Would like to introduce myself.......
Today I traded in my 05 XL1200C Sporty for a 05 Wide Glide. I am a regular poster in the Sporty section but never here. I loved my Sporty but it just wasnt good for two up riding because Iam a big guy.
So anyway........I hope I can join you guys and get a lot of much needed advice on this model.
The first thing I noticed was that I felt like the bike was really slow compared to the Sporty, but then I looked at the speedo and it said I was doing 70. I felt like I was doing 35-40. This bike is very smooth. I am not looking for a 6th gear like I did on the Sporty. I love that!!
Right now my only problem is that I need somelonger foot controls.
This bike only has 5500 miles and has the Screaming Eagle intake and pipes. I assume it was properly remapped because it runs really good. I never had a fuel injected bike so I have nothing to compare it too.
I just snapped this picture, I will get some real pics tomorrow.

Welcome to the Dyna family, I also went from a Sporty. I could not be happier. Love the Street Bob. You will learn alot from these guys, they are all a great source of information. Ride safe.

Welcome to the Dyna family. Tons of great info on here. The WG looks great. If you need extensions, for the forward controls, check out the Kury ones.
