Got to ride my 17 RG stage 2 torque cam for the first time put about 100 miles on it.Mine runs smooth no noise just keeps pulling real pleased with it.Also did a handle bar change to KST 12 in. Outlaws like them also got everything to my liking.Bike run good stock but the torque cam stage 2 makes it like a different ride.

I think he's laughing because it's 107 on a 107 ci motor...

600+ miles this passed weekend. Rode down to Tulsa for the night, over to AR the next day, then back up to the Burg. Was so great being out in Feb. Honestly, surprising since it's usually the only month the bikes stay holed up for better weather. Supposed to turn to crud again this weekend...go figure.

OP - I live just across the river from you. When I got my 17 RGS in late Sept, I broke it in by crossing Iowa on 18,34,30,20, I-80 and two north south routes on each end of the state. It took 5 days and over 2K. Saw some very interesting sights.

The past few days have been extraordinary for riding. We have had temps warmer than were my son lives in Vegas.

I have the RGS at 8,500 now and it just keeps getting better.

Did you get yours at Weibler's?

Wow! 8500? Good for you , dude.

And yes. Got mine from Wieblers. My second new bike from them. So far I am really happy with the sales and service.

Let's ride sometime. Hit me up at bradneal24 at gmail.com.

Good luck on the new ride! I also installed a LRS on my RGU cause I had one on my 2012 Ultra Limited and really liked it. Seemed to like it just as much on this bike till I took my wife for a long ride. She said she was getting blasted right in her face the whole ride. Now researching new options as I really don't like the stocker either cause the top edge cuts right across my sight line. Hope yours works out for you.

Curious what your LRS measures across the back side at the narrowest point. I have a Freedom shield and its 24"

Only got about 60 miles in on mine...Weather sucks in the Mitten. Anybody get any exhaust upgrades yet? Also I heard if you change the header pipes it voids the warrant apparently on the 107??
