Default She is finally here

Man shure is looking good. I like the skull's and the flames on the boards.

Rear shock psi on my RK by my FSM I don't put more then 35psi. Below is the scan of my FSM. Should (?) be close for an '07.

Ride safe.

Looks great bro. I like you came from a Road Star, an 05 Midnight. Agreed, not as much stump pullin torque. However, there is no comparing the ride qualtiy. Not even close. This is my second RG and needless to say, I am sold on them and as the local dealer said, "The Road Glide is Harley's best kept secret". I think the secret is getting out lmao.

Enjoy, ride safe and welcome to the best source of info on the web!
