Silver 06 SuperGlide
Hi! New to the forum. I picked up my SuperGlide at the end of March. Forgot to tell the wife I was buying a Harley, but you know how that goes. I went to buy a bagger, but the Glide caught my eye. I liked it's clean, uncluttered look. It was like a Sportster on steroids. I also like the fact that in a group of Harley's, mine does not stand out. Just don't like a lot of folks standing around my ride. Since I've had it, I've installed a SE Stage 1 kit with the HD Slip-On's and remapped the ECU. I'm not happy with the HD Slip-On's, the sound is not that of the SE II's. I do plan on getting the new Bassani's 2 into 1 with the short megaphone. I've been looking for a sporty fairing, but haven't found what I wanted. I ordered a blue-dot taillight lense and a lay down license plate frane from J & P. The tailight lense came in and was scratched up on the sides and the top mounting flange lip was a bad manufacturing melting of the plastic. The license plate frame would not fit my NC license plate and I was not going to ream out the license plate frame so it would fit. Maybe a Kuryakyn unit will fit. I did not know the J & P stuff was from Taiwan. I've installed a Mustang seat, backrest for me, passenger seat and backrest for my wife (now she's a little happier) chrome flat style HD foot rest and highway pegs. I've go so many pegs hanging off it's beginning to look like a spider. Oh yea! I got a great deal at my local HD dealer.

re; leavenworth washington
Mountains? I have heard of them and even seen pictures of them, but here in Kansas the nearest ant hill is considered a mountain.[8D] The weather has been hot with temps at or over a 100 for three weeks. Finally got cooled down a bit this weekend.
