the ride home was all freeway yesterday so I rode up in the hills today to try some twisties and overall I am very pleased. like the way it takes the bumps and the extra power is a big improvement over my 88 inch FXD. but I'm glad i didn't sell the Super Glide because I had to slow way down in the tighter corners on the RK. scraped the right floor board twice in about 10 miles and when i folded it up to look at it I noticed it had already been ''sharpened'' many times before. I was ridding two up and i haven't checked or experimented with the air in the shocks yet so maybe that can be improved. (any guidance in this area would be appreciated)
hitting it hard in the twisties is some of my favorite ridding. so if thats on the agenda the RK unfortunately is gona have to stay home.
