Default 2015 Road Glide
Picked up my bike yesterday. The ride home wasn't the best experience. But that's more the dealers fault. All day I had been dealing with there screw ups. So when I came back at 6pm with the plate. I hoped bike would be all set. Nope. My seat not on and for some reason they service department is not smart enough to put pegs on. So after 15 mins its getting darker and colder I just want to get it home. So with no pegs the bike was very cramped and knees touched handlebars on slow turns. But got it home in one piece. I put the mounts and pegs on this AM. took down street. that was a huge help. But bars are terrible. But I can see why people say the new frame and such are better than the old. The 103 HO seem to have a lot more power than my 08 96in

My biggest complaint was the handlebars other than that. Love the bike. I am getting use to the bars now though 500 miles in.

The handlebars are advertised as 5 3/4" closer to the rider.

A bigger fella... gonna need to change those.

This is almost like the tall guy saying the new Ultra Low doesn't fit him.

I picked mine up Friday and love it. I ended up rolling the bars as far forward as I could go and they are MUCH better now. I had to pull the pin in the risers to roll the bars, but that was a real easy project. Now just waiting for more companies to come out with apes for these!

It's hard to feel bad for those that rode one home knowing there were going to be comfort issues before even leaving the dealership...
