Trading up for an Electra Glide Standard
Hey all, new member here. I currently have an '09 Fatbob that I am thinking of trading in for an Electra Glide. Any thoughts on this? Anyone already done it and regret it/wish they had done it sooner? Can anyone tell me pro's/con's of the Electra Glides? (I am female, 5'6" for reference on the size of the bike) Thanks for any comments or suggestions, I am pretty undecided over this...!

You didn't say what year EG, but I assume a 09 or later. One of the issues you will have to deal with is the height. The 09's and later touring models for some reason feel like they sit higher than previous year touring models. The EG's come with the 13" rear shocks and a larger seat. I am 5'-7" and I added the FBI Drop seat kit to my 09 FLHX. A big expense, but I love the bike (I've owned a fatboy and 4 baggers).

Yes, it's an '09 like my FB. You guys have been a great help! I will let you know what I decide to do. I have a trailer already rented (from here on base...not expensive thankfully) to take the FB to Arizona which is where I found the EG and if I do this, I leave tomorrow afternoon! I figured if anything, it will be a good road trip and one more excuse to go to another Harley dealership!
