Default Street Glide FLHX.... holy crap it's fun to ride! *now with pics!!*

I recently posted about a friend switching so I could see what it's like to ride a bagger... here are the pics.

The blue Street Glide is the bike. Mine is the black Superglide Sport!






Not the best photos, but I thought it would be fun to include some

yeah, the mirrors are under your arms... VERY weird at first but only takes a couple seconds to get used to. Your mitts are just barely above that fairing and I kind of like having a break from the wind pressure against my chest.

It's a 2006 FLHX with the 88ci and 5 speed stock trans.

I'll talk to the owner and see if he knows what exact bars are on it. I'll take more photos today when I see the bike and post pics of the bars specifically.

The bike shown is how he bought it.

At first glance they look like Cycle Smiths,, But they don't seem to have enough pullback.. But then again,It might Be the angle of the pic...

I don't know. I still love my Dyna. I'd like to get one or two more bikes, since I have enough room for them. I should just sell my Camaro and stick with bikes! Better gas mileage!

Oh I have to agree, I posted a while back about renting a SG out in Tucson, AZ for a Saturday. Rode it through the Seguaro national park, up Mt. Lemon and back, and around a few other sights. It was absolutely awesome.
SG will be my next bike, I like the Black Cherry color the best I think.
