Default Newbie from So. Cal.

Hello-
&nbsp\\;
I am in southern California and currently ride a 2004 Heritage Softail. I am considering selling the Heritage and getting an 09 Street Glide. A friend of mine directed me over here for research purposes, as I'm fairly short (5' 3"). I have always loved the looks of the SG and now that there will be a paint scheme of purple and gray, well...I just cannot resist it!

Welcome, Purple Harley!
If you have not seen the new SG, just wait.
It is even better looking with the new exhaust and larger tires and fenders.
It may be too good looking for you to resist.
Sit on one at the dealership or Bike Night and see if you fit.
Good Luck!
