Default Bought '09 Road Glide Today.

I'm just as proud as a hog in slop.
Picked up '09 RG this afternoon.

Orange
ABS
Security

Dealer tried like hell to sell me that leftover '08 he has. Only knocked off $1500 less than the '09. Told him he'd have to get down to $16,000, OUT THE DOOR, before I'd take it. Needless to say, we were off on numbers...by a lot!

Guess it's time to start shopping!
First purchase...NEW SEAT!!!
I hate those stock seats.

Yes I do.
It's not for sale or trade.

Well, it is...but the offer better be hefty.

congrats dude. prepare yourself for the "ugly bike" comments you get here. just remember they are all just jealous. I think you should give the stock seat a chance, i find it to be really comfortable even compared to mustangs.

new bars on the other hand should be in top of your list as the stock ones are plain miserable.

Congrats on the Shark Nose! It'll be interesting to hear what you thing about the pros/cons of the SG and RG since you now own both.
