Default Sport Glide Mods !

Hey guys,

Recently got a 19 Sport Glide. Loving it so far. Its bone stock. I have some things planned that I want to do. The first thing is to upgrade the windshield/fairing...after that I'm not sure.

What mods would you guys do if you had just gotten an all bone stock bike?

Slip Ons Vs Full Exhaust System what you think ?

Gongratulations !! I would start by making the bike comfortable for you . If you plan on getting a cam or a big bore kit i would go or a full exhaust.

I'm not planning on anything cam or big bore related so maybe slip ons will be ok. The seat feels pretty comfy to me but I may need to look into bars.

I have a 2018 sport glide, dealer demo, had 359 miles on it, bought it a month ago. Looks brand new. I just picked it up last night with completed stage 1 upgrades. It looks and sounds beautiful. Went with VnH big shot staggered exhaust. Arlen Ness intake monster sucker intake(the 90degree) and a TTS tuner. I did pay for the dyno also. I did throw on a HD derby cover, that plain black thing it came with has no character or style. I’m mostly done, getting sissy bar and back pad for my wife and not much more as I think it’s just about perfect. Till I start jonesing for a cam...

only rode the bike home last night but it rumbles like a tank advancing on commies. It looks awesome. I will grab a couple pics and post here later today.
