Street Glide Only Forums
After you have your Street Glide for about 3 weeks you will want to add a better seat (to make the ol' lady happy), a tour pac to haul her stuff, driving lights to see/be seen better and better shocks so it rides better so you might as well stay here because you will then have changed your SG into a EG classic!
Agreed 100%!!!

I'm new to the site as well, but agree that this is the best place to get info. I've already completely disassembled the front end for a few mods and got most of my info here. Appreciate all you guys. Ride safe.

awesome. thanks for the welcomes guys. Im new to the HD forums. I didnt realize how many people were on here and how active it was. I must not have my setting right. i need to get email notes of replys. sorry im late. Wasnt trying to be an elitist... (not sure what that is) just trying to find a good forum for my new SG. Looks like i found it! Ill get used to this forum and search out the goodies.
My glide has the aftermarket seat on it already, it came with it. Much more comfy than the stock, its a brick in the **** for the passenger. lol. my kids and wife like the bigger back seat and its like 4" thick. mine is 2" lower than stock i think. im 5'10" and it fits me pretty good and still has plenty of padding.
MY First real Mod is going to be a backrest. I had no idea what was involved getting a backrest on one of these damn things. Since mine is 2010 i gotta find 09' or newer parts. I want to get a tour pack, at some point, hopefully that is 3" adjustable forward and back. I need the 4 point docking kit for an 09' or newer. 150$ seems to be the retail price. i gotta find em cheaper. Gotta pay sales tax b4 any of that though lol.
Thanks again for the welcome. Ill be around here a while.
btw mine is a 2010 Scarlet Red SG with 6100 miles (when i bought it from a buddy) . Only mods are the tour seat and they lowered the front end 1/2".
