Enjoy the ride. Sound like you walked away from the dealer with an attitude. Good for you. When I went from a 107 to a 114 At first It seemed to have less power than my 107 had. The more I rode the more I knew I was wrong. It just felt different. I don't give a rats tail about HD warranty games. Did a woods x22 came FM 2-1-2 header Dynojet Tuner FM jack pot mufflers. Talk about a wake .

I think so Actually it looks almost like the SG Anniversary I'm trading in. It's just a nice combination. That and I like chrome and not a fan of black everything

Good to read that you pulled your service order because of the snarky service manager. Also, letting the owner know why was a good idea. With the prices HD charges for service you should be getting top shelf service. Hope you enjoy the new ride.

Congrats, that is a nice looking scoot. You will love the 114, the torque on those engines just pulls and pulls. Hills are a cake walk, even loaded two up. And if the stock torque isn't enough for you, a simple cam swap and tune will really wake it up.

Yeah, my Try-Gllide had the 114 in it. But between the weight of the Trike and riding 2 up it wasn't all that snappy. Well, both of those are not present on my current ride so I expect a fun ride

Nice, 8k upgrade I would’ve at least my options on upgrade, but then I was in sales (auto). I always told people in service dept, never put good money after bad, meaning 4 or 5 years plus vehicle big ticket servicing and or repairing. Glad it worked out, I too am a lover of the chrome look 👍🏻.
