40 Degrees!
At last another ride on the new FLHX Streetglide. This is all very interesting because i've never ridden a touring bike so i'm learning lots as I go. Today I put on about 35 miles because it hit 40 degrees in Minnesota. The streetglide certainly has a stiffer suspension than my Softail but its still acceptable. I can understand why people go back to the touring shocks however. The Harmon Kardon radio is impressive in that I can have a full face helmet on withe the visor down and still hear the music clearly. The contols on the handlebars are easy to use but i've got a problem where CD's skip so often you can't really use the CD player. The HD Dealer says its not supposed to be like that so i'll have them look at it when i've got my 1k miles on the streetglide. Oddly my favorite thing is the position of the right brake pedal. On my softail you had to lift your foot to brake. On my streetglide I just put my toe over the pedal and push and my foot is still sitting on the floorboard, very comfortable. Overall i'm liking the streetglide more and more each time I ride it.
