I think anyone can purchase bike after 90 days unsold on the floor.

And why I said every dealer is different on this.

The bike in the photo and the bike in the video have different air cleaner covers... ??? The photo also looks like it has a fairing vent, but I can't tell for sure? Wheels are right...

Assuming it's a '14, I'd say enjoy the hell out of it and get the sparkly new one after you win the lottery.

While at my wife's dealership this weekend for a Beach Party, I found a black 2014 SG Firefighter Edition with with the 103 with just over 7500 miles on it. It was a trade in on a new SGS, its not even on their website yet as it just got traded in. It think it has ABS based on the cable that runs along the front brake line. There is a rectangle fob on the fork lock key set which I think means it has the security system. It has the smaller radio without navigation, not a big concern for me. I have been doing some reading and it sounds like it was a limited production item sold to and reserved for first responders. I was a firefighter for 10 years so sort of like the idea of having one. Anyone have a SG FF Edition? Anything to look at before buying it? Thanks.

One thing to consider, the bike in the video is factory fresh. The OP's photo is a 5 year old pre-owned bike. The PO could have swapped out the AC assembly, as they are interchangeable. The seat doesn't look OE either, never seen that on a OE Street Glide.

I think I am in that boat that I'd rather have a used one than not get one at all if it would come down to it. It does have the adjustable fairing vent, the smaller Boom radio, the correct wheels, and found out it does have ABS. Don't need navigation otherwise I wouldn't consider a bike except the new SGS. It appears to have the 2013 air cleaner, an easy fix if I'd want to do that.

Welcome
+1 on that

Rushmores were beefed up Twinkies. I'd hit it.

Nothing wrong with the football! It’s just unusual to see someone go “backwards”, as it were. If it’s got the vent, it’s a Rushmore. I love mine for sure!

Well, backwards as it may be...I went from the Football to an Evo air cleaner cover as I liked it better. Each to their own I guess.

Like I say - absolutely NOTHING wrong with that! It's just unusual.
