well not my first big bike.. second one actually....my suzuki weighed about 800 lbs as well... it was comparable design and body wise to a HD Heritage softail... but it was just a rice burning version... i felt very comfortable but i would love to build my riding skills considering i have only been riding for about 4 years which is not near what many of you guys have been riding... i have a license for Motorcycle and was going to do the riding course the next time i get close and have the time for one... im a reservist by nature but being gone for 2.5 years outta the last 5.5 doesnt leave much time for home... i think i saw the portion of the video with a cop riding the dragon so thats where the incredible control came in... but i will get the video and see whats up... my bike is in iowa right now buried in a state with 10-20 foot snow drifts... . thanks for the offer but i think i want the pleasure of the break in...especially being my first brand new bike and brand new harley at that.....

Click on the link below to see what I've done to my wife's bike.

I've also added the rear fender and streatched saddle bags from a 2010 Screamin Eagle Street Glide (just added the saddle bags over the weekend) however, I don't have photos on this computer.

THANK YOU for serving and welcome home. Without you and many women and men like yourself we would not be able to enjoy this wonderful hobbie. My advice is ride ride ride and more ride. lol also save save save and save some more because the road is endless in upgrades. I just bought my firist HD as well this year and it to was a street glide. I wish I would have done this years go but I was to busy road racing.... So save and ride... Enojoy!!!!!!!!!
