Rides great. Couple hundred miles on the shocks and they’re way better than the air junk that was on there. My 2 up noticed a big difference as well. Did 200 miles yesterday with the new lift kit and it does great, definitely notice I can get down in turns more. Need to go hit some twisties and see for sure.

If I got +2 on the front I won’t be able to touch the ground. Hahaha. I’m flat foot now but I don’t think I would want to go much higher. Had to park on an off camber, sloped dirt shoulder today and that was sketchy enough. 2 more inches would put it pretty damn high as well.

OK finally got some pics to work lol.
First road glide in my new one. 2008 with a stage 4 103. Its getting a new front fender, powdercoated forks and rims, 2-1 pro pipe, moto bars and 11" risers and a few little cosmetics for now. Trying to build a fun bagger on a budget.
Black road glide is my dads. Well, was. Just sold it yesterday. 95" with a ton of goodies and powdercoat. Nice bike, real clean for a 2005.
Last bike isnt a bagger but the FXR my dad and I just built in the garage. Painted it myself too. The real fun performer!

like a few others, I'm switching over from the dyna forum. Before I say this, i know im going to catch all kinds of hell for getting rid of it, but I've been doing alot of longer rides and was having horrible bruising due to chronic dvt's (bloodclots) and got rid of my Low Rider S. I miss that thing so much but im making this RG work. I managed to swap over my Big Als Cycles riser and bar setup and a guy on IG (tool1972 and yoshfab) is working on building me a short 2-1 stainless pipe. Also should be ordering my Powervision, Big sucker intake and Lucky Daves seat here soon. I will say, I had the saddlemen step-up and BMC widowmaker on my dyna. BUT when i sat on my buddy's LD last week, i knew i wanted that ****.

work in progress..

So far, ive done the bars, snagged a pc'd black 19" wheel and kw shield. thats about it on this turd lol.

Petey, you liked the saddlemen? My buddy got one for his lowrider S and that seat sucks ***. I can't imagine sitting on that thing for any extended period of time.

i have to agree... it looks good but i only had it for 2 months before i sold it and ordered the bmc widowmaker. while it was still hard, it was still better than that hard 90 degree back support.

btw. i was confused on youre question and realized in my quick typing on lunch break that i said i loved it. fixed. recanted. strike that. hard as ****.
