I found your channel after seeing the Fatboy review you did, and have watched a few others today. Thanks much for taking the time to talk about the bikes history, what it's pros and cons are, and where it would fit well into people's lifestyles. It's extremely helpful, Matt. I've had a few Harley's including a Street Glide Special, Soortster, 05 FXDWGI, 03 Night Train with a SE 117, and currently ride a '16 DWG. I also bought my wife a '15 FXDL for a wedding present. Many of the KZbin reviews seem to lean toward sales pitches for three minutes - your time, patience, and honesty are extremely helpful and important, Matt. If ever in SoCal, I'll be sure to swing by to thank you personally and check out your shop. And I'll keep my eyes peeled for a FXDL review. Ride safe.

I love the Wide Glide. I was VERY saddened to hear that it's discontinued for 2018. It really has a classic Harley feel. I love the raw mechanical feeling of the rubber mounted engine and the raked out forks and skinny 21" front wheel. There's nothing in the 2018 lineup that's comparable. I'm a very old school type and this is THE Iconic Harley for me. I recognize all the advancements in performance and comfort of the new lineup, but for me, a Harley has to have that visceral, mechanical feeling and classic chopper styling. The Iconic Harley. The beautiful, perfect Wide Glide.... :(

I knew what I wanted and put 1000.00 down over the phone before I even walked into the shop. The old school look rocks but yeah handling isn't the best but that doesn't matter to me.

Currently on a 2012 and also had a 2011 that got stolen. I have a 30" inseam and found the factory pegs were a little bit of a reach for me, mainly came into play on longer rides. I replaced the factory pegs with some mini floor boards that helped me. I'm currently in a hotel while on a 2000+ mile trip on my Wide Glide, coming from the Rockies where I ran my WG up Pike's Peak and all around the mountains.

Hey man! Most bikes made for taller people like myself (6'7"), are usually much more wide because they expect someone who's my size to be much bigger in width. However, I'm only 200lbs and pretty skinny and lanky. Any Harley bike recommendations for a skinny but tall person? This bike looks fantastic & I'd love to have it but I feel like it would be too small for me. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Great video, I bought a vivid black Wide Glide new in 2014 and still have it. The handling can be greatly improved by just going up one size from the 80/90-21 front tire to a 90/90-21, and get rid of the terrible Michelin Scorcher tires that come on this bike. I have run both Dunlops and now Metzler ME888s both were a big improvement. Mine has a Top Hand Ventures classic sissy bar, Mustang seat and a set of Vance and Hines.

As for the comfort I have no problem riding long distances because of the mini apes that were standard in 07 and a nice seat but your passenger may only last about 50 miles before they need a break.

I've had my 2012 Wide Glide since it was new. I bought it in November 2011. 10 years and still loving it. I just road it from San Ysidro, California to my new home in Harker Heights, Texas. It was a two-day trip with a stop at my brother's house in El Paso. I rode all day from early morning to after sunset each day. After two days my right hand was a little fatigued from holding the throttle but I was comfortable and made good time. I'll be riding this FXDWG until they take my license away. Oh, I am one of the older guys who like the classic style of the Wide Glide. My first Harley was a 1977 XLCH 1000 Sportster (kick start only.) I bought it when I was a 19-year-old Marine. Good review Matt! One thing I never got into though is the lane-splitting in regular traffic. Bumper-to-bumper, rush hour traffic, I'll lane split, but in regular surface street traffic, I stay in line. There is too much unnecessary lane-splitting being done nowadays.

The SSS w/backrest really bends your knees and it becomes an all day rider. I also have shoulder height monkey bars, IDK but it looks like 17 is raked out a little more, the 07 handles the curves just fine Mine has the bobtail fender, the 17 is not bobtail it is chopped fender.

I disagree regarding the ride on rough roads. Because of the larger diameter front tire one feels the bump less than a bike with a smaller diameter tire. I have an 05 DWG (bought new) with 56k miles. The most I ever rode in one day was 1350 miles (4 years ago). It rides very well on the interstates and my butt never and I mean never gets sore, with a stock seat. I've been riding motorcycles since before you were born. I did a ride last year of 3200 miles in 3 days (I am currently 66 years young). This is my 13th motorcycle, 9 of those being dirt bikes. I did race motocross in my younger days - for 8 years.

Can the new 18' low rider seat mount up to a 13'-17' wide glide? I love the new seat on the low rider.

The last bike I test rode was a V Rod Muscle, would this fit much different?

Hey Matt how tall are you? Would you say WG is a good choice for taller rider?

Quite a nice bike but yeah it sounded like a 'souped up sewing machine, But with a free flowing airbox, ECM and V&H Short shots, well she sounds throaty and runs better than when new. I put Hi-way bars on her, new grips and chrome coil covers w/ fat orange wires.Getting over 52 at times and really rolling on her. A great bike.

"Quite a nice bike but yeah it sounded like a 'souped up sewing machine" His audio does not capture the sound. I own one. It sounds just like a big Harley should sound.
