Default I Love It!
Picked up my 2011 vivid black 103 streetglide yesterday. I've already put 390 miles on it this weekend. I could'nt be happier. The only thing that I don't like is the bars, but I knew that before I bought it. Yaffe 12" monkey bars on soon. Changing pipes after the break-in. I loved my Honda VTX, but this bike handles so much better its hard to imagine. Just got to get use to the fairing during slow manuevers, the forks are heavier with it than the VTX with a windshield. I even like the short windshield, but am going to get one a little taller. Here is one happy camper. And the wife loves the sundowner seat. No pics yet, I've been too busy riding.

Congrats on the new Glide. You're going to love even more after a few thousand miles. The miles just seem to melt behind the shield of a nice touring scoot. Enjoy, and don't forget to shoot us some pics. Welcome to the clan!
