Default 2018 Road Glide Special

Traded my 15 RGS for an 18 RGS. My dealer was nice enough to send a few pics of my new sled today! I am working out of town and I haven't seen the bike in person yet but I will next week! Here are a few pics getting some Stage 4 motivation! Pretty pumped to say the least!

Looks like you also own a RKS. Did you keep that bike too?

I have a 15 RGS and am thinking of the 18 too - prefer the idea of blacked out rather than chrome everywhere

Haha...sweet! Love it! Funny I was thinking of giving my RGS up for a RKS as I was thinking it would be a much more spirited ride than the big bad bagger. Do you plan to keep both or see which one you like better and go from there?

I have to say the RKS is more nimble than the RG. I have found the RK with a WS to have much more buffeting and turbulence than the RG. Now, that is after I experimented with diff windshields on the RG and created the "perfect bubble" . So I plan to keep the RK for bouncing around town and bar hopping. The RG will be the long range bike. Stupid I know, but I get to tinker with two bikes and it makes me smile plus they are cheaper than strippers and blow. The bonus is after the Stage 4 on the RG I will have an extra set of M8 heads to send to Fuel Moto so I can bump the RK to a 117 or 120. Now the challenge is to stay away from the P&A Catalog sitting in the garage!

Ha ha. Yes sir I am a closer! I still have to tell my wife the white one is coming home instead of the black one. You think she will notice?
