Hi everybody,
Tuesday I picked up my new 2015 Street Glide Special, in Vivid Black of course. I contemplated other colors like silver and denim black which are nice but as they say, black is beautiful and for me it looks best. The FLHXS is quite an upgrade for me. I traded in my 2008 FLHT that had no ABS or Bluetooth which were both big selling points for me. I debated the FLHX but after I added Security and ABS in addition to the benefits of the upgraded stereo, the FLHXS just made sense. After all the research I did on the bike itself, the various options for parts, I'm glad it's all done. I have no idea how many hours and hours I spent looking at different forums, online reviews, YouTube, etc trying to make sure I got something I'd be happy with long term. Only time will tell. I picked it up and my Dad and I went for a 160Km (100 mile) ride. He's got a 2014 FLHTCU which I had taken for a short ride and was impressed with the smooth power and agility. My Street Glide is no different. I just can't wait for the break in period to be done so I can better test it out, but I know it won't disappoint based on what I've seen so far.
I'm in the process of doing a few upgrades but work has been crazy and some of the parts aren't in yet so I'll get it finished as soon as I can. I've added the Vance and Hines Dresser Duals with Twin Slash Ovals, Stage 1 AC, Saddle Bag bars, Willie G fuel door and shifter pegs (from my FLHT) and fuel door lock. I've still got to do my FP3, Sissy bar and pad, 4 point detachable mounting kit, "103" Derby cover, Hammock seat and Tech Gripper. It's going to the dealer on Tuesday for the heated grips install. My Biketronics 7.1 speakers and Amp won't be in for a few weeks. I've included a few pics so far but I'll do more when it's done.
