Default Thanks for the help (pulled the trigger) BANG

Well after running myself completely out of my mind,and I wont even mention how drained the better half is I finally went to HD dealer today and signed papers on this.Having a few things done to it so wont take delivery for about 2 weeks,needed a little time to clear a few things up with insurance company from when I totaled the Wide Glide. Better pics to come but you all have seen them before just another 2012 Black Street Glide but this one is mine.Having Vance and Hines headers installed Cobra Mufflers SE stage 1 high flow intake and S.E.R.T I'm not done but its a start.Thanks for all the help and comments in the last couple of weeks I kinda new what I wanted, but positive reinforcement sure does help a great deal.

Great move! You won't regret it. I followed your WG crash post on the Dyna forum. By the looks of the bike, you were lucky to come out of that OK.

I sold my Dyna and picked up the EG Ultra Limited seen in my sig a few weeks ago. Turns out the touring bikes handle great, which I'm sure you've discovered by now. Much more comfortable too.

Ride safe!

Sweet! I see you picked the fastest color too. Nothing better than black & chrome.....Until you have to clean it. As "Nicky Pass" once stated, "Black isn't a color, it's a commitment"! Good luck with that. BTW, Congrats sweet ride!

I'm going to really miss my Wide Glide I loved that bike it was just such little hot rod.I hope I can get this to run as good I think I can.My better half is starting to take more intrest in riding this will make things much easier on her and you have no idea how much easier on me still a little sore after wrecking the Wide Glide.

You will miss the Wide Glide for a few months, then it will become just a fond memory!.....Your off to a good start with the work your having done, add a set of nice cams and a dyno tune, and you will be surprised how that big bike will run!....As for the better half, she will be much more comfortable on the Street Glide, don't ask me how I know this!!...LOL

Congrats!! Black Street Glides are by far the best bikes ever made (OK, so I might be a teeny bit biased )
