I can't understand why someone will purchase a new vehicle then come on here and wonders about any issues pertaining to what he just purchased. That makes so much sense!

The only problem I've had with my 15' SGS is getting the sh't eating grin off my face every time I ride it....

No glaring issues with mine in 2400 miles so far. It is smoother than my previous 2011 Road King with 4 different dyno tunes done to it, runs cool enough for me, (hasn't been that warm out since purchased), and has great power all throughout the rpm range.
I installed a LRS right away and noticed the front fairing bulging between the bolts and when I wash it, the water immediately pools at the base of the windscreen then disappears. I asked LRS about that and they have heard of that happening with a select few newer models so that is something to look out for with your new bike.

Nut and bolt it and make sure everything was prepped properly. Then try like heck to make yourself go to work on these pretty fall days, rather than just riding on. That's the only issue I've had with mine.

Great bike. No big issues other than a few recalls, which you should have to deal with. Congrats and enjoy.
