New 09 Glide

I just got my 09 Electra Glide Classic two weeks ago. Lots of changes frame,gearing,throttle,exhaust and more. The first thing I did was put a set of Rienharts on her. The gearing is the most noticeable change aside from sitting higher than my 07. I can now cruse in sixth gear at 50mph and roll out with plenty of power no lugging anymore. Seat height is about 2 inches taller due to new frame I think I need to put a lower kit oh her. The new tires and frame feel smoother and she handles the corners better than my 07 did. If you are considering trading or buying an 09 I would recommend it as opposed to buying a close out 08. If you have any questions about an 09 that I can help with let me know and I will do my best to answer. Only simple ones I am just a rider not a mechanic.
