    Well guys I did it, bought a spankers new Street Glide Special. Was hard work picking a color but seeing the Amber Whiskey in the sun sold it!

    Man this thing is so much better than the softail in so many areas! Just a fantastic bike to ride.

    Added some V+H Monster rounds, R.S.D clarity air filter and a tune. So far got 800km on it in under 2 weeks. Cant wait to get its first service done and clock up some k's on proper trips!

    Congrats on a fine machine. Don't run it in too soft, it will use oil, Don't be scared to give it a bit of stick.

    Thanks guys it sure is a nice machine, definitely no regrets!

    The air cleaner is fine for me (I'm 6'2") Not in the way at all, however the noise it makes 'sucks' lol.

    SteveL if I had more cash I rekon I could throw 10k at it, but for now think I'll just enjoy riding it :) So many good bits in the catalogue, bigger stereo, chrome everything, more cubes...... Where's my money tree at????

    Very nice. The dealer rang about mine and apparently it's in the country and expected to be in the shop mid next week. I didn't have a choice of color outside of jade green or charcoal pearl. I went the charcoal pearl.

    FL guy congrats you'll love it, the grey looks real good. It was so hard to choose a color, even the green looks nice in the right light but was a bit to much green for me.

    Pauly your a funny F##ker :) Really tho, its an amazing color very heavy metalflake in it. I think it needed a different color pinstripe.

    The dealer rang to say the bike was in the shop and encouraged me to look at the green just in case.  In the shade it looked pretty damn good, but as soon as it was in the sunlight I was an immediate 'err no thanks'.  I agree on the pinstripe - the wife thought it made it look like a scooter. hehe.  I'm picking up the bike on Saturday :)

    The Amber Whiskey looks great, would luv to see it in the sun. Bought a Kia Sportage Turbo Diesel last year in Techno Orange, luv the colour.

    Alas I bought a Demo 2014 Street Glide in Big Blue Pearl, also a stunning colour out in the sun, would have liked the Amber Whiskey to

    match up the car but the deal on the Big Blue Pearl was too good to pass up.
