Sweet! Never look back and enjoy the ride.

Is that Dark Blue Peal? If so, are you getting the inner fairing customed painted? I didn't think HD made them in that color. I still have that on my wishlist for my Ultra.

I have a Clearview 9 1/2" with Recurve.

I'm 6' 0" sit up pretty straight and it works really well.

Yes it's Dark Blue Pearl and I just ordered it from Zanotti for $444.38
(a $129.29 savings, rather than ordering it from my local dealer)

The paint code for Dark Blue Pearl is CPC
I believe the part number is 58468-09CPC but check it out before you order one.

Some add ons on order are:
Chrome from end
Color matched Painted Inner Fairing
Coastal Moto "Cyclone wheels and Rotors"
21" Front and 17" Rear with a 200 tire.

Wow, didn't you trade an 07 Fatboy for the 08 SG for the 09 SG? I'm really jealous. I wish I had your job! Congrats.

Thanks, I may have to order one from Central Texas HD. They offer a 15% Hog discount, plus a 5% rebate on their customer loyalty card. So it works out to 20% off. You still have to pay tax, but no shipping, so it's worth it to me to buy local.

I'd love to buy everything local, but you'd think a guy that just bought three new Harleys in three years, would get a discount of some sort on accessories. But not from my dealer, the owner is actually pissed at me, because I went to another dealer for a price check with this last trade, that he had to match.
