Buying a used 08 St/Glide
After having my share of dyna's and softails I found an 08 copper and black Street Glide with just 4 grand on it.....
Now that I'm on the "touring" side I'll be back to asking a lot of questions...
BUT first....I did notice like a heim joint from the from top rocker box (front cylinder) to the frame
That's the first time I ever seen anything like that
ANYBODY else or does anyone know what it is???
I'm closing the deal tonight
This guy put almost everything on this bike and some even I will remove.....
He also has air ride in the rear with a factory looking (2) small push buttons on the left side of the bars....
I wonder if that's a Harley set-up....
He's not around to ask because he passed away.....
Maybe guys here in this forum could help.....
It has security....cruise....all things I've never had and kinda lost....
Thanks for your help.....

He probably installed Arnott rear air suspension. You'll have to mess with it to find the sweet spot with air pressures.
The top heim joint is stock from '08 to present. It helps keep the engine in line with the frame. Do not remove it!

To answer BZB....The switch is (2) push buttons...It's an Legend system.....I guess pretty expensive.....

Got 25k on my 08 SG. Get ready for the Copper Top - Duracell jokes. Ditch the stock windshield and get something a little taller for comfort and find a better seat for the long rides. I ran V&H slip-ons with their Fuel Pac tuner for most of those miles with no issues.
