Default Back in it! Picked up a FXDWG this weekend

So I sold my Super Glide Custom last year to fund a huge cross country motorcycle trip that failed miserably. I regretted selling my Harley right away, so I finally broke down and bought a brand new 2017 Wide Glide.


I want to do a few things to it, to it to make it mine but nothing crazy, I really like the lines wheels etc on it. So I just wanted to share and am super excited to be part of the community again

Very nice Welcome to the Clan of the Wide Glide; the finest bike HD builds!

So you say, 'nothing crazy'; we will see how long that lasts

Thanks, I am limited to budget, I have multiple bikes and race and or do track time with a few of them, also a dual sport I am gearing up for a partial cross country trip in July on.


My sport bike is the biggest maintenance diva on the planet and she goes through $600 is shoes in 2 days when I take her out.
My dirtbike(s) with race fee's, track fees, tires, suspension, constant outfit upgrades to look the part and pistons, then my supermoto chews everything thing up all adds up. Plus my shooting habit is bad too. Trust me, I get told by my buddies, take up gambling or drugs, it would be cheaper than my hobbies lol. If I had my 1 bike, yeah it would be crazy

Nice choice, it looks just like my 2011! Sounds like you've got all your bases covered now except for a full-on touring bike. Start saving up for a Road Glide next!

Limited to budget? You lost me after... well, everything else.

Congrats on the new bike. Excellent choice.
