Default New RGU WOW!!

My employer decided to move my job to mexico. We were living in upstate NY and used that as a reason to move to a better climate. We packed up and moved to Concord NC. I found a job at a Harley dealer and am having fun with it. My 2004 Road King Custom was a great bike, but didn't ride as good as the wife would like on long trips and as I can Ride pretty much all year here and the old bike was getting up in miles I traded it for a left over 2011 RGU with the power pack. I am just amazed at how nice this bike is. It feels much lighter than the road king and handles slow speeds much better. I will have the stage 1 done tomorrow, I am going with the V&H HO slip ons. After about 1000 miles it will be cam time wooo hooo. I wish I had bought this bike a long time ago.
