E-glides were pretty bulky until they moved the engine oil tank under the transmission. It seemed like they took 100lbs off the bike. Dropped the center of gravity and gave the whole shabang a sport feel. '93, I think..... ??

Color me impressed, Joe. My FLH Ultra feels like a dirt bike (albeit an 850# dirt bike). The ease at which I can flit the thing around, cherry picking my lines, is really quite amazing. Two MPH full-lock parking lot turns feet up become second nature after a day's seat time.

At night, the spotlights illuminate the road like a DC-9; nothing escapes your view. The protection afforded in cold weather is so good, I almost expect trouble when the warm weather kicks in (I've only experienced 70°+ temperatures so far, so I honestly can't comment). I wish I had heated grips . . .

The passive anti-dive works well enough, though it can be fooled at parking lot speeds if you're ham-fisted with the front brake. Still, I wish they'd kept the air assisted scheme; I liked how you could easily play with the ride height.

It irritates me that I have to spend another $100 to make the locking fuel door more civilived (where the hell did I put the key?). And whats up with the butt ugly brake pedal? It belongs on a Snapper riding mover, not a beautiful bike like the FLH . . .
