Default Big move this weekend...

I have moved from my Slim over to a Street Glide...while my FLS will always be my first bike, the FLHXs is something really to behold. Glad I got my experieince on the Slim before going with a touring bike. Lovin' it!

I am selling a bunch of my old FLS parts, including seats and even some panhead emblems...I have em listed on eBay, but have the links here: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/harle...l#post13964180

Anyhow, in a few years I will get another softail...been a fun ride!

I just got my Heritage paid off about a year ago so I'm just enjoying the ride without paying a monthly bill.

However I probably will be adding a Street Glide to the garage within a couple of years as well but I can't imagine ever getting rid of my Heritage.

Dutch,
I have been thinking about making the switch to a SG myself, even if it means getting an older one (pre- high output 103)

The wife is pushing for me to get rid of the bike, I am hoping a more comfortable passenger set up will help with her wanting to go for longer trips. I just can't justify trying to turn the slim into a bagger, seems sacrelugious.

How are you liking the SG?

You will be back, lol. I had two Street Glides then sold them and got a softail. I even test rode another Street Glide last week at an open house, with custom paint, upgraded stereo, lots of chrome and I still can't give up my softail. Too much vibration and engine noise for me. Hope you have better luck….
