I've been toying around the idea of trading my 2005 H-D VRod in and stepping up to a Street Glide. A few weeks back my other half and myself were up at Fox River H-D getting a few maintenance items for the VRod. We both got to talking with a salesman. Her on a bike for herself and me a Street Glide they had.
Come the following Monday she purchased a new, to her bike, and I inquired about the Street Glide. I jumped too late and it was sold. I told him to keep me in mind if another great deal comes through.
Fast forward two weeks. I drop my VRod off [MENTION=11738]Sixth Gear Performance[/MENTION] to get my wheels powder coated black. Three days later our salesman shoots me a message just saying you need to come look at this bike. I walk in the next day to look at this very clean 2008 H-D Street Glide. Two hours later I sign papers for it. Prior I had my VRod appraised for trade when the first Street Glide was for sale.
Now two weeks later I finally take delivery. They had to do a new security system on it.
I've put on only, about, 100 miles so far but love it. Fucking shit ass rain weather. What a difference from the VRod to this.
The original owner has a good amount of chrome on it. I will be switching most of it over to black parts, 10-12" Yaffe Bars and nlack true duel exhaust this summer along with new wheels over the winter. Also I'll be doing a 103 kit for it, maybe slightly bigger. I'll decide when that time come this winter as well.
Sorry for the shit photos. I want to get out and take some decent ones soon.
