We've seen a lot of great pictures of Terry's west coast SG so here is a few of Sandra's:
The Harley reach pullback handlebars worked without buying ANYTHING but the bars. :2vrolijk_21:
-
Another. I still hate the stock wheels.
-
She got it Jan 2nd.. I have been doing the mod's since then. Glad we got $2,000 off as that money is LONG gone.
-
CVO was feeling left out. Last one.
-
Looking good! I see you went with the standard inner fairing and added HB mirrors. We are getting a collection of our FLHX women riders here and the bikes are all looking good
I see you're both pretty attached to those fork reflectors :)
-
Hey Boat!
Tell Sandra thats one fine looking street glide, the right color and all too bad you both don't live out west here Sandra could join the west coast Wild Hogletts :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

Many thanks for the thumbs up. She rode about 75 miles today (1st time since the upgrades) and the 1st time since she rode it home in 40 degree weather. The more she rides it, the better she will like it. She put over 10,000 miles on the Fatboy and once it is sold, I'm sure she will like the SG even better.
Wind deflectors-Yeah, I like them-hope she does too.
Chrome wheels-Already over budget. They didn't have one with laced in stock or would have done a swap like JC..
Probably never be that clean again.
-
Great looking bikes, both of them.
-
That's very nice Bob.......I was curious this whole time you've PM'd me. Interesting how we ended up with a lot of the same things on their bikes. A month or two longer and she'll be in love with that bike and the other one will be a faded memory! :2vrolijk_21:

Bob
Two great looking bikes!
Only problem I see is they are in your driveway!
Spring is here.
Come see us!
We will make room!

The color is the chit . I love it , so nice

I need to thank JC and Terry as a lot of their efforts and pictures made it easier to make some of the changes we made. If it were for my wife, it would still be stock and she would be struggling with the bars and stock seat. If a bike doesn't fit you, they are no fun to ride. Probably do mufflers, PC, and air filter once it gets broken in. Will watch for takeoff wheels or the like.
Chip-Thanks for the invite and Nancy and you may see us at your door someday. Just turned 36,000 miles on mine today.

An FYI, I got a set of wheels from a former member that came off a 07 Road Glide.
They were the stock silver spoke wheels, I got them fairly cheap (200 I think).
A friend of mine bought a new Street Glide and I disliked his stock wheels so much I gave him those R/G wheels.
They look great, certainly much better than stock.
So just remember you have options,,,and some may not be very expensive.
And Bob,,,,, all we need is a little notice.

Boatman, I am thinking of the street glide for my wife,great bike. My wife is 5'4 so she needs bars and a seat for sure. She loves the Mustang seat on her Lowrider. Was wondering if you know if taht seat lowers her I see you have the Corbin I think. Thanks for the help Billy

Very nice Bob! Congratulations to you and Sandra on fine rides. :2vrolijk_21:

Hi Billy,
I'm a woman riding a Street Glide, 07. I'm 5'4" with a 29" inseam. I also have a corbin close solo and I love it! It definitely lowers me and brings me closer to the handlebars. I did have it shaved pretty close on the sides where my thighs hit and that helped alot. I have about 23,000 miles on that seat.
I also recently sat on a 09 SG at a dealer that had progressive shocks (11 and a half inch)...418's that really made a difference. That bike also had a badlander seat by Harley on it. I could easily flat foot that bike.

Beautiful bikes! I'm jealous.
-
Beautiful SG Boatman! I'll bet Sandra is loving it! I've seen Terrie's in person and love the color...gorgeous in the sun!!
-
Billy-
Sandra is 5'7" with 32" in seam. As SGChick has, it is a Corbin close solo with the nose shaved even more than stock. You can SGChick is flat footed. The bars are the Harley Pullback reach bars. The seat, windshield, and bars make all the difference in the world.
Chip-
Agreed the stock wheels are ugly, even believe they would be ugly chrome (sorry d00d).. I think chrome wheels would really set the bike off-as it is now, it still needs something. A fellow Buckeye has wheels/tires off his 2009 SEUC for sale, but don't want to spend that much right now.

I can't argue that when it comes to the stock wheels. :no: But there are a lot of options out there though. :2vrolijk_21:

If you notice on Melanie's (sgchick) bike, she has the Road Glide rims that we had chromed, just an option. The bars now are stock chrome SEUC bars, internally wired. Also, we added the Arnott alden air ride shocks. The bars and air ride were added after the last posted pic. Here is a new pic with the additions and the link to newest additions.(it never ends) http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=34485.0
Also, here's a link to a member selling some take offs... http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=34947.0

That goes two ways Bob........thanks for the tip on the handlebars! :2vrolijk_21:
I know what you mean......if it were up to Terrie, her bike would still be stock....stock.....stock. But you and I know the value of a bike that's set up for comfort for the rider. If they're comfortable they'll want to ride more often and will want to ride further. Terrie shared with me today "I can't wait to ride out of this state.........someplace different".
If you want to go with a set of Python slip with very low miles on them......let me know. I'd like to change hers to the Bub 7 slip ons.

One more pic for the heck of it :D

Looking Good there Bobby Boy :2vrolijk_21:
Give any thought to my PM?
-
Boatman..........just a head's up. I think the wheels have to be off of (or made for) 09 since they're different size than previous years. Also, there's something different (I don't remember what it is) on the wheels if her bike has ABS.
I just remember when I was talking to them about trading with the Ultra Classic wheels..........they were telling me "we can do that if we have an 09 Ultra Classic with ABS........ABS and non-ABS aren't interchangeable".

The wheels definitely have to be for an 09 and as you stated, for ABS also. Thanks.
-
The 09 bagger wheels are interchangable. The wheel bearings are the difference for ABS models. Bearings can be easily swapped around (with the right tools)

Here is a picture of the newly installed FLHX front wheel, polished rotors, lowers, and upper cans. The stock wheel isn't that bad looking in chrome.

Rear. Could have left the stock one on the back but didn't want to hear the grief from you guys/gals. :cherry:

Bike finally looks like something. Who said there isn't a FLHX CVO?

thanks for the help. My wife is going to try one one of these days. She thinks the tank is to wide for her / We are going to try some different seats. Thanks Bill

They look very nice.....especially compared to the stock black. I just wouldn't have thought chrome plating them would make that much difference on those wheels. She should be very happy........that bike is very nice!
-
Thanks for the compliments. Besides looking better, the wheels will be a lot easier to clean (chrome).
-
Looking good Bob! Hard to hide money! ;D

That is one sweet ride.....your stimulas check must have been larger than mine !
