Hello All,

Just picked up my first Street Glide Special last week at my HD dealer and figured I'd better check out a SG forum. I grew up with bikes (both Jap and American) and bought a new 2015 Heritage Softail last year. Great bike, just not the right fit for me. I rented a 2015 SGS over the July 4th holiday last year and knew I needed to make the switch. Struck a deal with Stutsman HD in Jamestown, ND (great shop, BTW) to trade the Softail for the SGS.

I had them install the following prior to pick up:
Daymaker headlight
Smoked LED signals, front and back with black brackets
4 point docking system
Hammock seat (wife loves it) with backrest
Passenger footboards
XM Satellite radio module
Windsplitter medium screen
HD highway pegs

I'm waiting on the following:
V&H FP3
Arlen Ness Big Sucker
V&H Power Duals
V&H 450 Destroyer
HD Shorty antenna
Heated HD hand grips (friend took them off a '14 limited)

And I'm shopping for a bit taller handle bars (12" maybe) but haven't made the jump yet.

Looking forward to poking around the forum and making connections.



And here was the trade-in for nostalgic sake...

Triple that welcome from Kentucky! Hide your checkbook, wallet and credit cards! Money changes quickly into chrome and go-fast parts around here!
 
Hey Bopper....Welcome from Georgia.
From the looks of your first post, I don't think you will need too much help spending money.
 
Welcome from Moorhead, MN. The guys at Stutsman HD are good. I have bought 4 bikes from there. Currently have the same bike as you. What part of ND you in?

I'm over in Bismarck. That new Fargo dealership is pretty fancy too.


Thank you all for the warm welcome. I've spent literally hours on the forum today drooling over the information.
 
Welcome from Orlando, Fl. Hope you have better luck with the shorty antenna than I did. The reception was not nearly as good as the OEM antenna. I went back to the OEM antenna, mounted it under the seat and the reception is much better than the shorty. Ride safe!

I may look at other options after reading a bit more about the issues associated with the shorty antenna. This seat mount is intriguing. Looks like I have some reading to do!

I had the XM module installed at the dealer and it worked great for the first hour or so and then really cut out. There's snow on the ground now so it will be a couple days before I get to check it out again. It may just need a signal reset.
 
Welcome from up by Grand Forks. I have to agree with you about Stutsman HD being a good dealership.

You have a very nice looking bike and I am eyeing a hammock seat for my SG, the girlfriend is complaining.
 
Hi Bopper! Welcome from Minnesota. I had a Heritage in the day. Served me well but I really love my glide. Enjoy yours!
