Default 2019 Street Glide Special

I've said forever that I have no interest in a NEW Harley. Then I saw the 2019 SGS at the dealer today in Wicked Red Denim. They have already installed the Batwing Chizeled handlebars, different grips and mirrors.

If you have one, what are your thoughts so far? Anything I need to know regarding any known issues?

I may pull the trigger on it tomorrow since my wife is pushing me hard to get it.

She's excited about me getting rid of my Heritage and Electra Glide to get this one, which frees up space in the garage, haha! We'd be down to her Sportster, this SGS and Her SS Camaro. Who am I to argue?

The 2019 SGS is a great bike. However, that color??????? Just not feeling it at all. I guess not all colors appeal to all people; that's why HD makes so many different colors. Just my humble opinion. Good luck!

The 19 SGS is a great bike. You can't go wrong with that purchase. I have been partial to the "red" bikes but opted for the silver flux/black fuse.

Just got my '19 SGS 4 weeks ago and loving it. Can't say I like the denims so I chose the Baracuda Silver, like the one behind in your pic. The 114 is very powerfull and the hardest thing to do is keeping it under 80.

Pull the triger.

The color is what caught my eye. Everyone seems to have a blacked out bike these days, but you're right, we all have different tastes.

This I like. No one in Vegas drives under 80, and once you're out of town the speed limits are 75 or 80, which means everyone does nearly 100.
