Bought a new 2010 Street Glide at the end of the year. At the time, I was worried about $ and went without ABS etc. I just came back from the dealer and he is willing to sell me a 2011 with the "power package" - (103 cu, ABS and security) for my bike and somewhere between $5K and $6K. I really like the 2011 103 (seat, dual pipes, special badging) but I struggling to decide if its worth the extra jack. Curious what y'all think. Thanks.

 

Must have gotten over the money thang if you are even thinking about losing 6k in a year.

 

Look at what I ride and you can guess that is a deal I would not make. The new bikes are always nice but there will be another new one next year. Chasing the shiny can be quite expensive but you gotta do what makes you happy. The new ones have a lot to offer. I'll bet I did not help at all :-)

Wow.

I'd throw $6k at my 2010 and have a dual exhaust hot rod 107 with ported/polished heads, TTS Mastertune, Woods cams, and a set of 21"/18" wheels...

Forget the 2011...

Just my humble opinion.

 

Well, my answer to you is: "that depends."

Does your 2010 FLHX have any modifications...engine, exhaust, chrome, etc? Are you really doing this just for the ABS? If so, $5-6K is an awfully expensive ABS option.

You can put a dual exhaust on your 2010...you can also change your seat. The stock 103 engine isn't going to be any huge performance enhancement over the 96. A stage one and a cam on your 2010 SG will blow away a stock 103 EPA detuned bike.

I guess I'm kind of leaning towards no...it's not worth it. Good luck with your decision.

 

Too much $$ ...as others said- you can do a lot to your 2010 for 5-6K. My vote would be to stick with what you have

not worth it, 5-6k is alot of money considering what was already said. the power pckg he wants to sell you , can be put on over time thats the beauty of it. thats probally one deal i would walk away from unless your nest egg has survived the crash.

 

I am with jcleary on that. Keep the 2010. I just put a HQ107ST in mine for under 3000. I aleady had the seprt and se ac, got a fatcat exhaust for the 107. All total out everything I am less than 4500. I did do the engine myself so saved some green there. You can add the 103 if you like but the 107 would be better. Something to think about.

 

Keep your 2010 and stick five grand into it, I don't care for any of the 2011 colors.

 

If you've got the extra bucks and really want the 2011 model, I would say go for it. At the end of the day, you're really the only one you need to please.

Putting more money into you 2010 may not make you happy if you're set on having ABS.
