Click on the above to see the shiny and take note that the bike will have the pipes pictured on the 1st photo.

Thanks.

I like the vivid black. Since this appears to be a one passenger bike, does that mean that the wife gets a sportster also ?

Yeah I was waiting for you to show up and post a little something something.

This bike does have a solo seat but I am getting it with a two up that I can change quick to throw on the sissy bar and bring the wifey along... She doesn't want a motorcycle or I would get her a girls bike to start with, like maybee a beemer. J/K Acca.

Ummm....sorry about that man. Hit the wrong button. But really cool bike. A buddy of mine's nephew has one and he raves about it. Last year we all rode out to the Oregon coast and not one complaint.

Give me a holler when up around this area, i'll meet you anywhere. Jim

Sounds good, I would like to plan something in early to mid june for a nice long ride or rode trip.


I am leaning towards the vivid black, not to sure that I won't get sick of the denim matte black.

Hi, New guy here. I got a new superglide last year and put about 5000mi on it. Never had problem. Got vivid black, put the skull chrome stuff on it and some bags. My friend has the vance and hines pipes on his softtail classic. he loves them. we had to trade bikes just so he could hear them from differant angles :haha:

Hey larblah, welcome to the bogleyhood. Be sure to formally introduce yourself in the 'newbies" section. Cool to see some new fella's with bikes on here.

I have had my BMW R1150GS for about 20 months and have put 25,000 miles on the clock. :five:

So are you ready to go riding together???

I'm always ready for a ride. :cool2:
live2ride I was thinking and one thing I'd like to change is my seat. Maybe get a mustang seat or something. Anyway, something to think about before you put out money the two up seat. Also remember to get your assesories when you buy the bike so they are covered on the warranty. At least the expensive stuff if possable. Willie and Max make some nice, removable bags for a good price.

Awesome, any links, pics etc for the bags would be great. I am getting my list of accessories written down right now. A seat is going to be on the list, saddlebags, kuryakan mini bullets, Kuryakan rear laydown tail light, laydown license plate etc. I also need a new helmet.. any suggestions.

http://buywillieandmax.com/ for the bags. I got the kit that lets you take them off real easy too and it works great. Go to Wrights on State and check out their helmets. Take your time on the helmet. Try them all :haha:
