Man, that bike is nice, Phast Lap! Love those wheels too. So, how you liking the Arnott air ride so far? I gotta say, one of the best looking bikes I've seen!

WOW, super nice! Not a fan of the tour pak, but looks very nice on yours with the set up! Eyebrow headlight ring is the only thing that bothers me, Ilike just the normal bullring. I tried that ring and made my scoot look like a locomotive, but it is what you like! Bitch'en wheels and very clean and tastfully done! Over all one hell of a nice ride!!!

That is one of the sweetest SG's on the block. It would have serious consideration for BOTM. Its not that its super special or something......but its seems just right to me for some reason. I love the solo seat w/ the tourpack, and the spoilers on the lids of the tour-pack and saddle bags IIRC they have running lights/brake lights in them.

All in all...it is one hell of a nice looking SG!

Phast Lap, The Glide looks awesome! Question, as I'm looking at new wheels for my Glide:
1. How's the handling and ride with the 21" front?
2. Did you lower the front end?
3. How has moving to a single Brake Cal and Router up front changed the braking ability of your bike?

Ride Hard but Ride Safe!

1. How's the handling and ride with the 21" front? the bike sets different when stopped, the ride is better IMO
2. Did you lower the front end? yes, was lowered 1"
3. How has moving to a single Brake Cal and Router up front changed the braking ability of your bike? have not noticed a difference yet, still bedding the new pads
