Finally bought a street glide!!!

I got a 2011 vivid black streetglide with the "power pac" and cruise. Traded the 2006 Road King Classic. I do have a few questions for you guys. I'm having the chrome front end pack installed. First question, should I have screaming eagle fork oil installed? Next question; is the Harley hidden antenna worth the $50 or should I ebay one? Fianally, how many hours labor should i be charged for this work?

On the fork oil, unless you want a super stiff front suspension, your better off mixing the SE oil with the stock fluid for a 50/50 mix. I did the SE oil only at first and it was tooooo stiff in my opinion. After doing the 50/50, the ride was more comfortable and the front end dive on braking was not there either..........

Absolutely on the SE fork oil. The ride is not stiff in the least.

On the hidden antenna, check out Hogtenna. It's cheaper and works fabulously. I've used on 2 different bikes.
