may/may not need bagger brace -- I would have it checked out by a competent mechanic

Default Same as you
I bought the same bike last Sept. 13000 Mi. I dont go nuts in the curves, but I have had no problem with the wiggle that everyone talks about. I would ride it and see before i spent the money on brace. Nice ride in my opinion LOVE IT.

I bought an 06 last fall and have put 6500 miles on it so far. I think it handles pretty good, but can get a little squirrely in the extreme twisties. Nothing major, it far outhandles my fatboy. I think you will like it just fine.

Slap a true-track on there and you'll be good to go!

Bought mine new and 5yrs and 40k miles later she is still running strong.

The "good" injectors are the 25mm ones (I think). The "bad" ones are 8mm. They will be labeled on the injector...

I recently picked up an '06 Street Glide with 12k on it. Just a stage 1 with PC III USB
but it doesn't mileage worth a hoot - 33 mpg. Pipes look nice inside, not black, and
seems to run fine with just a small hic-up off the bottom when it's not hot. Can someone
give me some info on the injector problem you're referring to? I'm wondering about it
now - how do I check to see which I have? Tnx in advance.

BTW - in the classifieds there's a PC III USB for sale that came off an '06 FLHX - $100
