this bike just keeps getting better and better. Absolutely no complaints with it. It’s everything the EVO wanted to be and all that the Twinkie dreamed it could be. No sumping, no heat issues, no fluid migration. I think I might keep this one.

Ride safe!

Great looking Glide well done.You might just look at 13" Ultra rear shocks to get more lean clearance and twice the comfort!

Nice bike, Nice picture!

Like you I am very happy with our M8. So far 7k trouble free miles.

We'll see the Dragon on this bike in a couple of weeks. Got the same rain gear also. It looks better with your white bike than our green one!

Ride safe

That’s a great picture. Count me in as another one extremely happy with the bike. I’m almost done with the add on’s and performance enhancements to make it truly perfect for us. I think I’ll keep it as well

I had a blast there. I arrived, in that area, on the 27th of May and stayed there until the 2nd of June. The tropical storm was rolling thru at the same time. I was in rain gear every day. On the day we did the Moonshiner 28, I was in rained on for 9 of the 12 hours we were riding! The Cherohala was gorgeous, even in the fog. Total mileage for the week was 1750.

I made that run Sunday. 522 Miles round trip. I ran through a brief shower around Waynesville, NC for a few minutes. I get on 28 and the closer I get to Deals Gap the darker it got. I hung out at the store for a few minutes and rode across the Dragon in the rain. Got to the other end, started out the Foothills Parkway and the sun came on out. It was all good. I got in a good ride, conversed with some like minded people, bought a t-shirt, went in to Pigeon Forge, enjoyed a good burger and a much needed cold beer, and then flew on back home. Not a bad Fathers Day present to myself.

One more thing, to my knowledge the bike didn't sump or have any oil migration issues. The only thing the bike wanted was gas and for me to twist the throttle harder and lean it over just a little more. '17 FLHTP M-8
