Default my 2018 rgs and my thoughts so far

coming from a 2013 street bob the road glide is way different, the motor is awesome (i dont get caught up in reading about sumping and oil burning)and so far im loving every mile of it, ive done some 4-5 hour rides on it so far and cant be any happier, i never really looked into a road glide until 2018 and the all blacked out look and soon as i saw it i knew i had to have it


so far ive done handlebars and a seat / tab mufflers and thats all i plan on doing to it, im actually changing the bars to vindiktas as these handle bars have no pull back, weird because i honestly dont want to do a stage 1 at all, i just read its not worth it on the m8 plus i feel the power is enough the only mod i wanna do is put miles on this thing

The white Road Glides are gorgeous, My Wicked Red has over 20,000 miles, hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. Really good bikes.

The downside of owning one? Having to have it serviced and the down time. Exactly why I keep 2 bikes. Dropping mine off tomorrow.
