2014 Harley-Davidson FLHXS Street Glide Special

Summary:

The bike is very sleek and stylish with great handling and plenty of power

Faults:

Since I changed the exhaust, I had a couple times it paused before starting or even had to roll forward as if it was stuck in between gears; not sure if it's due to back pressure, but we were riding most of the day so I can't see it being the battery.

General Comments:

The passenger part of the stock seat was not comfortable at all, and on our Sturgis trip last year we bought a new seat (to make my wife happy and the rest of the trip good). No other changes really need to be made.

2015 Harley-Davidson FLHXS Street Glide Special

Summary:

After 112 years, they still don't have it right!

Faults:

The compensator for the primary chain.

Issues with the radio, issues with the GPS.

General Comments:

It's fun to drive. It's probably the best ride quality this company ever put out. The brakes are awesome.

Could use a little more suspension travel.

2015 Harley-Davidson FLHXS Street Glide Special

Summary:

This is the best bike I've ever owned, and I have had around 40 bikes

Faults:

Only recall items. There have been a few.

General Comments:

I have mostly ridden sport bikes and dual sport. Only ever owned one "cruiser type", that was a muscle bike (Kawasaki Eliminator). Thought I would never ever ride an old man bike. I absolutely love this bike. Have ridden it in the mountains, North Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, NC (Tail of the Dragon/Cherohola, etc).

This bike handles like a dream, the comfort is good, but I had to put a 4" windshield due to wind buffet. The seat gets old quick, for 25K I would think the seat would be much better. At 5' 10" I find the bars a touch too far forward, but otherwise, the bike is perfect.

Radio is adequate, but that will be the first upgrade. Very expensive, as is everything HD. NAV package and cruise I have found much more enjoyable than I ever imagined. If I could get that old HD sound and a little louder would be fun, but I love the radio, so the quiet bike works for me. I have an 08 Street Bob to make noise on.

2014 Harley-Davidson FLHXS Street Glide Special

Summary:

Love it, Mysterious Red looks great in the sunlight

Faults:

The only issues have been manufacturer recalls. All fixed within an hour at the dealer.

General Comments:

Upgraded after 31 years from my previous bike. So this one is a huge difference, power and handling. The bike looks and runs great. Never thought I would like a radio as much as I do. GPS is a great feature.

My biggest complaint, like all new bikes, is you spend 25k and you think it would have a better seat.
