Default 2009 Street Glide

I bought a 2009 Street Glide Saturday and love it!!! Got it from the original owner with 3800 miles. I'll post pictures as soon as I stop riding...LOL. Love the radio and cruise control. Thinking about doing 21" front wheel and lowering the rear. It's alot different than my Yamaha Roadliner.

Congrats on the ride, may want to think twice on lowering it any more. I didn't care for the ride and you'll find yourself draggin the floorboards alot. Went on a ride on the Pig Trail and as soon as got home I put the bike on the jack and took them off. Just my .02 though.

Definitely hard to shut 'er off once you turn the key - congrats & agree w/not lowering. I added floorboard extensions to allow for bigger breather & scrape every now/then even w/o lowering so be cautious. Wait'n for the pics...
