Default All road glide owners!!!

I am new to the Road Glide life. And I love it.
I am wondering what is your favorite mod you have done to your beloved RG and WHY????? what made you want to customize that piece? The only thing I have done is sissy bar with pad.

+2 over stock height Clearview windshield
colormatched hoggchops lowers
all to counteract buffeting issues
Thinking of getting back rest and XM radio for long trips.

Dyno tuned Stage 1 kit (Black Ceramic Bub 7 true duals, RSD high flow air cleaner, & SERT) - nice flat torque curve and added HP!
Back rest, Airhawk pad, and Kuryakyn Cruise Boards - Cruising comfort
Clearview winshield - reduced buffeting and since it's thicker, no shuttering at high speeds.

Doing the 103" stage II and having it dynoed - totally different bike now. Love the power.

Lowering it 1" in both front and rear and putting the PM's as far as cosmetic things I've changed.

C&C seat as far as comfort. Stock seat was horrible IMO.

Street Sweeper +2 Khrome Werks bars, Hogg Chopps lowers and Clearview +2...This is THE most comfortable and best handling Harley Touring bike I have had (and I had a couple!) Lots of other little stuff but you said "1"

Cee Baileys SERG windshield. Best shield I have ever used (and I have tried more than I care to say even another CB).

Simsjam and Big Daddy Mike, once I was able to tear my eyes off your avatars and read your posts, I am wondering if the Clearview plus lowers cured the buffeting?

HQs 107 motor cause i like to do wheelies and go fast

chopped tour pak cause I put four 6x9s and an alpine amp in the bags

21/18 wheel combo -- I like the black wheels

lowers they look (and function) very good on a RG

progressive 12" shocks -- it needed a little lowering still have problems backing it up on an incline
