I will add dont even go look at the 09s, Stay away from the dealership..the new back tire and fender look AWESOME

I went in last Monday on my 06 SG just to check them out and you can see in my Sig what happened...

Four things I noticed first off riding the bike

1. Handles way better than my 06..you can feel that big rear tire and can lean the bastard much more in the corners.

2. Handles the bumps extremely smooth and solid

3. Those Brembo Brakes Rock...stops real real well

4. Still rumbles and feels like a Harley



cant wait until tomorrow at 7am...when I go riding with the guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So did they change the rear tire etc on the '09 similar to what they did to the softail chassis a few years ago?

I love the looks of the detachable set up and would love to add that to my '07

What do you like about the detachable set up? some guy at harley makes 6 figures a year designing bikes and that is the best he can do for detach mounts? They stick out!?

Nice looking bike, enjoy.
