Finally!
I pick up my 05 Wide Glide tonight from a private seller. First Harley.
I did a lot of research and gleaned a lot of useful information from this and other sites. I now know more about Harley's than the last two or three owners I talked to before choosing this one. I have much to learn yet I'm sure.
I will post pics ASAP, but here are the stats.
05 FXDWGI with about 4k miles. D&D exhaust, high flow air cleaner and a RevTech DFO. It also has S&S 570 gear driven cams. It also has some extra chrome here and there. The guy sold it to me because he wants to buy a new Custom. From the little bit of riding I've done on other Wide Glides of the same year, I can tell those cams really light this engine up.
I plan on doing a lot of work to the bike of course, that's half the fun. Wheels, seat, more chrome, big sucker and a SERT are likely first on the list.
Anyway, thanks for all the help and I look forward to moving from someone who leeches info to someone who, at least occasionally, gives it too.

Here it is. Forgive the quality of the photo, one of my next purchases is going to be a new camera.
