What's up guys. I had that itch yesterday so I visited my local dealer and traded in my softail breakout for this '16 street glide. I'm absolutely in love with this bike. I kind of went overboard and having them install the 120ST. I figured wth, single guy no wife, no kids, good job...spend the money. I take delivery in two weeks! Hopefully ON Valentine's Day lol
Tell me what you think. There will be more goodies installed besides the motor once it's delivered ;-)

Sweet, brother! That's a beautiful Glide. No wife, no kids, huh? Well, I did the wife thing already, but I got two kids. Enjoy your freedom! Be safe.

Very nice. Good luck. How's that work though? The bike comes with a 110 and your taking that out and having them install a 124? Or your able now to pick your engine from Harley ?

Thanks man. Bike has a 103 stock, dealer installing Harley factory screamin eagle 120 street. Bike maintains original factory warranty and the motor has its own warranty. I keep my original 103 engine to do what I want with it....likely sell it.

very nice. Is that a paint set for this year or did the dealer do that? Are you doing anything to the 120?
