Smart move changing the suspension even if not for ride quality yet!. You'd quickly learn the stock sucks bad!!!!!

That RGS in billiard blue is tempting, whispering sweet nothings in my ear, till the ol lady smacked me upside the other ear.

Women are not attuned to the higher frequencies that new Harley's put out, missing gene I think.

Your posts of the Sport Glide inspired me to buy mine, can't wait to see your Road Glide posts. Enjoy and good luck with the new ride.

RG or RGS is what I am wondering OP ended up with. About 4K more for the Special. I checked them out this weekend and don't know if I could justify the Special. But then again, I can be financially A irresponsible so probably would. And yeah, need pics.

At first I intended to keep the sportglide -just traded the indian scout, but then I got to thinking, hell why not trade em all in and up the engine to a 117 and set it all on top of Legend suspension - SO I DID!

Road Glide Special and immediate upgrades to Legend Suspension and SE Stage IV or 117 plant.
