Love mine! I've put 7,000 miles on it since bringing it home in March.

On 2 wheels for 30 yrs.. Sport Glide is my 3rd Harley with the Cross-Bones always having a special place in my heart.. However, the Sport Glide has been the most rewarding on long road trips with my fiance.. Not to heavy and easy to handle as I'm only a buck sixty at 5'7". I just installed the Klock Werks windshield and loving it. I no longer have to wear ear protection the entire time and can enjoy listening to the rumble.

Bike also has:
- Heated Grips
- Carlini 12" apes
- Joker Machine boards
- S&S Stage 2 cams with stage 1 goodies

In case anyone doesn't know:

If you do decide to swap out bars then you can install a left side OEM rocker switch which has a function for the driving lights (like the Heritage). The Sport Glide OEM wiring harness under the tank has the wire already there which is used to control a set of aux/driving lights. One would just need to buy the lights of choice. I'm, currently, trying to make a mounting bracket that will hold the light between the forks and make up a custom plug setup to the OEM harness so everything is "plug n play" ( I prefer not to splice/tap). No pics yet.. But possibly after winter..

Enjoying mine. Just under 6K miles and the only issue I had so far was a short in the front brake switch that kept the brake lights on and disabled the Cruise Control. I changed the fairing to a Memphis Shade.

If the Fat Bob had a tank like that in the first place, I'd have probably bought one instead of the Sport Glide.

Was that a plug and play install? If the FB came with a 5 gallon tank, I'd have one in my garage already.

yep, everything just bolts up, but there is a gap between the end of seat and tank, had to have the seat worked on

Have some pics? Sport Glide is on my radar and apes are a must. Don't see too many set up that way.
