Default New Road Glide

Pulled the trigger and traded my 2014 Ultra Limited for a 2017 Road Glide. So far I am loving it!! Seems more comfortable driving as my shoulders are bad and the Limited made them hurt. Came with Stage One air , Screamin Eagle slip ons, and adjustable backrest. Was managers demo .

Congrats! Nice bike. I've considered going to the Road Glide for my next bike. I think these are the best stock touring handle bars HD puts on a bike.

Just curious, what dealership? I have buddy who bought his 2017 CVO Limited in Tulsa.

How does that seat feel? It seemed like mine had me shoved so far forward I could change the radio settings with my nose. I had to get a Corbin sole classic set and extended brake and shifter so I could stretch out.
If ya think the ride is great now, try a car tire on the back.

Not gonna lie, the stock bars suck. Really hard angle I the wrist. But probably ok for some.

Congrats! I have the same bike but found the bars still not perfect so I changed them to 14" Wild1s. Incredible comfort now.

Here's a crappy pic of what that looks like for reference in case you ever get the itch....

Went from a 2015 CVO limited to a 2016 RGU put ohlins on full stage1 custom dynamics and just waiting on some Roadglide Special bars coming, then I'm all set. Never looked back, would never have a bat fairing glide again.

I like Harley World a lot because they are a no pressure very friendly group. But I guess you have to be a friend to get a good price because they won't deal anywhere close to the dealerships in Tulsa.
