OK I'm not that old but I sure feel like it.
I could wine all day, but anyway.
I have convinced the BOSS to get her dl for the fatboy.
I will be order my flhx soon.
Thank you for all your posts
I've had my 2010 FLHX since last August and hopefully I will reach my 12K mile benchmark (personal goal) before it is a year old.
It has been a pleasure to ride and the one option I did purchase with huge reservation was ABS. It has been used three times and I am quite happy with its performance.
Less is more in my book, so the styling is a huge plus; minus the seat. A replacement is on order.
The only other touring bike I would consider would be the Road Glide, but the FHLX was on the floor first.
Good luck.
I've had mine for a few weeks now after selling a Yamaha Raider last fall. I'm 62 now and needed a more comfortable and leisurely ride. Now just looking for a better seat than stock to lower me a little without bringing me forward and maybe some new bars down the road. I have noticed that any higher bars would need a rise of about 4" more in order to clear the mirrors.
Are you one of the few still riding behind the stock "windshield?"
No, I have changed it out with a 6" recurve. Adding the air dam and adjustable wings in combo with the recurve was the ticket.
I have also added a fairing mounted Zumo, changed the rear pegs to sweptback boards and just waiting on the seat. I have also blacked out the forks and added the 2 to 1 exhaust.
Considering a swap to mini-apes as my "grip" is too low, but in no rush; waiting to see how the new seat will affect my comfort before I make changes to the bars.
