2008 FLHX - First 1400 Miles
So I sold the FXDSE and bought a Street Glide. Wanted something with a fairing and the glide caught my eye.
Here is a run down on her.
Custom Harley factory paint. #11 of 200
Cruise
Security System
Gargage Door Opener
Edit: Heated Grips
Bub 7s
Heavy Breather
SERT
Mustang Saddle
Bike rides great. First bike with cruise for me. Never knew what I was missing. Don't know how I lived without it.
I just put the Mustang on. The stock saddle was terrible for me. After an hour I was miserable. Rode 4 hours today with the Mustang and there is no comparison. I don't know how Mustang compares to other saddle makers, but it is truly a great saddle.
The Bub 7s are LOUD under load ... at least loud to me. However, they have a great sound ... like a nice old V8 if you will. I love the sound but not yet sure if I love the volume. More to come on that.
The new Brembo brakes are very good. I wish I had ABS but who knows, maybe the next one. These do the job much better than the Harley breaks on my 2007.
Here is a pic of her.
See you on the road.

RE: 2008 FLHX - First 1400 Miles
I'm like you. I just traded up to a SG from a Bob. Night and day difference.
I'll be upgrading to a Mustang w/ backrest myself once i can afford it. I had it on the Bob and will never go to anything else.
You happen to have a sound byte or video of the pipes? I'd love to hear how they sound.
You not getting any squeaking with the Brembo?
Grats on the purchase!
