Default Ready to Take the Leap

Hi Everyone. Think this is my first official post. Be gentle. Now that I have some time under my wheels, I am looking to do an upgrade this Spring. Currently riding a 2018 48 Special which my wife owns but that's another story. I really have my heart set on a Street Glide or a SGS. I originally had been looking at a 2019 SGS with the 114. 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.

thank you for being a FF. Didnt know they had editions for that. Not that it matters much but the air cleaner is for a older sg. just a observation is all.

I love my 14 sg. I ride mine tho. 35k being is Michigan still cant ride yet.

Stupid question: Are you sure that's the bike? Every FF model I've seen has a gold stripe running through both sides, and they are either red or black in overall color.

Ride safe!
