Default another new wide glide!!

Man there are a lot of new Wide Glides on here. I guess I wasn't alone when I fell in love with this bike. Funny thing is before now I've never really favored the Dyna line. The Street Bob had caught my eye but I actually went in looking to buy a Crossbones, until I sat on one.....

I had heard they made a new Wide Glide but I never was really keen on the older ones so I just dismissed it. THEN I Saw this Wide GLide on the floor and I knew at once I had to have it. So I left with it that same day. Now I cant wait to mod it! (already pulled the baffles out and opened them up)

I got the red, the flake really shows nice when in the sun. I almost got the flames but my bike I traded up had flames and it was time for something a little different.

You sure weren't alone at all, I had the same thing.
I loved the looks already from the photos but when I actually saw her on the floor I just knew that I had to have her!

Oh and by the way, I'm not sure why but all the pictures I've seen of the red sunglo version just doesn't make it no justice.
It looks a lot better in real life.

Beautiful Bike Scottyd, the only thing I don't like about the older wg's is the rear fender, yours looks s*#t hot!

Congrats on the new bike, the first thing I did was drill the rivets out of the baffles and removed them, the bike only had 9 miles at the time. I felt that the bike lost a ton of torque after removing them, Imho.
I have now installed the supertrap 2-1 with no air or fuel upgrades with no issues after 730 miles.
enjoy the bike, They go great!
Here is some picks of the mods i have done.

Just as you, saw it once, fell in love and had to trade in the nightster. Now I generally don't like red at all, but that is one sharp looking bike! Congrats!
