Love my 05 Road Glide as well. I bought mine off the floor so I wouldn't have to wait, so I settled for the Vivid Black. Sure do like the yellow and red ones though.

Just wanted to let everyone know how much I'm enjoying my new 05 Road Glide. It's a blast to ride and I'm getting 43 MPH with a big bore kit to boot.

Thanks to everyone here for answering my stupid questions, I'm sure I'll have more.

I love my Road glide as well but I know for a fact that you should be able to go faster than that! Especially with the big bore kit!!!![:@]
Hehe We all know what ya mean, not sure if its just my riding style but im lucky to get 36mpg out of my 02 with the 95" kit. Once some money frees up im probably going to change cams and get it dynoed. I hate riding on a motor that a previous owner set up. No idea what cam is in it till I tear it down.
