I just got my 2001 FXDWG ... have been dying waiting for the weather to get better so I can get riding ... it's my first bike and I fell in love as soon as I sat on her, at 6'1" it just fit like a glove ... I admit it ... I had no idea of the history, I just liked the bike ... now, I'm proud to not only own a HD, but one damn good model too!

Don't let the fact they're out of production stop you, if that's what you want. The wide glide is a fine bike. In the next life when I have a 4 car garage, I'm adding a Bad Boy (they only made them 3 years) and a 1980 Sturgis too! Far as the best bike Harley ever made...my vote goes to the FXR!

Yessirree, deals are out there to be had...see my sig. Got mine thru ebay just over a year ago. Not a misprint; just 546 miles when I got it. Had the full set of narrow-band billet grips/pegs, Stg.1, V&H StraightShots, QD 'shield, HD Bags, mini-sissy, rack, flush pop-up gas & gauge...all-in-all over $4K in tasteful goodies. Like someone earlier said, gonna be a buyer's market (for a long while). You won't regret a Wide.

I put the dual on my Wide Glide, the extra light on dark country roads is awesome.

Oh and the factory custom Harley colors are the best WG colors...IMHO
OK so I am biased....

the last WG to roll off the assembly line is still sitting at a HD dealership somewhere ...
Seriously ..... dealers still have them ..... probably because of the duracell paint ... no offense to owners of that paint ..... it just doesn't do the WG justice.
BUSCHA - yours is my favorite WG on this forum - looks perfect to my eye.
