Wouldn't it be rather hard to find a 2010 with ABS?

I changed so much more than the rear fender....

FXDX front end
19" front wheel, dual disc.
14" T-bars with gauges up on top.
FXR gas tank/dash setup.
Moved key switch from the tank to the frame.

The bike is now for all intents and purposes an FXDX with 32 degrees of rake rather than 28 degrees of rake.
Much more stable at high speed on the highway.

Just going by memory but I thought it was an option on a '10. I know it's standard on a '13.

I absolutely love how WGs look but the rake and thin from tire I found love me less then I love them. Maybe I'll go test ride the 07 Street Bob that they are selling for $6k. Similar look but less rake.

looked in my '10 sales brochure, it didn't show as an option and everything I can find says first available in '12. But could be wrong.

I have experience with that....I gave 3 wives their walkin' papers because they said it was either motorcycles and trucks or them.

Easy choice.....GTFO woman!

I'm running a 90/90 21 Pirelli on the front which is a little taller than the stock 80/90 21. Probably doesn't make a huge difference but I'm happy with it. The only issue I've had with that skinny tire is hitting an object like a rock in a turn. Scare the bejeezus out of you if you're not careful.

Perki48, I think you're right about ABS first WG option on a '12. I'm a big fan of it though. I've had a couple emergency situations crop up where I know the ABS helped big time. It's very much worth searching for a bike that has it.
