2009 Street Glide Improvements over 2008

[09GLDR]

I went with the V&H big radius on my 09 glide, It is a bit different than the traditional look of a bagger but it does look and sound great!

Hello, I just bought an 09 Street Glide this past Sunday. Brought it home and had to wait three days before I could ride it due to the rain. I have been riding a 07 Heritage for the past three years and have fallen in love with the SG. It handles so much better than the Heritage. I didn't expect a larger, heavier bike to handle so much better. I just ordered a set of Rush slip-ons with 2.25" baffles and the SE stage I air cleaner kit. Can't wait to get them put on the bike. My only complaint is the wind buffeting I get over the flairing/windshield. Can anyone tell me what the minimum height windshield would be to take care of this problem. I am about 5' 8" if that matters. Thanks,

:newsmile107:Try the Klock Werks curve windshield. I put one on my 09 SG and it stopped the glasses shake and helmet bob. A little on the pricey side but well worth the investment

I just picked mine up on Monday but after 300 miles in 4 days, I can say that the 6.5" shield works fine for me. Not too tall. I am 5'10" and I catch a little of wind at my hairline. Hope this helps.

Hey Dave, how about a few pics of that beauty with the Klock Werks curve. Never seen one. Specs and price would be nice. Thanks

Hoping to pick mine up in a week or 2. Hard to find that elustrious Black pearl I guess..... Now, to find an owner for my 2002 FLSTF so the dealer doesnt hand it to me too much!

My bad, it is called the FLARE not the curve (think that's the name of my cell phone). You can see it at Kustom Baggers. They now have 2 models, 6.5" and 3.5", both cost $169.95. Mine is the 6.5" dark smoke and I'm 6' tall and it works great, I can see over it but during the day you can look thru it if you need to(although a some what distorted view). I'll try to get some pics up in a few days but for now the Klock Werks web site has some good ones.

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the 6.5", it doesn't take away from the sporty look of the bike. My SE stage I air cleaner is supposed to be delivered today, so I will be putting it on tonight. I am still waiting on a shipping confirmation and tracking number for the Rush slip-ons. I can hardly wait to hear them. I hope they have the deep rumble that they had on my Heritage. Let you know when I do.

Don't worry, you'll love the sound. I went with baloney cut (slash out), which ones did you get?
Are you doing a supertuner after the pipes and air cleaner? I use a 6.5" windshield in winter and on long trips (the shorty fits in the saddle bag). I'm still looking at other other windshields, but this works for me (and costs no additional $$$).

I'm getting the staight cut. My dealer told me that I only need a stage 1 download, but I'm thinking about getting a Fuel Pak tuner. Does the fuel pack have a standard setting for slip-ons and air cleaner kit or will I have to have my bike put on a dyno to set it?
