Default I’m here

I came kicking and screaming, but I finally pulled the trigger. Traded my beloved 08 105th ultra in on a 2019 FLTRU with stage 1 upgrade, Rinehart slip ons, and complete LED light upgrade package.




Went over to Meredith for lunch at Town Docks and stopped into Laconia HD....came out with a shark nose.

Congratulations on the shark nose. I'm not going back to the bat wing.

I had Khromewerks sweepers on the 08, already can’t stand the wheelbarrow feeling of the stock bars. Height is fine, but think I’ll look for the sweepers for that too. I believe they make them for the road glides too. Also gotta put footboard extenders on and get a different recurve windshield

first things first... Change that windshield to something with a flip. Much better wind management. The factory shield sucks. Mine is a freedom shield. Clear vision top to bottom clears air over my wife and it's thick so it doesn't vibrate. Nice ride!!!
