I thought I was going to wait for a 2015 convertible, but a dealer close by called me and said they had a crystal red with Kalahari top and guts. Went to just look, well they made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I love the car, if I could figure out how to post a picture I would.
I just can't believe how much better the ride is compared to my Grand Sport.

I have a similar car that was apparently built last week. Can't wait to get it.

Enjoy!

Yep, 2013 Street Glide. Now that I have the Vette it's used as a towel rack.
Not really, I love my Harley.

Well then double congrats on having a really nice Harley as well!!

When I first got my '427', my Harley (FLHTCUSE7) sat there for awhile as I was having too much fun top down.

Best looking C7 I have seen to date and can see why you fell in love with it when you saw it.

Really sharp looking color combo with those wheels and like the small spoiler much better than the full width ones.
