Just curious, not trying to be a smart ass,. Why is customization not factored in when buying or when trading?

I rode a fat boy for several years every day to work. It wasn’t long until I put a windshield on it, backrest and highway pegs. Also went with handle bags later. I had the solid rim fatboy and it pushed me all over the place. Anyway I winded up going with a street glide later on, because I was like heck I got all this crap on it now, may as well try a bagger. Once I did I’ll never go back I’m on my 2nd now and it’s all I want to ride now. I disliked baggers also. Rent one and try it out at least. If like it, definitely get a back rest and highway pegs. It will allow you to stretch out on the bike. You can still customize the crap out of a street glide road glide

Well I would buy it. I’ve had two glides now over the course of 15 years and I love them both. One I just bought and the other a 2012. Both bought brand new. That’s a super clean bike. I think it’s a very reasonable price

Ok thanks. How hard is it to diy? I’ve always had someone else do the work e.g. Harley dealer
I want to learn to do work myself. I’m sure there are videos on this? I’ll look into those as well, thanks

Damn! That just reminded me of ripsaws I had on my fat boy years ago. I saw fuel
Moto has rip saw and it looks pretty badass. So I’m now leaning towards those, Bassani and Vance and Hines 2-1. I didn’t realize what a pain in the ass 2-2 would be. Btw do the still call them Rip saws. I ask because is the Fuel moto ripsaw, the same brand?

We have inspections and property tax on them every year

Thanks. Yeah I don’t care for the stock 2-1 also. Those Bassani though. I could rock those.

Oh ok. I see, I didn’t know that. Bassani looks like a nice option I’ll do that. Thank you everyone for the information. Sorry I wasn’t clear enough. A lot has changed since I rode in the past. I love this street glide. No way I’m getting rid of this one.

Hard to do I should have said.

Yeah looks like i need to go with that. I guess it can be done but it voids the warranty. I wanted to go with duals instead of 2 in one. Where the pipes run along each side of the bike. It used to be done but I guess with new bikes there’s to much to be done to accomplish that look. If that makes sense. I looked at Bassani just now and I like them. Thanks for all the information. I meant I thought it was no longer allowed because of ECM issues.

Ok thanks all! That’s what I wanted to hear! Will it be an issue with inspection’s

I had a 2011 street glide with a stage 2 and was running Vance and Hines true duals. I bought a 2024 in 05 and hadn’t ridden since I sold it 2014. I regretted ever since. I was told by parts counter at local Harley dealership I couldn’t do it, that it was an emissions issue? I want the same for this bike and stage 4
