I'm looking at purchasing my first Harley this weekend -- 2009 Super Glide. Are there any known trouble spots I should look out for when inspecting the bike? I know some models have notorious issues and I'm just trying to cover my bases. I tried a search but didn't have much luck.
Great bike. Really handles well with the 19" front tire and 30 degree rake. One of Harleys best. Has the stage 1 been done already and do you mind sharing the price?
I just bought an 09 a few months ago and have loved riding it and more so making it uniquely mine. It is a great bike and all around good performer that responds well to minor (stage 1) performance mods.
I sure like it much more than my 07 Honda VTX 1300, and even more then my old 96 softail, I fit better on this than I did on the softail. The newer FI engines are pretty reliable, less tempermental then the old carb'd 80ci, though I do kind of miss the lope of that old cam'd engine.
The best thing about an HD is that they are such an icon and there are so many options for them, and enthusiast like me to share and bounce ideas off, aka this site....you'll be addicted in no time!
