Thanks everyone for your replies. I am going to go test ride it tomorrow to make sure I am happy with it. Going to try to sell mine outright, since they lowballed me for mine....of course. So if you know anyone out there looking for a fatbagger....have them shoot me an email at seymour.m@sbcglobal.net I am in ohio.

Sharks are cooler than bats

I have an 03' Fat Boy, which I love, and a 2010 Road Glide.
Thought I wanted a RK (rode one for 4 days in Colorado) test drove the Glide and was hooked.
If you like the ride of the Fat Boy, you will be stunned and amazed at the Road Glide; it is the BEST!

I have just bought a 2012 RGU and already put 2000 miles on it. I had a 2002 Gold Wing, 2003 Yamaha Venture, 2008 Road King, 2010 Utra Glide, and 2011 Ultra limited and I like the Road Glide the best. I am not crazy about the look but the open **** pit gives my 6' 3" body plenty of room. And for some reason, I am taking curves alot faster on this bike. My wife was the first to say something about how smooth and fast I was taking the curves. Had to put a bigger windshield to take care of wind but other than that, it is wonderful..

Best judge for the snark, is the test ride.... I was hooked by the shark 2 miles out of the dealership. It was a busy day, and the sales guy was alone, so he told me to take the bike on a LONG ride.... I did.... but I knew quickly it was for me.
Seats, and windshield (as with most bikes)make all the difference. My bike is dialed in... I'm afraid to even LOOK at a new one....

Looking for some honest opinions about the Road Glide. I currently have a 2004 Fatboy, that I have bagged out. I love the look, but am looking for a true touring bike. I located a 2004 Road Glide, one owner bike, at a dealership. It is priced right, and I feel I can negotiate a good deal. I have never owned a Road Glide, so I am wondering what people think of them. Thanks in advance for chiming in.......
I took the jump July 3 to a 2011 FLTRX Road Glide Custom, I kept wanting to try to work it out to keep my Fatboy but could not so I just did it. Now 6 weeks later I wonder why I did not do it sooner. I love the Road Glide, it is better IMO around town, on the twisties and on the freeway. It is more nimble in a parking lot and out corners my Fatboy on the canyons. Its smooth on the freeway.
The only thing I regret is not doing it sooner
