I have wanted one for many many many years. Never a fan of the batwing after my 05 EGlide Classic. I am really glad I waited for these newer variants because they are completely different bikes from earlier versions. Mine will have very few mods for the next two years and am completely happy with the power as is.

Beautiful ride. You will be tossing it around as easy as your dyna in no time. I am amazed at how when these bikes handle once I got over the fear of the extra weight.

100 miles of good twisty roads yesterday and she handles like a dream!!!! Having to try and adjust to the floorboard and rear brake location is my only real issue currently In over 45 years of riding this is only my second bike and Harley with this setup. I am in LOVE with this thing and especially the 55mpg plus I'm currently getting out of it and that's pretty much normal mixed riding. Not babying this thing!

Yeah.... That's what I said too Congrats and enjoy your new ride. No doubt that you'll soon be thinking it's the best move you've ever made. I don't have a RG, but I put 16,000 Km on my 17 RK last season, and over 4,000 so far this season. It was an awesome bike to begin with, but it still just keeps getting better and better.
