Hi Neil. Knew I could count on you to help out a fellow Bueller. How ya been ? It does sound like a nice trip, Tulsa to Tampa. And believe it or not i`m selling one of the S1`s. I still can`t believe it myself. It`s getting pried out of the garage (aka The Shop) by a friend of mine who wants to get back into riding. HMMMMM just shopping around a little. S1Eric | ||

Medic, Hey, after riding around on my XB9S, I always wanted to try out the 12R. If I could only find someone who wants my bike, I would gladly buy yours! | ||

There are tons of people buying bikes right now, good market. I don't really want to sell mine, but,(always a but) I found a Super Glide I REALLY want, and, I usually end up riding my X-1. She's paid for, and doesn't eat much, so if she doesn't go, I'll just wait until I find a wrecked Dyna Super Glide. Let me know, you can come and take her for a spin, see if you like the 'R' or not. | ||

medic, have you ever ridden a superglide. we had a 2000 of which we bought to get the wife riding and i honestly have to tell you that it was neither a good starter bike for the wife(found out the hard way)but i couldn't ride that thing 100 miles without it killing my back because your slouched on it if your around 5'8". personally, i wouldn't ever get another one. if you want something that handles great and do a long run on go with the least a road king. i would rather do a long trip on the firebolt than the superglide. try and put some miles on it before you decide. just my opinion. | ||

Thanks for the intel, I just really wanted one of those 35th Anniversary Super Glides(Red White & Blue) because my dad has an original '71(the boat tail/original night train in Gleaming America colors). I am 6' tall, did you try different bars or seat? I got a softail that I bought wrecked:  I was just wanting one, if I found one to borrow for a day or two, I might change my mind, but alas, no place to rent one in Oklahoma, to the best of my knowledge. So, I was thinking Super Glide Sport, black motor, better forks and shocks, then add a '72 Super Glide paint scheme(black red & blue, midnight express). Because the FXD35i was a $5000 paint job. I dig the stars & stripes #1 emblem, gives it that Evel Knievel feel. Your're probably right I'll regret it, I miss my XB9S-X, after it, I wish I had an XB12S to 'X' up. | ||

never tried a different seat. i just know the seating position wasn't for me on it. i've realized i either have to be straight up or leaning forward a little. don't even know if i'd be able to ride an r for very long being that much forward. i can understand about the look of the 35th. one good looking bike. good luck | ||

As for shipping this bike, I am out. Sorry, had a previous bike I sold, and shipped then when it arrived at it's new home the shipping went from $600 to $2000. That guy is still fighting with the shipping company. I'd bring her within a few hundred miles for the price of fuel for my pickup. | ||

That's a gorgeous bike, is it still for sale? It's a little far from here, but we could probably work something out. |
