i'm with ionate - the super glide custom should have this as at least an option as well. actually, they probably all should. at least the lowrider comes with highway pegs and the wide glide comes with forwards standard.
anyway, congrats on the new bike. i don't know how you can wait 5 months for a bike but i guess it's just as well if you live where you couldn't ride it anyway. it would drive me nuts though. i'd have to get it asap and start tinkering with upgrades and just be able to look at it now and then.

Thanks guys. This'll give me some time to save more down-payment scratch too. I hope that maybe I'll only have to finance about 1/2 of it, and I hate payment books enough that I'll probably pay it off in a year I'm guessing.
I really like the bars, not stretcing for them at all like I was worried about. The forwards are a bit of a reach, but I did still have some bend in my knee, not much though. Wife will want a different seat, she looked through my Harley toy book and thought maybe the sundowner. And I'll get a backrest on it too, the kind that goes under the seat like the V Rod backrest.
Freind of mine is the service manager at this dealer, he thought they make black rockerboxes and said he'd help me get those replaced if I want to black the bike out a bit more. For right now the plan will be concentrating on paying it off, and some relatively cheap mods to get rid of just some of the chrome, not like a nightster or night train, but some of that chrome has to go!

Thanks fpr noticing. Yeah I woke up hungry about 7am and had some cereal, left the puter on, but should have shown offline I would think? Back to bed by 8 and didn't wake up til 12pm. Gonna get some lunch, and decide whether to call the boss again or not when my wife gets home. She'll be pissed if I miss work again.
