I am about to trade my 08 fxdc for a very low mileage 07 cobalt blue fxdwg from a stealer. I just love the look of the wide glides. I have some questions. 1. Is there anything that I have to worry about? Were there any problems with 2007 engines? Any recalls concerning this specific model (I heard something about problems with the handlebars)? 2. I want to get some drag bars. I have seen some wideglides with street slammers; love the look. In relation to the standard mini apes, do they make you lean forward? I am 5.9 with 30-31 inseam and the set up forward controls - mini apes feels comfortable. I want drag bars but something that would put me in a similar position to the mini apes (but do not like ones with > 8'' risers). Also, what about the HD billet aluminum handlebar? Is it any good? How long are the risers (or can one choose whatever length risers they want)?
I got an 06 Wide Glide, Cobalt blue ironically. No issues, my factory apes got warrantied was the only thing. Cracking down at the base or something the MOCO issued a recall for. I lean back pretty nice on mine. I'm 6'4 though. I will be putting on a 3" forward control extension this winter. I don't feel like I have to "reach" at all for the controls though. I have the 25 degree injectors, never had any of the injector problems that others dealth with, I think the others are 8's....is that right? Mine is of course a 88 TC, not the 96. Love it, I'll never get rid of it. Got a few mods on mine you can see in my sig. PM if you got any questions. Good luck and enjoy.
