Might want to get that looked at, sounds like a heart valve. Either that or, you're just excited being on that Road Glide so much.

OP, best of luck. These new bikes are awesome and the M8 is going to be a welcome upgrade. As far as the 114 vs 117, a cam gets you to 117 power. I chose the ST because I like the standard bags. They cost too much to change, so if you like the stretch bags, I'd encourage you to get them.

I love that gold color. The pictures don't do thst color justice.
same setup on a special with eliminated mullet

like them. I like the taillight on the Road Glide Limited.

You could get a Limited and make the TourPack detachable.

Being out of favor never stopped a Road Glide lover.
