I really like the RG's I came real close to getting one. Could not talk seller down on price. In MHO I think there are two mods that are a must. #1 drop the rear some, #2 a 21/18 or 17 wheel set up.

I have a feeling you're gonna love it! What else? Well if you can make it look like as nice as Brettcr's (that's one bad *** scoot) you'd be heading in the right direction!

You will like the fugly, heritage bars are a big improvement, I got some "Sancho Wings" and they really helped the wind buffeting.

Been wanting a Harley since 2004. Had my heart set on a Dyna Wide Glide up until 2010 when I realized that baggers were the way to go.

Went from wanting a Road King to an Electra Glide Standard. Then I test rode a 2010 RGC and I was sold on the FLTRX. While saving up for a down payment, I remember wishing HD offered a 103 RGC with dual exhaust. Then in late 2010 I got word that the 2011's had both. Picked up my 2011 RG five months ago. Been happy every since.

Im waiting to hear on an 11 with a 96 motor. I wanted the 103 and ABS but this deal on the 96 if I can get it will be worth it.

The handling of the Road Glide is out of this world, once u ride the Road Glide nothig else compares, thats my 2 cents worth.
