Glad you're enjoying it, got any pics yet?

Enjoy

Hope the original poster has many years of riding. A great bike that Harley to be sure. Being on the north side of 60 and having owned many great bikes, BSA, Triumph, Honda, and Harley among others, the one thing I have learned is that happiness is not in things rather it is within ones soul. Again many great bikes of all marques out there. Ride safe....Tim

I had a GREAT Electra Glide before I started working in public service. My Shadow rides as well on my 40 mile commute, with less vibration. Now if I was leaving MS to head toward the Black Hills, I'd like to have my Electra Glide back. Main thing is ride what you like and be safe doing so.

Nice bike, Kentor.

We trudge on.

Nice bike!

Come back and post a review once you have ridden it for awhile.

I did remove the heel shifter. I just shift with my toe anyway so it was just in my way of putting my foot on the floor board.

That was the first thing I did to my bike too. I gave it a few days, but just couldn't get used to it. None of my bikes ever had one before so it just felt awkward.

 

[1rusty1]

Yeah. I pulled my heal shifter too. Kept getting in the way when I wanted to adjust my foot.

I think there's a cover you can get to put over the shaft too when you remove the heel shifter.

 

[JBourquin]

Yeah, I got one. You can get them just about anywhere. eBay, JCWhitney, Dennis Kirk, most dealers... theres also a spacer you can put behind your front shift fork if you don't want the cap sticking out.

 

[1rusty1]

I put one on mine. cleaned it up quite a bit.

 

[Kentor1701]

I did put the cover on the shaft when I took off the heel shifter. The spacer that would go behind the toe shifter was more expensive. I like the way it looks with the cap.

Okay its been 4 weeks now. I now have 650 miles on the bike. Feeling alot more comfortable. I love the bike. Realistically though I have zero experience on other bikes so I would have absolutely no idea how my Harley would compare to other bikes. I do tbink mine is probably easier to ride because the seat height is so low at 23.8 inches which gives it a low center of gravity. The longer I have it the harder it is to stay and off it. At first I was a little scared of it being new. I had a sense of dread when I was going to get on it. Now I just want to ride. I love my Harley but at this point I just love riding. I am mot sure if it would matter what bike I am on. I got the riding bug now there is no turning back.
