Starting a thread looking for insights from experienced SG owners. All our rides are our own, but valuing experienced owner's insights is a valuable resource, I'm glad I've found this group. I've had Honda motorcycles in my youth and it's been almost 2 decades since I twisted a throttle, finally pulled the trigger on my dream bike. I always thought some day I'll have a Harley, many springs have I daydreamed about that. Finally, the wait is over, one refresher class and I pick it up, 2026 FLHX Liberty Edition.
My plan:
New seat: Saddleman ?
New Windshield: Freedom Shields 14"
Ride 1,000 mike break-in period
Exhaust: Jekill and Hyde System
Stage 1 Screaming Eagle Upgrade more so for increased air flow rather needing anything more for power.
Handlebars: 12s? 14s? It is the one thing that almost made me not purchase the SG. I do not like the stock height.
Lighting: Ciro vs Custom Dynamics?
Engine guard: I like the mustache style and thinking extra lighting to see the ditch lines better for deer and other critters.
Just my initial thoughts, I have a goal of 10k miles in the first year. For someone that hasn't been on a bike in awhile it might be aggressive, but a trip to the East Coast might be a third if that.
Photos to come when I pick it up.
