    I had a 2007 Street Glide and loved it. I traded a 04 NightTrain on it cause i wanted a bagger to long distance ride on. It was great for the year i toured it out west. Wasnt a big fan of it for commuting in heavy traffic. A little too heavy and cumbersome for me in stop and go. Sold it and paid cash for a Sportster XR1200 cause i wanted something more nimble to corner on. That bike was fun for about 2 months then i was god awful bored with it. It just desperately needed about 40 more HP to even start to perk my interest. Sold it and have been bikeless for the last 2 years. Just now starting to get serious again and have been looking at the Kawi Z1000....

    I got the wild hair up my ass that I needed a Road Glide Custom that Longhorn had, and once I rode it, I was a bit heartbroken. I just didnt fit worth a shit. I assume that they build them for guys who are 5'8" with Napoleon sydrome.

    It was all stock, bars, etc, and I wasn't real impressed with the position of the bars, so I think I would have to go with some 12-14" bars and something a little different on the floor boards because I felt like my legs needed to be stretched out just a little more.

    Exactly. A bad ass MF that no one has or a overpriced HD that everybody has. Ok I actually really like the HD's and they have come a long way from my old shovel technology, but damn the price.

    That is actually my plan right now, I looked at the cost to add some things to mine, figured out that it's cheaper to buy one already done up then sell mine.

My stepdad bought a Victory Cross Country tour and THAT is a sick bike. faster, better handling then any of the other baggers. and a removeable tour pack. I love that bike.
