Great looking new ride Simon.

With Black Betty you've gone from The Galaxy to The ABYSS!

I'm not certain you can get any darker than that, but it will be fun trying.  ;D

Enjoy & ride safe!

Just saw this thread Simon.  As many things as I question about many of the new HD models and choices one of those things I don't is the look of the new Road Glides.  Meaner, more aggressive and sportier looking all at the same time.  Congrats and enjoy the new ride!

Simon,  She is really looking good.  Those are some nice improvements.  I am very sure you will really enjoy her.  Good work so far.

Very nice. Looks good all blacked out and bet she is fun to ride.  :bananarock:  What is the bike to the left of her in the last picture?

Heavily customized 2009 Road Glide, my Galaxy Glide.

Kevin, he's being modest.  He should have written it:
"Heavily customized 2009 Road Glide, my Galaxy Glide." with the emphasis on heavily... :2vrolijk_21:


By the way, Black Betty is looking good, Simon.

Congrats Simon, I would love to hear how the engine upgrade feels. I have been watching the upgrade kit from Fullsac at the 120 mark and its making good numbers as well. Or take the blower off the 09 and put on the new bike! LOL

I'll have to take your word on that. Unless he wants to show pictures of the Galaxy.

There is an entire subject thread on his purchase and build of the Galaxy Glide but upon checking, Photo Bucket was the source of his picture posting and they are holding all those photos "hostage".  There are pictures splattered in other threads but some of those were posted using Photo Bucket also.  May I say pictures do not do this bike justice but they do show all the work Simon put into it.  It is you-neek... :2vrolijk_21:

I liked the Galaxy Glide so much   :2vrolijk_21:  I saved a picture... But I'm sure there are many more.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

I have both a CVO King and a CVO Road Glide.  They each have their advantages, but for several 700 plus mile days the Road Glide is the best.

Gosh, what’s Simon up to now. It’s “PUZLIN”. Well no, not that extreme.
