Congrats, I got my vivid black FLTRU in September. Added the airwing tourpak rack and adjustable backrest. Then the slip ons. Be aware the Cat is now in the header and not the slipons. With open slipons I still ain't that loud. Wife makes way more noise with her V&H on her 08 superglide.
didn't do the speaker upgrade, cause coming from a RG with only front hogtune speakers the four ways are amazing. Don't you love the stiffer frame too?

Now I am one bike less unique from a week ago. Bah I shoulda got yellow so I could stand out. lol

hAD 1 AT MY DEALER WAS GONE IN 2 DAYS !!! I can not believe that a Tour Pak could make that much of a difference? I mean thats it? Bike has gotten so much better over the years and now it is a better tourer for any over 6' under the 6 foot mark the Batwing is better. Great Luck with your Machine and hope for many miles and YEARS with her. !

I am under 6' and I put 80,000 on my 04 batwing and test drove a 2011 ultra 103 and a RGU back to back figuring I was going to like the 2011 batwing better because I was used to it. I after riding each back to back twice, I went with the RGU so not sure where you are getting the batwing is better for someone under 6'.

you might want to ride with the stock bars for awhile and then decide you want to change them. takes awhile for your body to adapt to a new position but you might like it and it can save you some $$

Sorry about that I am getting that info from people over 6'. A few have told me they felt closed in on the Batwing being the wing was close. On the Road Glide the fairing is further away and feels more opened up and have more space ? I mean I feel that way when I sit on the Road Glide , it is so wide open in front of me where as my Ultra fairing is right there?

Haven't been under 6 foot for about 30 years so can't say. Love my RGU either way.
