New ride...'09 RKC
Welll, I finally picked up my 1st Harley this past Friday, an '09 RKC with less than 400 miles on it. The bike came with a few mods; Touring Pack, BUB True Duals, HD-GPS and a few more things.
So far I've put over 200 miles on the bike. I'm very impressed with the ride, very smooth with lot's of torque. However, I have noticed a lot of vibration from the engine. I'm not sure if the bike was tuned for the BUB's, maybe that's the culprit. I have riden Harleys before, the vibration never seemed as bad on the other bikes.
I'll probably keep everything "as is" until Spring arrives, then decide what additional mods, if any I want to do. The first thing I may change could be the handlebars, at 6' 2", I'm not finding them to my liking.
I figure I have a few decent weeks of riding left until winter sets in, I'm looking forward to putting some miles on this ride.

I do like the Bubs. They have a nice low rumble at idle, but when you get into the throttle, it gets you attention.
