I had a 2013 Super Glide. I bought it brand new just when the 2014's were coming out. I wanted a 103, but since they were just coming out, I had to settle for a 96.
I got the dealer to build it up to a 103 stage 2 and gave him a list of accessories I wanted on it, including forward controls, changing both primaries for ones that didn't have the shifter shaft in it.
They pushed it from the showroom to the service department and tore it apart. The bike turned out great.
I found myself shifting into 6th gear at 100mph, and thought I would kill myself so I traded it in on a 2014 Ultra Limited.
The Super Glide was a great bike.
