Worst upgrade for me was my street glide. I should never have traded my RKC for it. I kept the SG for less than a year. The SG may be the most popular tourer and it is a great bike for those who have it, but it just didn't work for me. Five years and five (non-Harley) bikes later, I've finally realized my mistake and this past Saturday I went in and put money down on the new anniversary Road King. It feels good to be back. This time I'll stay.

When I bought my 2012 SG, I found ***'s in Rockhill to offer the best deal.

SEPRT when all that was really needed was a PCIII.
But the SE part was on sale and I thought it would be a great investment.
SE203 cams, 95'' flat top pistons and at the time SE Heads, not the HTTC ones either.
Anyways, it was/is a spend,live and learn.

I've head of RK owners converting to Batwing/Fixed fairing but would it have been cost effective to remove the Batwing assembly and convert to a RK? And then sell the entire Batwing assembly?
Worst for me was the tour pak retractable lid tether.
I ride in the cold a lot and it takes for-friggin-ever to retract when cold. First time I closed the lid cold, the cable got wrapped around the yo-yo and I ended up tearing the paint up getting it open again.
Best mod? The RCX-celerator. No tuning. Ever.
