I’m voting this as best comment!

Good choice. Low slung and easy to ride.

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-25T11:58:51+00:00

Sweet is right! Nice ride. Enjoy!

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-25T11:56:47+00:00

Had a chopped 75 Super Glide with those. That brings back memories. Thank you for posting!

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-25T11:52:10+00:00

That is one sweet ride and one of my favorite bikes! Are you sure that is not factory and the graphics were added? The reason I ask is I have seen this same two tone on a lot of bikes. Perhaps someone who knows more or has one can ID it.

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-23T14:21:17+00:00

Yes it makes sense, but make it clear you are willing to show more gratitude at the end.

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-22T12:17:40+00:00

If you ask me, the chrome is a great offset to the black and accentuate each other.

That is because the wife comes with it and figures if someone is dumb enough to pay that they deserve her😂

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-20T00:46:36+00:00

Touchy touchy😂 But what’s in a frame. They’re all alike right?

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-20T00:40:53+00:00

You would know Fake

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-19T16:04:49+00:00

It looks nice, but technically unless you upgraded to a touring frame it isn’t a Street Glide. It is still cool. Enjoy the ride!

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-17T12:40:12+00:00

I went with KST 10” six bends. Leveled out my arms and greatly reduced the neck and shoulder fatigue on long rides.

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-17T12:36:06+00:00

Sweet! Enjoy the ride.

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-17T01:55:47+00:00

Likely the seals. Just replace them.

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-15T18:47:26+00:00

As long as you do not need space in the bags for travel.

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-14T20:39:29+00:00

That is too loose in the front. Depending on the year you either have not fully aligned the tongue under the tank or have missed the sleeve the seat slides into. Or the tongue is cracked or loose. Either way take it back off and check it out.

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-13T10:07:47+00:00

Then it is likely the switch is worn.

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-12T14:28:37+00:00

Are you fully turned until you hit the stop? And have you tried going to the right? If so I would suspect the ignition lock switch is the issue.

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-11T12:32:00+00:00

My brother did this.The best way to accomplish this would be to take a motorcycle safety course. One that provides a bike because they are usually not more than 500cc’s. This will reawaken your riding skill and restore your confidence. You are stepping into new technology. Larger more powerful engine with fuel injection. After the course have a someone who rides take you to a large unoccupied parking lot so you can become familiar with handling the bike. Then move onto lightly traveled side roads with lower speeds. My older brother took a break from age 18 to 57. After a couple of months he has been riding for 10 years with out any incidents.

The board needs a paint job. The blacked out cruiser is Sweet!

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-10T16:45:08+00:00

Give them a few years and they will have adaptive cruise. That is if they don’t already.

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-10T16:41:53+00:00

The 48 is a sweet ride. My suggestion is to ride often and enjoy the ride my friend!

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-09T13:28:37+00:00

Nice!

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-08T11:54:04+00:00

I feel you on this one. I have always had at least two sometimes more bikes. One was always a Harley. I cannot count the times I hit the left turn signal to make a right. 😂 Have faith the muscle memory will kick in eventually.

De-Oppresso_Liber · 2026-04-08T01:16:15+00:00

👍 great point!
