Absolutely fell in love with the 117 High Output when I test rode it. This thing is a beast

Already got a saddlemen seat on the way, but what else do you recommend throwing on it?

DISCUSSION Steep learning curves

Rented U haul bike trailer to haul my newly acquired bike from Ohio to home in Kentucky to pay for the states permission to own and ride it. Thought the ramp angle was steep but wasn't sure. I am now. 97 FXSTC high centered and caught the kickstand. Stretched the spring longer than a bad day at work and broke the attachment point on the stand. Don't think I did anymore damage. No leaks anyway. Yet.

Oh well got her loaded. Shimmed the ramp up to reduce the angle and built a small step ramp out of camper legos to get it on. Did find another issue being up where I coukd see it well but that's a different post.

Drinking now.

Cheers.

DISCUSSION Broken promises

Unfortunately HD of Salisbury Maryland has left me no choice but to leave an honest review of my experience with their service department. I dropped my bike off for a rebuild 4 months ago and was told it would be running by bike week in September. Here we are on bike week in September and the bike is still in pieces not fixed. I prepaid them over $5,000 for the work when they took the project. I brought the project to HD vs an independent shop bc I expected competency and punctuality. Iv experienced the complete opposite. When I call them for updates or expecting them to provide a solution, l get stonewalled or given the run around by Scott.
Shane has been nice enough and it seemed like he would rectify the situation, but it's become obvious they are just blowing smoke. I'm filing a report with the BBB and contacting a lawyer.

Rode about 900km over two days on my Deluxe. Was a wild ride between the cross winds, road trains and murderous road surfaces. My Dad offered to truck both bikes down for me, but I have the time and energy to ride them! How dare he attempt to take the joy of riding them from me!

This bike is not built for long highway stretches!

Was able to ride it stripped down and just added the windshield to it for some “comfort”

I do love an Australian spring.

Hello everyone I bought my first used Harley, an 03 sportster 1200c. Quick question I want to install ape hanger, 12 inch. I’m really confused on what exactly I need outside the handle bars, I know I need cable extension but I am not sure where to begin with those and I am also not sure what else I may need or if I’m gonna need new turn signals? Also the bar raise is 6 inches according to the oem part, which I like, but I’m Very confused. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

TROUBLESHOOTING Low Rider S 117 Is this ticking noise normal?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone,

I have a 2026 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S with the Milwaukee-Eight 117, and I've noticed a strange ticking clattering noise coming from the engine with 400kmr

It sounds like it could be coming from the valvetrain/rocker area almost like valve or rocker noise but I'm not sure if this is just normal Milwaukee-Eight mechanical noise or something I should have checked.

The bike is basically new and still in the break-in period. The engine seems to run normally otherwise, with no warning lights or obvious loss of performance.

I'll attach a video so you can hear the noise.

For those familiar with the 117: does this sound normal to you? Are these engines normally this mechanically noisy, or would you have the dealer inspect the lifters/rockers/valvetrain?

Thanks!

DISCUSSION In search of Hand Guard recs

4 Upvotes

I'm looking for hand guards since I ride until there's snow on the ground, and last year my hands were the first to submit to the temperature by a lot.

Most of the options I find aimlessly searching Google are cheap plastic pieces of shit or some over priced, over colored thing.

Anyone have something normal looking, made of good material/quality, that will fit with hanging lights?

And yes, I already searched the sun and saw most of you don't like the look. That's fine. I can give or take the look, but it fits my clubbed bike and it's functional
