Default New classic

Well after much figuireing out what to do I went back to the Classic and the color that will help me in keeping the swirl marks out , YEA!
She feels lighter then my Ultra and ran smoother which I can not figuire out except for the SE Compensator which comes standard on the 2011.
It really ran smoother and much easier to move around on the ***** of my feet.
Now I have the Progressives 940 for the rear, Seat has been done by Mean City Cycles ( Great Fit Thanks MCC) and the Quick Disconnect Kit for the Tour Pak. I get to keep the Rails and lights and all the items I wanted to keep and lower and lighten it at the same time.
Thanks HD for making the Classic as well as The SG.

Congrats brother, I just got my Ultra Limited yesterday.

I wanted a Classic, but they had sold out, and if they brought one on they told me I would have to pick up the tab on shipping and what not, so as I was going to leave they talked to me about the Limited and cut me a deal I couldn't refuse.

In 2006 I really wanted to buy a 2007 Streetglide. I went to the dealer and finally decided on a 2007 EG Classic. Crashed and totaled it 3 weeks later. After I healed up I got a Heritage but missed the Classic.

In October 2008, when the new 09s were out, I asked my dealer why he didn't have any new 2009 EG Classics. A couple weeks later he called me and said he had a red EG Classic in. So the next day I went to buy it, but this Black Ice/Blue Ice Streetglide grabbed me so I bought it instead. Oh well. I did buy the matching Tourpak so I can put that on and pretend I have a Classic. LOL
