If I could do it over again I would have bought Boss bags and a Big bore for my 95 and been done.

Man thats a nice SG wish i had one Now!

My wife asked me the other day to trade in my wide glide for a road glide (which I want anyways) so she can ride in comfort...... so i put the stock seat and detachable backrest on the WG and said... here ya go honey!

The WG stays, RG will come around june 09 if not before.... but the WG stays!

I'm 27 and would be miserable on a FLH...the biggest I'd have gone was a Fat Boy. I couldn't be happier with my Street Bob.

Bought a showroom condition, used, '07 Wide Glide with 900 miles on it this year. Been riding for 30+ years and have had everything from sport bikes to V-rods to cruisers and can tell you without any doubt that this Wide Glide is the one. Best all around bike I have ever experienced. Just installed a 103" with Woods 6 and some additional chrome and it is near perfect. I'll have this one for the duration. Still have a 1200 Sporty for short romps.
