RE: Bought My '06 Wide Glide today
Congrats on your new ride!!!
I ordered V&H Big Radius pipes, Stage 1 kit, and SERT. I heard the V&H Big Radius on an 05 WG and loved it, but I am still waiting for the 06's to come in. I have been told they should be here around Jan 15.

[sm=americanasmiley.gif] Congrats on the new WG, and glad you really like it.
I have an 05 and I too just love the look, seems like the WG is getting more popular these days. Ride safe & enjoy it. That color is terrific!

Congrats on the new bike. I have a Vivid Black 06 WG also, so I think your bike is awesome! I did a stage one with SEII slashcut slip ons, SE high flow A/C, and the download cartridge. sounds and runs great.

RE: Bought My '06 Wide Glide today
I appreciate all the advice you guys have given me. I really like the deep rumble of the 2 into 1 exhaust, but I'm not so sure about the look. After that, it's between the V&H Big Radius' and the Short Shots staggered. I've heard the short shots on another wide glide and absolutely loved it. That's probably what I'll be going with. I also plan on getting a SERT or PCIII, a better AC, and maybe a hypercharger, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Once again, thanks for all the advice. I'll post pictures in about 2 months when I pick her up.

I have another question for you guys. What about the price? I paid $16,212 with only tax and tags left to pay. I feel like it was a good deal, but I never contacted the dealership back in the states to ask them. I am going to later today, but I was just curious as to what you all think about it.
Thanks again

Congrats on the Wide Glide....great bike.
I went with the Python Staggered Duals, and the stage 1 efi kit. The pythons are loud and the crack really nice!

RE: Bought My '06 Wide Glide today
I finally got the chance to call a couple of dealers back in the states and they both told me that the bike alone (no freight, no alarm, etc) would come out to $18,500, so I'm really happy with my deal. I think I've also decided on what pipes to get.... V&H Short Shots Staggered, it was between those and some Rinehart 2-into-1's. I should be ordering those within the next few weeks, along with a power commander and a SE A/C. Of course more mods will be to follow, but they'll have to wait for tax return time.
