Need your thoughts

I have an opportunity to get a brand spanking new 2020 Road Glide Special. I have been a Dyna rider for a while, and don't know much about the Road Glide.

My question is this: how do you like yours? Anything I should be aware of?

I have ridden one, yes. Loved it. But there is only so much you can glean from a test ride. Owners tend to be the best source of information.

I rode a friend of mine's for a few days , loved the way it handled . I think it had a lot to do with the frame mounted fairing and the way the whole bike is balanced . Before I bought my Road King , I had a Vaquero , it also had the frame mounted fairing , loved it , but it was a heavy beast , RG seemed a lot lighter / easier to ride . The Road Glide was one of my choices , but a bad knee kept me looking in other directions . I was never much into stereos , and the view through the windshield is what I loved about the King .

Good luck with your choice , they are a sweet looking bike , can't go wrong .
