I went to the local dealer yesterday to test ride the new Road Glide and they made me a deal I couldn't refuse to trade my 2013 Limited. I took the limited back to stock so I could sell the extras and moved the pipes, and highway pegs to the new bike. I also bought a set of the new Boom speakers and a docking kit that I put on.
So far everything is working great. The speakers seem hard to hear, even the 6.5 Boom ones I put in. They aren't as loud as the hogtuness I had on the Limited. Not sure if it's the distance from the rider. I plan on taking an extended ride tomorrow to get a better feel for things.
I also order a set of the custom dynamics turn signals for the front and back. I chose vivid black because I'd like to do an Orange/Black paint scheme at some point.

 

Congrats and welcome to the TANK!

I believe its the wind noise from the short windshield for your radio not being heard, rode one, had others tell me the same, congrat's on the new bike tho

 

That's probably it. I didn't like the Harley shields, so I'm hoping that Long Ride Shields are working on some for the new Road Glide. I liked the one I had on my Limited.

 

What is so different about the RGS over the RG...other than the inner fairing and the info center...I know you are happy with that sweet ride...

 

Just as with the Street Glide Special over the standard Street Glide

ABS Brakes and Security System are standard on the specials.
Security: $395 option on the standard version
ABS: $795 option on the standard version

The "specials" also get the HD Premium Hand Adjustable rear shocks.

Along with the two features you mentioned (painted inner fairing, and larger infotainment system)

 

....... welcome to the Secret Society of the Sharknose
....... yeah, changing the shield makes a huge difference

 

Congrats on the new shark.

 

The Specials really get the HD premium shocks? That's kind of insulting that the Ultra Limited does not have them.

Nice looking RG. I really dig the new ones. My buddies that all ride the older RG's aren't big fans of the new ones.

 

To be fair, my information is based on the 2014 Street Glide Special vs the 2014 Street Glide Standard.

I am "assuming" the 2015 models are the same, and would apply to the new Road Glide Special vs the Road Glide Standard.
