The PO has already put risers on the bike. If it is a 4 1/2 to 5" rise, the bars are already at the same height as a stock Street Bob's mini Apes would be. I did the same with my Custom and saved money over changing to apes.

Great looking bike, sir. Enjoy enjoy.

I can't imagine why you picked the Super Glide Custom.

I agree with you there. Good looking Honda there. What year was it? A CL, or pre CL model?

Well, the Super Glide Custom is a '14.

The Honda is a CL-77 305 Scrambler, about a '67 if I remember correctly. That guy on it is me, about 60 pounds ago. I rode that bike from Fresno, California to Death Valley and back. I really, really wish I still had it. That one, and most of the ones I had in the past!

Thought it was a 305, by the tank. My Custom is an 11. Dynas are all great bikes.

Yes, yes they are.

True story...as you may have realized, I started riding in the '60's. Although I rode Hondas and Suzukis, I always lusted after a Triumph Bonneville, or a BSA Lightning, or a Norton Commando. Couldn't afford those, though. I commuted back and forth to work and school, rain or shine, on a '67 Sportster. My dad bought it for himself, but about that time he sort of stopped riding much, and I snatched it up. Then, the usual, military, marriage, etc..

I recently got back into riding, and bought another Sportster. I really, really like Sporties. Two years ago the local HD dealer had an open house, and a sales guy and I were just talking. Naturally, he was trying to find out what would catch my attention. I told him: "Here's what I really want...I want a brand new, 2014 Harley-Davidson 1966 Triumph Bonneville". He smiled, and said: "Got it!"

Whaaaa??

Then he walked me over to this:




You might as well have just stuck a needle in my arm. Done!

Here are more pics ( I hope ) http://s166.photobucket.com/user/Bluemaxmoe19606/embed/slideshow/2008%20Super%20Glide%20Custom"


Any way to tell if the 103ci upgrade was actually done? I see that the clutch (derby?) cover is a HD 103 logo piece. OOOOPS,never mind, it's a 105 yrs. Harley cap,duh.

Very clean looking bike, from all directions. Bet that red really pops in the sun.
