    Nothing at all wrong with the Super Glide Choco.
    Regarding mid mount controls, I can't help you with that one. Mine has got the stock controls.

     Hi,

    hi fatrob, very nice color, i went with the red hot sunglo FXDWG, love seeing colored bikes, will get some pics up soon

    just a question about your pipes, are they off a super glide or street bob? straight shots? would love to get the tommy gun off and put the more classic style pipes on it

    thanks

    Hi Robots,

    I got the pipes as dealer take off from a 2010 Street Bob.  I found them on US e-bay so they have none of that flappy valve crap on.  By the time they got here I was a couple of hundred out of pocket.  The dealer over there was glad to get rid of them as no-one there wants them.

    The standard explosion in a scaffold factory pipes wouldn't have worked with the mid brake pedal as the heat shield that was on it had clearance problems.  There is a different heat shield available but I wasn't a fan of the original pipes anyway.

    Cheers,

    FatRob

     Yeah mate I need to get it back here and regoed but I am getting my mechanic 

    Down here to put the kit in. He has built me engines before and have been great.

    I got the pipes and kit as part of the deal with the bike, just not fitted. A bit of a fuck around

    but the deal was worth it.

    yes mate I was looking at a 2008 CVO, nice bike but some thing just did't seem right.

    Dealer has a few calls out to see if there is any coloured bike available or if any deals look shakey.

    these things don't seem to sit in the shops at all. but they did offer a reasonable deal, guess if the can sell them before they come into the shop it's good for turn over
    They had 2 vivid blacks there both sold

    Yep they are the hottest thing on the market and most are sold

    Before they hit the shores. I was johnny on the spot and was lucky

    Enough to have one on the boat that was not earmarked for anyone.

    So only bout 3 weeks wait from ordering. I feel for you blokes that are

    Waiting for mths, it would make the decision hard. But there are honestly

    Some real good second handlers out there, done a lot of looking while waiting

    To sell me other one. Good thing is most of em have tuner, pipes, rack and shit

    Already done.anyways let us know how ya go with the dealer
