Nice bike, great color, thanks for the post.
Still in love with my 14 RK but its the longest I ever owned a bike now, sometimes I start getting that itch and maybe a little bit more as the new M8 lineup matures.
Who knows? I dont, but its a fun thought if another RK one day or SG ... (scary part is wife is on board too, for whatever I want)

What do you all think of the speakers that come with the RGS? To me they sound great, but are not loud enough. Thoughts?

I've got D&D exhaust, tuner and apes being added this week. So far, a hell of a ride! I'm reviewing the M8 forum and look forward to contributing as I learn about this new bike!

So with the D&D exhaust, did you just void your powertrain warranty on the bike?

they seem better than the stock speakers that I had on my 15 SGS. I just put on a taller windshield so I’m curious to see if that helps with the volume!

They just don't cut it at hwy speeds. An amp and better speakers are a must.

I've always been partial to the Batwing and I never cared for the shark nose but I've got to say they're starting to grow on me and I like the sound of the whole front end feeling a little bit lighter. & that wicked red denim is freakin sharp!

I've ridden Road Kings and Wings for years so the non movable Sharknose fairing was REALLY weird to get used to. Felt like I was driving a couch...but I'll tell you...highway riding at speed with zero buffeting from the fairing to the bars was awesome. The RGS cuts thru the wind and vehicle drafts like butter. Def recommend it.
