Default Finally bought a Street Glide

I have been lurking on this site for a while. I have been wanting a Street Glide for a while now. I really liked my Vulcan 900 custom , but after 4 years I was ready to move up. I bought a 09 Street Glide with 13000 miles . It's not perfect has a couple places on it. Only has Vance an Hines slip on on it. It rides so good an has plenty of power for now. I know everyone knows what they look like but I'm proud an want to show it off.








A close up of the color.

Congrats on your new ride man. When you get a chance change the factory shift linkage to heim joints so you're not left stranded somewhere. Use the existing rod just replace the ends. Will feel like a solid shift compared to now and will not break.

I surely have to do that as well...

But to the OP -
Nice looking ride.
Get out and enjoy it.

I rode mine stock for a season. Lots of upgrades to do, if and when you choose. Better lighting, suspension, motor, etc, etc. This forum can be a great resource!

Nice bike bud.....enjoy the ride.
