That is one hell of a ride for your first bike! (Or is it first Harley?)


I was torn between the RK and SG. If I went with the SG it would have been that color as well. Congrats!!

Both. Use to ride bf's rice twenty years ago.

Originally ordered a Lo in mid August with mods was making it a pseudo bagger.

Took the leap and bought myself a nice present.

Should clarify I have some ride time on other bikes.

Why do anything half way?

How tall are you? Have you test driven one yet? The street glide, you'll find is a little lower than the other tourers, I believe. Someone thought you had a Reach seat on it already. If not a Reach Seat will be very helpful. You will love the street glide. Good luck.

Thank you for the advice. I am 5'4". This was the reason I originally only entertained the idea of purchasing a Lo. I have some time on a friend's bagger - but did a little bouncing on my toes. Not fun when you are vertically challenged and bike shopping.

Put a super reach seat on it - I believe that is what is in the picture. This put me solid on the ***** of my feet. They are lowering it another inch-should be good to go with that.

Thinking exhaust and a few personalized touches. I really like the way the bike is right out of the box.

If they are lowering the front, might as well get the chrome fork lowers at the same time and save 3.5 hours labor!

BTW, my wife is your height and rides a 2010 Street Glide - lowered 1" front and rear, Corbin Close Solo seat. You saved a ton of money skipping the Sportster 1200C, Dyna Lowrider, Softail Deluxe combo that got het to the Street Glide!
