New 06 Wide Glide Owner
I am in the USAF stationed in Korea and was due to rotate back to the US next year. I had ordered a Road King Classic through HD's military sales program and was scheduled to pick it up next Spring. I just decided to extended my time here through 2008 and canceled the Road King order and bought one of the few big bikes HD sells over here. They sell lots of Sportsters and they only get a few bike bikes in every year. They just received a shipment of a few Deuces, Soft Tail Standards, other Dyna series and one Wide Glide. The bikes are scattered throughout the different bases over here and I purchased it sight unseen. I will pick it up in a week at the HD dealership in Seoul. I read a lot of reviews of various bikes and decided to go with the WG.
For those of you that have experience on Wide Glides I would appreciate any advice (modifications, quirks, web sites, etc). Most of my riding will be done on base but I will take weekend trips on the back roads (35-60 MPH).
Thanks in advance for your advise and assistance.

Howdy from Dallas. Not a WG owner, but own a Dyna. Lots of mods you can do. Pretty much sky's the limit. These are lighter bikes than Softy's, and shake at the low rpms, but ride smooth once going. I think you'll like it.
