop out and have a look at it but thinking you’ve probably taken it home since then and need some alone time with it haha

    Cheers mate. I got it out of there pronto (ill fill you in later on that saga) but there's a black one on the floor atm, spoken for, with the Rockford Fosgate system.

    I picked up my S model today as well, two brothers 2:1 and tuner.. how good is the 117 in these? Just effortless torque.

    congrates to you too Mr Mow. So how does that TBR exhaust sound? I've just ordered a Cobra Diablo 2-1 system for my FXLRS I have plenty of time to collect some parts before my one arrives in October. I will get the cam and tune done when the 1st service is due

    I had a cobra on my last lowrider, it was a really nice refined sound, not crazy loud, nice at idle and was really well made.

    The TBR I have now is loud and angry as fck, not refined at all!

    As for cams and the whole lot, maybe try riding one first, the motor is really damn nice, 6th gear over taking is effortless, ton of really usable torque and power.. first bike over ever had where I’m thinking ‘maybe the indicators and that’s about it’, it really is a great package.

    I'm glad you are enjoying your new ride did you go black or gray. I did a test ride one a couple of weeks ago and yeah they do go pretty well stock but I think I will still do the cam etc as I have budgeted for it. I do have a stage 2 cam 2020 lowrider S now the Cobra exhaust is on backorder with no delivery time given(hopefully by October when bike arrives)

    Im keen on a bit of work but have to balance the warranty situation. Absolutely no interest in any of the HD cams given the aftermarket options though.
