Congrats on the new ride. I rented one last year on a trip and they are nice. Just have to remember where you park at a big bike rally.

Congrats! I picked up my 20 RGS last month. Before I even took it home I swapped the bars, shield, and did a stage 3. I am doing a bunch of research before I swap the seat but its been good so far.

Have fun making it yours and enjoy the ride
Totally agreed my buddy got one a while back and the bars were awful. He went with some wild 1 chubbys apes and it made a worlds difference.

Congrats on the new bike.

Seems like everyone is buying road glides now. I'll bet they're outselling the street glides now.

I was the opposite. the seat and shield had to go, while the bars I like.

ride it for a bit, it'll let you know what needs to be changed.

Got the Legend Revo A’s and S&S GNX mufflers installed today. Still okay with the shield and bars, seat has to go but may wait until winter and send it off to mean city.

Stock header. Haven’t taken the dB reducer out yet so they’re very tame for now. A little more bark than stock, a little deeper tone. The faintest purr at 70 mph.
