2010 Wide Glide Owners - Let's keep track of our mods....
I see there are a few of us with the new Wide Glides and I thought it would be cool to have a thread to keep track of what we are doing to our new bikes.
So to start out, what mods do you have in mind? I am wanting a louder exhaust for starters. I just wanna be heard by these zombies at the intersections. With the stock pipes they don't even look up.
I like being able to hear the bike at high speeds too... helps me out a lot.
The second thing I am going for is a better seat that is more comfortable, possible back rest, and a better setup for my wife on the back. I have looked at so many things that my head is still spinning. I am waiting to see what everyone else is doing so I can get an idea of what I want.
I have plenty of other "wants" but I am pretty happy with the bike the way it is for now. I want to get past the break in and then explore some other options.
So what are you planning to do?

Saw a bike on a trailer at the dealership today and was thinking, damn, I like the way that guy has modded that Dyna. Turned out it was a new WG being dealer traded.
That is just one sharp bike. Bobbed rear fender,no tail lite,side mount plate like a Nightster,black rims,mirrors,risers. Not really crazy about the pipes but that's just one hell of a nice bike.
Good Luck

Well I just spent 20 minutes trying to get the front reflectors off. Thought I had some goo gone but there was literally 1 drop left in the container and that didn't go far. Attempted to use wd-40 along with a piece of string. NOT easy.The wd-40 might have actually made it more difficult.
Got the front ones off for now. Might mess with the rear tomorrow.

I'm seriously considering the new WG. Can I get some more pics of your bike, preferably of the rear fender section? I have yet to see one at a local dealer, and I trust amateur owner photos to really show the bike over the fancy professional photos on the HD site.

Use a hair dryer and dental floss. They'll slide off almost like butter.
THEN use goo gone or similar on the leftover residue.
