Hey man, I totally hear you. Your story sounds like mine. I usually drive/ride my vehicles for a very long time. I put a lot of money and effort into my 2019 SGS to make it mine. But then, the damn Raven Fade showed up. The first time I saw it on the website, I thought it looked amazing. Man, I thought about it... I always said, if I was going to blow 50k+ for a bike, it would have to be perfect.
Sooooo....I did my annual trip to NC. We rode Blueridge, Dragon...it was awesome time. Unfortunately, I left my gas cap at the gas station, so we went to the Blueridge HD so I could get a new gas cap. We walk in and there it was. Right there in front.. under the spot lights. 2025 Raven Fade. I never seen it in person and I was just stunned. It was that perfect bike. I started to talk to the sales guy and found out that I could actually get a lot more than I thought for my bike.
When I got back home to Ohio, I saw my local dealer video on Instagram unloading one of those. It was over then. I said "**** it" and reached out to them. Made an appointment and went to get it. One of the best purchases I ever made.
It looks even better in the sun! The ONLY thing I wish is if instead of orange accents, they used red, but I do understand why they did it.
Except that god awful seat! OMG that is the WORST seat I ever sat on. WTF Harley!? Such a nice looking seat and it's crazy uncomfortable. I finally got it back from Mean City and they seem to do a great job on it. Went with Iron Butt option. The seat seems harder, but it's memory foam and also, we added tailbone channel. Sucks I can't try it out because it's snowing here!
