I bought mine on August 31, 2019. I have done a TON to it. I had my fairing painted, I put in a JW Speakers adaptive 2 light, Custom Dynamics lights all around, to include the tail light (all smoked), saddlebag guards and rails, a chopped tour pack, a Mustang touring seat, V&H Daytona 400 slip ons, a Screamin Eagle high flow air cleaner, a Powervision tuner, 12" ape bars, and the Sony AX7000 stereo. I LOVE customizing this thing!!!

@@texasgrunt5699 I went with the lowest screen for 2014+ batwing from knock werks, 5" or 5.5" from memory & it is the best I've tried. Super low look and very little if any at all buffering.

Just pick up a new 2020 Electra Glide Standard last week, my 9 th HD. Loving it. Years back I had an 06 Street Glide and this one feels just like it but much better. more power, 6 speed, cruise control, better suspension and frame. Enjoy the ride, keep safe. Cheers.

I'm glad I bought my 2019 Electra Glide Standard, my riding buddies were shocked with how much power the bike has. I also liked the fact that I can upgrade the bike the way I want. I'm about to order some lower fairings and looking at chopped tour packs. I haven't decided on which exhaust to put on it yet. Thanks

It’s a 19 came with back rest, luggage rack (detachable), touring seat, screaming eagle pipes, stage2 kit (cams), and lower fairings, passenger floor boards, only 960 miles on it. Everything for $16,500 bought from HD Oxford, Alabama. The only downside for me is I’m damn 5’6, 195 lbs. yeah I know go ahead laugh, but once I get her maneuvered this beast is pure pleasure. Happy riding brah

Congratulations, you got a great deal on your bike. You can change the seat (lower) to accommodate your height. I bike is very easy to maneuver once you get use to it. I added a seat and backrest, I need to make another video. I still need to add lower fairings and maybe chopped tour pack. Be safe out there brother.
