Default That Strange Feeling

Monday before last I traded in the 2011 Electra Limited for a new 15 RGS. Test rode the Road Glide and loved it. Huge difference for me.

Decided to go with the 120ST, so I have yet to bring the bike home. Dealership is still waiting for the engine and then they will do the install and dyno tune. Since then I have bought the black out kit for the main stuff, which will be installed.

Then by the help of a great HD Forum Member ( Thanks hd_rolling) I purchased the D&D Borzilla and Sportsman Clutch. Going to let the dealer try their suggested exhaust set up on the dyno, and then compare to see the difference. Will of course go with the best numbers.

So just sitting here foaming at the mouth to get my bike and be able to ride. Waiting for the bike is getting very expensive, because I keep finding stuff I want even before I get her home.

Congratulations!! I'm sure you're stoked.

Since you never took delivery of the new bike with the stock motor, did they give you the option of full credit value off of the cost of the new 120ST motor....or do you wind up having a motor to sell? Just curious.

They gave me credit on the 103 and they are keeping it. I am sure I could have sold it for more, but don't have the time or room for an engine sitting around until it sold. Lol

That's great that they gave you that option. If you're happy, all is good. Enjoy that bike and remember.....

As soon as I get it there will be plenty of pics and videos. I am excited as hell, but anxious at the same time. Hoping everything comes in early this week and I am riding by the middle of the week.
