Default New Wide Glide

So I picked up my new 2012 Wide Glide 2 weeks ago. Hit 800 miles today, not to many I know but as much as I could put on her with work. Mods so far are Vance and Hines Short Shots, SE Heavy Breather, Power Vision and a HD Smooth Styling Passenger Pillion for the OL. She only made it about 20 miles on the stock seat before the b****ing began lol. The Pillion doesn't look the best but gotta keep momma happy!! The stock one rubbed the fender pretty good, we will see if i can buff it out tomorrow. I also ordered some detachable bags from Leatherpros yesterday.Going to start blacking the bike out soon and more pics to follow.

Bike looks great so far! I don't think that pillion looks too bad, but what ever keeps her happy.... don't forget to ditch them reflectors. Really like the new wg without the flames. Keep us posted...

Beautiful...... The FXDWG is the sexiest model made, no BS power, great chop/bob looks. Just the finest HD on the market...... I buy a lot of used bikes, but this year is gonna be my year, that's my dream bike dude..... Congrats!

Nice bike! I sure do love my '11 Vivid Black DWG. What is the HD part number for that pillion pad you got? My wife's big **** is complaining about the stocker too.

Nice bike. Just remember when the OL is on the bike, the pillion can't be seen, and if riding solo, you can't see directly behind you to look at the pillion seat, so all is good, and like was said, keep the OL happy. That's normally where the OK for new farkles comes from.... tomp dd50
