I picked up an '08 Super Glide two weeks ago, found this forum the same day. I bought it from the original owner, he added the Doherty air cleaner, Vance and Hines Short Shots, Harley dyno’d race tuner, Harley Badlander seat, and black progressive lowered rear shocks. All upgrades were done at the local HD dealer, who was nice enough to print off the history of all work done on it there.
I'm having a blast with this bike!
