I'd love to see pics of your mini apes with risers

Both are bad to the bone, but when I rode my WG for the first time checking it out, it spoke to me a haunting tune.....

I will eventually give the deposit early next week. But it will be delivered in late March. I will be waiting and waiting and waiting. Then will post pictures for sure.

I'm also 5'7 but after I rode the WG I was in love. I purchased some heel rest and now it's all good. Whether it's a WG or a Street bob I guarantee you'll be riding around with a big *** dumb grin on your face once you get your bike. Congrats!

Nice! Man I hope they won't have me wait that long too!

Cheaper & easier. It's very comfortable & handles fine.. especially after replacing the bushings with poly.

I personally like the Street Bob but would love to have the 2010 wide glide fender and grab bar on it.
