Default 2012 Road Glide w Thunderheaders

Just got a Flat Black RG and put Thunderheader Slip-ons, Big Sucker and Fuelpak on yesterday and couldn't be happier. The dealer had to do a dealer trade to get the bike i wanted and when it got there they found out it had a dent on the right side of the tank, so I'm not thrilled about that, but the new tank should be here in a couple of weeks.

Did you ride the bike before the stage 1 mods so you could compare? If so, did you notice a vast improvement?

Yes - I Did my 1000 mile oil change before making the mods. Big Difference. My Brother got a 2012 Street Glide the same day I got my RG and his is still stock. Before we were neck and neck, now from 0-60 I'm 3 bike lengths ahead of him and he's bouncing off the rev limiter trying to stay with me whereas I don't get anywhere near mine.
