I know I haven't posted much in this forum since I got the Fat Boy back in 2018 but after some deliberation and not really ever getting comfy on the Fat Boy I traded it in on a 2016 Road Glide Special a couple days ago. I have learned a lot in every forum I have belonged to but I think this one here the most by far. Thanks.

As Shaggie said , nice looking Fatboy you had there. Congrats on the RGS , Im thinking of trading up to a road glide special too, I currently have a Fatboy but Im very comfortable on it, trading mostly for the bags, radio and fairing.
How do you feel about the RG now compared to the FB ?
I went the other way. I traded my 15 RGS for a 20 Heritage Classic. Both are great bikes. I loved my RG but just wasnt using it for what it was made. Heritage fits me and my riding habits somewhat better.
I guess I have the best of both worlds. I still have my 2006 Heritage Classic and a 2018 RGU. I’m still more comfortable on my Heritage than I am on the Road Glide.

Having Road King before it's very familiar. I don't like the handlebars. I'll be changing them out soon. I do like the fixed fairing. The RG seems to like the curves better than the Fat Boy.

Same... I kept my Deluxe and have an Ultra now also.
