And it will grow on you like a bad car wreck. If you really love the RG, fine, I'm just sayin'.....Been there, done that, and I ended up having to let her go to get what I really wanted.... Give it some serious thought, even with the great deal.
I totally get what you are saying. I couldn't agree more.
I really like both the RG and the SG its just that the SG fits me much better right out of the box.
Besides a good price and low miles this bike has had some nice work done. 103 stage II. Braided lines. Klockwerks windshield. Internally wired fog lights. Smoked tail light and tun signals. warranty until 2012.
My main problem is the reach to the bars, long trips would be tough I think.

If it is a good deal go with it. Thats the best part of owning a harley, making it fit you and making it your own
Would you go with HD Low profile rear shocks, or the street glide shocks?
