Default Finally "pulled the trigger" on a harley

after lots and lots of time thinking about it. Making quite a few threads asking questions. I finally decided that the street glide was the bike I needed. Always going on 350+ mile rides, wanting more room, wanting to take a passenger, all of that finally made me trade in my hayabusa. Found a black 2011 Street glide with 1400 miles, stage 1, and a chrome front end. Picked it up yesterday afternoon. Already put 300 miles on it. Loving it. I know I made the right choice. Ordered some 13inch bars with it that should be in this week. Plan to add a 21 inch wheel next and start powder coating a few parts black. No pics to add yet but this thing is spotless. It just sat in someones garage. I love it. Thanks for all the help making this decision. Riding to CA this summer should be much better now that I'm not doing it on a busa. Now I can carry more stuff.

Good decision! Love those Street Glides. Where was "the trigger" on that bike that you pulled?

The busa is a great bike at what it is designed to do but it is not designed for comfort or storage; however, the street glide is. Congrats on the sweet ride. I am sure you will feel a lot better after a long ride now.

wait, are triggers and option that you can add?
Because I do not see them in the official Harley catalog, is this an aftermarket add-on?
like a kuryakan trigger? all chromed up and ugly?
