in the next few years I'll be retired from the Air Force and on a somewhat fixed income as I go to Harley mechanics school for my second career.
Firstly, thanks for your service but secondly, I wouldn't bet on actually working for an HD dealer as a mechanic. HD's profit margain is razor thin just lately and I highly doubt that they're hiring well-paid mechanics. Good luck tho!
I only get buyers remorse when i see Socal style deluxes. Cholos, apes and a skinny in front make me have 2nd thoughts about the train. 2nd bike will definitely have to be a Deluxe.
I am pissed at the person that started this thread. I could not sleep last night because I kept tossing around the idea of selling my bike or trading it in and getting a black denim Street Glide and then start all over again dropping money in it. DAMMIT!!!!!!!!
If I had to do it over again, I'd seriously consider a Street Glide.
I saw a Merlot Sunglow 103 for $20K at the dealer the other day, I felt my knees buckle.
I'm with Keithhu, I love my Lo but would like to have the Merlot Sunglow Street Glide with the 103 motor. That is one nice ride!!.
If I had it to do over again, I'd probably get the SG but every time I look at my bike, I just can't get rid of it. It's my first Harley so I'll keep it and when I can afford another one, get the SG.

Well turn that Train into a SoCal Train. Slam it, get black cholos, apes and some fat daddys. Won't be too many looking like it.

Thanks much for your support. I am doing the mechanic piece for the desire to do something I love. $15 per hour is fine with me and will suppliment my income just fine.
had the same problem! LOL... bought a 07 Streetglide, put thousands in to it for touring etc and never really did any touring ... just corrected the mistake with my new old 2004 CVO Deuce and love it! ride safe
