About my FLHX Street Glide

This is my fourth harley, started out on a sportster, then had a low rider, then bought a deluxe in 2005.  in 06' when the street glide came out, I was sick.  Finally traded the deluxe in for my baby, the street glide in 06.  My wife said it looked like an old man's bike, so I named her ethel, then gave the bike a complete transformation.  Powdercoated the forks, 21 inch front spoke wheel, bad dad rear fender, arlen ness bag extensions, custom chrome taillight, pipes are homemade out of fishtails with the tails cut off, and exhaust tips made for a tuner car welded on.  She still tells me it looks like an old mans bike, but she loves to ride with me and listen to the radio.

I like the rear end. the tumbstone is a lost look. Nice to see some old school on a new ride.

I like the looks of the powdecoated forks and the front wheel spokes.  Looks clean and traditional.  The frenched in license plate is a nice touch but would like to see the brake light and turn signals frenched into the lower fenders and bags getting that tombstone taillight and turn signals off and cleaning up the rear.  No mention of any engine work.  Install a race tuner, open up the air intake and this bike should kick-butt.  Overall nice look.
