05' Road Glide stock no pipes no nothing yet, why fix it if it Ain't broke. Never had a problem. I ride 2-up in Arizona in the heat and in the mountains that bike has plenty of power, I'm not gonna waste a lot of money just for bragging rights. I had a test ride on an 09 Road Glide not enough difference for me to get all giddy over, and that 09' was pinging like a sum-bitch! Road Glide Interstate recliner it's the only model I'll ever have. Maintenance change the oil every 3,000 I use AMSOIL 20W50 for the motor,AMSOIL 75W90 for the trans,Dexron ATF in the primary.

07 Ultra had to replace the cam plate due to bushing other than that 50,000 and no other motor issues. Trans was fully replaced though.

07 Road Glide, 21,000 no problems except a bad inner cam chain tensioner/hydraulic unit i found when i changed cams. Can't remember exactly what the runout was, but it was right what it was supposed to be. Same with my 05 Dyna when i checked it. Ran over a brick in the yard and broke voltage regulator when bike was new. Can't blame the factory for stupidity though. It's a Road Glide and you have to get used to the fact you can't see your front wheel.

WOW! What a testament to the legend. Just goes to show that all the lip service about problems might be just that, LIP SERVICE! Glad to hear the results, very informative.
