Joker & your Street Glide

sk8rod · 09-30-2009, 01:45 PM

well i was hoping you could write up here some feedback on the Street Glide and its pros/cons over other geeza glides..

i understand you have covered a few miles on all sorts of bag attached HDs are would very much like to read a long and detailed report on your findings

joker · 09-30-2009, 03:05 PM

i like it

harleybodei · 09-30-2009, 03:13 PM

Bwahahahaha.......

sk8rod · 09-30-2009, 03:17 PM

just tryin to move us to a new level

joker · 09-30-2009, 03:28 PM

you should either be 1) collatin n chit, or 2) sleepin so you can collate tomorrow.

to be honest, i prefer the fltr over the flhx, just for aesthetics sake. these big bikes actually handle very well, even at slow speeds.
i'm all about grinding and maximum lean when i ride. and while the glides don't have the balls of, say, a nazi street bob, i maintain if i wanted the fastest bike it wouldn't be a harley.
i spent years in the 'cruiser' category, and i doubt i'll ever go back - unless its to add another bike.

Hey Joker, what would be your 2nd bike of choice?

sk8rod · 09-30-2009, 03:36 PM

So any plans other than adding miles to do to the glide ?

I'm sleepin by the way

i gotta finish the primary cover - otherwise nope.

sk8rod · 09-30-2009, 11:43 PM

Oh, ok,, inner, outer? Powder coating?

What tires do you run on that bag boy?

Hey how dya find the brakes? Always been something that's never worked right on the bob. Gonna ditch them asap

if ya got stock suspension on the scooter, dya find the thing getting into a weave on say a fast downhill sweeper ?

joker · 10-01-2009, 06:16 AM

outer cover, gonna pc - black of course.
i'm running factory size metzlers.
no issues with the brakes whatsoever.
no issues with suspension, front or rear. though i did run progressive f/r on my fltr and it make a huge difference, but that was a 99 too.

sk8rod · 10-01-2009, 06:18 AM

ok,, thankyou for you time

joker · 10-01-2009, 06:19 AM

get collatin bitch

sk8rod · 10-01-2009, 06:25 AM

so tell me,, how often do you change the oil and the trans etc,, how long do the brake pads last for you and what brand do you favor?

do you think the fuel consumption is negated by the extra weight of the glide as opposed to benefited from the increased aerodynamic efficiency coefficient ?

why did you plump for a blue one? is it your favorite color or do you just like blueberry muffins?

what speed were you doing the last time you ground out your boards?

do you think black is a sensible color for all standard seats to be made?

i need some grips like yours

i think you should tell us about your screen mod

have you ever had an issue with the final drive?

when you last took a right turn, were you debating a left turn at the same time

how many corners do you think of in advance on a road you are familiar with

so tell me,, how often do you change the oil and the trans etc,, how long do the brake pads last for you and what brand do you favor? you're supposed to change that stuff?

do you think the fuel consumption is negated by the extra weight of the glide as opposed to benefited from the increased aerodynamic efficiency coefficient ? eh, huh?

why did you plump for a blue one? is it your favorite color or do you just like blueberry muffins? i was looking for another roadglide, and came upon the flat blue, which they only painted on the streetglide and bob, i opted for the bob. plus, the 07 roadglide had the fugly alum engine cases.

what speed were you doing the last time you ground out your boards? roughly 70 mph

do you think black is a sensible color for all standard seats to be made? black is the new black.

i need some grips like yours. everybody does, they're the shits.

i think you should tell us about your screen mod. no.

have you ever had an issue with the final drive? notatall.

when you last took a right turn, were you debating a left turn at the same time. eh, huh?

how many corners do you think of in advance on a road you are familiar with. 2.
