I'm new to the forums... I've been silently browsing the site for a few weeks. Damn you guys can get downright ruthless. I'll fit right in.

My new bike is the 2012 Dyna Wide Glide. That 103 does have a little more umph than the previous but not as much as I would have guessed. Anyway, I'm trying to attach some before pics but since I'm new to the thread they probably won't work. We'll see...

Right out of the crate. The ol' lady is trying to look badass... And, she does...

They just put it on the rack to start adding the personality...

16" Apes
Chrome controls
Screaming Eagle Heavy Chrome
V&H 2-in-2 Chrome
Tall Backrest
A bunch of other ****...

I'll keep you posted on the build and hopefully the forum will let me post pics better by that time.

Be good....

@fenderzig, I was struggling with the vivid black and custom paint or the old school flames. Settled on the flames...

Man those new Wide Glides are just so freaking ugly. Cant think of anyone in their right mind who would buy such a thing willingly!



Good looking W.G. man. Welcome!
