Default First post, first HD

This is my first post although I have been reading for a while. Provided the weather corporates, I will be picking up a '07 Wide glide tomorrow.

I'm very excited to say the least. I am trading my Kaw. Vulcan 2000 for the HD. I know I will miss the power though. That Vulcan 2000 is awesome!!

I demo rode a Wide Glide and was impressed with it but it sure is lacking in power compared to my Vulcan.

Later fellas!!

The cool factor of the Wide Glide alone will overcome the Vulcan; providing the weather corporates. [&:]

I have seen other riders complain about the power of the Dyna Series.
Personally if I was looking for a racing bike or extreme high power I would
not have purchased a Dyna. Although I will say it has more than enough
power for me and also riding two up.
I guess if you feel you need more power than the stock motor delivers you
can modify it.

I hope I can get some sleep in for sure although I am working the graveyard shift tonight.

I plan to sleep untill about noon if I can make myself stay in bed that long.The cool factor is what keeps me returning to the Wide Glide.

After market pipes, air cleaner kit, and a power commander will improve performance.

The WG is truly an amazing bike!
