Hello People
Sorry for not posting lately. Been real busy. Just needed to ask a question. First let me explain what brought about this question.. I have been teaching my wife how to drive my bike. Well this past Saturday she dumped my bike. Now she wants an engine guard on my bike, but I want forward controls. From what I have found, I cannot have both on my 05 Dyna Super Glide FXD. I was wondering if anyone knew otherwise. My wife severely bruised her foot, and did about 600.00 worth of damage to the bike. She was right at a complete stop when she lost it. Thanks for any and all help.

RE: Hello People
A friend of mine let me ride his old Honda to get used to riding a full size bike on the street. I told him in return I would let him ride my Harley after I got it. That hasn't happened yet. He hasn't really been dropping any hints, but to be fair I did tell him he could ride it. The above post makes me wonder though.

Get her in a Motorcycle Safety course!! It's the best way for her to learn and will reduce your stress immensely. Plus she will be riding their bike instead of your Harley while learning -- just my opinion.

Don't let her drive a bike she can't handle. With the engine guard you might protect her in some situations, but not in all.

RE: Hello People
I believe there is an engine guard that can be used with forward controls. But I would just get her the engine guard and then by yourself a new wideglide. Then you will both be happy.
