RE: 06 SG Totaled; 06 or 07?
ORIGINAL: Pearl Glide
I always stay away from first year, new release models, but I like the idea of a 96" motor and 6 speed. Plus you get the 170 rear tire on the 07s. But you can build a 95" and add a 6 speed to an 06. If your insurance does you right, I would get the 07 unless you get a "Great" deal on an 06. Do all those mods before you take deliver to get it covered under the factory warrenty.
Wait, I just looked at your pics, that bike can be fixed!!! Ha, made ya laugh. Fight your insurance if they say it's repairable. Short of a low speed fall in a parking lot, don't let um fix a bike.

That's what I get for listening to a salesman!!! Had one tell me on the viewing day at a local dealer that all 07 tour models had a 170 rear tire. Sorry for that bit of mis-information.

Dude, That is a very sad and scary sight. How did you keep from getting your leg mangled? I hope at least the driver of the vehicle that hit you gets a day in court.

I am also considering a Street Glide and I am having a hard time deciding between an 06 or 07. I was at a dealer today and was told that if i wanted to put true duels on a bike find a left over 06 because if I put them on an 07 the warranty would be void. I don't know why he would of told me this unless it was true because he had no 06's in stock and I was going to put a deposit on an 07 that is due in this week. He even did a search on the computer and gave me a list of dealers that had the 06 left overs. What do you guy's think? I have a 02 EG Classic now with a carb and love it so much I am going to hang on to it.

Total B.S [sm=WTFsgign.gif] . It doesn't matter what year HD you have. If you change something and attempt to make a warranty claim that directly resulted from the modification the MOCO will most likely tell you to pound sand. However, it is pretty difficult for them to deny a claim for squeeking brakes or a bad passing lamp on the addition of an exhaust system, air filter, and ecm download. I don't know why he would tell you that. My dealer is installing exhaust systems and air filters everyday on new 2007's and they are not warning about warranty issues at all.

Some how i ended up being thrown about 50 ft in front of the bike. I also think the engine gaurd saved my leg. the bike slid across the road and got pinned under the gaurd rail.
