Thumbs up 2nd bike, first post

Definitely excited to be making this post. I'm the proud new owner of a 2012 Wide Glide. Picked up the bike 2 weeks ago in North Carolina on a good deal, good enough that it was worth the 17 hour round trip drive

Little history:
Picked up this 08 883 Sporty last year. Without getting into many details, it wasn't the bike for me. It might be good for some people, definitely not me. I got it on a deal, and I could not wait to let it go.


Fast forward to two weeks ago, I found a great deal on a wide glide set up just like I wanted. V&H Short shots, 103 motor, and a simple air cleaner. I didn't want much more because I definitely enjoy modding my toys.
Loaded the WG right into the bed of my 250!

I knew the reflector wouldn't even make the whole ride home, didn't like it when I saw it. First mod, check!

Shot of the bike with pipes and cleaner:

Shot of the bike with my truck. I have a bit of a theme going as you can tell. Up till now I just did full reflector delete and plastidipped the air cleaner cover and horn cover.


Can't wait for more mods, and more posts. Looking forward to joining the community here!
