I took a new RGU for a test drive the other day and didn't have the ah ha moment that I was looking for. I think I will stick with the (batwing) Ultra

 

Just a quick photo....

 

That is very nice. Good for you.

 

What pipe is that and what tuner did you go with?

 

V&H Pro Pipe, HD download. I'm debating which tuner to go with.

 

The Fugly has been the Rodney Dangerfield of Harleys for years..... Now, its getting
a little respect. I think MOCO has a winner on its hands. Time will tell...... hdman

Oh Yeah, I own a Fugly...... what a ride....... " GOT FUGLY? "

 

Hey I ride a Street Glide and love it but the RG's are getting more and more popular. I sold a RG Ultra and a RG Custom this Saturday. I'm glad people are pleased with them! Heck it's they are making me money!

Congrats on the new scoot!!!

 

The Pro Pipe, SE a/c and dealer download woke the 103 (and a few neighbors) up! Really improved the seat-of-the-pants torque, and substantially reduced the heat.

Also rode up to Corbin and had a seat done. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...ide-ultra.html

 

Well, it's been about five years of ownership and not much riding since February 2014. We moved to the mountains, made lots of changes on the property, and buried the last two of our parents. We are in the process of replacing the wife's Street Glide, as she totaled it last month, so we've been looking at the new models. Usually when one of us upgrades, the other isn't far behind, but this time will be different.

I am still loving riding the RGU. The brakes are excellent, even though they are not linked - the ABS is the only feature the wife wanted on her SG that it didn't have. The ride quality is superb, it handles great, and I prefer the analog gauges. I found the clutch springs lacking when on a road trip to Alaska, and upgraded them upon our return. I added a Corbin Dual Tour seat with backrest, a ProPipe with quiet baffle, a SE air filter, Heritage-style bars, and a tune by Cycle Doctor. When it needed tires, it got American Eagles and I'm extremely happy with them.

I tested a 2015 RGU CVO, and found it pretty much the same. The linked brakes are nice, but the non-linked ones I have are still pretty close. The new fairing is an improvement, but not by much for me. The liquid-cooled exhaust valves are a smart addition, but also add to cost and complexity. All in all, not enough overall improvement to get me to switch - and the one I have is paid for. I've put nearly 30K miles on it, mostly before we moved, and plan to get back on the road with it much more often now that time allows. I'd like to see Yellowstone and Beartooth Pass again next summer.

 

I am still pondering the idea of going back to the shark, in three years I put 39,000 miles on the 2011 RGU, traded for the 2104 Limited in Aug 2013 and traded it with 13,000 miles on it for a new 2014 CVO Limited in Sept 2014. It rolled over 14,000 miles last week and now the 2016 Road Glide CVO has grabbed my attention again. Trade value and pricing is the hold up at this time, plus the limited time to ride in the frozen 6 months of Winter in Northern NY. Long live the shark.
