Default 2012 Road Glide
I just traded in the Heritage Softail for a new Road Glide.

I haven't figured out the picture posting just yet but will post them up when I do.

What I am wondering is, has anyone ever blacked out a Road Glide?
Please share photos if so.

Mine is Black Denim and I am thinking of blacking out everything I can and was wondering if anyone has done it already?

Thanks

Congrats bro!!! Awesome bike!!!!
I went with the FLHX Black Denim and am blacking out everything.
Will leave a little chrome for contrast, but it will look sick when you get done.

Cheers

The ride sold this one on me, being in the Midwest with the wind and interstate truck blasts made the ride and handling a HUGE plus on this bike.

I have been so used to cringing and locking my arms when I see the wind coming, this thing just keeps on going and handling is so nimble.

Now I am just dying for April or May to hurry up and get here so i can get some miles on it.

BTW, how do I get rid of the double post, not sure how that happened

Sweet shark! Man they look nice with no taillight, the 2012 RGs and SGs up here have the full standard issue tailight. Nice low seat to this year I noticed. Congrats!

Not sure if it is the seat or what, but this ride sits higher than the Heritage did, I suspect it just the difference in the models, but I was to low on the Heritage anyway, and I don't rub my floor boards on the RG, as I do love the TWISTIES!!!!!
