If you are going new get the ABS even if you have to wait.
The one on the floor did not have ABS. They found me one with ABS and I should be picking it up by this weekend. They did not feel like it would be a problem to get it from the other dealer. The wife just pulled in on HER Street Glide. Dang that thing sounds good. 10,000 miles or bust.

Congratulations -
Echo the comments re ABS and the tall windshield (if you are 6ft or more)
The stock shield was a major shock the first time I hit the freeway. I now use the tall for trips & a shorty for local rides.
After riding a BMW LT for several years I got to love the abs.
HD did a great job with the ABS - worth every penny
Enjoy the summer
