Take some of the fatgirl money and customize the glide. If you add some custom wheels, and do a motor kit, say at least a strong 103 or 113 from a good aftermarket shop you will soon forget about the fatgirl. I missed my fatboy, but now i have it all in my glide, power, looks, radio, bags, and comfort, i call it my cadilac. It is a blast when you leave the light wth those softails and when they catch you sitting at the next light and ask what do you have in that thing since you just smoked them on a bagger.

 

I sold my first HD(Softail Std)back in 2004 to Buy my Road King.At the time I had to sell it to aford the RK. I had over $25,000 invested in my Softail and I didn't get anywhere near $20,000 for it if I did I'd feel pretty dam good about it today.

Here's a picture of mine

 

Sorry, friend, but if you have to ask, you already know the answer.

 

I appreciate all the feedback and comments...

 

You got a Street Glide what more could you ask for?

 

hmmmmm....20K huh?...That's a lot of goodies for what some (including myself) would argue is already the best bike you can buy...I feel your pain, though. Good luck with the glide...I absolutely love mine and am just pissed it is 26 degrees out today as I have a saturday off...lol see ya, scott

 

Your Fat Girlwas a Softail..... Been there / Done that / Never going back again

Except for the fact that your bike was a 100th anniversary edition (best anniversary color of them all,and the 100th's a true anniversary) no big deal.

Your Fat Girl was a great looking bike (so was my softail) but softails are more about looks than performance,the Touring bikes ride & handle better andlookcool whenset up right.

 

Tough question and all good answers - as you see from the range of answers, the answer for every bro is somewhat different. It depends on you. For example, for me, to this day I still wish I had my '02 tricked out Night Train, which I sold to payoff and get a cruiser (police E-glide). I don't regret it, I just wish I still had the badboy bar hopper.

So - I decided to build a custom from ground up, and now have the best bad *** bar hopper (old school rigid shovelhead bobber). So you see, it all depends on the guy and what we do with our decisions! I say ebrace it and move on the the "next" step, whatever that is for you. Cheers.

 

....and if you hadneeded to sell her, you would have had to beg to get 15k. As a good friend used to tell me, the best time to sell is when someone is in front of you, cash in hand, ready to buy.

 

it is better to have love and lost to then to not have loved at all.

You'll like the street glide....There are more fish in the sea

Wait we are talking about a Harley right.........
