In response to your question, I decided to get the Wide Glide, because in my opinion, and I know that everyone is different, but to me, it is the best looking bike that Harley makes, and I really like the sporty look of the front end and the ape hanger handle bars. Also, being that it is a Dyna model, it will have the vibrations at low rpms that everyone expects that a Harley should have.
I totally agree with you about the windshield. I hate to put one on it, and I really think that it spoils the look of the bike. But like you, so many others have told me that once I ride with it on there that I will love it, especially on the longer rides at higher speeds. However, what convinced me to really get one was finding out that they make detachable windshields which can be put on and taken off in a matter of minutes I know that I can have a windshield on the bike when I am touring or taking long trips on the Interstate, and I can take it off when I am simply cruising around on it at lower speeds. Being detachable, I figure that I can have the best of both worlds.
By the way, I hope that you are looking forward to getting your Wide Glide as much as I am. I am like a little kid at Christmas time over this bike, and have been since the day I placed the order in July. Mine will be delivered sometimes the first of December, and hopefully I will be riding it by Christmas. Good luck to you, and happy riding. Thanks for the reply.
