Well I went ahead and traded my 2005 Heritage for a 2013 Street Glide. I love this new bike!! Drives like a dream and handles twisties better than I could have ever imagined. I got it Wednesday afternoon and already have 250 miles on it. I am also impressed with the stock 103 power, its a lot more than I thought it would be. Looking forward to always having tunes and the hard bags and fairing make trips a little easier.. Now time for exhaust and all that making a bike "yours" entails $$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

In case you care.....its VIVID BLACK, so no need to post pictures.....its looks just like everyone elses!!!

The reason the 103 seems so powerful is because of the color, everyone knows black bikes are the fastest!
