Default My New Ride

Just bought my new 2013 Wide Glide. Still breaking it in.

What are some of the must have or upgrades you have done to yours?

stage one is the most important. Take your time and do your homework before you rush into anything.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new bike...looks great

Congrats on the new bike. If you're not sure what you want to do to it, ride it for a while and you'll figure it out. Don't be in too much of a hurry as you'll end up wasting money.

Are you more of a form or function rider? Come up with a plan and then go at it. Have fun.

Yup, the Boss rides too. Hers is a 2011 Sporster 1200C.

I am thinking of starting with the pipes as they are very quiet. Then the AC would be next. After that, it's all up in the air.

I was not going for a Wide Glide when I went to my local dealer. I was actually looking at the Switchback and or Street Bob the day before. But when I came in the day after, they had it out up front (new stock) and the rest is history.

Exhaust was my number one must have! Dealt with the decel popping for a while, eventually got an a/c and tuner.
