Franken Glide
Franken Glide
I decided since I do the vast majority of my riding locally, and my wife is unable to ride with me because of a bad back, it would be much easier to handle a Street Glide around town than an Electra Glide Classic. And then I compared the two models and decided it would be easy to change my Electra to a Street Glide, which I did. I had 12" Street Glide shocks installed which lowered the bike 1", removed the Tour Pak and replaced it with a HD luggage type, and found a used Street Glide seat. For a total expenditure of $665 I now have a Franken Glide.

And I can change back in about 30 minutes time. Its like having two bikes in one.

Yeah, that's cool. I see it changes the color of your car too.
I have the quick release tour pack for my RG and can change out the windshield pretty quick. Soft lowers for the real cold rides in Jan-Feb. No floor boards, just pegs.

The pics were taken a year apart, got the Muscle Car bug again and traded the 2009 Caddy for 2012 Dodge Challenger, Hemi with 6 speed stick. I am in my third or fourth childhood I guess.

If I had your money I would burn mine. Bike looks good but I NEED chrome fork lowers on my bikes.
Thanks, that's why I call it a Franken Glide. I sit lower due to the seat and shocks and the Tour Pak weighed about 40 pounds, much easier to handle at slow speeds now and to lift off side stand.
