Shoot, I guess I need to sell the lowers I have at the house for the Road Glide.

Maybe I should have bought a Road Glide Ultra, gotten it repainted black denim, lowered it, changed out the turn signals and brake light, rear fender facia swap, changed the seat, etc. Probably would have cost way less than buying lowers and maybe a tour pack later on.........

I have a street glide because I don't like.the look of all the baggage that's on an ultra. I do like the look of the lowers though. And I strap on my tour bad when I need it. But really. Who cares why I do it?

On my '05 EGC, it didn't come with lowers, but I put the docking kit on it so I could take the Tour Pak off and bought a stubby windshield.

About 6 months after I did that, Harley came out with the Street Glide. I like to think that I gave them the idea for it. :0)

For myself.. I like how the Ultra looks with everything, Hence why I bought an Ultra because it comes with EVERYTHING. I don't plan on taking anything off of it. Just thought I would start this tread..
LMAO!!!Bet ya think a lil harder before ya start another one!
