Default Hello, need advice

Hello,

I'm writing from the beautiful, but rainy Pacific Northwest. I will be purchasing my first Harley in the next week, and I can't make up my mind. I've narrowed it down to a 07 Superglide 105 Anniversary model for a little over $15,000.00, or a Wide Glide for a little over $16,000.00. Both completely stock. I started out wanting the Fat Boy, but, just can't swing the $. Any advice, comments, good or bad would be greatly appreciated. And yes, it is my first Harley.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum. Maybe this will help, there is a section further down that deals with the different models that HD makes. Check out the section that has to do with the SG and the WG and maybe they will be able to give you some information that will help you out. Good luck

If you can't get the fatboy I would go for the WG. Just Ride.
