Default FM 107 or 2015 RGS
I can't decide if I want to upgrade my 2007 SG (14500 miles) to FM 107/777/10.50:1or trade in for 2015RGS. I know they have made a tone of changes to the bikes in the last 8 yrs. Just seeing what other guys have done and how it worked out for them.

I traded my 08 SG for a 15 RGS and I'm glad I did. HD has come a long ways in the last 7 years.

I go with the 107, if you get the 15 then you have to start all over with mods.

I went from 2001 Road King Classic to a 2015 Street Glide Special.
Best decision.
Too many improvements in that time frame.
Upgrade!

As much as I love my FM107, I'd recommend getting the '15 RGS. There are so many improvements HD has made since '07 that you'll be amazed.

I also think you should do the FM107, but just wait a few years until after you get your new '15 RGS.

Try this, go test ride a new '15 RGS. You'll know immediately after the test ride which direction you should go.

Good luck.

I went 107 build u described, love it so far. Haven't had it too long though. If I could afford a new bike and had a 2007, I would get a new bike. The upgrades are night and day. I have a 2010 with lots of mods, so I went 107
