Question Need Help Buying New Street Glide
Hey I think im going to buy a new 2011 street glide Saturday. It will be a 96 ci and im not sure what color yet. Is this a good bike? Is there anything I should know? Im comming off of a 2008 night train so it will be an upgrade for me. Thanks for your help.

1st off, welcome to the forum!

I thought the title meant financial help, haha!

Go for the optional 103 ci upgrade if you do it or you will wish you did later on.

I went from a NT to a Street Glide. I think you're going to be pretty happy. I don't know of any issues with the new bike. I have an 09 and am quite happy with it.

Great choice in a new ride. I have an 09 street glide, no issues just a nice ride / money pit :-)

If you can swing it get the power package
As mentioned above if it was me I would.

You'll be thrilled with the bike upgrade. I opted for the 103, but that's a personal choice.
