Default 2017 Road Glide Special

Was rather nerve wracking but I traded my 2003 Ultra Classic and 2003 Super Glide in on a 2017 Road Glide Special - Superior Blue. The difference in bikes is just amazing... Didnt want to go to work today just wanted to spend all day riding. ToDo list.. Wife wants a better seat so taking suggestions, also going to get an LRS windshield to block a bit of air. So far Loving the new bike. I do have to say that my dealership really went out of their way to work out a deal with me, took both my bikes as trade in sight unseen. Even drove out to my house to pick up one of them.
