this morning I traded my 2000 Heritage Softail Classic for a 2009 Street Glide FLHX I rode around for a couple hours to get used to the bike and so far I'm loving it. I can actually go far away and be comfortable. the Heritage was a great ride for me but I wanted something with a radio, bigger tank and a fairing. the bike has ABS/Security Rhinehart pipes, Screaming Eagle intake, removable passenger backrest(I wanna get a removable rack, what's a good one?) not sure about the tuner yet. it also has a couple chrome pieces here and there. I got a good deal on it so I went for it....... I'll post a pic tomorrow or the next day, color is red(forgot which red) I can't believe how fast this thing is compared to the heritage, I didn't even use 6th gear yet(I will for sure)
You'll be very happy with that bike over the Softail.....Real Shocks and suspension!
What a concept...
Any swing arm bike handles and rides way better than any Softail bike....Softails handle like a truck!

I promised the woman and myself I would hold off on the extras for a while, but of course as soon as I got home I was all in the harley website looking for stuff. and of course this place is no friggin help. all i really need right now is a rack for an extra carry bag, I already have the passenger backrest and obviously the
the docking point............. but I know me, by the end of next week I will have spent a grand on this thing and still not happy............ we'll see, but I know I'm living a lie...

So what's the "Must Have's" for this bike? I'm already thinking removable rack, upgraded amp and speakers, gps(this bike is set up for it with the module on the fairing) maybe a tuner(if it doesn't have one already) I have a Lenale cooling fan from the other bike but I have an oil cooler on this bike so I dunno if I need it, we'll see.............. what's the recommendation's...........

It takes a while to get your ride dialed in to where and how you want it to be.
