    Part 2
    As for performance upgrades, there are lots of great threads on this site that will help you way more than I ever could with that. A quick list though, would be pipes, air cleaners, tuner, plugs and wires, cams etc. You really can do ALOT for low cost if you are willing to do your own work. There is all the help you can ever hope for on this site with Dave63, Schmidtys and others that have great advice, expertise and experience.

    Ride free and enjoy your Wide Glide! I've had others in over 35 years of street riding but this bike gives me everything I want! WGs are light, handle well in the corners, are really smooth at speed (80 and up) on the super slab and don't feel like a rolling couch with all those heavy bags, full fairings etc. Just never been my style personally. I have done 650+ mile days on the WG and not much problem at all. Even with the stock seat!

    Shiny side up Bro!

    As far as saddlebags, the ones I have were purchased from ccsaddlebags.com and have worked perfectly for a few years now. The leather is heavy, they have a large selection and all at the same price. The construction of the bags I have is really rugged, and considering how much rain we get here with proper care are lasting really well!

    I would head down to your local leather shop or check out a few shops online like leatherup.com or rudedogleather.com or similar places to look for your leathers. My number one recommendation is to try on anything you want to buy FIRST. Just my feelings on the leathers thing. I don't buy those online if I can help it.

    Had to split this message into 2.
