Breathtaking pic, and I know it's nothing like seeing it for real.
I'm hoping to be riding from Salt Lk City to just north of Denver (mostly on 40 I believe) on thru to 36 headed east in a few weeks. You anywhere near there?

Just MO but I love the new WG. I prefer it to the older models except for the handlebars but I'd be changing them either way. A Wide Glide has to have Apes and not baby Apes, 14in or higher. Tossing that butt a$$ fugly Bobtail fender was the best thing they could do. Love the seat and old school type sissy bar. I'd throw pipes on it, Apes and ride the snot out of it.

Welp if you take 40 all the way to I70 to get to 36 you'll go right by me and will pass that picture in the process. Other wise you'll peal off on 34 thru Granby and Grand Lake over Trail Ridge RD into Estes Park and hit 36. The turn off at 34 is about an hour and 15 from my house and before the pic, but if you route that way You'lll see plenty of that.
Hey are we off topic? Sorry! Just a couple WG traditionalist talking here...lol.

Hey 1bad,
I had an 01 WG in that color for about a year. Really liked it!
More pics would be appreciated.
Oh ya, I'm thinking add some chrome and some apes to the 10 WG,
maybe chrome rims...could be a WG.
I wouldn't mind a 180 tire on mine!

I wonder... how many WG traditionalists leave their bikes stock? Is the major rub with the new bike the fender and blacked out engine? Pipes and bars always seem to be the first things dumped in order to personalize one's bike anyway.

El, you know probably99% of all owners swap exhausts.....thats nearly a given. To each their own. The rub is the MoCo claiming the new bike to be a Wide Glide with no differentiation between what was traditonally the WG, and their new 'concept'. Call it what it is, a Wide Glide Gen XX or something. Bet there wouldn't be nearly the 'rub' as calling this aberrration simply a Wide Glide.
Naw its no an aberration...., well yes it is. But if ya like it, so be it.

I saw a black wg today....while I don't think it retains ANY of the traditional wg look and would have preferred they call it something else....<don't really know why I give a fck> I do have to eat some crow....take off that awful fatbob exhaust and throw just about ANY other on and it's not a bad looking bike. personally I would like it to have apes if I were buying it...and it does look like a model made of streetbob and fatbob parts....it's not bad looking and felt fairly nice. I wouldn't rush out and sell my sb for it...but I would gladly ride with someone that rides one. And THAT is all I'm gonna say about it.
